Jeremia 50
1 Ty entañe nitsarae’ Iehovà ty amy Bavele, tane’ o nte-Kasdioy, añam’ Iirmeà mpitoky.
The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of 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 among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
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 a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.
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 ask the way [to] Zion, Their faces [are] toward that place: Come in, and we are joined to YHWH, A perpetual covenant—never 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 have been a perishing flock, Their shepherds have caused them to err, Causing them to go back [on] the mountains, They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their crouching-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 finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.
8 Miridriha boake Bavele ao, naho iakaro ty tane o nte-Kasdio, vaho itsikombeo ty oselahy miaolo’ i lia-rai’ey.
Move from the midst of Babylon, And go out from the land of the Chaldeans; And be as male goats before a flock.
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 behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,
10 Ho kopaheñe t’i Kasdy; hahaeneñe ze hene mamaok’ ama’e; hoe t’Iehovà:
And Chaldea has been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of My inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And cry aloud as bulls,
12 Hangirifiry ty fisalaran-drene’o, ho meñatse i nahatoly azoy; ho tsitso’ o fifeheañeo, fatram-bey, tane karakankaiñe vaho liolio.
Your mother has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] 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 YHWH it is not inhabited, And it has been a desolation—all of it. Everyone passing by at Babylon is astonished, And hisses because of 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 all around, All you treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For she has sinned against YHWH.
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 all around, She has given forth her hand, Her foundations have fallen, Her walls have been thrown down, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, Be avenged of her, as she did—do to 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 handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
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 as] a scattered sheep, Lions have driven [him] away, At first, the king of Asshur devoured him, And now, at last, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bone.
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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
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 have brought Israel back to his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel and on Bashan; And his soul is satisfied on Mount Ephraim and on 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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “The iniquity of Israel is sought, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
21 Mionjona mb’an-tane’ Merataime, atreatréo, naho o mpimoneñe e Pekodeo, mongoro, vata’e rotsaho, hoe t’Iehovà, ano iaby o nandiliako azoo.
Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it, And to the inhabitants of Pekod, Dry up and devote their posterity,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Inao, ty hotakotak’ amy taney, naho ty fandrotsaham-bey.
A noise of battle [is] in the land, And of great destruction.
23 Akore te finira naho pinozake ty ana-bato’ ty tane toy! Akore te nampangoakoaheñe añivo’ o fifeheañeo ty Bavele!
How it has been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How Babylon has been for a desolation among 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 you, And you are also captured, O Babylon, And you have known, You have been found, and are also caught, For you have stirred yourself up against YHWH.
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.
YHWH has opened His treasury, And He brings out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, 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 in to her from the extremity, Open her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
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 cows, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for their day has come, The time of their inspection.
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.
A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of our God YHWH, 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.
Summon archers to Babylon, all treading the bow, Encamp against her all around, Let [her] have no escape; Repay to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For she has been proud against YHWH, 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 her young men fall in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day,” A declaration of YHWH.

“Behold, I [am] against you, O pride,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, “For your day has come, the time of your inspection.
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 pride has stumbled, And he has fallen, and has none raising up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all around 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 said YHWH of Hosts: The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
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.

A sword [is] for the Chaldeans,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;

A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;

A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;

A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of carved images, And they boast themselves in idols.

Behold, a people has come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides 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 seize bow and javelin, They [are] cruel, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, and they ride on horses, Set in array as a man for battle, Against you, 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.

Therefore, hear the counsel of YHWH, That He counseled concerning Babylon, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make the habitation desolate over them?
