< Jeremia 22 >

1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mizotsoa mb’añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà mb’eo, vaho saontsio eo o entañe zao:
Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
2 ami’ty hoe: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpanjaka’ Iehodà miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davide, ihe naho o mpitoro’oo vaho ondati’o mimoak’ an-dalam-bey retoañe.
Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
3 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ano ty hatò naho ty havantañañe, naho avotsoro am-pità’ o mpamorekekeo o nikamerañeo, naho ko isengea’o hery, ko mijoy ty renetane, ndra ty bode-rae, ndra ty vantotse, vaho ko mampiori-dio-màliñe an-toetse atoy.
Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
4 Aa naho toe anoe’ areo i tsarae­ñey, le himoak’ amo lalambei’ ty anjomba toio o mpanjaka hiambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davideo, hiningitse sarete naho soavala, ie naho o mpitoro’eo naho ondati’eo.
For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
5 F’ie tsy mañaoñe o tsara zao le hifantako am-batako, hoe t’Iehovà, te hangoakoake ty anjomba toy.
And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
6 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy anjomba’ i mpanjaka’ Iehodày: Gilade amako irehe, ty andengo’ i Libanone; f’ie toe hanoeko fatrañe, rova tsy amam-pimoneñe.
For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
7 Ampihentseñako mpandrotsake, songa amam-pialiañe; ho firae’ iereo o mendoraveñe soao, vaho havokovoko’ iareo añ’ afo ao.
And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
8 Fifeheañe maro ty hiary ami’ty rova toy, naho hifanao aman-drañe’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore o nanoe’ Iehovà ty rova jabajaba toio?
And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
9 Le hanoiñe ty hoe iereo: Amy t’ie nifary ty fañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, niambane aman-drahare ila’e, nitoroñe iareo.
And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
10 Ko roveta’ areo ty mikoromake, ko mangololoike ho aze; fe poñafo ty hoihoy i misesey, amy te tsy himpoly ka, tsy ho isa’e ka i tane nihirifa’ey.
You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
11 Fa hoe t’Iehovà ty amy Salome ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, i nandimbe an-drae’e Iosiay, i nionjoñe boak’ ami’ty toetse toiy: t’ie tsy himpoly atoy ka;
For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
12 fa amy tane aneseañ’ aze ho mpirohiy ty hikoromaha’e, vaho tsy ho isa’e ka ty tane toy.
For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
13 Hankàñe t’indaty mandranjy ty anjomba’e tsy an-kavantañañe, naho o efe’eo tsy an-katò, mampitolom-pitoroñe tsy an-tambe, vaho tsy atolo’e aze o karama’eo;
Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
14 I manao ty hoe, hatratrañako ty trañoko naho ampalalàheko o efe’eo; le anampaha’e lalan-kedekede, naho temere’e mendoraveñe o rindri’eo, vaho lokoe’e mena mañabasà.
Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
15 Mahafehe hao irehe kanao mpisenge mendoraveñe? Tsy nikama naho ninoñe hao o rae’o nitoloñe an-katò naho an-kahiti’e vaho nierañerañeo?
Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
16 Nitaroñe’e ty enta’ o rarakeo naho o poi’eo; nisoa henane zay. Tsy izay hao ty faharendrehañe ahy? hoe t’Iehovà.
He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
17 Toe ami’ty fihàña’o avao o fihaino’oo naho ty arofo’o, naho ami’ty fampiorihan-dio-màliñe naho famorekekeañe vaho fikatramoañe.
“But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
18 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ty am’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà: tsy hirovetañe ty hoe: Hoihoy ty rahalahiko, Hoihoy ty rahavave! Tsy hangololoiha’iareo ty hoe: Aa! ry talè, ndra, Aa! ty enge’e!
Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
19 Ie haleveñe am-pandeveñam-borìke ao ho kozozoteñe vaho havokovoko alafe’ o lalam-bei’ Ierosalaime ao.
He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Mionjona mb’e Libanone naho mikoiakoiaha, poñafo e Basane añe ty fiarañanaña’o; vaho mangololoiha e Abarime añe fa fonga demoke o sakeza’oo.
Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
21 Nivolañe ama’o iraho ami’ty firaoraoa’o fa hoe irehe, Izaho tsy hitsanoñe, sata’o tamy naha ajalahy azoy ty tsy nañaoñe ty feoko.
I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
22 Ho faopaohe’ i tiokey ze mpiara’o iaby, le homb’ ampandrohizañe añe o sakeza’oo; vaho ho meñare’o naho salare’o ze fonga haratia’o.
Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
23 Ry mpimoneñe e Libanone ao, mpikafitse amo mendorave’eo, akore ty fatariha’o naho mivovo ama’o o fikoritahañe manahake ty fitsongoan’ ampela.
O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
24 Kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà, Ndra te nibangem-pitombok’ an- tañan-kavanako eo t’i Koniaho ana’ Iehoiakime, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, le ho nasintako amako,
“[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
25 vaho ho natoloko am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’oo, eka! am-pità’ o ihembaña’oo, toe am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, vaho am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio.
And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Le hahifiko mb’an-tane tsy nisamaha’o añe, ihe naho ty rene’o nahatoly azo; le añe ty hihomaha’o.
And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
27 Fe i tane salalae’ iereo himpoliañey, tsy himpolia’ iereo ka.
And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
28 Ondaty sirikaeñe hao ty Koniaho, sinihara jeñake? Karabiba tsy paiañe? Akore te nariañe añe, ie naho o amori’eo, mb’an-tane tsy fohi’ iareo?
A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
29 O ry tane, ry tane, ry tane! Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
30 Hoe t’Iehovà: Sokiro tsy ho aman’anake t’indaty tia, ondaty tsy hiraorao añ’andro’e; amy t’ie tsy ho aman-dahilahy o tiri’eo ze hierañe am-piambesa’e, am-piambesa’ i Davide eo, ndra hifehe e Iehodà ao.
Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
