< 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.
Then said Yahweh unto me, Though Moses and Samuel should stand before me, My soul could not be toward this people, —Send them away from before me And let them go forth.
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.
And it shall come to pass when they say unto thee Whither shall we go? Then shalt, thou say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh—Such as are for death, to death, and Such as are for the sword, to the sword, and Such as are for famine, to the famine, and Such as are for 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.
And I will set in charge over them—four species Declareth Yahweh, The sword to slay, and The dogs to trail along, —and The bird of the heavens and The beast of the earth to devour and to destroy.
4 Le hanoeko fangebahebahañe amy ze fifehea’ ty tane toio, ty amy Menasè, ana’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà, o nanoe’e e Ierosalaimeo.
And I will make them a terror, to all the kingdoms of the earth, —On account of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For what he did in Jerusalem.
5 Ia ty hiferenaiñ’ azo ry Ierosalaime? Ia ty handal’ azo? Ia ty hivike hañontane ty fanintsiña’o?
For who shall have pity upon thee O Jerusalem? And who shall lament for thee? And who shall turn aside, to ask for thy welfare?
6 Fa nifarie’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, toe nidisa-voly; izay ty añitiako ama’o ty tañako, handrotsahako; mahamokotse ahy ty miheve.
Thou, hast abandoned, me, Declareth Yahweh, Backward, thou wilt go, Therefore have I stretched forth my hand against thee and laid thee waste, —I am weary of having compassion.
7 Itsongako an-tsikelo an-dalambei’ i taney; ampandalàko anake, vaho ho mongoreko ondatikoo amy te tsy ambohoa’e o sata’eo.
Therefore have I winnowed them with a winnowing shovel in the gates of the land, —I have bereaved—I have destroyed my people, From their own ways, have they not returned.
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.
Their widows have become multiplied to me, beyond the sand of the seas, I have brought against them—upon the mother of young men—the spoiler in the broad noon, —I have let fall upon her suddenly, excitement and terrors.
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.
Languisheth! she who had given birth to seven, She hath breathed out her life Her sun hath gone in, while yet it was day, She hath turned pale and hath turned red, —And the remnant of them, to the sword, will I deliver before their enemies, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Woe to me! my mother, That thou didst bear me, A man of litigation and a man of contention to all the land, —I have not lent on interest Nor have they lent on interest to me, Every one, hath treated me with contempt.
11 Hoe t’Iehovà: havotsoko ho an-kasoa irehe; hampihalalieko ama’o ty rafelahy an-tsan-kankàñe naho añ’andron-kasotriañe.
Said Yahweh, —Verily, I will loose thee, for good! Verily, I will intercede for thee In the time of calamity, and In the time of distress with the enemy!
12 Mahafolake ty viñe boak’ avaratse hao ty viñe naho ty torisìke?
Shall iron crush the iron from the North and the bronze?
13 Hatoloko ho fikopahañe tsy amam-bili’e ty vara naho fanaña’o, pak’ añ’efe’o iaby ty amo hene’ tahi’oo.
Thy substance and thy treasures—for a prey, will I give, without price, —Even for all thy sins and in all thy bounds:
14 Le hampaneseko o rafelahi’oo mb’ an-tane tsy fohi’o; fa niviañeñe an-doak-oroko ao ty afo hisolebats’ ama’o.
Therefore will I make thee pass, with thine enemies into a land thou knowest not, —For, a fire, hath been kindled in mine anger Upon you, shall it burn.
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.
Thou knowest—O Yahweh Remember me and visit me and avenge me upon my persecutors, Do not of thy longsuffering, take me away, —Know—I have borne for thy sake, reproach.
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.
Thy words, were found, and I did eat them, Then became thy words unto me the joy and gladness of my heart, —For thy Name hath been called upon me, O Yahweh God of hosts!
17 Tsy nitobohako i fivorim-pitohàkey, tsy nirañaraña an-kobaiñe, fa mitobok’ am-bangiñe ao ty amy fità’oy; ie nilifore’o hatorifihañe.
I sat not in the circle of mockers, Nor became I uproarious, —Because of thy hand, by myself did I sit, For with indignation, hadst thou filled me.
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?
Wherefore hath my pain become perpetual? And my wound, incurable? Refuseth to be healed? Wilt thou, indeed be, to me [As a brook] that disappointeth, Waters that cannot be trusted?
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.
Wherefore Thus, saith Yahweh—If thou wouldst return, I will cause thee to return Before me, shalt thou stand, Yea if thou wilt bring out the precious from among the vile, As mine own mouth shalt thou be, —Let them return unto thee, But thou, shalt not return unto 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.
So will I make thee to this people a wall of bronze, fortified, When they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee, —For with thee, am, I, to save thee and to deliver thee, Declareth Yahweh;
21 Havotsoko am-pità’ o lo-tserekeo, naho ho jebañeko an-dela-pità’ ty mampangebahebake.
Thus will I deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, —And redeem thee out of the grasp of the tyrants.
