Jeremia 50
1 Ty entañe nitsarae’ Iehovà ty amy Bavele, tane’ o nte-Kasdioy, añam’ Iirmeà mpitoky.
The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Taroño amo kilakila’ ndatio, tseizo; añonjono vorovoro, koiho vaho ko ampikafireñe ty hoe: Tinavañe ty Bavele, salatse t’i Bele, lonjetse ty Merodake; songa nampisalareñe o saren-drahare’eo, dinemoke o hazomanga’eo.
Declare ye among the nations and announce, and set up a standard; announce, and conceal not; say: 'Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'
3 Amy te boak’ avaratse añe ty fifeheañe haname aze, ty hampangoakoake i tane’ey, ampara t’ie tsy amam-pimoneñe; fonga nañariok’ añe ndra ondaty ndra hare.
For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein; they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast.
4 Amy andro zay, naho amy sa zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le homb’ atoy o ana’ Israeleo, ie naho o ana’ Iehodao, hangololoike ty rovetse te mañavelo, vaho ho tsoehe’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo.
In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.
5 Hañontanea’ iareo ty lalañe mb’e Tsione mb’eo, naho hampiatrefe’iareo laharañe; Homb’eo iereo hireketse am’ Iehovà ami’ty fañina tsy modo nainai’e, tsy ho haliño.
They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces hitherward: 'Come ye, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.'
6 Fa añondry motso ondatikoo; nampandrifihe’ o mpiara’ iareoo; nampidadà’ iereo amo haboañeo; nirererere am-bohitse pak’ an-kaboañe, nandikofa’ iareo ty fitofà’ iareo.
My people hath been lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place.
7 Fonga nampibotseke iareo ze nifanendrek’ ama’e; le nanao ty hoe o malaiñ’ iareoo: Tsy aman-kakeo zahay; amy t’ie ro nandilatse am’ Iehovà, fimoneñan-kavantañañey, am’ Iehovà fitaman-droae’iareo.
All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said: 'We are not guilty'; because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 Miridriha boake Bavele ao, naho iakaro ty tane o nte-Kasdio, vaho itsikombeo ty oselahy miaolo’ i lia-rai’ey.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
9 Inao! ho troboeko hionjoñe hiatrek’ i Bavele ty firimboñam-pifeheañe ra’elahy boak’ an-tane avaratse añe; miriritse ama’e iereo, le ho tavaneñe amy zao; hanahake o amy fanalolahy mahimbañeo o anam-pale’iareoo, tsy ama’e ty himpoly mañomaño;
For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her, from thence she shall be taken; their arrows shall be as of a mighty man that maketh childless; none shall return in vain.
10 Ho kopaheñe t’i Kasdy; hahaeneñe ze hene mamaok’ ama’e; hoe t’Iehovà:
And Chaldea shall be a spoil; all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
11 Ty hafalea’areo, naho ty firebeha’areo: ry mpampikopake i lovakoio, ty fitrekoa’areo le hoe tamana añ’ahetse, vaho misehaseha hoe soavala mirefe;
Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder My heritage, because ye gambol as a heifer at grass, and neigh as strong horses;
12 Hangirifiry ty fisalaran-drene’o, ho meñatse i nahatoly azoy; ho tsitso’ o fifeheañeo, fatram-bey, tane karakankaiñe vaho liolio.
Your mother shall be sore ashamed, she that bore you shall be confounded; behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Ami’ty haviñera’ Iehovà le tsy himoneñañe, fa ho vata’e bangìñe; ho latsa iaby ze miary amy Bavele, hikosàke amo hekoheko’e iabio.
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be appalled and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Ampiririto hialy amy Bavele añ’ariari’e eo ry mahatam-paleo, ahiririño, ko manisa ana-pale; amy te anaña’ Iehovà tahiñe.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows; for she hath sinned against the LORD.
15 Mirohafa añ’arikatoke aze, fa miambane re; mihotrake o faha’eo, rebake o kijoli’eo; izay ty fañondroha’ Iehovà, Mamalea fate! hambañe amy nanoe’ey ty hanoañe ama’e.
Shout against her round about, she hath submitted herself; her buttresses are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Aitò amy Bavele ty mpandrarake, naho i mpita-meso am-pitatahañey, ie ihembaña’e ty fibaram-panindry, songa hitolike mb’am’ondati’eo, sindre handripake mb’an-tane’e mb’eo.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest; For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Añondry miparaitake t’Israele, niroahe’ o lionao añe; Ty valoha’e nampibotsek’ aze, i mpanjaka’ i Asorey naho ami’ty figado’e toy t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele ro nampipekañe o taola’eo.
Israel is a scattered sheep, the lions have driven him away; first the king of Assyria hath devoured him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Inao! ho liloveko ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho i tane’ey, manahake ty nandilovako i mpanjaka’ i Asorey.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 Le hampoliko mb’am-piandraza’e mb’eo t’Israele, hihinañe e Karmele naho e Basane ao, vaho hahaeneñe ty tro’e ty an-kaboa’ i Efraime naho i Gilade.
And I will bring Israel back to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
20 Amy andro rezay naho amy sa zay, hoe t’Iehovà, ho kodebèñe ty hakeo’ Israele fe tsy ho eo, naho ty tahi’ Iehodà, fa tsy hahaoniñe; amy te ho hahàko ty hakeo’ o napoko ho sehanga’eo.
In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
21 Mionjona mb’an-tane’ Merataime, atreatréo, naho o mpimoneñe e Pekodeo, mongoro, vata’e rotsaho, hoe t’Iehovà, ano iaby o nandiliako azoo.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Inao, ty hotakotak’ amy taney, naho ty fandrotsaham-bey.
Hark! battle is in the land, and great destruction.
23 Akore te finira naho pinozake ty ana-bato’ ty tane toy! Akore te nampangoakoaheñe añivo’ o fifeheañeo ty Bavele!
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 Ie nandaharako fandrike, toe tsinepake ka, ry Bavele, fe tsy napota’o; nivazohoen-drehe vaho nitratse, amy te ihe nifangatotse am’ Iehovà.
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
25 Fa sinoka’ Iehovà ty fañaja’e, vaho nakare’e o fialian-kaviñera’eo; ty fitoloñañe tsy mete tsy anoe’ i Talè, Iehovà, an-tane o nte-Kasdio.
The LORD hath opened His armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of His indignation; for it is a work that the Lord GOD of hosts hath to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Itameo boak’an-tsietoitane añe, sokafo o riha’eo, atontono mañambone kivotre kivotre, vaho rotsaho; ko anisa’o ndra inoñe.
Come against her from every quarter, open her granaries, cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
27 Fonga lentao o vosi’eo, ampizotsò mb’am-panjamanañe ao; feh’ ohatse ama’e! fa tondroke ty andro’ iareo, ty androm-pandilovañe.
Slay all her bullocks, let them go down to the slaughter; woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Inay! ty feom-pipiliotse naho o nandrifitse boak’an-tane Baveleo, hitsey e Tsione ao ty fañondroha’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, i vale-fate’e ty amy anjomba’eiy.
Hark! they flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of His temple.
29 Koiho hifanontone hiatreke i Bavele o mpitàm-paleo, o mampibitsoke fale iabio; mitobea añ’arikatoke aze; ko ado’ areo te ho eo ty hiborofotse; ondroho ty amo sata’eo, avaleo ama’e o fonga fitoloña’eo, fa nirengevohe’e t’Iehovà, i Masi’ Israeley.
Call together the archers against Babylon, all them that bend the bow; encamp against her round about, let none thereof escape; recompense her according to her work, according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been arrogant against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Aa le hikorovok’ an-tameañe eo o ajalahi’eo, songa hampianjiñeñe amy andro zay o lahin-defo’eo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Therefore shall her young men fall in her broad places, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD.
31 Inao! miatre azo raho ty mpitoabotse tia, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy; fa tondroke ty andro’o, ty namotoañako handilo azo.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most arrogant, saith the Lord GOD of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will punish thee.
32 Hitsikapy naho hikorovoke i loho mpiroharohay, tsy ho amam-pañongake; le ho viañeko afo o rova’eo, vaho ho forototoe’e o faripari’e iabio.
And the most arrogant shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him.
33 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, naharo forekekeñe o ana’ Israeleo naho o nte-Iehodao; fa tinambozò’ o nitsepak’ iareo, nifoneña’ iareo tsy hamotsots’ iareo.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all that took them captives hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
34 Maozatse ty Mpijeba’ iareo, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, ho henefa’e ty fisalala’ iareo, hampitofa’e i taney, vaho ho troboe’e o mpimone’ i Baveleo.
Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of hosts is His name; He will thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 hoe t’Iehovà Hebae’ ty fibara o nte-Kasdio, naho o mpimone’ i Baveleo, naho o roandria’eo, vaho o mahihi’eo.
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 Ohare’ ty fibara o mpandañitseo, hampidagolàñe iareo; Hebaem-bi-lava o fanalolahio, hampidemòhañe iareo.
A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
37 Ho amo soavala’ iareoo ty fibara, naho amo sarete’eo, naho amo ambahiny iaby añivo’ iareoo, fa hanahake ty rakemba iereo; amo vara’eo ty meso-lava, vaho ho voloseñe.
A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women; a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
38 Hafaosa amo rano’eo, fa ho riteñe, amy t’ie tanen-tsamposampon-draha, vaho renge’ iareo o irevendreveña’ iareoo.
A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad upon things of horror.
39 Aa le hitrao-pitobok’ ao ty fosa naho ty farasy, hiantraño ao ka o voron-tsatrañeo; le tsy ho fimoneñañe kitro-katroke, tsy hañialoañe mb’an-tariratse an-tamingañe.
Therefore the wild-cats with the jackals shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 Ho hambañe amy nandrotsahan’ Añahare i Sedome naho i Amorà vaho o mañohoke iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà; tsy himoneña’ ondaty, tsy hañialoa’ ty ana’ ondaty.
As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Inao! hitotsake boak’ avaratse añe ondatio, fifeheañe jabajaba naho mpanjaka maro ty ho troboeñe boak’an-tsietoitane añe.
Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
42 Vontitire’ iereo ty fale naho ty lefoñe, mpampisoañe tsy miferenaiñe; mitroñe hoe i riakey ty feo’ iareo, mijon-tsoavala; miriritse hoe ondaty hihotakotake, ama’o ry anak’ ampela’ i Bavele.
They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Fa jinanji’ ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele ty talily iareo, vaho migebañe o fità’eo; namihiñ’aze ty halonjerañe, ty fanaintaiñan-ampela mitsongo.
The king of Babylon hath heard the fame of them, and his hands wax feeble; anguish hath taken hold of him, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
44 Inao! eo ty hionjoñe hoe liona boak’amo rongo-matahe’ Iordaneo mb’an-goloboñe mifahetse mb’eo; f’ie ho roaheko amy zao, vaho ho tendrèko hamehe aze ze joboñeko; fa ia ty rahambako? Ia ty hamotoañ’ andro ho ahy? Le ia ty mpiarake hahafiatrek’ ahiko?
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
45 Aa le mahajanjiña ty safiri’ Iehovà nisafirie’e i Bavele, naho ty ereñere niereñere’e i tane’ o nte-Kasdioy; toe ho kozozote’e mb’eo ndra ty kede amy lia-rai’ey, hampangoakoahe’e ty am’iereo i fiandraza’ iareoy.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Babylon, and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
46 Hampirihindrihie’ i Taney ty koike manao ty hoe: Fa rinambe ty Bavele; vaho ho janjiñeñe amo fifeheañeo ty fikoaihañe.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth quaketh, and the cry is heard among the nations.
