Jeremia 25
1 Ty tsara nimb’ am’ Iirmeà ty amo hene ondati’ Iehodào amy taom-paha’ efa’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty taom-baloha’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele;
This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
2 vaho nitseize’ Iirmeà mpitoky amy ze fonga ondati’ Iehoda naho amy ze hene mpimone’ Ierosalaime, ty hoe:
So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
3 Sikal’ amy taom-paha folo-telo-ambi’ Iosia, ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehodày, ampara’ ty andro toy, i taoñe roapolo telo amby rezay, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, naho nitaroñeko ama’ areo, eka boak’ andro naho beteke te nitaroñe, f’ie tsy nañaoñe.
From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
4 Toe nafanto’ Iehovà ama’ areo i mpitoky mpitoro’e iaby rezay, nañampitso te niraheñe—f’ie nihiritsiritse avao, tsy nanokilan-dravembia hijanjiñe—
Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
5 nanao ty hoe: Songa mimpolia, boak’ ami’ty fitsilea’e raty, naho ami’ty haratia’ o sata’eo, vaho imoneño i tane natolo’ Iehovà anahareo naho aman-droae’ areo, ho nainai’e tsy modo,
The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
6 le ko mañean-drahare ila’e hitoroñañe naho hitalahoañe, le ko mampibosek’ ahy amo satam-pità’ areoo, vaho tsy ho lafaeko.
Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
7 F’ie tsy nañaoñ’ ahy, hoe t’Iehovà; te mone nampiforoforo ahy amo satam-pità’ areoo ho ami’ty fiantoañe.
But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
8 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Amy te tsy midare o volakoo nahareo,
So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
9 le inao te hampañitrifako ze hene fifokoañe avaratse añe naho i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, mpitorokoy vaho hendeseko hiatreatre ty toetse toy naho o mpimoneñe ama’e ao naho o fifeheañe mañohok’ azeo, le hampangoikoihañe ho halatsàñe naho fikosasahañe vaho ho kòake nainai’e.
watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
10 Mbore hajiko tsy ho am’ iereo ty feon-kafaleañe naho ty feom-pirebehañe, ty feom-pañenga-valy naho ty feon-enga-vao, ty feom-batom-pandisañe, naho ty hazavàm-paìlo.
I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
11 Ho koake iaby i taney, naho ho halatsàñe vaho hitoroñe ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele fitompolo taoñe o fifeheañe retoa.
This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Ie heneke i taoñe fitompolo rezay, le ho liloveko ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, naho i fifehea’ey, naho ty tane’ o nte-Kasdio hoe t’Iehovà ty amy hakeo’ iareo; vaho hanoeko fangoakoahañe kitro katroke.
However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
13 Le hafetsako amy taney ze hene volañe tsineiko ama’e, ze sinokitse ami’ty boke toy, ze nitokia’ Iirmeà amo fifeheañe iabio.
I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
14 Fifeheañe maro naho mpanjaka foloay ro hañondevo iareo; vaho havaleko am’iereo o sata’ iareoo naho ty fitoloñam-pità’ iareo.
Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
15 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, amako; Rambeso an-tañako ty fitovin-divaim-pifomboko toy, vaho ampinomo ze hene fifeheañe añirahako azo.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
16 Le hikama iereo vaho hivembèñe mb’atia mb’etia, hoe dagola, ty amy fibara hahitriko am’iereoy.
They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
17 Aa le rinambeko am-pità’ Iehovà i fitoviy vaho songa nampikamaeko o fifeheañe nañiraha’ Iehovà ahio:
I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
18 Ierosalaime naho o rova’ Iehodào naho o mpanjaka’eo naho o roandria’eo, hanoeñe fianto, halatsàñe, fikosihañe, vaho fatse; le fa ie henaneo;
To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
19 i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, naho o mpitoro’eo naho o roandria’eo, vaho ze hene ondati’e;
to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
20 naho ondaty mifamorohotse iabio; o mpanjaka’ i Oze iabio, naho o mpanjaka’ ty tane’ o nte-Pilistìo iabio, naho i Askelone, i Azà, i Ekrone, naho ty sehanga’ i Asdode;
and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
21 i Edome naho i Moabe vaho o ana’ i Amoneo;
to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 o mpanjaka’ i Tsore iabio naho o mpanjaka’ i Tsidone iabio, naho ze hene mpanjaka’ o tokonose alafe’ i riakeio;
to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
23 i Dedane naho i Temà naho i Boze, naho o mañitsike ty olo-maroi’e iabio;
to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
24 o mpanjaka’ i Arabe iabio vaho o mpanjaka o fikokoa-mitraok’ an-dratraratra añe iabio;
to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
25 o mpanjaka’ i Zimry iabio, o mpanjaka’ i Elame iabio naho o mpanjaka’ o nte-Maday iabioo;
to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 o mpanjaka avaratse añe iabio, ty marine naho ty lavitse, ty raike mitraok’ ami’ty ila’e; vaho ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy ambone’ tane atoy; le handimbe finomañe am’ iereo ty mpanjaka’ i Sesake.
to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
27 Le hoe ty ho tseize’o am’ iereo: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Minoma naho mimamoa naho mandoà vaho mikorovoha, amy t’ie tsy hiongake ka ty amy fibara’ hahitriko ama’ areoy.
Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
28 Ie amy zao, naho ifoneña’ iareo tsy handrambe i fitoviy am-pità’o hinoma’e, le hoe ty hanoe’o am’ iereo: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Toe hikama’ areo.
If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
29 Heheke te mamototse minday hankàñe ami’ ty rova tokaveñe ami’ty añarako toy iraho, Hapoke tsy ho liloveñe ka hao nahareo? Toe tsy ho hahàñe amy fandilovañey; amy te ho tokaveko fibara ze kila mpimone’ ty tane toy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
30 Aa le itokio o entañe iaby zao, vaho ano ty hoe: Hirohake boak’andikerañe añe t’Iehovà, naho hipoña-piarañanañañe boak’ añ’ akiba’e miavake ao; hitroña’e i lia-rai’ey; hipazake manahake o mpandia valobokeo amo kila mpimone’ ty tane toio;
Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
31 Inay ty pazake pak’añ’olo’ ty tane toy, fa manan-kabò amo kilakila’ ndatio t’Iehovà, fonga ho zakae’e ze atao nofotse; ty amo lo-tserekeo, fa nitolora’e ami’ty fibara, hoe t’Iehovà.
The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
32 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Hehe te mionjoñe boak’ am-pifeheañe pak’am-pifeheañe añe o haratiañeo, vaho tio-baratse jabajaba ty honjoneñe boak’ an-tsietoitane’ an-tane atoy añe.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
33 Hirik’añ’olo’ty tane toy pak’ añ’ila’ ty tane toy añe o ho zamane’ Iehovào amy andro zay; tsy hirovetañe, tsy hambineñe, tsy haleveñe; fa ho forompotse ambone’ tane eo.
Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
34 Mangolalaiha ry mpiarakeo, naho mangololoiha, vaho milomoloaña an-davenok’ ao, ry lohà’ i mpirai-liay fa tondroke ty androm-pandentañe naho fampiparatsiahañe anahareo, ie hivolentsa manahake ty sini-hara.
Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
35 Ho po-pivoratsahañe o mpiarakeo, tsy eo ty hipitsiha’ o mpiaolo’ i lia-raikeio!
The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
36 Inay ty fikoikoiha’ o mpiarakeo, naho ty fangololoiha’ o mpiaolo’ i lia-raikeio! fa nihotomomohe’ Iehovà ty fiandraza’ iareo.
Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
37 Le hampitsiñeñe o goloboñe nipendreñeo, ty amy haviñera’ Iehovày.
The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
38 Niavote’e manahake ty liona i fipalira’ey; fa kòake ty tane’ iareo ty amy hasiaha’ i fibara nampisoañey, naho ty amy fiforoforoan-kaviñera’ey.
The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
