Jeremia 16

1 Nimb’amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:

The word of Jehovah came also to me, saying,

2 Ko mañenga valy, ko misamak’ ana-dahy ndra anak’ampela an-toetse atoy.

"You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or 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 says Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father 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 shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals 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 says Jehovah, 'Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Jehovah, even loving kindness and tender mercies.

6 Songa hivetrak’ an-tane atoy ty kede naho ty bey; tsy haleveñe, tsy hirovetañe, tsy handilian-tsandriñe, tsy hañitsifañe;

Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves 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.

neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

8 Ko imoaha’o ka ze anjomba manao sabadidake, iambesara’o, hikama ndra hinoñe.

You shall not go into the house of feasting 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 says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the 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?

It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, 'Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?'

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 shall tell them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have 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.

and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, look, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not 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.

therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'

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 look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that it shall no more be said, 'As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children 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, 'As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' I will bring them again into 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.

Look, I will send for many fishermen," says Jehovah, "and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts 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 are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from 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.

First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations."

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.

"Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the farthest parts of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.

20 Hamboara’ ondaty ‘ndrahare hao ty vata’e, ie tsy andrianañahare?

Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are 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 look, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
