Jeremiah 2
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
Akia mikoiha an-dravembia’ Ierosalaime ao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: tiahiko ty hatea’ i hatora’oy, ty fikokoa’o, ihe nienga-vao; i fireketa’o amako an-dratraratray an-tane mboe tsy nitongisañe añe.
3 Israel [was] holiness unto the LORD, the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
Niavake am’ Iehovà t’Israele, ty lohavoan-kavokara’e; hanan-kakeo ze mampibotseke ama’e hankàñe ty hizò iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry anjomba’ Iakobe, naho ry hene fifokoan’anjomba’ Israele;
5 thus saith the LORD, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
Hoe t’Iehovà: Ino ty tsi-havañonañe nizoe’ o roae’ areoo amako, kanao nihankaña’e, naho nañorike ty tsy jefa’e, vaho nifotsake ho kafoake?
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt; that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?
Mbore tsy nanao ty hoe iereo: Aia t’Iehovà nanese antika niakatse an-tane Mitsraime, niranga i fatram-beiy, i tanen-diolio naho koboñey, i tanem-paosa an-talinjon-kavilasiy, tane mb’e lia’e tsy nitsahe ‘ondaty, vaho tsy fimoneña’ ty ana’ ondaty.
7 And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
Nendesako mb’an-tane mamokatse, hikama’ areo ty hasoa’e; fa ie nizilik’ ao te mone tiniva’ areo i tanekoy, vaho vineta’ areo i lovakoy.
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
Tsy nanao ty hoe o mpisoroñeo: Aia t’Iehovà? Namoea’ o mpamandroñe Hàke iabio raho, nandilatse ahy o mpiarakeo, nitoky añamy Baale o mpitokio, vaho nañorike raha tsy vara.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead.
Aa le hiatreatreako, hoe t’Iehovà, vaho hatreatrèko o anan’ana’ areoo.
10 For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing.
Mitsahà mb’an-tokonosen’ te-Kitìmeo añe naho mandrendreha naho ampañitrifo mb’e Kedare mb’eo vaho mitsoeha, hera ho oni’ areo te fa teo, o hoe zao:
11 Hath a nation changed [their] gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Tane aia ty nañova o ‘ndrahare’eo, ie toe ‘ndrahare tsie avao? fe nasolo’ ondatiko raha tsy manjofake ty enge’ iareo.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
Ilatsao ry likerañeo, minevenevèra naho mijehàra, hoe t’Iehovà.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Nanao hakeo roe ondatikoo: Nifarie’ iareo raho, i Rano Veloñe migoangoañey, hihalia’iareo kadaha, kadaha señake tsy mahatan-drano.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn [slave]? why is he become a prey?
Ondevo hao t’Israele? Fetrek’oro hao? Aa le ino ty idohirañ’ aze?
15 The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled: and they have made his land waste; his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
Fa nitroñe ama’e o liona tora’eo, nipoña-peo hampangoakoak’ i tane’ey, kòake iaby o rova’eo, tsy amam-pimoneñe.
16 The children also of Noph and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head.
Hinara’ o ana’ i Nofe naho i Tak’penkeseo ty hevo’o.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
Tsy zao hao ty tali’ i raha zay, te naforintse’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, i niaolo azo amy lalañeiy.
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
Ino mb’arè ty atao’o an-dalam-b’e Mitsraime añe, hitohoke ty ranon-tSikore hao? Ino ka ty hanoe’o an-dalañe mb’e Asore mb’eo, he hitrinike i ranon-tSàkay hao?
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Ty halò-tsere’o avao ty hitrevok’ azo, naho hañendak’ azo ty fidisa-voli’o; mahaoniña arè, vaho mahaisaha te raha raty naho mafaitse ty fitsambolitio’o an’ Andrianañahare’o, naho te tsy ama’o ty fañeveñañe Amako, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy.
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot.
Fa pinozako haehae ty joka’o, rinafadrafako o vahotseo, le hoe rehe: Tsy ho toroñeko, te mone nandrea’o vaho nanao hakarapiloañe ambone’ ze hene haboañe naho ambane’ ze fonga hatae mandrevake
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
Ie naketsako am-bahem-panjàka, toe am-boa’e soa do’e; inom-barè ty nifotera’o ho hatae tsy jefa’e, ho vahe alik’amako?
22 For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
Aa ndra te ihe mikitroñe an-kilìny, vaho milipotse an-tsavony ao, mboe komatrao amako o tahi’oo, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà.
23 How canst thou say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: [thou art] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
Aa vaho ino ty atao’o ty hoe: Tsy aman-kila raho, zaho tsy nihitrike mb’amo Baaleo? Isao ty sata’o am-bavatane ao, mahafohina o anoe’oo; kiloan-drameva malisa rehe, manivalativala o lala’eo;
24 a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
tamanam-birike lý zatse am-patrañe ao, mañantson-tioke am-pañirian-tro’e, ia ty mahafikalañe i fitongoña’ey? Tsy ho mokotse ty mipay aze, ho oni’ iareo amy fivola’ey.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
Tano o fandia’oo tsy ho afa-kana, ty tretra’o tsy haran-drano; fe hoe rehe: Tsy aman-ko tamaeñe, Aiy! amy te nikoko ambahiny raho, le tsy mete tsy heañeko.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;
Hambañe ami’ty hasalara’ ty mpikizo, ie tendreke, ty hameñara’ ty anjomba’ Israele: ie naho o mpanjaka’eo, o roandria’eo, o mpisoro’eo, vaho o mpitoki’eo.
27 which say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
Ie manao ami’ty hatae ty hoe: Raeko rehe, naho ami’ty vato: Ihe ty niterak’ ahy, toe nampiatre-boho amako iereo fa tsy ty laharañe; fe an-tsa maha am-poheke ro hanoa’iareo ty hoe: Miongaha, rombaho zahay.
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
Aia heike o ‘ndrahare tsinene’o ho azoo? Angao hiongake iereo, naho mete handrombak’ azo an-tsan-kankà’o ao; fa mira ami’ty hamaro’ o rova’oo ty ndrahare’o, ry Iehodà.
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
Akore t’ie miatreatre ahiko? Ie fonga nanao hakeo amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Tsy jefa’e ty nandafàko o ana’ areoo, ie tsy mete avohotse; toe nabotsem-pibara’ areo o mpitoki’areoo, hoe namotsahan-diona.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?
Ry tariratseo, inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Nifatram-bey am’ Israele hao raho? ndra tane migobon-kaiem-bey? Ino ty atao’ ondatikoo ty hoe: Votsotse zahay; tsy homb’ama’o ka?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Handikofa’ ty somondrara hao o rava’eo, ndra ty enga-vao o saro’eo? Fe haliño’ ondatikoo andro tsy fotofoto raho.
33 How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways.
Ino ty ihamina’o ty lalam-pipaia’o koko? Toe nanare’o amo sata-rati’oo ka o kalalijakeo.
34 Also, in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: I have not found it at the place of breaking in, but upon all these.
Mbore oniñe an-jipo’o ao ty liom-piai’ o rarake vañoñeo; tsy nirendre’o t’ie niboroboñake ama’o; ie amy hoe rezay
35 Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
manao ty hoe: Zaho tsy aman-kakeo; fa mitolik’ amako ty haviñera’e— ingo mikai-jaka amako rehe ami’ty atao’o ty hoe: Tsy aman-tahin-draho.
36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
Ie mikanifokanifoke avao ami’ty fiovà’o lalañe; Toe ho salare’ i Mitsraime ka manahake ty hameñara’o amy Asore.
37 From him also shalt thou go forth, with thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
Boak’ atoy ty hiakara’o, taña-mitan-doha; fa napo’ Iehovà o niatoa’oo, vaho tsy hiraorao am’ iereo rehe.
