Jeremia 10
1 Inao ty entañe tsarae’ Iehovà ama’ areo ry anjomba’ Israeleo;
Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ko mizatse ami’ty sata’ o fifeheañeo, vaho ko hakahaka’areo o vilon-dikerañeo; ndra te ampifimpìñe’e o kilakila’ ndatio.
Yahweh says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Toe kafoak’ avao o sata’ondatioo; amy te hatae finira añ’ala ao ty fitoloñam-pitàm-pandranjy am-pekoñe.
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
4 Ihamina’ iareo volafoty naho volamena ampireketa’iareo fati-biñe ami’ty ana-bato, tsy hitroetroe.
They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.
5 Hoe bodan-katae najadoñe antetem-bazavo ao, tsy mivolañe, tsy mete tsy tintineñe vaho tsy mahay mitsontike. Ko ihembaña’ areo, fa tsy mete manao raty izay, vaho tsy ama’e ty manao soa.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
6 Tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñ’ Azo r’Iehovà Jabahinake irehe; vaho mitiotiotse an-kaozarañe i tahina’oy.
There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Ia ty tsy hañeveñe ama’o, ry mpanjaka’ o fifeheañeo? Toe mañeva Azo; fa tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo amo hene mahihitse amo fifelehañeo naho amo borizà’iareo iabio.
Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
8 Toe fonga votro mineñe, ie foto-katae ty fañòhan-kafoa’e;
But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
9 Nendeseñe boake Tarsise añe, ty volafoty pinepèke, naho hirik’ Ofaze añe ty volamena, ty satam-pitsene naho satam-pitam-pitolom-bolamena; manga naho malomàvo ty saro’iareo; sata’ o mahimbañeo.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
10 Fe Iehovà ro Andrianañahare to, Ie t’i Andrianañahare veloñe, naho t’i Mpanjaka nainai’e; miezeñezeñe ty tane toy, ami’ty haviñera’e vaho tsy leo’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty fifomboa’e.
But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
11 Hoe ty ho saontsie’o am’ iereo: Ho modo an-tane atoy naho ambanen-dikerañe ao o ‘ndrahare tsy namboatse o likerañeo naho ty tane toio.
“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
12 Ie namboatse ty tane toy amy haozara’ey, Ie nampijadoñe ty voatse toy amy hihi’ey vaho Ie nandafike o likerañeo amy faharofoana’ey;
God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
13 I fiarañanaña’ey le ikoboboahañe o ranon-dikerañeo, naho mampionjoñe ty evoñe añ’olo-ty tane toy; amboara’e ampiñe o orañeo, vaho ampiakare’e an-driha’e ao i tiokey;
When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Songa tembo ondatio, tsy aman-kilala, sindre ampisalareñe ty amo samposampon-draha’eo ty mpitolom-bolamena, remborake o sare natrana’eo, tsy aman-kofòke.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Kafoake irezay, satam-pamerevere; hiambotraha’ ty fandrotsahañe amy androm-pitilihañey.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 Tsy hoe izay t’i Anjara’ Iakobe; Ie ty Mpañoreñe ze he’e, naho kobain-dova’ey t’Israele, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
17 Ahoroño amo taneo ty harao’ areo, ry mpifeake amy arikatokey.
Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Hehe te ho pilereko an-tane atoy henaneo o mpimone’ i taneio, le ho fihineko, haharendreha’ iareo.
For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
19 Hankàñe amako ty fanaintaiñako! Leveleve ty fereko; fe hoe iraho: Toe hasilofeñe toy, tsy mete tsy ifeahako.
Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
20 Rotsake i kivohokoy, tampake iaby o tali’eo; fonga nienga ahy o anakoo, tsy ao; tsy eo ka ty handafike i kibohokoy, naho hampitroatse o efe’eo.
My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
21 Fa votro o mpiarak’añondrio, tsy nañontane Iehovà; aa le tsy miraorao, vaho miparaitak’ añe o añondri’ iareoo.
For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
22 Inao ty talily, Hehe te mb’etoa, ty fikoraham-bey boak’an-tane avaratse añe, hampangotomomoke o rova’ Iehodào, ho fimoneñam-panaloke.
The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 Ry Iehovà, apotako te tsy am’ ondatio ty fombà’e; tsy am’ondaty mpañaveloo ty hanehake o fandia’eo.
Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Endaho iraho, ry Iehovà, le an-katò; tsy ami’ty filoroloroa’o hera hampiminjikio’o.
Yahweh, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Adoaño amo kilakila’ ondaty tsy mahafohiñe Azoo ty haviñera’o, naho amo fifokoa tsy mikanjy i tahina’oio; fa nabotse’ iareo t’Iakobe, eka vinaza’ iareo naho nagedra’ iareo, vaho nampangoakoahe’ iareo i fimoneña’ey.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
