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, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
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 sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of 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 be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
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?
Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
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.
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
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 attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
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.
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance 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.
How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
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 dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom 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 give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every 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!
And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, 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.
They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith 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 will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
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 do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have 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 healing, and behold terror!'
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 snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city 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, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18 Indrisy! enga anie ka hisy fahamiramiranana ho ahy eto amin’ ny alaheloko, fa reraka ny foko ato anatiko.
Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within 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 from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?' — 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?' —
20 Lasa ny fararano, tapitra ny taom-piotazana, nefa tsy voavonjy isika.
'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
21 Torotoro aho noho ny fahatorotoroan’ ny oloko zanakavavy; Misaona aho, ary horohoro no mahazo ahy.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on 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 balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
