< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus says the LORD unto me, Go and get you a linen girdle, and put it upon your loins, and put it not in water.
Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Andeha mividy fehin-kibo rongony ho anao, ka ifehezo ny kibonao, fa aza atao anaty rano.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
Dia nividy fehin-kibo aho araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nifehezako ny kiboko.
3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko fanindroany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
4 Take the girdle that you have got, which is upon your loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Ento ny fehin-kibo izay novidinao, dia ilay ifehezanao ny kibonao, ka mitsangana, mankanesa any Eofrata, ary afeno ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato izy.
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Ka dia nandeha aho, ary nafeniko tao amoron’ i Eofrata izy, araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah ahy.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded you to hide there.
Ary nony afaka andro maro, dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mitsangana, ka mankanesa any Eofrata, ary alao any ny fehin-kibo, dia ilay nasaiko nafeninao tany.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was ruined, it was profitable for nothing.
Dia nankany Eofrata aho ka nihady, ary nalaiko tao amin’ ny fitoerana nanafenako azy ilay fehin-kibo; kanjo, indro, simba ny fehin-kibo ka tsy azo natao na inona na inona intsony.
8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tahaka izany no hanimbako ny avonavon’ ny Joda sy ny haben’ ny avonavon’ i Jerosalema.
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Ity firenena ratsy ity, izay tsy mety mihaino ny teniko, fa mandeha amin’ ny ditry ny fony ka manaraka andriamani-kafa mba hotompoiny sy hiankohofany, dia ho tahaka ity fehin-kibo ity, izay tsy azo atao na inona na inona intsony.
11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Fa toy ny firaikitry ny fehin-kibo amin’ ny valahan’ ny olona no nampiraiketako ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda rehetra tamiko, hoy Jehovah, mba ho olona sy anarana sy fiderana ary voninahitra ho Ahy ireny Kanjo tsy nety nihaino izy.
12 Therefore you shall speak unto them this word; Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Ary izao teny izao dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny tavoara rehetra dia feno divay; ary izy hanao aminao hoe: Moa tsy efa fantatray ihany va fa feno divay ny tavoara rehetra?
13 Then shall you say unto them, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hataoko leony ny mponina rehetra amin’ ity tany ity, dia ny mpanjaka, izay mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida, sy ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany ary ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Ary hampifamohiko izy, dia ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany, hoy Jehovah; Tsy hiantra Aho, na hitsitsy, na hamindra fo tsy handringana azy.
15 Hear all of you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
Mandrenesa ka mihainoa, aza miavonavona; Fa Jehovah no miteny.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while all of you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Manomeza voninahitra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dieny tsy mbola mahatonga ny maizina Izy, ary dieny tsy mbola tafintohina amin’ ny tendrombohitra maizimaizina ny tongotrareo, ka raha miandry ny mazava ianareo, dia hataony tonga ho aloky ny fahafatesana, ka hampodiny ho aizim-pito.
17 But if all of you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
Fa raha tsy hihaino izany ianareo. Dia hitomany any amin’ ny mangingina ny fanahiko, satria misy fiavonavonana; Eny, ny masoko hamarin-dranomaso hijononoka be, satria voababo ny ondrin’ i Jehovah.
18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
Lazao amin’ ny andriamanjaka sy ny reniny hoe: Mitombena amin’ ny tany; Fa ho afaka ny firavaka eo an-dohanareo, dia ny satro-boninahitrareo tsara tarehy.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Voarindrina ny tanàna any amin’ ny tany atsimo, ka tsy misy mamoha; Lasan-ko babo Joda, eny, lasan-ko babo avokoa izy rehetra.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
Atopazy ny masonareo, ka tazano izay avy any avaratra; Aiza ny ondry andiany izay nomena anao, dia ny ondrinao tsara tarehy?
21 What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?
Ahoana re no holazainao, raha tendreny hanapaka anao ireny sakaizanao ireny, fa ianao ihany no nampianatra azy handrafy anao? Tsy hahazo anao va ny fanaintainana toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka?
22 And if you say in your heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered, and your heels made bare.
Ary raha manao anakampo ianao hoe: ahoana no nahatonga izao tamiko? Noho ny haben’ ny helokao no nampiaingana ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao sy nandratrana ny ombelahin-tongotrao.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may all of you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Moa mahova ny hodiny va ny Etiopiana, ary ny leoparda va mahova ny sorany? Raha izany, dia mahazo manao tsara koa ianareo izay efa zatra nanao ratsy.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Koa dia haeliko izy toy ny vodivary indaosin’ ny rivotra avy any an-efitra.
25 This is your lot, the portion of your measures from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Izany no lokanao, dia anjara voarefy ho anao, hoy Jehovah, Satria nanadino Ahy ianao ka nitoky tamin’ ny lainga.
26 Therefore will I discover your skirts upon your face, that your shame may appear.
Ary Izaho kosa dia hampiainga ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao ho eny amin’ ny tavanao, mba hisehoan’ ny henatrao.
27 I have seen your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your whoredom, and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto you, O Jerusalem! will you not be made clean? when shall it once be?
Ny fijangajanganao sy ny fanenonao, ny fahavetavetan’ ny fijejojejoanao any amin’ ny havoana any an-tsaha, eny, samy efa hitako avokoa ireo fahavetavetanao ireo. Lozanao, ry Jerosalema! Mandra-pahoviana no mbola tsy hetezanao hanadio ny tenanao?
