Jeremia 16
1 Nimb’amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 Ko mañenga valy, ko misamak’ ana-dahy ndra anak’ampela an-toetse atoy.
“You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
3 Fa hoe t’Iehovà ty amo ana-dahy naho anak’ampela terake ami’ty toetse toio, naho i rene’e nisamake iareo, naho i rae’e nampiareñe iareo an-tane atoiy:
For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting them in this land:
4 T’ie hivetrak’ am-pikoromahañe mahaferenay, tsy eo ty handala, tsy haleveñe, fa hapoke hoe forompotse ambone-tane eo, ho zamane’ ty fibara naho ty saliko; ho hane’ o voron-dikerañeo naho o biby an-tane atoio ty lolo’ iareo.
“They die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.”
5 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Ko iziliha’o ty anjombam-pandalàñe, ko mb’eo hirovetse ndra hañohò; fa nafahako am’ ondaty retoa ty fanintsiñako, hoe t’Iehovà, ty fiferenaiñako naho ty fitretrezako.
For thus said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the mercies.
6 Songa hivetrak’ an-tane atoy ty kede naho ty bey; tsy haleveñe, tsy hirovetañe, tsy handilian-tsandriñe, tsy hañitsifañe;
And great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
7 Tsy hamolahañe mofo ty mpandala, hampanintsiñe aze ty amy raza’ey; tsy hanjotsoañe fitovim-pañohòañe hinoma’e ty aman-drae’e ndra rene’e.
Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
8 Ko imoaha’o ka ze anjomba manao sabadidake, iambesara’o, hikama ndra hinoñe.
You do not enter a house of banqueting, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,”
9 Fa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Toe hajiko an-toetse atoy, añatrefam-pihaino’o eo naho amo andro’oo, ty feon-kafaleañe, naho ty feom-pirebehañe, naho ty fiarañanaña’ i mpañengay vaho ty fiarañanaña’ i engañey.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
10 Aa ie saontsie’o am’ondaty retoa o tsara iaby zao, vaho manao ty hoe ama’o iereo, Akore te zahay ro nitsarà’ Iehovà o hankàñe jabajaba zao? Ino o hakeo’aio? Ino ty tahiñe nanoe’ay amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay?
And it has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
11 Le ty hoe ty havale’o ami’iereo: Amy te nifarien-droae’areo raho hoe t’Iehovà, naho nanjontike mb’aman ‘ndrahare ila’e, nitoroñe iareo naho nitalahoañe, fe nieng’ahy, vaho tsy mañambeñe i Hà-koy.
Then you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and not kept My law,
12 Lombolombo ty nanoen-droae’ areo ty haratiañe nanoe’ areo, songa mañorike ty fanjeharan-tro’e raty, fa tsy mañaoñe ahy.
You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to Me.
13 Aa le hahifike boak’an-tane atoy mb’an-tane tsy nifohi’ areo ndra o rae’ areoo; añe nahareo ro hitoron-drahare ila’e handro an-kaleñe; fe tsy ho soaeko.
And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
14 Rendreho arè, te ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy ho volañeñe ka ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nañakatse o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mitsraime añe,
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
15 Te mone: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nampipoly o ana’ Israeleo boak’ an-tane avaratse añe, naho amo hene tane nandroahako iareoo; Ie hampoliko an-tane’ natoloko an-droae’eo.
But, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
16 Ie amy zay, hampisangitrifeko mpamintañe maro, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho vintañe’iereo; heneke zay le hampañitrifeko mpañoro maro, le ho horoñe’ iereo amy ze hene vohitse naho amy ze fonga tamboho, vaho boak’amo tseran-damilamio.
Behold, I am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
17 Fa amo sata’ iareo iabio o masokoo, tsy mietak’ an-tareheko iereo; mbore tsy mikafitse amo masokoo ty fandilara’ iareo.
For My eyes [are] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before My eyes.
18 Hondroheko indroe hey ty hakeo naho tahi’ iareo; amy t’ie nañota-faly an-taneko; nilipore’ iareo amy lovakoy o faten- draha’e mampangorìñeo vaho o raha tivao.
And I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
19 Ry Iehovà, haozarako naho kijoliko fatratse, toe fipalirako an-tsan-kasotriañe, ama’o ty hañaveloa’ o fifeheañe boak’ añ’olo-ty tane toio hanao ty hoe: Nandova vande avao o rae’aio, raha kafoake, tsy amam-bente’e.
O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
20 Hamboara’ ondaty ‘ndrahare hao ty vata’e, ie tsy andrianañahare?
Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
21 Mahaoniña arè te hampahafohineko ami’ty indraike toy te haboako am’ iereo ty tañako, naho ty haozarako; vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Iehovà ty añarako.
“Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
