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 among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is disappointed, Marduk is dismayed; her images are disappointed, 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 comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.
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,' says the LORD, 'the children of Israel shall come, they and the people 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 turned toward it. They will come and join themselves 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 have 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 who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, "We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, 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 male 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, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
10 Ho kopaheñe t’i Kasdy; hahaeneñe ze hene mamaok’ ama’e; hoe t’Iehovà:
Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied,' says 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 you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, 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 utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: look, she shall be the least of the nations, 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 she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, 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 all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has 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 all around: she has submitted herself; her towers are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, 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 who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone 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 hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, 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.
I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on 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, says 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: kill and utterly destroy after them," says the LORD, "and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Inao, ty hotakotak’ amy taney, naho ty fandrotsaham-bey.
A sound 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 is the hammer of the whole earth cut apart 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 you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren't aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have 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 has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, the LORD of hosts, has a work 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 the utmost border; open her storehouses; 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.
Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, their day has 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.
The voice of those who 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 those who bend the bow; camp against her all around; let none of it escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud 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 her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day," says 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.
"Look, I am against you, you proud one," says the LORD of hosts; for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
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.
The proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are 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 says the LORD of hosts: "The children of Israel and the people of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive 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 on the Chaldeans," says the LORD, "and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her officials, and on her wise men.
36 Ohare’ ty fibara o mpandañitseo, hampidagolàñe iareo; Hebaem-bi-lava o fanalolahio, hampidemòhañe iareo.
A sword is on the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is on 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 on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on 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 on her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they glory over idols.
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 animals of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be lived 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 neighbor cities of it," says the LORD, "so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
41 Inao! hitotsake boak’ avaratse añe ondatio, fifeheañe jabajaba naho mpanjaka maro ty ho troboeñe boak’an-tsietoitane añe.
"Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up 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 mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, 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 has heard the news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
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?
Look, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who can 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 the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: "Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over 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 trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations."
