Jeremia 5
1 Mikariokarioha amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo, mijilojilova vaho mahaoniña! Tsikaraho o kiririsa’eo ke hahaisake ondaty manao ty hahiti’e, mipay ty hatò— le hiheveako.
Run to and from by the streetes of Ierusalem, and beholde nowe, and knowe, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can finde a man, or if there be any that executeth iudgement, and seeketh the trueth, and I will spare it.
2 Ndra te manao ty hoe, Amy te veloñe t’Iehovà; manao fanta vilañe re.
For though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare falsely.
3 Ry Iehovà, tsy mitsoeke ty hatò hao o fihaino’oo? Linafa’o iereo f’ie tsy nalorè; nimongore’o fe tsy mete avohotse; nanoe’ iareo gañe ta ty vato o tarehe’ iareoo; mifoneñe tsy hisoloho.
O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? thou hast striken them, but they haue not sorowed: thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a stone, and haue refused to returne.
4 Le hoe iraho, rarake avao iereo, gege; tsy fohi’ iareo ty lala’ Iehovà, o lilin’ Andrianañahare’ iareoo.
Therefore I saide, Surely they are poore, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their God.
5 Homb’amo roandriañeo arè iraho, tsy mete tsy rendre’ iereo o sata’ Iehovào, o lilin’ Andrianañahare’ iareoo. F’ie songa nampipozake i jokay, nandrafarafake o talirandrañeo.
I will get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them: for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes.
6 Toly ndra hampibaibay iareo o liona boak’ añ’alao, hanjaman’ iareo ty maràmbolo boak’ an-dratraratra ao. Mijilojilo o rova’eo ty farasi-lahi’e; ie mandrimidrimitse ze miakatse —amy ty hamaro’ o fiolà’ iareoo, fa losotse ty fidisa-voli’ iareo.
Wherefore a lyon out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the wildernesse shall destroy them: a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence, shall be torne in pieces, because their trespasses are many, and their rebellions are increased.
7 Aa vaho akore ty hiheveako azo? Fa nieng’ahy o ana’oo naho nifanta amo ndrahare tsie’eo; ie nampianjañeko, le nañarapilo, vaho nikovovoke mb’añ’ akiban-tsimiriram-beo.
Howe should I spare thee for this? thy children haue forsaken me, and sworne by them that are no gods: though I fed them to the full, yet they committed adulterie, and assembled them selues by companies in the harlots houses.
8 Soavala lahi’e mpilelalela iereo, songa mitreñe amy tañanjomban-drañe’ey.
They rose vp in the morning like fed horses: for euery man neyed after his neighbours wife.
9 Tsy ho lafaeko hao? Hoe t’Iehovà; tsy hondroheko hao ty fifeheañe manahake zao?
Shall I not visite for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
10 Soroho o tondam-bahe’eo le fongoro, fe anisao; holiro o tsampa’eo amy te tsy a’ Iehovà.
Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.
11 Toe songa nitsambolitiok’ ahy ty anjomba’ Israele naho ty anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà;
For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.
12 nanoe’e entam-bande t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Tsy Ie; tsy hiambotraha’ ty raty tika, vaho tsy hizò fibara ndra kerè.
They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.
13 Kafoake avao o mpitokio, tsy am’ iareo i tsaray; aa le zay ty hanoañe iareo.
And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto them.
14 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy: Kanao sinao’ areo i entañe zay, le hanoeko afo am-palie’o ao o volakoo, naho hatae ondaty retoañe, hamorototoeko iareo.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure them.
15 Hampiambotraheko ama’o ty fifeheañe boake tsietoitane añe, ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe t’Iehovà. Fifeheañe lava havelo, fifelehañe haehae, tane aman-tsaontsy tsy fohi’o, vaho tsy hapota’o ze taroñe’e.
Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.
16 Hoe kibory misokake ty trañon-ana-pale’ iareo, songa fanalolahy.
Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.
17 Habotse’ iareo ty nivokare’o naho ty mahakama’o; hagedra’ iareo o ana-dahi’oo naho o anak’ampela’oo; ho kamae’ iareo o lia-rai’oo naho o mpirai-tro’oo: ho genohe’ iareo o vahe’oo naho o sakoa’oo; ho demohe’ iareo am-pibara o rova fatratse iatoa’oo.
And they shall eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.
18 Fa ndra amy andro rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho fonga mongoreko.
Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of you.
19 Aa ie manao ty hoe iereo: Ino ty nanoe’Iehovà Andrianañahare-tika amantika i hene raha zay? le hoe ty havale’o: Hambañ’amy namorintseña’ areo Ahiy, naho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e an-tane’ areo ao, t’ie hitoroñe ambahiny an-tane tsy anahareo.
And when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 Koiho añ’anjomba’ Iakobe naho tseizo e Iehodà ao ty hoe:
Declare this in the house of Iaakob, and publish it in Iudah, saying,
21 Janjiño zao ry ondaty gege, tsy mahilalao; amam-pihaino fe tsy mahaoniñe, aman-dravembia f’ie tsy mahajanjiñe.
Heare nowe this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not.
22 Tsy mañeveñe amako hao nahareo? hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy mihondrahondra añatrefako etoa hao nahareo? Napoko ho fañefetse amy riakey i faseñey, ho sebañe nainai’e tsy hisorohañe; aa ndra te mitoabotse o onja’eo tsy hahafitroatse, ndra te mitroñe tsy haha-fitsaka aze.
Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraide at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bounds of the sea by the perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
23 F’ie manjehatse naho miola ty arofo’ondaty retoa, miveve vaho mienga.
But this people hath an vnfaithfull and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
24 Tsy anoe’ iereo añ’arofo ao ty hoe: Antao hañeveñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, ie mampahavy orañe an-tsa’e, i orañ’asotriy naho i oram-panjakay vaho tana’e ho antika o hereñandro namantañeñe ho fitatahañeo.
For they say not in their heart, Let vs nowe feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine both early and late in due season: hee reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest.
25 Fa nampihake irezay o hakeo’oo, le nampisitake ty hasoa ama’o o tahi’oo.
Yet your iniquities haue turned away these things, and your sinnes haue hindred good things from you.
26 Toe zoeñe am’ondatikoo o lo-tserekeo, mijilo hoe mpitsepa-boroñe le mikopete; mampibitsoke fandri-bo; mamandrike ondaty.
For among my people are founde wicked persons, that lay waite as hee that setteth snares: they haue made a pit, to catch men.
27 Manahake ty kipa pea voroñe, o kivoho’ iareo lipo-kiniao; aa le nitoabotse ty enge naho ty vara’ iareo.
As a cage is full of birdes, so are their houses full of deceite: thereby they are become great and waxen riche.
28 Vondrake naho sometsetse, mitombo am-pikitrohan-draty, tsy zakae’ iereo ami’ty hatò ty enta’ i bodey hampiraorao aze, vaho tsy arova’ iareo ty zo’ o rarakeo.
They are waxen fat and shining: they doe ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement of the fatherlesse: yet they prosper, though they execute no iudgement for the poore.
29 Tsy ho liloveko hao iereo? hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho valeko fate hao ty fifeheañe manahake itone?
Shall I not visite for these things, sayth the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
30 Raha mahavereñe naho haloloañe ty nifetsake amy taney:
An horrible and filthie thing is committed in the land.
31 mitoky vilañe o mpitokio, vaho mañorike o mpitokio ty fifehea’ o mpisoroñeo; izay ty tea’ ondatikoo, fa ino ty hanoe’areo am-pigadoña’e?
The Prophets prophesie lies, and ye Priests receiue giftes in their handes, and my people delite therein. What will ye then doe in the ende thereof?
