Jeremia 8
1 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hofongarina avy ao am-pasana ny taolan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny taolan’ ny lehibeny sy ny taolan’ ny mpisorona sy ny taolan’ ny mpaminany ary ny taolan’ ny mponina any Jerosalema,
At that time, sayeth the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the Kings of Iudah, and the bones of their princes, and the bones of the Priests and the bones of the Prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Ierusalem out of their graues.
2 ka haeliny eo anatrehan’ ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra, izay efa tiany sy notompoiny sy efa narahiny sy efa notadiaviny ary efa niankohofany teo anatrehany: tsy hangonina na halevina intsony ireny, fa hatao zezika eny ambonin’ ny tany.
And they shall spread them before the sunne and the moone, and all the host of heauen, whom they haue loued, and whome they haue serued, and whome they haue followed, and whome they haue sought, and whome they haue worshipped: they shall not be gathered nor be buried, but shall be as doung vpon the earth.
3 Ary ny sisa rehetra amin’ ity taranaka ratsy ity, izay mbola sisa any amin’ ny tany rehetra nandroahako azy, dia haniry ny ho faty noho ny ho velona, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
And death shall bee desired rather then life of all the residue that remaineth of this wicked familie, which remaine in all the places where I haue scattered them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
4 Ary koa, lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ho lavo va ny olona ka tsy hiarina? Hihodina hivily va ny olona ka tsy hitodika hiverina?
Thou shalt say vnto them also, Thus sayeth the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? shall he turne away and not turne againe?
5 Nahoana ity firenena eto Jerosalema ity no miodina amin’ ny fiodinana tsy mety mitsahatra? Mikikitra mafy amin’ ny fitaka izy ka tsy mety miverina.
Wherefore is this people of Ierusalem turned backe by a perpetuall rebellion? they gaue themselues to deceit, and would not returne.
6 Nihaino Aho, ka nandre, fa manao teny tsy marina izy: Ary tsy misy manenina ny amin’ ny haratsiany hoe: Endrey izany nataoko izany! Izy rehetra dia samy mivily mankamin’ ny alehany avy tahaka ny soavaly miriotra ho amin’ ny ady.
I hearkened and heard, but none spake aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What haue I done? euery one turned to their race, as the horse rusheth into the battell.
7 Na dia ny vano eny amin’ ny lanitra aza dia mahalala ny fotoan’ androny, ary ny domohina sy ny sidintsidina ary ny vanobe koa samy mitandrina ny fotoana fihaviany; Fa ny oloko kosa tsy mba mahalala ny fitsipik’ i Jehovah.
Euen the storke in the aire knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallowe obserue the time of their comming, but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord.
8 Ahoana no anaovanareo hoe: Hendry izahay, ary ato aminay ny lalàn’ i Jehovah? Nefa ny fanoratan-daingan’ ny mpanoratra mahatonga azy ho lainga.
Howe doe yee say, Wee are wise, and the Lawe of the Lord is with vs? Loe, certeinly in vaine made hee it, the penne of the scribes is in vaine.
9 Mahazo henatra ny hendry, raiki-tahotra sy voasambotra izy; Indro, ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia nolaviny, ka inona intsony no fahendrena ananany?
The wise men are ashamed: they are afraid and taken. loe, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them?
10 Ary noho izany dia homeko ho an’ ny sasany ny vadiny, ary ny sahany ho an’ izay maka azy, satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena, na mpaminany na mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
Therefore will I giue their wiues vnto others, and their fieldes to them that shall possesse them: for euery one from the least euen vnto the greatest is giuen to couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, euery one dealeth falsely.
11 Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
For they haue healed the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
12 Nomenarina izy noho ny nanaovany fahavetavetana, nefa tsy mba menatra akory izy, ary tsy mba valahara; Koa ho lavo ao amin’ izay lavo izy, amin’ ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho tafintohina izy, ho Jehovah.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore shall they fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayeth the Lord.
13 Hakifako tokoa izy, hoy Jehovah; Tsy mamoa ny voaloboka, ary tsy misy voany ny aviavy, malazo ny raviny; Ary nanendry izay hanafika azy Aho.
I wil surely consume them, sayth the Lord: there shalbe no grapes on the vine, nor figges on the figtree, and the leafe shall fade, and the things that I haue giuen them, shall depart from them.
14 Nahoana isika no mbola mipetra-poana? Mivoria ianareo, ka andeha isika hiditra any an-tanàna mimanda, ka dia ho faty ao; fa Jehovah Andriamanitra efa nanendry antsika ho faty ka nanome rano mangidy hosotrointsika Noho ny nanotantsika tamin’ i Jehovah.
Why doe we stay? assemble your selues, and let vs enter into the strong cities, and let vs be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put vs to silence and giuen vs water with gall to drinke, because we haue sinned against the Lord.
15 Nanantena fiadanana isika, kanjo tsy nahita soa; Ary andro fanasitranana, fa indro fampitahorana.
We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
16 Ny fiefonefon’ ny soavaly dia re hatrany Dana: Mihorohoro ny tany rehetra noho ny fanenon’ ny soavaly matanjaka; Fa avy izy ka mandany ny tany mbamin’ ny izay rehetra ao aminy, dia ny tanàna sy izay monina ao.
The neying of his horses was heard from Dan, the whole lande trembled at the noyse of the neying of his strong horses: for they are come, and haue deuoured the land with all that is in it, the citie, and those that dwell therein.
17 Fa indro Aho handefa bibilava hamely anareo, dia menarana izay tsy azon’ ody, ka hanaikitra anareo ireny, hoy Jehovah.
For beholde, I will sende serpents, and cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall sting you, sayth the Lord.
18 Indrisy! enga anie ka hisy fahamiramiranana ho ahy eto amin’ ny alaheloko, fa reraka ny foko ato anatiko.
I would haue comforted my selfe against sorowe, but mine heart is heauie in me.
19 Injany! misy feo fitarainan’ ny oloko zanakavavy hatrany amin’ ny tany lavitra hoe: Moa Jehovah tsy ao Ziona va? Ary tsy ao aminy va ny Mpanjakany? Nahoana no nahatezitra Ahy ireny tamin’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ao aminy sy tamin’ ny zava-poana avy amin’ ny firenena hafa?
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people for feare of them of a farre countrey, Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why haue they prouoked mee to anger with their grauen images, and with the vanities of a strange god?
20 Lasa ny fararano, tapitra ny taom-piotazana, nefa tsy voavonjy isika.
The haruest is past, the sommer is ended, and we are not holpen.
21 Torotoro aho noho ny fahatorotoroan’ ny oloko zanakavavy; Misaona aho, ary horohoro no mahazo ahy.
I am sore vexed for the hurt of ye daughter of my people: I am heauie, and astonishment hath taken me.
22 Moa tsy misy balsama va any Gileada? Moa tsy misy dokotera va any? Koa nahoana no tsy tanteraka ny fanasitranana ny oloko zanakavavy?
Is there no balme at Gilead? is there no Physition there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered.
