Jeremia 31
1 Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho Andrianañahare’ ze hene fifokoa’ Israele iraho, vaho h’ondatiko iereo.
At that time, I will be the God of all Israel's families, and they will be my people, declares the Lord.
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Nitendreke falalàñe am-patrambey añe ondaty nasisa’ i fibaraio, fa naseseko mb’am-pitofa’e mb’eo t’Israele.
This is what the Lord says: The Israelites who survive death by the sword were blessed by the Lord in the desert as they looked for peace and quiet.
3 Niheo amako t’Iehovà boak’ an-tsietoitane añe. nanao ty hoe: Eka, fa nikokoako irehe am-pikokoañe tsy ho modo; izay ty nitaonako azo an-kafatraram-pikokoañe.
Long ago the Lord came and told us, My love for you will last forever. I hold you close to me with my trustworthy love.
4 Hamboareko indraike le ho fonireñe irehe ry somondrara’ Israele; ho tintine’o indraike o kantsà’oo, naho hionjo-mb’an-tsinjake mindre amo mpifaleo.
I'm going to rebuild you, and it will happen. You will be rebuilt, Virgin Israel. You will pick up your tambourines again and run outside to dance with joy.
5 Hambole vahe amo vohi’ i Someroneo indraike nahareo; hitongy o mpitongio, vaho hifale t’ie mahatoly sabo.
You will replant vineyards on Samaria's hills; those who plant and will enjoy the grapes.
6 Ho tondroke ty andro, te ho koihe’ ty mpijilo ambohi’ i Efraime ey, ty hoe: Miavota, antao hionjo mb’e Tsione, mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika mb’eo.
A day is coming when watchmen will call out from the hills of Ephraim, “Come on, let's go up to Zion, to worship the Lord our God!”
7 Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Misabòa an-kafaleañe r’Iakobe, vaho mikoiha añivo o beim-pifeheañeo; Mitaroña, mandrengea, le ano ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, rombaho ondati’oo, i sehanga’ Israeley.
This is what the Lord says: Sing happily for the descendants of Jacob; shout for the greatest of all nations! Let everybody know! Praise and call out, “Lord, save your people, those who are left of Israel!”
8 Oniño t’ie hendeseko boak’an-tane avaratse añe, hatontoko boak’añ’olo’ ty tane toy, rekets’ o goao naho o kepekeo, o savereñe rekets’ ana’eo, vaho o mitsongo fa hisamakeo— valobohòke jabajaba ty himpoly mb’atoy.
Watch, because I will bring them back from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Everyone will return, even the blind and the lame, pregnant women, even mothers giving birth—a great gathering coming home,
9 Ie homb’ atoy an-kololoike, le hiaoloako an-kohò; hampombako mb’añolon-torahañe mikararake mb’eo, an-dalam-bantañe tsy hahatsikapy; amy te rae’ Israele iraho, naho tañoloñoloñako t’i Efraime.
They will come back with tears in their eyes, and they will be praying as I take them home. I will lead them beside streams of waters, on level paths where they won't stumble. For I am Israel's Father; Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Mahajanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry fifeheañeo, vaho tseizo amo tokonose tsietoitaneo ty hoe: I nampivarakaike Israeley ro manontoñe aze, naho mañotroñ’aze manahake ty fañotroña’ ty mpiarake i lia-rai’ey.
Listen, nations, to what the Lord has to say, and let others know about in faraway countries: The Lord who scattered Israel will gather them together and keep them safe, just like a shepherd looks after his flock.
11 Amy te vinili’ Iehovà ty fiai’Iakobe, naho jineba’e am-pità’ i maozatse te ama’ey.
The Lord has redeemed the descendants of Jacob and rescued them from their enemies who had defeated them.
12 Aa le homb’ atoy iereo hisabo an-kaboa’ i Tsione ey, naho hiloeloe ami’ty hasoa’ Iehovà; ami’ty mahakama, naho ami’ty divay naho ami’ty menake, ami’ty tora’ o lia-raike naho mpirai-trokeo; le ho goloboñe soa tondrake ty fiai’ iareo, vaho tsy hinike ka.
They will return and celebrate with happy shouts on Mount Zion; their faces will beam over the Lord's wonderful gifts—the grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the young of their flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden; and they won't ever be depressed again.
13 Ie amy zay, hisalale an-tsinjake ty somondrara, naho hitraok’ ami’ty bey ty ajalahy; ie hafoteko ho hafaleañe ty fioremeña’ iareo, naho hohoñeko, vaho ho limbezeko firebehañe ty fihontofa’ iareo.
The girls will dance in celebration; young men and old people will join in too. I will turn their sorrow into joy, and I will comfort them and change their sadness into happiness.
14 Ho liporeko solike ty arofo’ o mpisoroñeo, vaho hahaeneñe ondatikoo o hasoakoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
I will give my priests everything they need and more, and my people will be more than satisfied with my goodness towards them, declares the Lord.
15 Hoe t’Iehovà: Inay ty fiarañanañañe e Ramà añe, fangololoihañe naho firovetañ’afero, Angoihoie’ i Rakele o amori’eo; tsy mete ohoñen-dre ty amo ana’eo, amy t’ie tsy eo.
This is what the Lord says: The sound of terrible weeping and mourning is heard in Ramah. It's Rachel crying for her children. They are dead, and she can't be comforted
16 Hoe t’Iehovà: Kalaño ty fiarañanaña’o tsy hirovetse, naho o fihaino’oo tsy hitsirike ranomaso; fa ho tambezañe ty fitromaha’o, hoe t’Iehovà; vaho himpoly boak’ an-tane’ i rafelahiy iereo.
This is what the Lord says: Don't cry anymore, don't weep anymore, because you're going to be rewarded for what you've done, declares the Lord. Your children will return from the country of your enemies.
17 Aman-ko tamaeñe o herone’oo, hoe t’Iehovà; le himpoly an-tane’ iareo o ana’ areoo.
So you can have hope for the future, declares the Lord. Your children will return to their own country.
18 Toe tsinanoko ty fikoaiha’ i Efraime: Fa linafa’o, toe finiake hoe dronga tsy folake, ampitoliho iraho le ho tafa-tolike, amy te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
Don't worry, I've heard Ephraim's groans, saying, “You disciplined me really hard as if I was a calf that hadn't been trained. Please bring me back, let me return, for you are the Lord my God.
19 Aa ie nampitolihen-draho le nisoloho, ie nanaren-draho le pinaoko ty feko; nisalatse, eka nimeñatse, amy te tsy nivavèko ty injen-katorako.
When I came back to you I was sorry, and once I understood, I held my head in sadness. I was ashamed and I blushed, embarrassed at what I'd done when I was young.”
20 Anak’isoko hao t’i Efraime? Ajaja nahasinda hao re? Fa beteke mivolañe aze iraho, le vata’e tiahiko; mikoritoke ho aze ty troko, vaho ho tretrezeko, hoe t’Iehovà.
But isn't Ephraim still my precious son, my lovely child? Even though I often have to scold him, I can't forget him. So I'm torn inside with longing, wanting to show how much I care about him! declares the Lord.
21 Añoreño fanoroañe, ampijadoño bodam-pamantarañe; reketo mb’amy damokey ty arofo’o, i lalañe nomba’o mb’eoy; mimpolia ry somondrara’ Israele, mibaliha mb’amo rova’o retoañe.
Put up markers on the road; make signposts for yourselves. You need to be sure you can find the highway, the road you traveled on. Come back, Virgin Israel, come back to your towns.
22 Ampara’ te ombia t’ie hiamboho, ry anak’ampela midisa-volio? Fa namboatse raha vao an-tane atoy t’Iehovà: Ho tsikarikarie’ ty ampela ty lahilahy.
How long are you going to waver in your decision, you unfaithful daughter? For the Lord has made something new happen here: a woman is going to protect a man.
23 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Mbe hindrai’ iareo an-tane’ Iehodà ao naho amo rova’eo, ie hafoteko ty fandrohizañe iareo, ty saontsy manao ty hoe: Hitahy azo t’Iehovà, ry kivohon-kavantañañe, ry vohin-kamasiñañe.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: When I bring them back home from exile, they will say again in the land of Judah and in its towns: “May the Lord bless you, holy mountain of Jerusalem, home of what is good and right.
24 Songa hitrao-pimoneñe ao t’Iehodà, vaho amo rova’eo o mpitongio naho o mpiarake lia-raikeo.
The people of Judah and all its towns will live together in the land, the farmers and those who move around with their flocks,
25 Fa hanjañeko ty fañova mokotse le hampieneñeko ty sandry mitìke.
because I'm going to give rest to those who are tired and give strength to all those who are weak.”
26 Nitsekak’ amy zao iraho le nañente, vaho nimamy amako i firoroakoy.
At this I woke up and looked around. I'd had a very pleasant sleep.
27 Inao! ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho tongiseko ami’ty tabiri’ ondaty naho ami’ty tabirin-kare ty anjomba’ Israele naho Iehodà.
Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make the numbers of people and livestock grow in Israel and Judah.
28 Ie amy zao, hambañe amy nisarieko iareo ho voroteñe naho harotsake vaho ho silofeñey; ty hisarieko iareo hamboareñe naho hamboleñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
I took care of them by uprooting them and tearing them down, by wiping them out and destroying them and bringing them disaster. Now I will take care of them by building them up and helping them grow, declares the Lord.
29 Tsy ho saontsie’ iereo ka amy andro zay te Nikama valoboke mìtsa ty roae, vaho mangitsy ty nife’ o ana’eo.
At that time people won't repeat this proverb, “The fathers ate the unripe grapes, but their children got the sour taste.”
30 F’ie fonga hampihomahe’ o hakeo’eo; ze ondaty mikama valoboke mìtsa, le o famotsi’eo ty hangìtsy.
No. Each person will die because of their own sins. If anyone eats unripe grapes, they will get the sour taste themselves.
31 Inao, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà te hanoeko fañina vao amy anjomba’ Israeley naho i anjomba’ Iehodày;
Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 tsy hanahake i fañina nilahareko an-droae’ iareo tañ’andro nitanako am-pitàñe nañakarako iareo an-tane Mitsraimey; ie nivalik’ amy fañinakoy, ndra t’ie nitañanjomba’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
It won't be like the agreement that I made with their forefathers when I held their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I was faithful like a husband to them, declares the Lord.
33 Fe zao ty fañina hanoeko amy anjomba’ Israeley naho fa modo i andro rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, hapoko añ’ova’ iareo ao ty Hàke le ho sokireko añ’arofo’ iareo ao; naho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho vaho h’ondatiko iereo;
But this is the agreement I'm going to make with the people of Israel at that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws inside them and write them in their minds. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 tsy songa hifañoke ka ondatio naho o rañe’eo ami’ty hoe: Mahafohina Iehovà fa hene hahafohiñe ahy, mifotots’ an-tsitso’e pak’ ami’ty bey hoe t’Iehovà; fa hapoko ty tahi’ iareo le tsy ho tiahiko ka o hakeo’ iareoo.
No one will need to teach a neighbor or their brother, telling them, “You ought to know the Lord.” For everyone will know me, from the smallest to the greatest. I will forgive them when they do wrong, and I will forget about their sins.
35 Hoe t’Iehovà, mpanolotse i àndroy hañazava ty andro, naho o fepè’ i volañey vaho o vasiañeoo ho failo amo haleñeo, i mpitrobo i riakey, hampitroñañe o onjao, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
This is what the Lord says, who provides the sun to give light during the day, who places in order the moon and stars to give light at night, who makes the sea rough so that its waves roar; his name is the Lord Almighty:
36 Naho mienga tsy ho añatrefako i fañè rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hijihetse tsy ho fifeheañe aoloko eo ka ty tiri’ Israele.
Only if I allowed this order to fell apart, declares the Lord, would Israel's descendants stop being my people.
37 Hoe t’Iehovà: Naho lefe zeheñe i likerañey, naho mete tsikaraheñe o mananta’ ty tane toio, izay vaho haitoako ka ze hene tiri’ Israele ty amo fonga sata’ iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
This is what the Lord says: Only if the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth below could be investigated, would I reject all of Israel's descendants because of everything they've done, declares the Lord.
38 Inao te ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te hamboareñe ho a Iehovà i rovay boak’ am-pitalakesañ’abo i Kanànele, pak’ an-dalambein-kotsokey.
The time is coming, declares the Lord, when this city will be rebuilt for the Lord, all the way from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 Mbore ho kozozoteñe mahity mb’an- kaboa’ i Garebe i taly fanjeheañey, vaho hiolake mb’e Goà mb’eo.
The builder's measuring line will again stretch out directly to Gareb Hill and then turn toward Goah.
40 Le havaheñe am’ Iehovà i hene vavatanen-dolo naho lavenokey, naho o teteke iaby pak’ an-toraha’ i Kidroney mb’eo, pak’ an-kotso’ i lalambein-tsoavala mianiñanañeio; ie tsy hombotañe ka, tsy hafetsake ambane nainai’e kitro añ’afe’e.
The entire valley, where the dead are buried and the trash is dumped, and all the fields from the Kidron Valley as far as the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the Lord. Jerusalem will never again be torn down or destroyed.
