Jeremia 3
1 Saontsieñe te, ie mitsey valy t’indaty naho mifanarak’ ama’e i rakembay, naho engae’ t’indaty ila’e, ho mete hao te himpolie’e i valoha’ey? Tsy haniva i taney hao? F’ihe nanao hakarapiloañe ami’ty mpikoko maro, mbore te himpoly amako! hoe t’Iehovà.
He hath said, If a man send away his wife, and she go from him and become another man’s, will he return unto her, again? would not that land be, utterly defiled? And, thou, hast been unchaste with many neighbours, and yet [thinkest] to return unto me! Declareth Yahweh.
2 Ampiandrao mb’an-kaboañe liolio ey o fihaino’oo le mahaisaha: Aia irehe te tsy niolorañe? Nitoboke añ’olon-dalañe eo nitsinginiotse am’iareo, manahake ty Arabe am-babangoañe añe; vaho nandeora’o amy hatsimirira’o naho ami’ty haloloa’o i taney.
Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights and see—where thou hast not been unchastely embraced! beside the ways, hast thou sat to them, like the Arabian in the desert, —and hast defiled the land with thine unchastities, and with thy wickedness.
3 Toly ndra nahànkañe i orañey, naho tsy nahavy ora-mamaratse; toe nanao laharan-kalalijake irehe, mifoneñe tsy ho salatse.
Therefore have been withholden the showers, And, the latter rain, hath not come, —Yet the forehead of an unchaste woman, hast thou, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
4 Aa tsy nitoreova’o aniany ami’ty hoe: Ry Aba, Nirañeko irehe te izaho nitora’e.
Hast thou not from this time, cried unto me, My father! the friend of my youth, art, thou?
5 Ho tana’e nainai’e hao ty kabo’e? ifahara’e pak’an-kamodoañe añe hao? Inay ty saontsi’o, fe nitoloñe’o raha raty vaho i nipaia’oy avao ty norihe’o.
Will he maintain his anger to times age-abiding? Will he keep it perpetually? Lo! thou hast spoken thus but hast done wicked things and had thy way!
6 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako tañ’andro Iosià, mpanjaka: Niisa’o hao i nanoe’ Israele mpidisa-voliy? Songa vinonje’e ze vohitse abo naho ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake, vaho nanao hakarapiloañe ao.
And Yahweh said unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what apostate Israel, did? She used to go upon every high mountain and beneath every green tree, and commit unchastity there.
7 Le hoe iraho, Ie fonga nanoe’e, le himpoly amako; f’ie tsy nimpoly, vaho nahatrea izay ka t’Iehodà rahavave’e mpahay fañahy.
And I said, after she had been doing all these things, Unto me, shall thou return? and she returned not, —and her treacherous sister Judah saw it!
8 Le nitreako te ndra t’ie tsineiko reke-takelam-pisarahañe ty amo fonga fañarapiloa’ Israele mpidisa-volio, le tsy nañembañe Iehodà, rahavave’e mpiolay izay; ie nimb’eo nañarapilo ka.
Though she saw that for all this, apostate Israel having committed adultery, I had sent her away, and had given a scroll of divorcement unto her, yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but, she also, went and committed unchastity.
9 Ty amy fitsihelatsihela’ i reñeley, fonga nileore’e i taney, vaho niolora’e ze hatae naho vato;
Yea though it had come to pass that through the levity of her unchastity, she had defiled the land, —and committed adultery with Stone and with Tree,
10 Ie amy zay, mboe tsy nimpoly amako ami’ty haliforan’arofo’e i rahavave’e Iehodà mpamañahiy fa an-kalitake avao, hoe t’Iehovà—
yet, in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah returned not unto me, with all her heart, —but, falsely, Declareth Yahweh.
11 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Niventè’ Israele mpidisa-voliy te mbe ambone’ Iehodà mpamañahiy ty havañona’e.
Then said Yahweh unto me, —Apostate Israel, hath justified herself, —more than treacherous Judah.
12 Akia, tseizo mañavaratse o tsara zao ami’ty hoe: Mimpolia ry Israele mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy hibosehako, fa hitretrezako, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho tanako nainai’e ty farahiko.
Go, and proclaim these words, towards the North and say—Return! thou apostate—Israel, Urgeth Yahweh, I will not lower my face against you, —for full of lovingkindness, I am, Declareth Yahweh, I will not maintain [mine anger] unto times age-abiding.
13 Iantofo avao o hakeo’oo, o nandilara’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo, ie naboele’o amy ze hene ambahiny ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake o sata’o, naho tsy nihaoñe’o ty feoko, hoe t’Iehovà.
Only, acknowledge thine iniquity, that against Yahweh thy God, hast thou transgressed, —and hast gone hither and thither unto foreigners under every green tree, and unto my voice, ye have not hearkened Declareth Yahweh.
14 Mimpolia ry anake mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; fa Tañanjomba’areo iraho, naho hengaeko boak’an-drova ao ty raik’ ama’ areo, ty roe boak’ am-pifokoañ’ ao, vaho haseseko mb’e Tsione mb’eo;
Return, ye apostate sons, Urgeth Yahweh, for, I, am become your husband, —therefore will I take you one of a city, and two of a family, and will bring you to Zion;
15 Le ho tolorako mpiarake milahatse ami’ty troko, hamahana’e hilala naho hihitse.
and will give you shepherds according to mine own heart, —who will feed you with knowledge and discretion.
16 Ho tondroke t’ie nanaranake vaho nanitsike i taney amo andro añeo, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy hanao ty hoe ka iereo: Ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà; tsy ho tendreke an-tsaiñe; tsy ho saontsieñe; tsy ho tiliheñe; vaho tsy hanoeñe ka.
And it shall come to pass when ye shall be multiplied and become fruitful in the land, in those days, Declareth Yahweh, They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Neither shall it come up on the heart, Neither shall they remember it, Neither shall they miss it, Neither shall it be made any more.
17 Amy andro zay, hatao’ iareo ty hoe fiambesa’ Iehovà t’Ierosalaime; le kila fifeheañe ty hifanontone mb’amy tahina’ Iehovày mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; vaho tsy hañaveloa’ iareo ka i fanjeharan-tron-kaloloañey.
At that time, shall they call Jerusalem, The throne of Yahweh, and there shall be gathered unto her all the nations—to the Name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem; and they shall walk no more after the stubbornness of their own wicked heart.
18 Hiharo-lia ami’ty anjomba’ Israele ty anjomba’ Iehodà amy andro zay, vaho hindre lia boak’ an-tane avaratse añe pak’ amy tane natoloko an-droae’ areo ho lovay.
In those days, shall the house of Judah go unto the house of Israel, —that they may enter together out of the land of the North, upon the land which I gave as an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 Le hoe iraho: Akore t’ie havotrako amo anakoo, naho hatoloko tane soa, ty lova loho fanjaka amo fifeheañeo? Le ho tokave’oo ty hoe: Raeko, iraho, vaho tsy hivike ami’ty fañorihañe ahy.
Though, I myself, had said, —How can I put thee among the sons, And give thee a land to be coveted, An inheritance of beauty, of the hosts of nations? Yet I said, My father, shalt thou call me, And away from me, shalt thou not turn.
20 Toe manahake ty rakemba misita-baly am-pamañahiañe ty namañahia’o ahy, ry anjomba’ Israele! hoe t’Iehovà.
But indeed [as] a wife goeth treacherously from her husband, so, have ye acted treacherously with me, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh.
21 Inay ty fiarañanañañe boak’ an-kaboañe maliolio eñe, ty fangoihoia’ o ana’ Israele misolohoo, amy te nimengohe’ iereo ty lala’ iareoy, nandikofa’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo:
A voice on the bare heights, is heard, The weeping of the supplications of the sons of Israel, —Because they have perverted their way, Have forgotten Yahweh their God.
22 Mimpolia ry anake manjehatseo, le ho jangañeko ty fanjehara’ areo. Itoan-jahay mb’ama’o, amy te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.
Return ye apostate sons, I will heal your apostasies! Behold us! we have come unto thee, For thou, art Yahweh our God.
23 Toe sahàtse avao o vohitseo, o fifandragaragàñe an-kaboañeo. Toe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahe’ay ty fandrombahañe Israele.
Surely, to falsehood, pertain the hills The noisy throng on the mountains, —Surely, in Yahweh our God, is the salvation of Israel!
24 Fa nabea’ i hameñarañey mifototse ami’ty nahatora anay o raha nitoloñan-droae’aio, o lia-rai’eo, o mpirai-tro’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo vaho o anak’ampela’eo.
But, the Shameful thing, hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth: Their flocks, and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 Antao hibabok’ an-keñatse, hisaron-tsalatse; fa nanao hakeo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika tika naho o raentikañeo, boak’ ami’ty naha-ajaja antika pake henane, vaho tsy norihentika ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
We must lie down in our shame And our reproach, be our covering, For, against Yahweh our God, have we sinned, We and our fathers, from our youth even until this day, —Neither have we hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
