Jeremia 31
1 Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho Andrianañahare’ ze hene fifokoa’ Israele iraho, vaho h’ondatiko iereo.
At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God for all the families of Israel, and they shall be unto me for a people.
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Nitendreke falalàñe am-patrambey añe ondaty nasisa’ i fibaraio, fa naseseko mb’am-pitofa’e mb’eo t’Israele.
Thus hath said the Lord, The people of those that are escaped of the sword found grace in the wilderness, —even Israel, when it went to find rest.
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.
“From afar is the Lord appeared unto me,” [saying, ] Yea, with an everlasting love have I loved thee; therefore have I guided thee with loving-kindness.
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.
Yet again will I build thee up, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: yet again shalt thou adorn thy timbrels, and go forth in the dances of those that make merry.
5 Hambole vahe amo vohi’ i Someroneo indraike nahareo; hitongy o mpitongio, vaho hifale t’ie mahatoly sabo.
Yet again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall redeem the fruit.
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.
For there cometh a day, that the watchers call out upon the mountain of Ephraim, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto 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.
For thus hath said the Lord, Sing for Jacob with joy, and shout at the head of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, The Lord hath helped thy people, the remnant 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.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and I will gather them from the farthest ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she that travaileth with child together: a great assembly shall they return hither.
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.
With weeping shall they come, and with supplications will I bring them in: I will lead them by brooks of water in a straight way, whereon they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
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.
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and tell it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattereth Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.
11 Amy te vinili’ Iehovà ty fiai’Iakobe, naho jineba’e am-pità’ i maozatse te ama’ey.
For the Lord hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him out of the hand of one stronger than he.
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.
And they shall come and sing on the height of Zion, and shall come together as a stream to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flocks and of the herds, and their soul shall be as a well-watered garden; and they shall not farther experience grief any more.
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.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and youth and old men together: and I will change their mourning into gladness, and I will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Ho liporeko solike ty arofo’ o mpisoroñeo, vaho hahaeneñe ondatikoo o hasoakoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith 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.
Thus hath said the Lord, A voice is heard in Ramah, groaning, weeping, and bitter lamentation; Rachel is weeping for her children: she refuseth to be comforted for her children because they are not [here].
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord, and they shall return from the land of the enemy.
17 Aman-ko tamaeñe o herone’oo, hoe t’Iehovà; le himpoly an-tane’ iareo o ana’ areoo.
And there is hope for [thee in] thy future, saith the Lord, and thy children shall return to their own borders.
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.
I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, “Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untamed calf; cause me to return, and I will return; for thou art 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.
Surely after my returning, I repent; and after I am made conscious [by punishment], I smite upon my thigh: I am ashamed, yea, I am confounded, because I bear the disgrace of my youth.”
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.
Is not Ephraim a dear son unto me? or a child that I dandle? for whenever I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him again: therefore are my inward parts moved for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith 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.
Set thyself up waymarks, place thyself pillars; direct thy heart toward the highway, the way which thou didst go: return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.
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 wilt thou roam about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing on the earth, The woman will go about [seeking for] the husband.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they say this word in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I will bring back again their captivity, —May the Lord bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O holy mountain.
24 Songa hitrao-pimoneñe ao t’Iehodà, vaho amo rova’eo o mpitongio naho o mpiarake lia-raikeo.
And there shall dwell therein Judah, and in all his cities together, husbandmen, and they that move about with the flocks.
25 Fa hanjañeko ty fañova mokotse le hampieneñeko ty sandry mitìke.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every grieving soul have I gratified.
26 Nitsekak’ amy zao iraho le nañente, vaho nimamy amako i firoroakoy.
For this did I awake, and looked about, and my sleep was sweet unto me.
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.
Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man; and with the seed of cattle.
28 Ie amy zao, hambañe amy nisarieko iareo ho voroteñe naho harotsake vaho ho silofeñey; ty hisarieko iareo hamboareñe naho hamboleñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
And it shall come to pass, that just as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to do harm: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant, saith the Lord.
29 Tsy ho saontsie’ iereo ka amy andro zay te Nikama valoboke mìtsa ty roae, vaho mangitsy ty nife’ o ana’eo.
In those days shall they not say any more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge;
30 F’ie fonga hampihomahe’ o hakeo’eo; ze ondaty mikama valoboke mìtsa, le o famotsi’eo ty hangìtsy.
But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grapes—his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Inao, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà te hanoeko fañina vao amy anjomba’ Israeley naho i anjomba’ Iehodày;
Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant;
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.
Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day that I took hold of them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they have broken, although I was become their husband, saith 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 covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, I place my law in their inward parts, and upon their heart will I write it; and I will be unto them for a God, and they shall be unto me for a 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.
And they shall not teach any more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they all shall know me, from the least of them even unto their greatest, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I not remember any more.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, who bestoweth the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea that its waves roar—The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 Naho mienga tsy ho añatrefako i fañè rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hijihetse tsy ho fifeheañe aoloko eo ka ty tiri’ Israele.
If these ordinances ever depart from before me, saith the Lord, then also shall the seed of Israel cease from being a nation before me during all time.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, If the heavens can be measured above, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath: then also will I reject all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith 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.
Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built up to the Lord from the tower of Chananel unto the corner-gate.
39 Mbore ho kozozoteñe mahity mb’an- kaboa’ i Garebe i taly fanjeheañey, vaho hiolake mb’e Goà mb’eo.
And the measuring-line shall yet again go forth opposite it over the hill Gareb, and shall take a turn to Go'ath.
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.
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all fields as far as the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more to eternity.
