Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Ny amin’ i Moaba. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Nidiran-doza Nebo, fa rava! Mangaihay Kiriataima, fa afaka; Mangaihay Misgaba sady raiki-tahotra.
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
Tsy misy ho reharehan’ i Moaba intsony; Tao Hesbona no niheverany hampididoza aminy hoe: Andeha horavantsika tsy ho firenena izy. Ho ringana koa ianao, ry Madmena, Hanenjika anao ny sabatra.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Injay! misy feo fitarainana ao Horonaima hoe: Fandravana sy fandringanana be!
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
Rava Moaba, ny madinika ao dia mamoaka fitarainana.
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
Fa miakatra mitomany lalandava eny amin’ ny fiakarana Lohita izy; Ary amin’ ny fidinana mankany Horonaima no andrenesana fitarainana mafy noho ny fandringanana.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
Mandosira, vonjeo ny ainareo. Ary aoka ho tahaka ny olona mahantra any an-efitra ianareo.
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Fa noho ny nitokianao tamin’ ny asanao sy ny rakitrao dia ho voasambotra koa ianao; Ary Kemosy ho lasan-ko babo, dia ny mpisorony sy ny mpanapaka rehetra.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Ary ny mpandringana ho tonga ao amin’ ny tanàna rehetra, ka tsy hisy tanàna tsy ho afaka; Ny lohasaha koa ho simba, ary ny tany lemaka ho rava, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Omeo elatra Moaba, fa hanidina izy ka ho lasa; Ary ho lao ny tanànanay, ka tsy hisy mponina.
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
Ho voaozona anie Izay manao tsirambina foana ny asa asain’ i Jehovah atao! Eny, ho voaozona anie izay mihazona ny sabany tsy handatsa-drà!
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
Moaba nandry fahizay hatry ny fony izy mbola kely ka niotrika tao amin’ ny faikany, fa tsy naidina nafindrafindra siny, ary tsy mbola lasan-ko babo izy; koa izany no aharetan’ ny tsirony ao aminy sy tsy iovan’ ny fofony.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Koa, indro, avy ny andro hanirahako mpanohoka ho any aminy, hoy Jehovah, Izay hanohoka azy ka hahafoana ny fitoeran-divainy sady hanorotoro ny sininy.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Ary Moaba ho menatra noho ny amin’ i Kemosy toy ny nahamenaran’ ny taranak’ Isiraely noho ny amin’ i Betela tokiny.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
Ahoana no anaovanareo hoe: Lehilahy matanjaka sady mahery an’ ady izahay?
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
Rava Moaba, fa ny tanànany dia efa nanihina. Ary ny zatovony voafantina efa nidina ho any amin’ ny famonoana. Hoy ny Mpanjaka, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
Efa antomotra ny loza hanjo an’ i Moaba, ary mimaona ny fahoriany.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Mitomania azy, ianareo rehetra izay manodidina azy sy ianareo rehetra izay mahalala ny anarany! Eny, manaova hoe: Indrisy! tapaka ny tehina mafy sy ny tsorakazo tsara tarehy!
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
Ry Dibona, zanakavavy mponina, midìna miala amin’ ny voninahitrao, ka mitoera ao amin’ ny tany mangentana, fa ilay mandringana an’ i Moaba dia miakatra mamely anao sady mandrava ny fiarovanao.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
Ry mponina any Aroera, mijanòna eny an-dalambe, ka mitazàna, ary izay mandositra, na lehilahy na vehivavy, dia anontanio hoe: Nozoin’ inona ianareo?
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
Afa-baraka Moaba, eny, raiki-tahotra izy; Midradradradra sy mitaraina, ka ambaraonareo ao Arnona fa rava Moaba.
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
Ary ny fitsarana dia miakatra ao amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia ao Holona sy Jahaza sy Mefata
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
Sy Dibona sy Nebo sy Beti-diblataima
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
Sy Kiriataima sy Beti-gamola sy Beti-meona
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
Sy Keriota ary Bozra, eny, ny tanànan’ i Moaba rehetra, na ny lavitra na ny akaiky.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
Voakapa ny tandrok’ i Moaba, ary tapaka koa ny sandriny, hoy Jehovah.
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
Ataovy leony izy, fa niavonavona tamin’ i Jehovah; Moaba hihosinkosina amin’ ny loany sady mba ho tonga fihomehezana kosa.
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
Fa tsy efa nataonao ho fihomehezana va ny Isiraely? Moa hita fa naman’ ny mpangalatra va izy, no dia mihifikifika ianao isaky ny milaza azy?
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
Ry mponina any Moaba! ilaozy ny tanàna, ka mitoera ao amin’ ny harambato, ary aoka ho tahaka ny voromailala izay manao ny akaniny erỳ am-pitan’ ny hantsana ianao.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
Ffa renay ny fiavonavonan’ i Moaba fatra-piavonavona loatra izy dia ny fireharehany sy ny fiavonavonany sy ny fiaingitrainginy ary ny avonavon’ ny fony.
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Izaho mahalala ny fihoa-bavany sy ny fibedibediny foana, hoy Jehovah; Tsinontsinona ny ataony.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Koa hidradradradra noho ny amin’ i Moaba aho; Eny, hitomany noho ny amin’ i Moaba rehetra aho, ary hitsetra noho ny amin’ ny mponina ao Kira-haresa ny olona.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Mihoatra noho ny fitomanian’ i Jazera no hitomaniako anao, ry voalobok’ i Sibma, tafita ny ranomasina ny rantsanao ary tonga hatrany amin’ ny ranomasin’ i Jazera; Ny mpandripaka dia tonga handripaka ny voankazonao masaka fahavaratra sy ny voalobokao.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Ary ny hafaliana sy ny faharavoravoana nesorina tamin’ ny saha nahavokatra sy tamin’ ny tany Moaba, ary nataoko tankina ny divay tamin’ ny vata fanantazana ranom-boaloboka, tsy hisy hihoby amin’ ny fanitsakitsahana; Ny fihobiana dia tsy fihobiana akory.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
Ny fitarainan’ i Hesbona dia re hatrany Elale sy Jahaza. Hatrany Zoara ka hatrany Horonaima sy Eglata-selisia; Fa na dia ny ranon’ i Nimrima aza dia ho ritra koa.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Ary hatsahatro ao Moaba koa Izay miakatra hanatitra amin’ ny fitoerana avo sy izay mandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny andriamaniny, hoy Jehovah.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
Ary noho izany ny foko dia mitomany manao feon-tsodina noho ny amin’ i Moaba, ary ny foko mitomany manao feon-tsodina noho ny amin’ ny mponina ao Kira-haresa. Eny, noho izany dia levona ny harena be izay nohariny.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
Fa mibory ny loha rehetra. Ary voaharatra ny somotra rehetra, misy tetika amin’ ny tanana rehetra sy lamba fisaonana amin’ ny valahana.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Eny, amin’ ny tampon-trano rehetra any Moaba sy eny an-kalalahana dia misy fisaonana avokoa; Satria torotoroiko toy ny fanaka tsy mahafinaritra intsony Moaba, hoy Jehovah.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
Indrisy! raiki-tahotra izy! Midradradradrà! Indrisy! efa miamboho Moaba, mangaihay Izy, ka dia tonga fihomehezana sy fampitahorana ho an’ izay rehetra manodidina azy.
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hanidina toy ny voromahery izy ka hamelatra ny elany hipaoka an’ i Moaba.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
Afaka ny tanàna, ka azo ny batery fiarovana, ary amin’ izany andro izany ny fon’ ny lehilahy maherin’ i Moaba dia ho tahaka ny fon’ ny vehivavy mihetsi-jaza.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
Ary horavana tsy ho firenena intsony Moaba. Satria niavonavona tamin’ i Jehovah izy.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
Tahotra sy lavaka ary fandrika no mahazo anao, ry mponina any Moaba, hoy Jehovah.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
Izay mandositra ny tahotra dia ho latsaka any an-davaka; Ary izay miakatra avy any an-davaka dia ho voan’ ny fandrika; Fa hataoko tonga amin’ i Moaba ny taona hamaliana azy, hoy Jehovah.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
Ao amin’ ny alokalok’ i Hesbona no ijanonan’ ny mpandositra, satria lany hery ireny; Kanjo misy afo mivoaka avy any Hesbona, ary lelafo avy any Sihona, ka mandevona ny sisin’ i Moaba sy ny tampon-dohan’ ny mpitabataba.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
Idiran-doza ianao, ry Moaba! Ringana ny olon’ i Kemosy! Fa ho babo ny zanakao-lahy, ary ho sambotra ny zanakao-vavy.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
Nefa mbola hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ihany Moaba any am-parany, hoy Jehovah. Hatreto ny amin’ ny fitsarana an’ i Moaba.
