< Jeremia 15 >
1 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ndra te nijohañe añatrefako eo t’i Mosè naho i Samoele, tsy ho nitolike mb’am’ondaty retoa ty troko soiho añe iereo tsy ho treako, aseseo añe.
The Lord told me: Even if Moses and Samuel were standing before me pleading with me on behalf of these people, I wouldn't feel sorry for them. Send them away from me. Have them leave.
2 Ie amy zao, naho isaontsia’ iareo, ty hoe: Homb’aia zahay? le hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: O havetrakeo mb’am-pivetrahañe, O ho amy fibaraio, mb’amy fibaray, O hampisalikoeñeo le mb’amy mosarey, O ho an-drohio, le mb’am-pandrohizañ’ añe.
If they ask you, “Where shall we go?” tell them that this is what the Lord says: Those to be killed by the plague, to the plague; those to be killed by the sword, to the sword; those to be killed by famine, to famine; and those to be killed in captivity, to captivity.
3 Efatse ty hafantoko am’ iareo: hoe t’Iehovà hanjevoñe ty fibara naho hirepake ty amboa naho hampibotseke naho hamongotse o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio.
I will put four kinds of destroyers in charge of them, declares the Lord: swords to kill, dogs to drag their bodies away, and the birds of prey and wild animals to eat them and destroy them.
4 Le hanoeko fangebahebahañe amy ze fifehea’ ty tane toio, ty amy Menasè, ana’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà, o nanoe’e e Ierosalaimeo.
I will make all the kingdoms of the world horrified by them, because of the evil things Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
5 Ia ty hiferenaiñ’ azo ry Ierosalaime? Ia ty handal’ azo? Ia ty hivike hañontane ty fanintsiña’o?
Who will be sorry for you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask you how you are?
6 Fa nifarie’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, toe nidisa-voly; izay ty añitiako ama’o ty tañako, handrotsahako; mahamokotse ahy ty miheve.
You have deserted me, declares the Lord. You have turned your back on me. So I will take action against you and destroy you; I am tired of showing you mercy.
7 Itsongako an-tsikelo an-dalambei’ i taney; ampandalàko anake, vaho ho mongoreko ondatikoo amy te tsy ambohoa’e o sata’eo.
I will scatter you with a winnowing fork from every town in the country. I will destroy my people and take away their children because they refuse to give up their evil ways.
8 Ho maro te amo fasen-driakeo o ramavoi’iareoo aoloko eo; afetsako am’iereo, ami’ty renen’ ajalahy ty mpampianto an-tsipinde mena; hivovò ama’e ty fihepakepahañe naho ty firevendreveñañe.
There will be more widows than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon and mothers will lose their young sons. They will suddenly experience agony and shock.
9 Miforejeje ty nisamake fito; midegañe ty fiai’e; fa nimotake i andro’ey t’ie mb’e nandia-loha, meñatse re naho salatse; vaho haseseko ami’ty fibara ty sehanga’e añatrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
A mother of seven children will collapse; she will gasp for breath. Her sun will set while it's still daytime; she will be ashamed and humiliated. I will let the enemies kill the rest of them, declares the Lord.
10 Feh’ohatse amako ry reneko, te nahatoly ahy h’ondaty trabiheñe, mpampitrobo i tane iabiy! tsy nampisongo iraho, tsy misongo; fe fonga mamàtse ahy.
How sad I am, my mother, that you gave birth to me! I'm a victim of argument and conflict wherever I go in the country. I have never lent anyone anything, or borrowed anything, but still everyone curses me.
11 Hoe t’Iehovà: havotsoko ho an-kasoa irehe; hampihalalieko ama’o ty rafelahy an-tsan-kankàñe naho añ’andron-kasotriañe.
But the Lord told me: Don't worry, I'm going to take away your problems so you can do good. I will make your enemies plead with you whenever they're in trouble or suffering.
12 Mahafolake ty viñe boak’ avaratse hao ty viñe naho ty torisìke?
Can anyone break iron, iron from the north, or bronze?
13 Hatoloko ho fikopahañe tsy amam-bili’e ty vara naho fanaña’o, pak’ añ’efe’o iaby ty amo hene’ tahi’oo.
I will give away your wealth and valuable possessions for free. They will become plunder for your enemies because of all the sins you committed throughout your country.
14 Le hampaneseko o rafelahi’oo mb’ an-tane tsy fohi’o; fa niviañeñe an-doak-oroko ao ty afo hisolebats’ ama’o.
Then I will have your enemies make you their slaves in an unfamiliar country, because I will so angry it will be like lighting a fire that will burn you up.
15 Ihe ry Iehovà ro maharofoanañe, tiahio iraho vaho aereñereo, vaho valeo o mpanao sarerak’ ahio; ko asese’o mb’eo ty amy fiferenaiña’oy; mahaoniña te Ihe ro nahafeahako inje.
You know what's happening to me, Lord. Please remember me and look after me. Punish my persecutors! Please be patient—don't let me die! You know I put up with criticism because I want to honor you.
16 Nitendreke o tsara’oo vaho nihaneko; le nahafale ahiko toe naharebeke ty troko o tsara’oo; amy te nitokaveñe ami’ty tahina’o, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy.
When I received your messages, I ate them up! What you said made me really happy—I was delighted. I belong to you, Lord God Almighty!
17 Tsy nitobohako i fivorim-pitohàkey, tsy nirañaraña an-kobaiñe, fa mitobok’ am-bangiñe ao ty amy fità’oy; ie nilifore’o hatorifihañe.
I didn't join in with a bunch of jokers as they had fun. I stayed by myself because you have called me, and you have filled me with outrage.
18 Akore te silofeñe nainai’e o rarekoo, ie tsy mitsaitsaike o ferekoo, tsy mete ho melañe? Hanao torahañe mamitak’ amako hao irehe, hoe rano misike?
Why doesn't my pain ever stop? Why is my wound incurable? Why can't it be healed? You've really become like a seasonal stream to me, an unreliable source of water.
19 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Naho himpoly irehe, le ampibaliheko indraike, hijohaña’o añatrefako eo; aa naho akare’o ami’ty kafoake ty vente’e, le ho sorotàko; adono hitoliha’ iareo, fa ko itoliha’o.
So this is what the Lord says: If you come back to me, I will take you back and you will serve me again. If what you talk about are worthwhile subjects and not nonsense, you will be my spokesman, Jeremiah. They must be the ones who follow you; you must not follow them.
20 Le hanoeko kijoly torisìke am’ondaty retoa; hialy ama’o iereo, fa tsy hahagioke, Ho ama’o iraho handrombak’ azo naho hañaha azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Then I will make you a wall to these people, a strong wall of bronze. They will fight against you but they won't defeat you. I am with you to save you and rescue you, declares the Lord.
21 Havotsoko am-pità’ o lo-tserekeo, naho ho jebañeko an-dela-pità’ ty mampangebahebake.
I will liberate you from the power of the wicked, and free you from clutches of the cruel.
