Jeremia 7
1 Ty tsara nahitri’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà, manao ty hoe:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Mijohaña an-dalambein’ Anjomba’ Iehovà eo, le koiho ty entañe toy, ami’ty hoe: Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà ry Iehodà iabio, o mimoak’ amo lalam-bey retoio hitalaho am’ Iehovào.
Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, ahitio o lia’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo, le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Ko iantofa’ areo ty reha-bande manao ty hoe: Ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà.
Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these.
5 Eka, naho toe avanta’ areo o lala’areoo naho o fitoloña’areoo; naho toe manao ty hato añivo’ t’indaty naho i rañe’ey;
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor,
6 Naho tsy forekeke’ areo ty ambahiny, ty bode rae, vaho ty vantotse; le tsy mampiori-dio-màliñe an-tane atoy, vaho tsy mañori-drahare ila’e ho ami’ty fañelohañe anahareo;
if ye do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own hurt,
7 Le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy, ie tane natoloko an-droae’areo ho nainai’e donia.
then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for evermore.
8 Fe hehe t’ie miantoke ty rehan-dremborake tsy manjofake.
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Mampikametse, mañoho-doza, mpañarapilo, manao fanta vilañe, mibanabana amy Baale, vaho mañorike ndrahare ila’e tsy nifohi’ areo!
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,
10 Mbore mb’etoy, mijagarodoñe añatrefako ami’ty anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoy toy, manao ty hoe: Votsotse zahay, hitoloña’ areo o hativàñe iabio.
and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, that ye may do all these abominations?
11 Aa vaho lakato’ malaso am-pahaoniña’ areo hao ty anjomba tokaveñe ami’ty añarako toy? Heheke! izaho, eka izaho ty nahatrea, hoe t’Iehovà.
Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Jehovah.
12 Akia arè, mb’amy ni-toeko e Silòy, i nampimoneñako i añarakoy valoha’ey, vaho oniño ty nanoako aze ty amy haloloa’ ondatiko Israeleoy.
But go ye now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Ie henane zao, amy te fonga nanoe’ areo i sata rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, le nitaroñe, toe nañaleñale te nivolañe, fe tsy nañaoñe nahareo, vaho nitokaveko f’ie tsy nanoiñe.
And now, because ye have done all these works, says Jehovah. And I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not,
14 Aa le hanoeko amy anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoiy, i fiatoa’ areoy, i toetse natoloko anahareo naho an-droae’ areoy, hambañe amy nanoeko e Siloy.
therefore I will do to the house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 Havokovokoko tsy ho treako nahareo, hambañe ami’ty nandroahako o rolongo’ areo iabio, ze hene tarira’ i Efraime.
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Aa naho ihe, ko mihalaly ho a’ ondaty retoañe, ko añonjonan-koike ndra soloho, vaho ko manao ondati-aivo amako fa tsy ho haoñeko.
Therefore pray thou not for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them. Neither make intercession to me, for I will not hear thee.
17 Tsy oni’o hao ty anoe’ iareo amo rova’ Iehodao naho amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo?
Do thou not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Mangàla-katae o ajajao, mamiañe afo o rae’eo, mañajary bokon-koba o rakembao hamboara’ iareo vonga-mofo i mpanjaka-ampelan-dikerañey; vaho añiliña’ iareo enga rano o ndrahare ila’eo, hampibosek’ ahy.
The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Izaho hao o sigihe’ iareoo? Hoe t’Iehovà, Tsy iereo avao ho ami’ty hasalara’iareo?
Do they provoke me to anger? says Jehovah, and not themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà: Inao! Hailiñe ami’ty toetse toy ty habosehako naho ty fifomboko, am’ondatio naho amo hareo, amo hatae ankivokeo naho ami’ty vokatse an-tane atoy; ho forototoeñe, tsy lefe akipeke.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground. And it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Tovoño amo fisoroña’ areoo, amo enga-koroa’ areoo ty fikama’ areo i hena’ey.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
22 Fe tsy nivolañeko o roae’ areoo tsy nililieko amy andro naneseako iareo boak’an-tane Mitsraime añey ze o enga oroañeo naho o fisoroñañeo.
For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.
23 Fe hoe ty nandiliako iareo, Haoño ty feoko le ho Andrianañahare’ areo iraho, naho ho ondatiko nahareo; vaho añavelò iaby o lalañe nililiakoo, soa te hiraorao.
But this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
24 F’ie tsy nañaoñe iereo, tsy nanongilan-dravembia, te mone nañavelo ami’ty fikililian-tro’ iareo, añ’ereñeren’ arofo-lo, vaho nidisa-voly fa tsy nionjoñe.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Boak’amy andro niakaran-droae’ areo i Mitsraimey am-para’ ty andro toy, le nañitrike o mpitoroko mpitoky iabio mb’ama’ areo nañaleñaleñe te niraheñe;
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
26 f’ie tsy nañaoñe ahy, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, toe nampigàn-kàtoke avao; maro ty haratiañe nanoe’iereo te aman-droae’iareo.
Yet they hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
27 Hene saontsio am’iareo o entañe zao, f’ie tsy hijanjiñ’azo; ho koihe’o, f’ie tsy hanoiñe azo.
And thou shall speak all these words to them, but they will not hearken to thee. Thou shall also call to them, but they will not answer thee.
28 Hanoa’o ty hoe: Itoy ty fifeheañe tsy nañorike ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, tsy nañaom-panoroañe; modo ty hatò, naito am-pivimbi’iareo.
And thou shall say to them, This is the nation that has not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 Hitsifo o maroi’oo, naho ahifiho añe; añonjono an-kaboañe maliolio ey ty fandalañe, fa nifarie’ Iehovà vaho naforintse’e ty tariratse nampiforoforo azey.
Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights. For Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 Fa nanao raty am-pahatreavako o ana’ Iehodao, hoe t’Iehovà; napo’iareo añ’anjomba kanjieñe amy añarakoy o raha tiva’ iareoo, handeots’ aze.
For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, says Jehovah. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
31 Mbore rinanji’ iareo o tamboho’ i Topete am-bavatanen’ana’ i Hinomeo, hañoroañ’ añ’afo ao o ana-dahi’ iareoo naho o anak’ ampela’ iareoo— ie tsy nililieko, tsy naereñèreko.
And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
32 Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, t’ie tsy hanoeñe Topete ka, tsy ho vavatanen’ana’ i Hinome, fa ty vavatanem-panjamanañe, amy te handeveñe e Topete ao iereo am-para’ te tsy aman-toetse.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.
33 Ho fihina’ o voron-tiokeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio ty lolo’ ondaty retoa; vaho tsy eo ty handroake iareo.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth, and none shall frighten them away.
34 Hajiheko amo rova’ Iehodao naho amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo ty feon-kafaleañe naho ty feom-pirebehañe, ty feom-pañenga naho ty feon’ engavao, fa ho kòake i taney.
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, for the land shall become a waste.
