Jeremia 2
1 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Akia mikoiha an-dravembia’ Ierosalaime ao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: tiahiko ty hatea’ i hatora’oy, ty fikokoa’o, ihe nienga-vao; i fireketa’o amako an-dratraratray an-tane mboe tsy nitongisañe añe.
"Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "I remember you, the devotion of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Niavake am’ Iehovà t’Israele, ty lohavoan-kavokara’e; hanan-kakeo ze mampibotseke ama’e, hankàñe ty hizò iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Israel was holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,"' says the LORD."
4 Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry anjomba’ Iakobe, naho ry hene fifokoan’anjomba’ Israele;
Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ino ty tsi-havañonañe nizoe’ o roae’ areoo amako, kanao nihankaña’e, naho nañorike ty tsy jefa’e, vaho nifotsake ho kafoake?
Thus says the LORD, "What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Mbore tsy nanao ty hoe iereo: Aia t’Iehovà nanese antika niakatse an-tane Mitsraime, niranga i fatram-beiy, i tanen-diolio naho koboñey, i tanem-paosa an-talinjon-kavilasiy, tane mb’e lia’e tsy nitsahe ‘ondaty, vaho tsy fimoneña’ ty ana’ ondaty.
Neither did they say, 'Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived?'
7 Nendesako mb’an-tane mamokatse, hikama’ areo ty hasoa’e; fa ie nizilik’ ao te mone tiniva’ areo i tanekoy, vaho vineta’ areo i lovakoy.
I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 Tsy nanao ty hoe o mpisoroñeo: Aia t’Iehovà? Namoea’ o mpamandroñe Hàke iabio iraho, nandilatse ahy o mpiarakeo, nitoky añamy Baale o mpitokio, vaho nañorike raha tsy vara.
The cohanim did not say, 'Where is the LORD?' And those who handle the law did not know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Aa le hiatreatreako, hoe t’Iehovà, vaho hatreatrèko o anan’ana’ areoo.
"Therefore I will yet contend with you," says the LORD, "and I will contend with your children's children.

For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.
11 Tane aia ty nañova o ‘ndrahare’eo, ie toe ‘ndrahare tsie avao? fe nasolo’ ondatiko raha tsy manjofake ty enge’ iareo.
Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
12 Ilatsao ry likerañeo, minevenevèra naho mijehàra, hoe t’Iehovà.
"Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate," says the LORD.

"How can you say, 'I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals'? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
