Jeremia 7
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, 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.
“Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Aza matoky ny teny lainga hoe: Tempolin’ i Jehovah, tempolin’ i Jehovah, Tempolin’ i Jehovah ity.
Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
5 Fa raha ataonareo tsara mihitsy ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ka mitsara marina ny adin’ olona amin’ ny namany ianareo,
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment 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,
You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
7 Dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia eto amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo, hatramin’ ny ela ka ho mandrakizay.
Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
8 He! ianareo matoky ny teny lainga, nefa tsy mahasoa tsinona izany.
Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to 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?
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
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 you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been 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.
Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess 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, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
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;
I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave 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 have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole 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.
And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
17 Tsy hitanao va ny ataon’ ireo any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema?
Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in 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 sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 Moa Izaho va no ampahasosorin’ ireo, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy ny tenany ihany mba ho fangaihainy?
Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For 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 said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
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 did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and 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 I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for 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.
And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are 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.
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
26 Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy izy ireo sady tsy nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razany aza.
And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above 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 you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
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.
And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off 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 your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves 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 sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile 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 have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
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,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
33 Ary ny fatin’ ity firenena ity dia ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibidia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
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 have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
