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.
“Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And blow a horn in Tekoa, And lift up a flame over Beth-Haccerem, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction.
2 I soa vintañe naho malemey, i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ro haitoako.
I have cut off the lovely and delicate one, The daughter of Zion.
3 Hivotrak’ ama’e o mpiarakeo rekets’ o lia-rai’eo, hampitroatse fiarikatohañe ami’ty kivoho’ iareo, le songa hiandrazañe an-toe’e.
Shepherds and their droves come to her, They have struck tents by her all around, They have each fed [in] his own station.”
4 Ihentseño aly; miongaha hanameantika aze an-tsingilingiliñeñe. Feh’ ohatse amantika, fa miroñe i àndroy, mihalava o talinjon-karivao!
“Sanctify the battle against her, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day has turned, For the shades of evening are stretched out,
5 Miavota hanamean-tika haleñe, handrotsahantika o anjomba’eo!
Rise, and we go up by night, And we 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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down her wood, And pour out a mound against Jerusalem, She [is] the city to be inspected, She [is] full of oppression in her midst.
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 digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has dug [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Sickness and striking [are] continually before My face.
8 Mitaoa ry Ierosalaime, kera ho alik’amako nahareo, ie hampangoakoaheko ho tane tsy amam-pimoneñe.
Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from you, Lest I make you a desolation, A land [that is] not inhabited.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put your hand back, as a gatherer to 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.
To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Behold, a word of YHWH has been to them for a reproach, They do not delight 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.
And I have been filled with the fury of YHWH (I have been weary of containing), “To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, [The] elderly with one full of days,
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 have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 their least to their greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even to priest, Everyone is dealing falsely,
14 Nitaha’ iareo tsidaredare ty fere’ ondatikoo, ami’ty hoe, Fañanintsiñe, Fañanintsiñe, ie tsy eo ty Fanintsiñañe.
And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And 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.
They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not at all ashamed, Indeed, they have not known blushing, Therefore they fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “Stand by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this—the good way? And go in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, We do not go.
17 Mbore nampitroarako mpijilo, nanao ty hoe: Haoño ty feo’ i antsivay! Hoe ka iereo: Zahay tsy hañaoñe.
And I have raised up watchmen for you, Attend to the voice of the horn. And they say, We do not attend.
18 Aa le mijanjiña ry fifeheañeo vaho mahafohina ry valobohòkeo, ty haseseke am’iareo:
Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, That which [is] on 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.
Hear, O earth, behold, I am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their plans, For they gave no attention to My words, And My law—they kick against it.
20 Hanoeko inoñe o rame boake Sebao, naho o fare boake tsietoitaneo? Tsy noko o enga’ oroa’ areoo, tsy mahafale ahy o fisoroña’ areoo.
Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, And the sweet cane from a far-off land, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to 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 said YHWH: “Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, The neighbor and his friend perish.”
22 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Heheke, ondaty mangovovoke mb’etoy boak’an-tane avaratseo, fifeheañe jabajaba ty hahetseketseke boake tsietoimoneñe añe.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, a people has come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up 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!
They take hold of bow and javelin, It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, And they ride on horses, Set in array as a man of war, Against you, O daughter of Zion.”
24 Ie nitsanoña’ay talily, dredra’e o taña’aio; mamihiñe anay ty lovilovy, ty haorean-drakemba mitsongo.
We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.
25 Ko miakatse mb’an-tetek’ ao, ko mañavelo an-damoke eo; amy te mampiboele harevendreveñañe mb’etia mb’atia ty fibara’ i rafelahiy.
Do not go forth to the field, And do not walk in the way, For the enemy has a sword, Fear [is] all around.
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, Gird on sackcloth, And roll yourself in ashes, Make mourning [as for] an only one, A most bitter lamentation, For the spoiler suddenly comes against us.
27 Nanoeko mpañasohaso naho mpitsòke am’ondatikoo irehe, hahafohina’o naho hitsikaraha’o o sata’eo.
“I have given you a watchtower, A fortress among My people, And you know, and have tried their way.
28 Fonga mpiola manjehatse iereo, mb’eo mb’eo mamokafoka avao; torisìke naho viñe, songa tsivokatse.
All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously—bronze and iron, All of them are corrupters.
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 bellows have been burned, The lead has been consumed by fire, A refiner has refined in vain, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
30 Atao ty hoe taim-bolafoty iereo, amy te naforintse’ Iehovà.
They have called them rejected silver, For YHWH has kicked against them!”
