Jeremia 7
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Mitsangana eo am-bavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, ary torio eo izao teny izao, ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry Joda rehetra, izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto mba hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
Place thyself in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in by these gates to bow down before the Lord.
3 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ianareo.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will permit you to dwell in this place.
4 Aza matoky ny teny lainga hoe: Tempolin’ i Jehovah, tempolin’ i Jehovah, Tempolin’ i Jehovah ity.
[But] do not rely on the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, [as] they [say].
5 Fa raha ataonareo tsara mihitsy ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ka mitsara marina ny adin’ olona amin’ ny namany ianareo,
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
6 Ary tsy mampahory ny vahiny sy ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena, na mandatsaka rà marina amin’ ity tany ity, sady tsy manaraka andriamani-kafa hahatonga loza aminareo,
If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt:
7 Dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia eto amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo, hatramin’ ny ela ka ho mandrakizay.
Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity.
8 He! ianareo matoky ny teny lainga, nefa tsy mahasoa tsinona izany.
Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit.
9 Hay! hangalatra sy hamono olona sy hijangajanga va ianareo ary hianian-tsy tò sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala sady hanaraka andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantatrareo?
How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba'al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge;
10 Nefa mbola avy miseho ao anatrehako amin’ ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity ihany ianareo ka manao hoe: Efa voavonjy izahay mba hanaovana ireto fahavetavetana rehetra ireto!
And [then] come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are delivered;” in order to do all these abominations?
11 Moa ataonareo ho zohy fieren’ ny jiolahy va ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity? Indro, ny tenako aza dia mahita izany, hoy Jehovah.
Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? [But] I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12 Fa mandehana ianareo any amin’ ny fitoerako izay ao Silo, dia ilay nasiako ny anarako any am-boalohany, ka jereo izay nataoko taminy noho ny haratsian’ ny Isiraely oloko.
For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Koa ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, satria nanao izany zavatra rehetra izany ianareo, ary niteny taminareo Aho, eny, nifoha maraina koa ka niteny taminareo, nefa tsy nohenoinareo, ary niantso anareo Aho, nefa tsy novalianareo,
And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing [the prophets] to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer:
14 Koa dia ho toy ny nataoko tamin’ i Silo no hataoko amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako sady itokianareo, sy amin’ ny fitoerana izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo;
Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 Ary hesoriko hiala eto anatrehako ianareo toy ny nanesorako ny rahalahinareo rehetra, dia ny taranak’ i Efraima rehetra.
And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
16 Koa aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana sy fivavahana ho azy na mifona amiko; Fa tsy hihaino anao Aho.
But thou—pray not thou in behalf of this people, nor lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer, nor make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
17 Tsy hitanao va ny ataon’ ireo any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema?
Dost thou not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Ny zaza manangon-kitay, ny ray mandrehitra afo, ary ny vehivavy mametafeta ny koba hatao mofo ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra sy hanidinana fanatitra aidina ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa mba hampahasosotra Ahy.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.
19 Moa Izaho va no ampahasosorin’ ireo, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy ny tenany ihany mba ho fangaihainy?
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord, [and] not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
20 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako haidina amin’ ity tany ity, dia amin’ ny olona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny hazo any an-tsaha ary ny vokatry ny tany; Dia hirehitra izany ka tsy hovonoina.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, over man, and over beast, and over the trees of the field, and over the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and it shall not be quenched.
21 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Aoka ny fanatitra dorana ho naman’ ny fanatitrareo hafa alatsa-drà, ka mihinàna hena.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Add your burnt-offerings unto your peace-sacrifices, and eat the flesh thereof.
22 Fa tsy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa no nitenenako tamin’ ny razanareo na nandidiako azy tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
For I spoke not with your fathers, and I commanded them not on the day of my bringing them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offering or sacrifice;
23 Fa izao kosa no nandidiako azy: Henoy ny feoko. Dia ho Andriamanitrareo Aho, ary ianareo ho oloko ka handeha amin’ ny lalana rehetra nandidiako anareo, mba hahitanareo soa.
But this thing did I command them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be unto you for a God, and ye shall be unto me for a people; and walk ye altogether on the way which I may command you, in order that it may be well unto you.
24 Kanjo tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nandeha tamin’ ny fisainany sy ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy dia niamboho, fa tsy mba nanatrika.
Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; but they walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart; and they went backward, and not forward:
25 Hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razanareo avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany dia nirahiko ho any aminareo ihany ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa isan’ andro Aho ka naniraka azy mandrakariva.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt until this day; and I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, sending them daily in the morning early;
26 Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy izy ireo sady tsy nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razany aza.
Yet they hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear; but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers.
27 Ary na dia holazainao aminy aza ireo teny rehetra ireo, dia tsy hihaino anao izy; Ary na dia antsoinao aza izy, dia tsy hamaly anao.
And if thou speak unto them all these words, and they will not hearken to thee; and if thou call unto them, and they will not answer thee:
28 Koa lazao aminy hoe: Ity no firenena tsy mihaino feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady tsy mino anatra; Very ny fahamarinana, fa afaka tamin’ ny vavany.
Then shalt thou say unto them, This is the nation that hearken not to the voice of the Lord their God, and accept not correction; lost is the truth, and is obliterated from their mouth.
29 Hetezo ny volonao, ry Jerosalema, ka ario, ary manaova hira fahalahelovana any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, satria lavin’ i Jehovah sy afoiny ny taranaka mahatezitra Azy.
Cut off thy flowing hair, and cast it away, and take up on mountain-tops a lamentation; for rejected hath the Lord and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 Fa manao izay ratsy eo imasoko ny taranak’ i Joda, hoy Jehovah, mametraka ny fahavetavetany ao amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako izy mba handoto azy.
For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, saith the Lord: they have set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 Ary izy nanorina ireo fitoerana avo any Tofeta, izay ao amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinema, handoroany ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy amin’ ny afo; Nefa zavatra tsy mba nandidiako na tao an-tsaiko akory aza izany.
And they have built the high-places of Thophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I had not commanded, and which never came into my mind.
32 Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana azy intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa. Ary any Tofeta aza no handevenana noho ny hateren’ ny tany.
Therefore, behold days are coming, saith the Lord, that it shall not be called any more Thophet, or The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of slaughter: and they shall bury in Thophet, for want of room.
33 Ary ny fatin’ ity firenena ity dia ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibidia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
And the carcasses of this people shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, with none to chase them away.
34 Dia hatsahatro any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny feon’ ny ampakarina; Fa ho lao ny tany.
And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for a desert shall the land become.
