Fitomaniana 4
1 Indrisy! efa matromatroka ny volamena; Efa niova ny tena volamena tsara! Ny vato nohamasinina dia efa nahahany eny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny.
ALEPH. How will the gold be tarnished, [and] the fine silver changed! the sacred stones have been poured forth at the top of all the streets.
2 Indrisy! ny zanaka mahafinaritr’ i Ziona, izay saro-bidy tahaka ny tena volamena, dia efa atao ho toy ny siny, asan-tànan’ ny mpanefy tanimanga!
BETH. The precious sons of Zion, who were equalled in value with gold, how are they counted as earthen vessels, the works of the hands of the potter!
3 Na dia ny amboadia aza dia manolotra nono hampinonoany ny zanany; Fa ny oloko zanakavavy kosa dia efa masiaka toy ny ostritsa any an-efitra.
GIMEL. Nay, serpents have drawn out the breasts, they give suck to their young, the daughters of my people are incurably cruel, as an ostrich in a desert.
4 Ny lelan’ ny zaza minono miraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniny noho ny hetaheta; Ny ankizy madinika mangataka hanina, nefa tsy misy mizara ho azy.
DALETH. The tongue of the sucking child cleaves to the roof of its mouth for thirst: the little children ask for bread, [and] there is none to break [it] to them.
5 Izay nihinana zava-py dia mahantra eny an-dalambe; Izay notezaina tamin’ ny jaky dia mandamaka eny amin’ ny zezika.
HE. They that feed on dainties are desolate in the streets: they that used to be nursed in scarlet have clothed themselves with dung.
6 Fa ny heloky ny oloko zanakavavy dia lehibe noho ny helok’ i Sodoma, Izay noravana indray mipi-maso monja, nefa tsy nokasihin-tanana akory,
VAU. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people has been increased beyond the iniquities of Sodoma, [the city] that was overthrown very suddenly, and none laboured against her [with their] hands.
7 Ny lehibeny dia mangatsakatsaka noho ny fanala, eny, fotsy noho ny ronono; Mena noho ny voahangy ny tenany; Tahaka ny vato safira ny endriny.
ZAIN. Her Nazarites were made purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were purified [as] with fire, their polishing was superior to sapphire stone.
8 Fa izao kosa dia mainty noho ny arina ny tarehiny, ka tsy fantatra eny an-dalana izy; Ny hodiny miraikitra amin’ ny taolany ka tonga maina toy ny hazo.
HETH. Their countenance is become blacker than smoke; they are not known in the streets: their skin has cleaved to their bones; they are withered, they are become as a stick.
9 Tsara ny matin-tsabatra noho ny maty mosary; Fa ireto dia mihareraka toy ny voatrobaka noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny vokatry ny saha.
TETH. The slain with the sword were better than they that were slain with hunger: they have departed, pierced through from [lack of] the fruits of the field.
10 Ny tanan’ ny vehivavy malemy fanahy aza dia nahandro ny zanany: Eny, izany no nohaniny tamin’ ny fandringanana ny oloko zanakavavy.
JOD. The hands of tender-hearted women have sodden their own children: they became meat for them in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 Tanterahin’ i Jehovah ny fahavinirany, naidiny ny fahatezerany mirehitra, ary Izy nampirehitra afo tao Ziona, handevonana ny fanorenany.
CHAPH. The Lord has accomplished his wrath; he has poured out fierce anger, and has kindled a fire in Sion, and it has devoured her foundations.
12 Ny mpanjakan’ ny tany sy ny mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao dia tsy nanampo fa ny rafilahy sy ny fahavalo no ho tafiditra ao amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema.
LAMED. The kings of the earth, [even] all that dwell in the world, believed not that an enemy and oppressor would enter through the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Noho ny fahotan’ ny mpaminany sy ny heloky ny mpisorony, izay nandatsaka ny ran’ ny marina tao aminy, no nahatongavan’ izao.
MEM. For the sins of her prophets, [and] iniquities of her priests, who shed righteous blood in the midst of her,
14 Niraparapa toy ny jamba teny an-dalambe izy, sady voahosin-drà ny tenany, ka tsy nisy sahy nikasika ny akanjony.
NUN. her watchmen staggered in the streets, they were defiled with blood in their weakness, they touched their raiment [with it].
15 Ny olona niantsoantso azy hoe: Mialà ianareo, fa maloto, mialà, mialà, aza mikasika anay. Raha nandositra sy niraparapa izy, dia hoy ny olona tany amin’ ny jentilisa: Tsy mahazo mivahiny atỳ intsony ireny.
SAMECH. Depart you from the unclean ones: call you them: depart, depart, touch [them] not: for they are on fire, yes, they stagger: say you amongst the nations, They shall no more sojourn [there].
16 Ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah no nampihahakahaka azy, ary tsy mijery azy intsony Izy; Ny mpisorona tsy hajain’ ireny, ary ny antitra tsy amindrany fo.
AIN. The presence of the Lord [was] their portion; [but] he will not again look upon them: they regarded not the person of the priests, they pitied not the prophets.
17 Mbola pahina ny masonay miandry foana ny hamonjy anay; Nitazana teo amin’ ny tilikambo izahay nanantena ny firenena izay tsy nahavonjy anay.

18 Mitsongo-dia anay izy, ka tsy mahazo mandeha eny an-dalambe aza izahay; Akaiky ny fara-fiainanay, tapitra ny andronay, eny, tonga ny fara-fiainanay.
We have hunted [for] our little ones, that they should not walk in our streets. KOPH. Our time has drawn near, our days are fulfilled, our time is come.
19 Ny mpanenjika anay dia haingam-pandeha noho ny voromahery eny amin’ ny lanitra, ka miolomay manenjika anay any an-tendrombohitra ary manotrika anay any an-efitra izy.
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky, they flew on the mountains, in the wilderness they laid wait for us.
20 Ny fofonainay, ilay voahosotr’ i Jehovah, dia efa voafandriky ny longoany, dia ilay nataonay hoe: Ao ambanin’ ny alokalony no hahavelona anay any amin’ ny firenena.
RECHS. The breath of our nostrils, [our] anointed Lord, was taken in their destructive snares, of whom we said, In his shadow we shall live amongst the Gentiles.
21 Mifalia sy miraveravoa ihany ary, ry Edoma zanakavavy, izay monina any amin’ ny tany Oza, ianao koa no horosoana ny kapoaka, ka ho mamo sy hitanjaka ianao.
CHSEN. Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Idumea, that dwell in the land: yet the cup of the Lord shall pass through to you: you shall be drunken, and pour forth.
22 Tsy misy intsony ny helokao, ry Ziona zanakavavy, tsy ho entina ho babo intsony ianao; Hamaly anao Izy, ry Edoma zanakavavy, noho ny helokao ka hampiseho ny fahotanao.
THAU. O daughter of Sion, your iniquity has come to an end; he shall no more carry you captive: he has visited your iniquities, O daughter of Edom; he has discovered your sins.
