Jeremia 22
1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mizotsoa mb’añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà mb’eo, vaho saontsio eo o entañe zao:
This is what Yahweh says, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and proclaim this word there.
2 ami’ty hoe: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpanjaka’ Iehodà miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davide, ihe naho o mpitoro’oo vaho ondati’o mimoak’ an-dalam-bey retoañe.
Say, 'King of Judah, listen to the word of Yahweh—you who sit on David's throne—you, and your servants, and your people who come through these gates.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ano ty hatò naho ty havantañañe, naho avotsoro am-pità’ o mpamorekekeo o nikamerañeo, naho ko isengea’o hery, ko mijoy ty renetane, ndra ty bode-rae, ndra ty vantotse, vaho ko mampiori-dio-màliñe an-toetse atoy.
Yahweh says this, “Perform justice and righteousness, and anyone who has been robbed—rescue him from the hand of the oppressor. Do not mistreat any foreigner in your land, or any orphan or widow. Do not commit violence or pour out innocent blood in this place.
4 Aa naho toe anoe’ areo i tsaraeñey, le himoak’ amo lalambei’ ty anjomba toio o mpanjaka hiambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davideo, hiningitse sarete naho soavala, ie naho o mpitoro’eo naho ondati’eo.
For if you truly do these things, then kings sitting on David's throne will enter the gates of this house riding in a chariot and on horses, he, his servants, and his people!
5 F’ie tsy mañaoñe o tsara zao le hifantako am-batako, hoe t’Iehovà, te hangoakoake ty anjomba toy.
But if you do not listen to these words from me that I have announced—this is Yahweh's declaration—then this royal house will become a ruin.”'
6 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy anjomba’ i mpanjaka’ Iehodày: Gilade amako rehe, ty andengo’ i Libanone; f’ie toe hanoeko fatrañe, rova tsy amam-pimoneñe.
For Yahweh says this concerning the house of the king of Judah, 'You are like Gilead, or like the summit of Lebanon to me. Yet I will turn you into a wilderness, into cities with no inhabitants.
7 Ampihentseñako mpandrotsake, songa amam-pialiañe; ho firae’ iereo o mendoraveñe soao, vaho havokovoko’ iareo añ’ afo ao.
For I have designated destroyers to come against you! Men with their weapons will cut off the best of your cedars and let them fall into the fire.
8 Fifeheañe maro ty hiary ami’ty rova toy, naho hifanao aman-drañe’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore o nanoe’ Iehovà ty rova jabajaba toio?
Then many nations will pass by this city. Each person will say to the next, “Why has Yahweh acted in this way toward this great city?”
9 Le hanoiñe ty hoe iereo: Amy t’ie nifary ty fañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, niambane aman-drahare ila’e, nitoroñe iareo.
Then the other will answer, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God and bowed down to other gods and worshiped them.”
10 Ko roveta’ areo ty mikoromake, ko mangololoike ho aze; fe poñafo ty hoihoy i misesey, amy te tsy himpoly ka, tsy ho isa’e ka i tane nihirifa’ey.
Do not weep for the one who is dead or mourn for him; but weep bitterly for him who is about to go away, because he will never return and see his native land again.'
11 Fa hoe t’Iehovà ty amy Salome ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, i nandimbe an-drae’e Iosiay, i nionjoñe boak’ ami’ty toetse toiy: t’ie tsy himpoly atoy ka;
For Yahweh says this about Jehoahaz son of Josiah king of Judah, who served as king instead of Josiah his father, 'He has gone from this place and will not come back.
12 fa amy tane aneseañ’ aze ho mpirohiy ty hikoromaha’e, vaho tsy ho isa’e ka ty tane toy.
He will die there in the place to where they have exiled him, and he will never again see this land.'
13 Hankàñe t’indaty mandranjy ty anjomba’e tsy an-kavantañañe, naho o efe’eo tsy an-katò, mampitolom-pitoroñe tsy an-tambe, vaho tsy atolo’e aze o karama’eo;
Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor work for him for nothing, and he does not give him his wages;
14 I manao ty hoe, hatratrañako ty trañoko naho ampalalàheko o efe’eo; le anampaha’e lalan-kedekede, naho temere’e mendoraveñe o rindri’eo, vaho lokoe’e mena mañabasà.
he says, 'I will build for myself a large house with spacious upper rooms.' So he cuts out large windows for it, and he panels it with cedar, and he paints it red.
15 Mahafehe hao rehe kanao mpisenge mendoraveñe? Tsy nikama naho ninoñe hao o rae’o nitoloñe an-katò naho an-kahiti’e vaho nierañerañeo?
Is this what makes you a good king, that you wanted to have boards of cedar? Did not your father also eat and drink, yet do justice and righteousness? Then things went well for him.
16 Nitaroñe’e ty enta’ o rarakeo naho o poi’eo; nisoa henane zay. Tsy zay hao ty faharendrehañe ahy? hoe t’Iehovà.
He judged in favor of the poor and needy. It was good then. Is this not what it means to know me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
17 Toe ami’ty fihàña’o avao o fihaino’oo naho ty arofo’o, naho ami’ty fampiorihan-dio-màliñe naho famorekekeañe vaho fikatramoañe.
But there is nothing in your eyes and heart except worry for your unjust profit and for pouring out innocent blood, for producing oppression and crushing of others.
18 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ty am’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà: tsy hirovetañe ty hoe: Hoihoy ty rahalahiko, Hoihoy ty rahavave! Tsy hangololoiha’iareo ty hoe: Aa! ry talè, ndra, Aa! ty enge’e!
Therefore this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, my brother!' or 'Woe, my sister!' They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, master!' or 'Woe, majesty!'
19 Ie haleveñe am-pandeveñam-borìke ao ho kozozoteñe vaho havokovoko alafe’ o lalam-bei’ Ierosalaime ao.
He will be buried with a donkey's burial, dragged away and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Mionjona mb’e Libanone naho mikoiakoiaha, poñafo e Basane añe ty fiarañanaña’o; vaho mangololoiha e Abarime añe fa fonga demoke o sakeza’oo.
Go up Lebanon's mountains and shout. Lift your voice in Bashan. Shout from the Abarim mountains, for all of your friends will be destroyed.
21 Nivolañe ama’o raho ami’ty firaoraoa’o fa hoe rehe, Zaho tsy hitsanoñe, sata’o tamy naha ajalahy azoy ty tsy nañaoñe ty feoko.
I spoke to you when you were safe, but you said, 'I will not listen.' This was your custom since your youth, for you have not listened to my voice.
22 Ho faopaohe’ i tiokey ze mpiara’o iaby, le homb’ ampandrohizañe añe o sakeza’oo; vaho ho meñare’o naho salare’o ze fonga haratia’o.
The wind will shepherd away all your shepherds, and your friends will go into captivity. Then you will certainly be ashamed and humiliated by all of your evil deeds.
23 Ry mpimoneñe e Libanone ao, mpikafitse amo mendorave’eo, akore ty fatariha’o naho mivovo ama’o o fikoritahañe manahake ty fitsongoan’ ampela.
You who live in 'Lebanon,' who is nestled in cedar buildings, how you will be pitied when the labor pains come upon you, pain like that of a woman in labor!”
24 Kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà, Ndra te nibangem-pitombok’ an- tañan-kavanako eo t’i Koniaho ana’ Iehoiakime, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, le ho nasintako amako,
“As I live—this is Yahweh's declaration—even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on my right hand, I would tear you off.
25 vaho ho natoloko am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’oo, eka! am-pità’ o ihembaña’oo, toe am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, vaho am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio.
For I have given you to the hand of the ones seeking your life and to the hand of those before whom you are afraid, even to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans.
26 Le hahifiko mb’an-tane tsy nisamaha’o añe, ihe naho ty rene’o nahatoly azo; le añe ty hihomaha’o.
I will throw you and your mother who bore you into another land, a country where you were not born, and there you will die.
27 Fe i tane salalae’ iereo himpoliañey, tsy himpolia’ iereo ka.
About this land to which they will want to return, they will not come back here.
28 Ondaty sirikaeñe hao ty Koniaho, sinihara jeñake? Karabiba tsy paiañe? Akore te nariañe añe, ie naho o amori’eo, mb’an-tane tsy fohi’ iareo?
Is this a despised and shattered vessel? Is this man Jehoiachin a pot that pleases no one? Why have they thrown him and his descendants out, and have poured them out into a land that they did not know?
29 O ry tane, ry tane, ry tane! Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
Land, Land, Land! Hear the word of Yahweh!
30 Hoe t’Iehovà: Sokiro tsy ho aman’anake t’indaty tia, ondaty tsy hiraorao añ’andro’e; amy t’ie tsy ho aman-dahilahy o tiri’eo ze hierañe am-piambesa’e, am-piambesa’ i Davide eo, ndra hifehe e Iehodà ao.
Yahweh says this, 'Write about this man Jehoiachin: He will be childless. He will not prosper during his days, and no one among his descendants will achieve success or ever again sit on David's throne and rule over Judah.'”
