Jeremia 12
1 Vantan-dRehe, ry Iehovà, ndra te ino ty ho nifandierako, f’ie mbe te hisafiry ama’o: Ino ty mampiraorao ty lala’ o lo-tserekeo? Akore te hene mierañerañe o mikitro-draha ratio.
Righteous art thou, O YHWH, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2 Tinongi’o iereo, eka, le nivahatse; mitombo, le hehe te mamoa; ie marine azo am-palie, fe lavits’azo an-troke.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3 Toe arofoana’o iraho ry Iehovà, mahavazohò ahy, naho mitsoke ty troko ke mb’ama’o; aveveo hoe añondry ho lentàñe iereo, avaho ho amy androm-panjamanañey.
But thou, O YHWH, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Ampara’ te ombia i taney te handala, naho o hatae an-kivoke eio te hiheatse? Fonga nasintak’ añe o bibio naho o voroñeo ami’ty hatsivokara’ o mpimoneñeo, ie manao ty hoe: Tsy ho vazoho’e ty figadoña’ay.
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5 Ihe nitrao-pilay amo mpikovovokeo, le nahamokotse azo, aia ty hifandriadriaha’o amo soavalao? Aa ihe mikorovok’ an-tane manintsiñe, hanoe’o akore te añ’ala-matahetse e Iordane ao?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6 Ndra o rolongo’oo, naho ty anjomban-droae’o, songa namañahy azo ka, sindre nikorak’ ama’o; ko iantofa’o ndra te anoe’e saontsy mora.
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7 Fa naforintseko ty akibako, fa nifarieko i lovakoy; fa natoloko am-pitan-drafelahi’e i kokoan’ aikoy.
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Fa nanjare liona añ’ala ao amako i lovakoy, kanao nañaoloa’e, hejeko.
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 Hoe vorom-banda mpitsatsa amako i lovakoy. Miatreatre añariary aze o vorom-pamaokeo. Akia, fonga atontono o bibin-kivokeo, endeso mb’etoa hamotseke.
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Mpiarake maro ty nampianto i tanem-balobokoy, fa linialia’ iareo i tetekoy, nanoeñe ratraratra i tondako soay.
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Nampangoakoaheñe, Bangiñe! mitoreo aoloko eo; nampibabañoaheñe iaby i taney, amy te tsy haoñe’ ondaty an-troke.
They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12 Fa nivotraham-pampianto ze hene haboañe am-patram-bey añe; amy te mamotseke boak’añ’efe’ i taney añe pak’amy añey ka ty fibara’ Iehovà, fonga tsy aman-kanintsiñe ze atao nofotse.
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of YHWH shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13 Nandrarak’ ampemba iereo, fe nitatake fatike; nifanehake, f’ie tsy miraorao; aa le imeñaro ty havokara’ areo, ty amy haviñera’ Iehovà miforoforoy.
They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of YHWH.
14 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ty amo raty mañohok’ ahio, o mitsapa i lova nampandovaeko ondatiko Israeleio, toe ho voroteko an-tane’ iareo, hombotako am’iereo ty anjomba’ Iehodà.
Thus saith YHWH against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15 Aa ie añe ty nañombotako iareo, le ho tretrezeko indraike; vaho hampoliko, songa mb’an-dova’e, sindre mb’an-tane’e.
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Ie amy zao, naho toe ianara’ iareo ty sata’ ondatikoo, ty hifanta ami’ty añarako: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, hambañe amy nañanara’ iareo ondatiko ty hifanta amy Baale, le haoreñe aivo’ ondatikoo ka iereo.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, YHWH liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17 F’ie naho tsy mañaoñe iereo, le ho voroteko i fifeheañe zay, hombotañe naho harotsake, hoe t’Iehovà.
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith YHWH.
