Jeremia 23
1 Hankàñe amo mpiarake manjamañe naho mampibaibay o añondrim-piandrazakoo! hoe t’Iehovà.
Alas for the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture Declareth Yahweh.
2 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele amo mpiarake mamahañe ondatikoo: Fa nampivarakaihe’ areo i lia-raikoy, vaho rinoa’ areo añe; tsy sinari’ areo; aa le hisariako ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the shepherds who are tending my people, —Ye have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and have not visited them, —Behold me! visiting upon you the wickedness of your doings Declareth Yahweh.
3 Le izaho ty hanontoñe ty sehanga’ i lia-raikoy boak’ amo fifeheañe nandroahako iareoo, le hampoliko mb’ an-golobo’e mb’eo; vaho hiraorao vaho hanaranake.
I myself, therefore will gather the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands whither I have driven them, —And will bring them back unto their own fold, And they shall be fruitful and multiply;
4 Le hampitroareko mpiarake hisary iareo naho hamahañe iareo; ie tsy ho hembañe ka, tsy hiroreke, vaho tsy ama’e ty hirereke, hoe t’Iehovà.
And I will raise up over them shepherds who will tend them, —So shall they not be afraid any more, nor be dismayed nor be missing, Declareth Yahweh.
5 Ingo ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, t’ie hampitirieko amy Davide ty tora-mionjo-bantañe, ie ty ho mpanjaka hifeleke naho hiraorao, vaho hizaka amy taney an-katò naho an-kavañonañe.
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will raise up to David A righteous Bud, And he shall reign as king, and prosper, And shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6 Ho rombaheñe amo andro’eo t’Iehodà, vaho hiaiñañoleñañe t’Israele; le zao ty tahina’e hikanjiañe aze: Iehovà Havantaña’ay.
In his days, Shall Judah be saved, And Israel abide securely, —And, this, is his name whereby he shall be called Yahweh, our Righteousness.
7 Aa le ingo ho tondroke ty andro hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy hanoe’ iereo ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nañakatse o ana’ Israeleo boak’ an-tane’ Mitsraime añe;
Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be said any more As Yahweh liveth, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 fe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nañavotse naho niaolo ty tirin’ anjomba’ Israele boak’an-tane avaratse añe, hirik’amo hene fifeheañe nandroahako iareo, le himoneña’ iareo ty tane’iareo.
but—As Yahweh liveth who hath brought up and who hath brought in the seed of the house of Israel out of the land of the North, and out of all the lands whither I have driven them, —And they shall remain upon their own soil.
9 Aa ty amo mpitokio: Rofotse ty troko añ’ovako ao, miripidripike iaby o taolakoo, hoe te ondaty jike, manahake t’indaty nimamoe’ ty divay, ty am’ Iehovà naho o tsara’e masiñeo.
As for the prophets, —Broken is my heart within me Trembled have all my bones, I have become as a drunken man, And as a strong man whom wine hath overcome, —Because of Yahweh, And because of his holy words.
10 Amy te manitsike i taney o mpañakarapiloo; itañia’ i taney i fatsey, mikantañe o fiandrazañe am-patrambeio; mengoke am-pañaveloañe iareo naho vàlañe an-kaozarañe;
For with adulterers, is the land filled, Yea because of cursing, doth the land mourn, Dried up are the oases of the desert, —And, their oppression hath become wicked, And, their might is not right.
11 Tsy aman-Kàke ndra mpitoky ndra mpisoroñe; eka, ndra añ’akibako ao ty nahatreavako ty haloloa’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
For both prophet and priest, are profane, —Even in my house, have I found their wickedness, Declareth Yahweh.
12 Aa le halama o lala’ iareoo, haronje ami’ty haleñe iereo vaho hivarinjonjok’ ao; fa hafetsako am’ iereo ty hankàñe, eka, ty taom-pitilihañe iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Therefore, shall their way become to them like slippery places in darkness, They shall be driven on and shall fall therein, —For I will bring in upon them calamity—The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.
13 Mbore nahatrea hativañe amo mpisoro’ i Someroneo iraho: i Baale ty fitokia’ iareo, mampanan-kakeo Israele ondatikoo.
Even among the prophets of Samaria, had I seen a foolish thing, —They prophesied by Baal, And led astray my people Israel.
14 Toe vata’e haloloañe ty nitreako amo mpitoky e Ierosalaimeo: ie mpañarapilo naho mpañavelo an-dañitse, ampahozare’ iareo ty fità’ o lo-tserekeo, soa tsy eo ty hibalintoa amy hatsivokara’ey; songa hanahake Sedome amako iereo, manahak’ i Amorà o mpimone’eo.
But among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing, —Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have all of them become to me as Sodom, And her inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy ty amo mpitokio: Ingo hifahanako vahontsoy, ampinomeko manahin-afero; fa boak’ amo mpitoki’ Ierosalaimeo ty namelaran-katemboañe nahatsitsike ty tane.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts Concerning the prophets, —Behold me! Feeding them with wormwood, And I will cause them to drink poisoned water, —For from the prophets of Jerusalem, hath there gone forth profanity unto all the land.
16 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ko haoñe’ areo ty lañona’ o mpitoky mitoky ama’ areoo, o mitarik’ anahareo mb’an-koakeo; ty aroñaron-tro’e avao ty saontsie’ iereo f’ie tsy boak’am-palie’ Iehovà.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are prophesying unto you, They are filling you, with vain hopes, —The vision of their own hearts, do they speak, Not from the mouth of Yahweh!
17 Mitolom-panao ty hoe amo malaiñe Ahio iereo: inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hierañerañe nahareo; naho amo manjotik’ am-panjeharan-tro’eo ty hoe: Tsy ho tendrek’ ama’ areo ty hekoheko.
They keep on saying to them who despise me, Yahweh, hath spoken, saying, Prosperity, shall ye have! And to every one who is going on in the stubbornness of his own heart, have they said, There shall come on you, no calamity
18 Fa ia ty nijohañe am-pivori’ Iehovà ao hahaoniñe, hijanjiñe o tsara’eo? Ia ty nañaoñe i nafè’ey, naho nahafitsendreñ’aze?
For who hath stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should see and hear his word? Who hath given ear to his word and heard it?
19 Ingo fa nionjoñe am-piforoforoa’e ty tio-bei’ Iehovà, eka, hiviombio an-doha’ o lo-tserekeo ty tangololahy.
Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, Even a tempest whirling along: On the head of the lawless, shall it hurl itself down.
20 Tsy himpoly ty haviñera’ Iehovà ampara’ t’ie mahaheneke, ampara’ te fonire’e i satrie’ey, ho fohi’ areo do’e izay amo andro honkahonka’eo.
The anger of Yahweh, wilt not return, Until he hath executed nor Until he hath established The purposes of his heart, —In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it perfectly.
21 Tsy nafantoko o mpitoky retoa, f’ie mihitrihitry; tsy nivolañeko, f’ie mitoky avao.
I sent not the prophets yet they, ran, I spake not unto them yet, they, prophesied.
22 Aa naho nijohañ’ ampivoriko ao, le ho nampijanjiñe’ iareo ondatikoo o entakoo, himpolia’iareo boak’amy lalan-kelokelo’iareoy vaho hiambohoa’ iareo o sata’ rati’ iareoo,
But if they had stood in my council, Then might they have announced my words unto my people, And have turned them from their wicked way and from the wickedness of their doings.
23 Andrianañahare atoañe avao hao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, fa tsy Andrianañahare añe ka?
Am I, a God at hand, Demandeth Yahweh, And not a God afar off?
24 Eo hao ty mahafietake am-pipalira’e ao tsy ho treako? hoe t’Iehovà. Tsy manitsike i likerañey naho ty tane toy hao iraho? hoe t’Iehovà.
Can any hide himself in secret places that I, shall not see him? Demandeth Yahweh, —The heavens and the earth, do I not fill? Demandeth Yahweh.
25 Fa tsinanoko ty saontsi’ o mpitoky mpandañitse ami’ty añarakoo, ami’ty hoe: Nañinofy iraho, nañinofy iraho.
I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy in my name falsely, saying, —I have dreamed! I have dreamed!
26 Ampara’ te mb’ia te ho an-tro’ i mpitoky vilañey ty hitokia’e vande, ty hitoky ty famañahian-tro’e avao.
How long shall it be in the heart of the prophets, To be prophets of falsehood, —And prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
27 Fisafiria’ iareo ty hampañaliñoañe ondatikoo ty añarako amo nofi’ iareo ifampisaontsia’ iareoo, manahake ty nandikofa’ o roae’eo ty añarako ty amy Baale.
Who lay a plot to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they relate every man to his neighbour, —Just as their fathers forgat, my name, for Baal.
28 Ty mpitoky mañinofy, apoho hitalily i nofi’ey; le ty manañe i entakoy, soa re te hitaroñe am-pigahiñañe. Inoñ’ ami’ty ampemba hao ty ahetse? hoe t’Iehovà;
The prophet with whom is a dream, Let him relate it as a dream, And he with whom is my word, Let him speak my word as truth, —What is the chaff to the wheat? Demandeth Yahweh:
29 Tsy manahake ty afo hao o volakoo? hoe t’Iehovà; naho hoe ana-bato mampikotekoteke ty lamilamy?
Is not my word, like this, Like fire? Demandeth Yahweh, —And like a hammer, that breaketh in pieces a cliff?
30 Aa le inao! hejeko o mpitokio, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mifampikametse o entakoo.
Therefore! behold me! against the prophets, Declareth Yahweh, —who steal my words, every man from his neighbour:
31 Inao hatreatreko o mpitokio, hoe t’Iehovà ie mañetseke ty famele’e hitoky ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’e.
Behold me! against the prophets, Declareth Yahweh, who presume with their tongue and declare He declareth:
32 Inao! toe hejeko o mitoky nofin-dremborakeo, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mitalily vaho mampandilatse ondatikoo amo vande’eo naho amo fikanifoha’eo; ie tsy niraheko, tsy liniliko; mbore tsy mahasoa ondaty retoa, hoe t’Iehovà.
Behold me! against such as prophesy the dreams of falsehood, Declareth Yahweh, who have related them and led astray my people, with their falsehoods and with their recklessness, —whereas, I, had not sent them nor commanded them, so that they could be of no, profit, to this people, Declareth Yahweh.
33 Aa naho manao ty hoe ama’o ondaty retoa, ndra ty mpitoky, ndra ty mpisoroñe: Ino ty nafè’ Iehovà? le isaontsio ty hoe, Fetse inoñe! Fa ho farieko nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
But when this people or a prophet or a priest shall ask thee saying What is the oracle of Yahweh? Then shalt thou say unto them Ye, yourselves, are the oracle, Therefore will I reject you Declareth Yahweh;
34 Le ty mpitoky ndra mpisoroñe ndra ze ondaty mete hanao ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà; toe ho liloveko rekets’ i anjomba’ey indatiy.
But the prophet, or the priest or the people who shall say—the oracle of Yahweh, I will bring punishment upon that man and upon his house.
35 Fe songa hifanaontsy ty hoe aman-drañe’e naho aman-drahalahi’e: Ino ty navale’ Iehovà? ndra Ino ty nitsarae’ Iehovà?
Thus, shall ye say—every man unto his neighbour and every man unto his brother, —What hath Yahweh, answered? or, What hath Yahweh, spoken?
36 fe tsy ho tiahi’ areo ty nafè’ Iehovà; fa sambe hisaontsy ty enta’e avao ondatio ho fetse, ie nimengohe’ areo ty tsaran’ Añahare veloñe, Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañaharentikañe.
but the oracle of Yahweh, shall ye not mention, any more, —for, every man’s oracle, shall be his own word, because ye have perverted the words of a Living God, Yahweh of hosts our God.
37 Ty hoe ka ty hatao’ areo ami’ty mpitoky: Ino ty natoi’ Iehovà azo? naho Ino ty nitsarae’ Iehovà?
Thus, shalt thou say unto the prophet, —What hath Yahweh, answered thee? or What hath Yahweh, spoken?
38 Fe anoe’areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà; le hoe t’Iehovà: kanao taroñe’ areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà, ie nafantoko ama’ areo ty hoe: Tsy ho saontsie’ areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà;
But, since ye keep on saying, The Oracle of Yahweh, therefore, Thus saith Yahweh, Because ye have said this word, The oracle of Yahweh, whereas I had sent unto you saying, Ye shall not say, The oracle of Yahweh
39 Ingo toe handikofako nahareo, haitoako tsy ho añ’ atrefako eo rekets’ i rova natoloko aman-droae’ areoy;
therefore, behold me! I will lift you up, —and carry you away, and the city which I gave to you and to your fathers from before my face;
40 vaho hapoko ama’ areo ty inje tsy ho modo naho ty hasalarañe kitro katroke tsy ho haliño.
and will give unto you reproach age-abiding, —and disgrace age-abiding, which shall not be forgotten.
