Jeremia 10
1 Inao ty entañe tsarae’ Iehovà ama’ areo ry anjomba’ Israeleo;
Hear ye the word, O house of Israel, That Jehovah hath spoken for you.
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.
Thus said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations accustom not yourselves, And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted, For the nations are affrighted by them.
3 Toe kafoak’ avao o sata’ondatioo; amy te hatae finira añ’ala ao ty fitoloñam-pitàm-pandranjy am-pekoñe.
For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,
4 Ihamina’ iareo volafoty naho volamena ampireketa’iareo fati-biñe ami’ty ana-bato, tsy hitroetroe.
With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble.
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.
As a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them.
6 Tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñ’ Azo r’Iehovà Jabahinake irehe; vaho mitiotiotse an-kaozarañe i tahina’oy.
Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great [art] Thou, and great Thy name 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 doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee.
8 Toe fonga votro mineñe, ie foto-katae ty fañòhan-kafoa’e;
And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
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.
Spread-out silver from Tarshish is brought, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Blue and purple [is] their clothing, Work of the skilful — all of them.
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.
And Jehovah [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not 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.
Thus do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under these 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;
The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth 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;
At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.
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.
Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image. And there is no breath in them.
15 Kafoake irezay, satam-pamerevere; hiambotraha’ ty fandrotsahañe amy androm-pitilihañey.
Vanity [are] they, work of erring ones, In the time of their inspection they 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.
Not like these [is] the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things [is] He, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
17 Ahoroño amo taneo ty harao’ areo, ry mpifeake amy arikatokey.
Gather from the land thy merchandise, O dweller in the bulwark,
18 Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Hehe te ho pilereko an-tane atoy henaneo o mpimone’ i taneio, le ho fihineko, haharendreha’ iareo.
For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.
19 Hankàñe amako ty fanaintaiñako! Leveleve ty fereko; fe hoe iraho: Toe hasilofeñe toy, tsy mete tsy ifeahako.
Woe to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting, And I said, Only, this [is] my sickness, and I 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 hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising 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 Jehovah they have not sought, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
22 Inao ty talily, Hehe te mb’etoa, ty fikoraham-bey boak’an-tane avaratse añe, hampangotomomoke o rova’ Iehodào, ho fimoneñam-panaloke.
A voice of a report, lo, it hath come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
23 Ry Iehovà, apotako te tsy am’ ondatio ty fombà’e; tsy am’ondaty mpañaveloo ty hanehake o fandia’eo.
I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.
24 Endaho iraho, ry Iehovà, le an-katò; tsy ami’ty filoroloroa’o hera hampiminjikio’o.
Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make me small.
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 Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee, And on the families that have not called in Thy name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Yea, they have eaten him up, yea, they consume him, And his habitation they have made desolate!
