Jeremia 6
1 Mipitsiha mb’am-pipalirañe mb’eo ry ana’ i Beniamineo, boak’ an-teñateña’ Ierosalaime ao; popòho e Tekoa añe i antsivay, vaho ampitroaro fanairañe e Bete-hak’kereme eñe; fa hirik’ avaratse ty hankàñe, ty fandrotsahañe jabajaba.
O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
2 I soa vintañe naho malemey, i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ro haitoako.
I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
3 Hivotrak’ ama’e o mpiarakeo rekets’ o lia-rai’eo, hampitroatse fiarikatohañe ami’ty kivoho’ iareo, le songa hiandrazañe an-toe’e.
The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
4 Ihentseño aly; miongaha hanameantika aze an-tsingilingiliñeñe. Feh’ ohatse amantika, fa miroñe i àndroy, mihalava o talinjon-karivao!
Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
5 Miavota hanamean-tika haleñe, handrotsahantika o anjomba’eo!
Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
6 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Firao o hatae’eo; atroaro am’Ierosalaime ty fanongàm-panameañe; toe rova tsy mete tsy lilovañe, fa forekeke avao ty ama’e ao.
For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
7 Manahake ty fitana’ o vovoñeo ty hamamin-drano’e, ty fitana’e ho veloñe o haloloa’eo; janjiñeñe ama’e ao ty tazataza naho ty tsiborohetoke; añatrefako eo nainai’e ty hasiloke naho ty fere.
As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
8 Mitaoa ry Ierosalaime, kera ho alik’amako nahareo, ie hampangoakoaheko ho tane tsy amam-pimoneñe.
Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
9 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho vata’e tsindrohe’iareo ty sisa’ Israele hambañe amy t’ie vahe; ozaño am-pita’o indraike i tsampa’ey manahake ty mpanifo valoboke.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
10 Ia ty ho volañeko naho hatahataeko, hahafijanjiña’ iareo? Hehe, domoke o ravembia’ iareoo, tsy mahatsendreñe; Hete! fañinjeañe am’iereo ty tsara’ Iehovà, tsy mahafale’ iareo.
Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
11 Fe lifo’ ty fiforoforo’ Iehovà iraho; mahamokotse ahy ty mitañ’aze; adoaño amo ajaja an-dalañeo, naho amo ajalahy mifañosoñeo; songa ho rambeseñe ie mirovaly, o zoke’eo rekets’ o androanavio.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
12 Ho limbeze’ ty ila’e o anjomba’iareoo, o tetekeo miharo amo rakemba’ iareoo; fa hatora-kitsiko amo mpimoneñe amy taneio ty tañako, hoe t’Iehovà.
And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
13 Songa mitavañe hitomboa’e ty tsitso’e am’iareo pak’ami’ty loho bey; fonga mpikatramo ty mpitoky sikal’ami’ty mpisoroñe.
For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
14 Nitaha’ iareo tsidaredare ty fere’ ondatikoo, ami’ty hoe, Fañanintsiñe, Fañanintsiñe, ie tsy eo ty Fanintsiñañe.
They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15 Toko’e ho nahasalatse iereo ty hativàñe nanoe’iereo, f’ie tsy mahay meñatse. Aa le hikorovoke amo mikorovokeo amy androm-pandilovañey iereo, vaho hitsikapy, hoe t’Iehovà.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
16 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mijohaña an-dala mifanivalañe eo le mahaisaha, mañontanea o oloñoloñe haehaeo, te aia i lalam-bantañey; vaho añavelò, hahatendreha’ areo fitofan’ arofo. Fa hoe iareo: Zahay tsy homb’eo.
Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
17 Mbore nampitroarako mpijilo, nanao ty hoe: Haoño ty feo’ i antsivay! Hoe ka iereo: Zahay tsy hañaoñe.
Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
18 Aa le mijanjiña ry fifeheañeo vaho mahafohina ry valobohòkeo, ty haseseke am’iareo:
Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
19 Tsanoño ry tane; Inao! handesako hankàñe ondaty retoa, ty toli’ o fikinià’ iareoo, amy t’ie tsy nañaoñe o volakoo; mbore nifarie’ iareo i Fanoroakoy.
Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
20 Hanoeko inoñe o rame boake Sebao, naho o fare boake tsietoitaneo? Tsy noko o enga’ oroa’ areoo, tsy mahafale ahy o fisoroña’ areoo.
To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
21 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Hehe te mampipoke vato mahatsikapy aolo’ ondaty retoa iraho, hampitsikapy roae reketse keleiañe; fonga ho mongotse ty mpimoneñe miharo rañetse.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
22 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Heheke, ondaty mangovovoke mb’etoy boak’an-tane avaratseo, fifeheañe jabajaba ty hahetseketseke boake tsietoimoneñe añe.
Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
23 Vontitire’ iareo ty fale naho ty lefoñe, masiake iereo, tsy miferenay, manahake ty fitroña’ i riakey ty fikoraha’ iareo; naho miningitse soavala, miriritse hoe lahin-defo miatrek’aly, ama’o ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione!
With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
24 Ie nitsanoña’ay talily, dredra’e o taña’aio; mamihiñe anay ty lovilovy, ty haorean-drakemba mitsongo.
We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
25 Ko miakatse mb’an-tetek’ ao, ko mañavelo an-damoke eo; amy te mampiboele harevendreveñañe mb’etia mb’atia ty fibara’ i rafelahiy.
Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
26 O ry anak’ ampela’ ondatiko, misikìna gony, vaho milalilalia an-davenoke; miroveta hoe t’ie bako tokañe, mandalà añ’aferon’ate, amy te hivovò amantika i mpandrotsakey.
O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
27 Nanoeko mpañasohaso naho mpitsòke am’ondatikoo irehe, hahafohina’o naho hitsikaraha’o o sata’eo.
I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
28 Fonga mpiola manjehatse iereo, mb’eo mb’eo mamokafoka avao; torisìke naho viñe, songa tsivokatse.
They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
29 Mitioke mafe o famoforañeo, forototoe’ ty afo i firakey, tsy lefe ty fitoloñam-pitranahañe, amy te tsy mete ho faoheñe ama’e o halò-tserehañeo.
The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
30 Atao ty hoe taim-bolafoty iereo, amy te naforintse’ Iehovà.
They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
