Jeremia 7
1 Ty tsara nahitri’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà, manao ty hoe:
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, 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 the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, ahitio o lia’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo, le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you in this place.
4 Ko iantofa’ areo ty reha-bande manao ty hoe: Ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà.
Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord.
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 you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement 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 you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,
7 Le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy, ie tane natoloko an-droae’areo ho nainai’e donia.
I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.
8 Fe hehe t’ie miantoke ty rehan-dremborake tsy manjofake.
Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:
9 Mampikametse, mañoho-doza, mpañarapilo, manao fanta vilañe, mibanabana amy Baale, vaho mañorike ndrahare ila’e tsy nifohi’ areo!
To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.
10 Mbore mb’etoy, mijagarodoñe añatrefako ami’ty anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoy toy, manao ty hoe: Votsotse zahay, hitoloña’ areo o hativàñe iabio.
And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done 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.
Is this house then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord.
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.
Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: 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 you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:
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.
I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.
15 Havokovokoko tsy ho treako nahareo, hambañe ami’ty nandroahako o rolongo’ areo iabio, ze hene tarira’ i Efraime.
And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, 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, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Tsy oni’o hao ty anoe’ iareo amo rova’ Iehodao naho amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, 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 children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to 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, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?
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 saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, 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 saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye the 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, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and 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 you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded 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 will, and in the perversity of their wicked 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;
From the day that their fathers came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.
26 f’ie tsy nañaoñe ahy, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, toe nampigàn-kàtoke avao; maro ty haratiañe nanoe’iereo te aman-droae’iareo.
And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and have done 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 shalt speak to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call 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 shalt say to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of 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, and cast it away: and take up a lamentation on high: for the Lord hath 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.
Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute 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 Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on in my heart.
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 shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is no place.
33 Ho fihina’ o voron-tiokeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio ty lolo’ ondaty retoa; vaho tsy eo ty handroake iareo.
And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non to drive 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.
And I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
