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 Jehovah, Shall the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of the princes, The bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, And the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Be cast forth from 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 be spread before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, Which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked; Which they have consulted and have worshipped; They shall not be gathered, nor be buried; They shall be as dung upon the face of the ground.
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 of them that remain of this evil race, Which remain in all the places whither I have driver them, Saith Jehovah 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?
Thou shalt also say to them, Thus saith Jehovah, Doth a man fall, and not rise again? Doth one turn aside from the way, 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 hath this people, Why hath Jerusalem, completely revolted? 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 have listened and heard, But they speak not aright; No one repenteth of his wickedness, Saying, “What have I done?” Every one runneth at full speed in his rebellion, As a horse rusheth to 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.
Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her times, And the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the season of their coming, But my people regard not the laws of Jehovah.
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 is it that ye say, “We are wise, We possess the law of Jehovah”? Behold, the false pen of the scribes Hath turned it into falsehood.
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 shall be confounded; They shall be dismayed and ensnared; Behold, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom is there 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 to others, And their fields to plunderers. For from the least of them even to the greatest, Every one is greedy of gain, Prophet and priest alike, Every one of them practiseth deceit.
11 Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
They heal the wound of my people slightly, 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.
Are they ashamed, that they have done abominable things? Nay, they are not at all ashamed; They know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall with them that fall; At the time when I punish them, They shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
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 Jehovah; There shall be no grapes on the vine, Nor shall there be from the fig-tree; Even the leaf shall be withered; For I will send those that shall overrun 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 do we remain here?” [[shall they say.]] “Assemble yourselves and let us go into the fortified cities. And let us there wait in silence! For Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, And given us the water of hemlock to drink, Because we have sinned against Jehovah.
15 Nanantena fiadanana isika, kanjo tsy nahita soa; Ary andro fanasitranana, fa indro fampitahorana.
We look for peace, but no good cometh; For a time of deliverance, 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.
From Dan is heard the snorting of their horses, At the sound of the neighing of their steeds the whole land trembleth; They come and devour the land, and all that is in it; The city, and them that dwell therein.
17 Fa indro Aho handefa bibilava hamely anareo, dia menarana izay tsy azon’ ody, ka hanaikitra anareo ireny, hoy Jehovah.
Behold I send against you serpents, Basilisks, which cannot be charmed, And they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
18 Indrisy! enga anie ka hisy fahamiramiranana ho ahy eto amin’ ny alaheloko, fa reraka ny foko ato anatiko.
O where is consolation for my 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 cry of the daughter of my people from a far country! “Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is her King there no more?” Why then have they provoked me by their graven images, And their foreign vanities?
20 Lasa ny fararano, tapitra ny taom-piotazana, nefa tsy voavonjy isika.
The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, And we are not delivered.
21 Torotoro aho noho ny fahatorotoroan’ ny oloko zanakavavy; Misaona aho, ary horohoro no mahazo ahy.
For the wound of the daughter of my people am I wounded; I mourn; amazement hath taken hold of 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 are not the wounds of my people healed?
