Jeremia 14
1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà ty amy hasalikoañey.
The worde of the Lord that came vnto Ieremiah, concerning the dearth.
2 Mandala t’Iehodà, midegañe o lalam-bei’eo, ie mibotrek’ an-kontoke ty amy taney; vaho mionjoñe ty firoveta’ Ierosalaime.
Iudah hath mourned, and the gates thereof are desolate, they haue bene brought to heauinesse vnto the grounde, and the cry of Ierusalem goeth vp.
3 Nirahe’ o roandriañeo o keleia’eo hitoha rano: ie pok’an-kadaha eo, tsy manjo rano; mimpoly am-binta kapaike, salatse naho daba, misaron-doha,
And their nobles haue sent their inferiours to the water, who came to the welles, and founde no water: they returned with their vessels empty: they were ashamed and confounded, and couered their heads.
4 O taneo mivarakivaraky, tsy niavy an-tane ty orañe, miolitsolitse ty mpiava, misaron-doha.
For the grounde was destroyed, because there was no rayne in the earth: the plowmen were ashamed, and couered their heads.
5 Miterak’ an-kivoke ey ka ty fanaloke, fe aforintse’e, ie tsy aman’ ahetse.
Yea, the hinde also calued in the fielde, and forsooke it, because there was no grasse.
6 Miereñereñe an-kaboan-diolio eñe ty borìke ly, misefosefo hoe fosa; milesa o maso’eo, amy te tsy eo rongoñe.
And the wilde asses did stande in the hygh places, and drew in their winde like dragons their eyes did faile, because there was no grasse.
7 Aa ndra te asisì’ o tahi’aio zahay, ry Iehovà, mitoloña ty amy tahina’oy; toe maro o fidisa-voli’aio, naho anaña’o hakeo.
O Lord, though our iniquities testifie against vs, deale with vs according to thy name: for our rebellions are many, we sinned against thee.
8 Ry fitamà’ Israele, t’i Mpandrombak’ aze an-tsan-kaoreañe, manao akore te ihe ro manao ambahiny an-taneo, manahake ty mpitaveañe mañialo ao te haleñe?
O the hope of Israel, the sauiour thereof in the time of trouble, why art thou as a strager in ye land, as one that passeth by to tary for a night?
9 Mañino irehe ro hoe ondaty daba, hoe fanalolahy tsy maharombake? F’ie añivo’ay irehe, ry Iehovà, vaho kanjieñe ami’ty tahina’o, ko aforintse’o.
Why art thou as a man astonied, and as a strong man that cannot helpe? yet thou, O Lord, art in the middes of vs, and thy Name is called vpon vs: forsake vs not.
10 Hoe t’Iehovà am’ondaty retoañe: Toe nitea’ iereo ty mirererere, tsy kinala’ iareo o fandia’eo; aa le tsy no’ Iehovà, ho tiahi’e henane zao o hakeo’eo, vaho ho lilove’e o tahi’ iareoo.
Thus saith the Lord vnto this people, Thus haue they delited to wander: they haue not refrained their feete, therefore the Lord hath no delight in them: but he will now remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes.
11 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ko ihalalia’o ty hasoa’ ondaty retoa,
Then sayd the Lord vnto me, Thou shalt not pray to do this people good.
12 Ie mililitse, tsy ho tsanoñeko o fitoreo’eo; ie mañenga soroñe naho enga mahakama, tsy ho noko; te mone ho mongoreko am-pibara, naho an-kerè vaho an-kiria.
When they fast, I will not heare their cry, and when they offer burnt offering, and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sworde, and by the famine and by the pestilence.
13 Le hoe iraho: Ee Talè, Iehovà! Inao ty filañona’ o mpitokio: Tsy hizò fibara nahareo, tsy ho tendreke hasalikoañe; fa ho tolorako fierañerañañe tsy modo ami’ty toetse toy.
Then answered I, Ah Lord God, beholde, the prophets say vnto them, Ye shall not see the sworde, neither shall famine come vpon you, but I wil giue you assured peace in this place.
14 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandañitse ami’ty añarako o mpitokio; tsy nahitriko tsy nililiako, tsy nivolañako; itokia’ iareo aroñarom-bande, naho sahàtse, naho raha kafoake, vaho ty famañahian-tro’ iareo avao.
Then the Lord said vnto me, The prophets prophecie lyes in my Name: I haue not sent them, neither did I command them, neither spake I vnto them, but they prophecie vnto you a false vision, and diuination, and vanitie, and deceitfulnes of their owne heart.
15 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: O mpitoky mitoky ami’ty añarakoo: Tsy niraheko, fe hoe ty asa’iareo: Tsy ho an-tane atoy ty vi-lava naho ty kerè. Aa le ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ty higadoña’ i mpitoky rey.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Concerning the prophets that prophecie in my Name, whom I haue not sent, yet they say, Sworde and famine shall not be in this land, by sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
16 Le hahifik’ an-dala’ Ierosalaime ey ondaty itokia’ iareoo, ami’ty mosare naho amy fibaray; le tsy hanam-pandeveñe, ie naho o vali’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo, vaho o anak’ ampela’eo; fa hadoako am’iereo ty haloloa’ iareo.
And the people to whome these prophets doe prophecie, shalbe cast out in the streetes of Ierusalem, because of the famine, and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them, both they, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters: for I wil powre their wickednes vpon them.
17 Le isaontsio o tsara zao: Ehe te hitsiririàhan-drano maso handro an-kaleñe o masokoo; vaho ko ajihetse; amy te dinemo’ ty fanjevoañe ra’elahy i somondrara anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy, ami’ty fere mahatindry.
Therefore thou shalt say this worde vnto them, Let mine eyes drop downe teares night and day without ceasing: for the virgine daughter of my people is destroyed with a great destruction, and with a sore grieuous plague.
18 Izaho mb’an-kivok’ añe: hehe ty zinamam-pibara, ie mimoak’ an-drova ao, ingo ty nanilofen-kerè! mikariokariok’ amy taney o mpitokio naho o mpisoroñeo fa tsy mahafohiñe.
For if I go into the field, behold the slaine with the sworde: and if I enter into the citie, behold them that are sicke for hunger also: moreouer the Prophet also and the Priest go a wandring into a land that they know not.
19 Vata’e nifarie’o hao t’Iehodà? Heje’ ty arofo’o vintañe hao ty Tsione? Ino ty nandafa’o anay ho po-pijanganañe? Ie nandiñe fanintsiñañe fe po hasoa, naho fitsaitsaihañe, te mone hankàñe.
Hast thou vtterly reiected Iudah, or hath thy soule abhorred Zion? why hast thou smitten vs, that we cannot be healed? Wee looked for peace, and there is no good, and for the time of health, and behold trouble.
20 Iantofa’ay ry Iehovà, o halò-tsere’aio, naho o tahin-droae’aio; toe anaña’o hakeo.
We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickednesse and the iniquitie of our fathers: for we haue sinned against thee.
21 Ko malaiñ’anay irehe, ty amy tahina’oy! ko mavoe’o ty fiambesan’enge’o; mahatiahia, ko ivaliha’o i fañina’o ama’aiy!
Doe not abhorre vs: for thy Names sake cast not downe the throne of thy glory: remember and breake not thy couenant with vs.
22 Ahavian’orañe hao o raha tsy jefa’ o kilakila’ndatioo? O likerañeo hao ty mampikojojoake orañe? Tsy Ihe hao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay? Tsy Ihe hao ty fitamà’ay? Toe Ihe ro Mpanao ze he’e zao!
Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles, that can giue raine? or can the heauens giue showres? is it not thou, O Lord our God? therefore we will waite vpon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
