Jeremia 8
1 Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hakare’ iareo boak’an-kibori’e ao ty taola’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodào, naho ty taola’ o roandria’eo, naho ty taola’ o mpitokio, naho ty taola’ o mpisoroñeo, naho ty taola’ o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo,
At that time, says Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2 ie havarakaike añatrefa’ i àndroy naho i volañey vaho i valobohòn-dikerañe nitea’ iareo naho nitoroñe’ iereo naho norihe’ iereo naho nitsoehe’ iereo vaho nitalahoa’ iareo; tsy hahoroñe tsy haleveñe, fa hadoñe ho forompotse ambone’ tane eo.
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered, nor be buried. They shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 Ho joboñe’ o romoromom-pokom-patse honka’e amo tane nandroahako iareo iabioo ty fivetrahañe aolo’ ty fivelomañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of hosts.
4 Tovoño am’ iereo ka ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsy hitroatse hao ty mikorovoke? Tsy himpoly hao ty mibotriatse?
Moreover thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Inoñ’arè ty nampivio’ ondati’ Ierosalaime retoa t’ie nainai’e am-pitsileañ’ añe? vontitire’ iereo ty fitake, mifoneñe tsy himpoly.
Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firm deceit. They refuse to return.
6 Nitsendreñe iraho, nahatsanoñe t’ie tsy nisaontsy ty hato, leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy misoloho manao ty hoe: Ino o nanoekoo? Songa mivio am-pombà’e mb’eo, manahake ty soavala mirefe aly.
I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright. No man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his course as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
7 Eka apota’ ty sama andikerañ’ eñe o famantaña’eo; ambena’ ty ongongo naho ty foly vaho ty tsiriry o fiampaneña’eo, fe tsy fohi’ ondatikoo ty lili’ Iehovà.
Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the law of Jehovah.
8 Akore te atao’ areo: Mahihitse zahay, vaho aman-tika ty Hà’ Iehovà? Fe hehe te nanoe’ i fanoki-bìla’ o mpanoki-dilioy fandañitse.
How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But behold, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.
9 Nisalareñe o mahihitseo, lonjetse iereo vaho tsinepake: nifarie’ iereo ty tsara’ Iehovà; inoñ’arè ze o hihitse am’ iereo zao?
The wise men are put to shame. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, and what manner of wisdom is in them?
10 Aa le hatoloko am’ty ila’e o tañanjomba’iareoo, naho amo mpitavañeo o tete’iareoo; amy te songa matiti-mena, ty kede naho ty bey; sindre mpikatramo ty mpitoky pak’am-pisoroñe.
Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 Loho maivañe ty nanindria’ iareo ty rare’ i anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy ami’ty hoe: Fañanintsiñe, Fañanintsiñe; aia ze o fanintsiñañe zao?
And they have lightly healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
12 Nimeñatse hao iereo te niota-faly? Aiy avao! tsy nahasalatse iareo, vaho tsy mahay minanake; aa le hikorovoke amo mikorovokeo naho hafetsake ambane amy andro fitilihañe iareoy, hoe t’Iehovà.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.
13 Toe ho mongoreko hoe t’Iehovà: Ho po-balòboke o vaheo, tsy ho amam-boa o sakoañeo, naho hiheatse o rave’eo, vaho hihelañe añe o nitolorakoo.
I will utterly consume them, says Jehovah. There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade, and things I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Ino ty andrarean-tika toboke? Mifanontona, antao hizilik’ amo rova fatratseo naho hianjiñe ao; fa nampianjiñe antika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, vaho nanjotsoa’e ranon-afero ho fikamañe, amy te nanao hakeo am’ Iehovà tika.
Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For Jehovah our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
15 Nipay fierañerañañe tika fe tsy nanjo hasoa; naho andro fijanganañe, fe hehe t’ie hebahebake!
We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
16 Janjiñeñe boake Dane ty fikofòn-tsoavala; manginikinike iaby i taney ami’ty kofò’ o soavala lahi’eo; amy t’ie pok’ eo mampibotseke i taney naho ty halifora’e; ty rova naho o mpimone’eo.
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles. For they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.
17 Le ingo, hañirahako mereñe, toe fandrefeala tsy mete avere, hañehetse anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says Jehovah.
18 Tsy lefe melañeñe ty halendeñako! mitoirañe amako ao ty troko.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
19 Inao ty feon-kaikai’ o anak’ ampela’ ondatikoo boak’ an-tsietoitane añe, tsy e Tsione ao hao t’Iehovà? Tsy ama’e ao hao i Mpanjaka’ey? Ino ty nampiboseha’iareo ahy amo sare-soki’ iareoo, naho amo samposampon’ ambahinio?
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
20 Añe i fitatahañey, modo i asaray, fe tsy voa-rombake tika.
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 Mangirifiry ami’ty fangirifiria’ o anak’ ampela’ ondatikoo iraho; miharovetse; fosatse; mamihiñe ahy ty haemberañe.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold on me.
22 Tsy aman-kosotse hao ty Gilade? Po-panaha hao ty ao? Inoñ’ arè ty tsy nahatotòtse ty fijangana’ i anak’ ampela’ondatikoy?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
