Jeremia 13
1 Hoe t’Iehovà amako: Akia, mikaloa sokotry lande, le sadiaño, vaho ko alo’o an-drano.
Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins; but dip it not in water.
2 Aa le nivily sokotry iraho ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, vaho nadiako.
And I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.
3 Nomb’ amako fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,
4 Endeso i sokotry vinili’oy, o an-toha’oo, le miongaha, akia mb’e Perate añe vaho akafiro an-tseran-damilamy ao.
Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 Aa le nimb’ eo iraho nañetak’ aze e Perate ao amy nandilia’ Iehovày.
So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah had commanded me.
6 Ie añe ty andro maro, le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Miongaha, akia mb’e Perate mb’eo vaho rambeso i sokotry nililiako haetak’aoy.
And it came to pass at the end of many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence which I commanded thee to hide there.
7 Aa le nimb’e Perate mb’eo iraho vaho hinaliko naho rinambeko amy nañetahakoy i sokotriy; naheoko t’ie nianto, tsy vara ka.
And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and behold, the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing.
8 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 Hoe t’Iehovà: Hambañe amy zay ty hamongorako ty fiebora’ Iehodà, naho ty firengevoha’ Ierosalaime,
Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 ondaty lo-tsereke retoañe, o mifoneñe tsy hijanjiñe o volakoo, o manjotik’ ami’ty fanjeharan’arofo’eo, naho mañorike ndrahare ila’e hitoroña’e naho hitalahoa’e; aa le hifandrae ami’ty sokotry toy iereo, ie tsy vente’e.
This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and go after other gods, to serve them and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.
11 Fa hambañe ami’ty fidiañañe ty sokotry an-toha’ondaty, ty nampidiañako amako ty anjomba’ Israele iaby, naho ze hene anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà, soa te ho amako iereo, h’ondaty naho tahinañe, naho engeñe, vaho volonahetse; f’ie mihiritsiritse avao.
For as a girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
12 Atovoño am’ iereo o tsara zao: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Songa ho peañen-divay o zonjoñeo. Le ie manao ty hoe iereo: Aa tsy apota’ay hao te sindre hatsafen-divay o zonjoñeo?
And thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every skin shall be filled with wine. And they will say unto thee, Do we not very well know that every skin shall be filled with wine?
13 Le hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo ho liporeko hamamoañe ze hene mpimone’ ty tane toy: o mpanjaka miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davideo, naho o mpisoroñeo, naho o mpitokio, vaho o mpimone’ Israele iabio.
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings that sit for David upon his throne, and the priests and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 Ho ifampidosieko iereo, o roaeo amo ana’eo, hoe’ t’Iehovà; tsy hiheveako, tsy ho tretrezeko, tsy ho ferenaiñeko; te mone ho rotsaheko.
And I will dash them one against another, both the fathers and the sons together, saith Jehovah; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy so as not to destroy them.
15 Mijanjiña naho manolora ravembia, ko mibohaboha; fa nitsara t’Iehovà.
Hear ye, and give ear, be not lifted up; for Jehovah hath spoken.
16 Toloro engeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, aolo’ ty firoña’e ho maieñe, aolo te mitsikapy an-tongoa-vohitse eo o fandia’ areoo, le ie mipay hazavàñe nahareo ro hafote’e ho talinjon-kavilasy, ie hampimoromoroñe’e.
Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight; and ye shall look for light, but he will turn it into the shadow of death, and make [it] gross darkness.
17 Fe naho tsy mañaoñe nahareo, le hiharovetse añ’etake ty troko ty amy firengevohañe zay; higanaganaham-pangololoihañe o masokoo, vaho hikararake o rano-masokoo, amy te nasese an-drohy añe i lia-rai’ Iehovày.
And if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for [your] pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is gone into captivity.
18 Taroño amy mpanjakay naho amy mpanjaka-ampelay ty hoe: Mitoboha ambane, fa nazetse o sabakan’enge’ areo fanjakao.
Say unto the king and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down low; for from your heads shall come down the crown of your magnificence.
19 Migabeñe o rova atimoo, vaho tsy eo ty hanokake iareo; songa nasese am-pandrohizañe t’Iehodà; sindre nendeseñ’ añe an-drohy.
The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open [them]; all Judah is carried away captive: it is wholly carried away captive.
20 Ampiandrao o fihaino’oo, isaho o mb’etoy boak’ avaratse eio; aia i lia-raike natolots’ azoy, i lia-rai’o fanjakay?
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north. Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21 Ino ty hatao’o naho tendre’e ho ambone’ lohà’o o nirañe’o taoloo; o naò’oo? Tsy hamihiñe azo hao ty fikoretañe hoe fitsongoan’ ampela?
What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee, since thou thyself hast trained them to be princes in chief over thee? Shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22 Aa naho atao’o an-tro’o ao ty hoe: Ino ty nifetsaha’ iretoañe amako? Ty habei’ hakeo’o ty nañaloañe i siki’oy, naho ty maha tsi-an-kana o tomi’oo.
And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, [and] thy heels have suffered violence.
23 Mahay mañova ty holi’e hao ty nte-Kose, ndra i hapepoa’ey ty fosa? Aa naho mete izay, le ho lefe’areo mpanao ratio ka ty hanao soa.
Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots? [Then] may ye also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 Aa le hampiboeleko iereo manahake ty karafo ampihelaña’ i tion-dratraratray.
And I will scatter them as stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 Toe toli’o toy, ty nañaranako ama’o, hoe t’Iehovà; amy te nihaliñe’o iraho, vaho niatoa’o ty remborake.
This shall be thy lot, thy measured portion from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and confided in falsehood.
26 Aa le hatsingako ambone’ lahara’o eo o siki’oo hampiboake ty fimeñara’o.
Therefore will I also turn thy skirts over thy face, and thy shame shall be seen.
27 Fa nitreako o hativa’oo: ty fañarapiloa’o, ty fitrem-pitsinginiora’o, ty haleoran-katsimirira’o, amo tamboho an-kivoke eio, nitreako o hativà’oo. Hankàñe ama’o, ry Ierosalaime, ampara’ te ombia t’ie mbe haleotse?
Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy fornication, on the hills, in the fields, — thine abominations, have I seen. Woe unto thee, Jerusalem! Wilt thou not be made clean? after how long a time yet?
