< Jeremiah 13 >

1 The LORD said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.”
Hoe t’Iehovà amako: Akia, mikaloa sokotry lande, le sadiaño, vaho ko alo’o an-drano.
2 So I bought a belt according to the LORD’s word, and put it on my waist.
Aa le nivily sokotry raho ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, vaho nadiako.
3 The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying,
Nomb’ amako fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
4 “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
Endeso i sokotry vinili’oy, o an-toha’oo, le miongaha, akia mb’e Perate añe vaho akafiro an-tseran-damilamy ao.
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Aa le nimb’ eo raho nañetak’ aze e Pe­rate ao amy nandilia’ Iehovày.
6 After many days, the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.”
Ie añe ty andro maro, le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Miongaha, akia mb’e Perate mb’eo vaho rambeso i sokotry nililiako haetak’aoy.
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
Aa le nimb’e Perate mb’eo raho vaho hinaliko naho rinambeko amy nañetahakoy i sokotriy; naheoko t’ie nianto, tsy vara ka.
8 Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
9 “The LORD says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Hambañe amy zay ty hamongorako ty fiebora’ Iehodà, naho ty firengevoha’ Ierosalaime,
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
ondaty lo-tsereke retoañe, o mifoneñe tsy hijanjiñe o volakoo, o manjotik’ ami’ty fanjeharan’arofo’eo, naho mañorike ndrahare ila’e hitoroña’e naho hitalahoa’e; aa le hifandrae ami’ty sokotry toy iereo, ie tsy vente’e.
11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’
Fa hambañe ami’ty fidiañañe ty sokotry an-toha’ondaty, ty nampidiañako amako ty anjomba’ Israele iaby, naho ze hene anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà, soa te ho amako iereo, h’ondaty naho tahinañe, naho engeñe, vaho volonahetse; f’ie mihiritsiritse avao.
12 “Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’
Atovoño am’ iereo o tsara zao: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Songa ho peañen-divay o zonjoñeo. Le ie manao ty hoe iereo: Aa tsy apota’ay hao te sindre hatsafen-divay o zonjoñeo?
13 Then tell them, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Le hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo ho liporeko hamamoañe ze hene mpimone’ ty tane toy: o mpanjaka miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davideo, naho o mpisoroñeo, naho o mpitokio, vaho o mpimone’ Israele iabio.
14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the LORD: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.”’”
Ho ifampidosieko iereo, o roaeo amo ana’eo, hoe’ t’Iehovà; tsy hiheveako, tsy ho tretrezeko, tsy ho ferenaiñeko; te mone ho rotsaheko.
15 Hear, and give ear. Don’t be proud, for the LORD has spoken.
Mijanjiña naho manolora ravembia, ko mibohaboha; fa nitsara t’Iehovà.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.
Toloro engeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, aolo’ ty firoña’e ho maieñe, aolo te mitsikapy an-tongoa-vohitse eo o fandia’ areoo, le ie mipay hazavàñe nahareo ro hafote’e ho talinjon-kavilasy, ie hampimoromoroñe’e.
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
Fe naho tsy mañaoñe nahareo, le hiharovetse añ’etake ty troko ty amy firengevohañe zay; higanaganaham-pangololoihañe o masokoo, vaho hikararake o rano-masokoo, amy te nasese an-drohy añe i lia-rai’ Iehovày.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your crowns have come down, even the crown of your glory.
Taroño amy mpanjakay naho amy mpanjaka-ampelay ty hoe: Mitoboha ambane, fa nazetse o sabakan’enge’ areo fanjakao.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is no one to open them. Judah is carried away captive: all of them. They are wholly carried away captive.
Migabeñe o rova atimoo, vaho tsy eo ty hanokake iareo; songa nasese am-pandrohizañe t’Iehodà; sindre nendeseñ’ añe an-drohy.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?
Ampiandrao o fihaino’oo, isaho o mb’etoy boak’ avaratse eio; aia i lia-raike natolots’ azoy, i lia-rai’o fanjakay?
21 What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
Ino ty hatao’o naho tendre’e ho ambone’ lohà’o o nirañe’o taoloo; o naò’oo? Tsy hamihiñe azo hao ty fikoretañe hoe fitsongoan’ ampela?
22 If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer violence.
Aa naho atao’o an-tro’o ao ty hoe: Ino ty nifetsaha’ iretoañe amako? Ty habei’ hakeo’o ty nañaloañe i siki’oy, naho ty maha tsi-an-kana o tomi’oo.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Mahay mañova ty holi’e hao ty nte-Kose, ndra i hapepoa’ey ty fosa? Aa naho mete zay, le ho lefe’areo mpanao ratio ka ty hanao soa.
24 “Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Aa le hampiboeleko iereo manahake ty karafo ampihelaña’ i tion-dratraratray.
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
Toe toli’o toy, ty nañaranako ama’o, hoe t’Iehovà; amy te nihaliñe’o raho, vaho niatoa’o ty remborake.
26 Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame will appear.
Aa le hatsingako ambone’ lahara’o eo o siki’oo hampiboake ty fimeñara’o.
27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”
Fa nitreako o hativa’oo: ty fifandrañaota’o, ty fitrem-pitsinginiora’o, ty haleoran-kakarapiloa’o, amo tamboho an-kivoke eio, nitreako o hativà’oo. Hankàñe ama’o, ry Ierosalaime, ampara’ te ombia t’ie mbe haleotse?
