< Jeremia 22 >
1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mizotsoa mb’añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà mb’eo, vaho saontsio eo o entañe zao:
Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
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 Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by 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.
Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood 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 do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
5 F’ie tsy mañaoñe o tsara zao le hifantako am-batako, hoe t’Iehovà, te hangoakoake ty anjomba toy.
But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will become 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 Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 Ampihentseñako mpandrotsake, songa amam-pialiañe; ho firae’ iereo o mendoraveñe soao, vaho havokovoko’ iareo añ’ afo ao.
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into 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?
“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this 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.
Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served 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.
Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
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 Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
12 fa amy tane aneseañ’ aze ho mpirohiy ty hikoromaha’e, vaho tsy ho isa’e ka ty tane toy.
But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
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 builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
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 says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
15 Mahafehe hao irehe kanao mpisenge mendoraveñe? Tsy nikama naho ninoñe hao o rae’o nitoloñe an-katò naho an-kahiti’e vaho nierañerañeo?
“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was 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 judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.
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 only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing 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 Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
19 Ie haleveñe am-pandeveñam-borìke ao ho kozozoteñe vaho havokovoko alafe’ o lalam-bei’ Ierosalaime ao.
He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond 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 out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers 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 spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey 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.
The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded 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.
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
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,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
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.
I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even 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.
I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 Fe i tane salalae’ iereo himpoliañey, tsy himpolia’ iereo ka.
But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
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?
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 O ry tane, ry tane, ry tane! Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word!
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.
Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
