< Jeremiah 8 >

1 “At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hofongarina avy ao am-pasana ny taolan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny taolan’ ny lehibeny sy ny taolan’ ny mpisorona sy ny taolan’ ny mpaminany ary ny taolan’ ny mponina any Jerosalema,
2 They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
ka haeliny eo anatrehan’ ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra, izay efa tiany sy notompoiny sy efa narahiny sy efa notadiaviny ary efa niankohofany teo anatrehany: tsy hangonina na halevina intsony ireny, fa hatao zezika eny ambonin’ ny tany.
3 Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Ary ny sisa rehetra amin’ ity taranaka ratsy ity, izay mbola sisa any amin’ ny tany rehetra nandroahako azy, dia haniry ny ho faty noho ny ho velona, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
4 “Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
Ary koa, lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ho lavo va ny olona ka tsy hiarina? Hihodina hivily va ny olona ka tsy hitodika hiverina?
5 Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
Nahoana ity firenena eto Jerosalema ity no miodina amin’ ny fiodinana tsy mety mitsahatra? Mikikitra mafy amin’ ny fitaka izy ka tsy mety miverina.
6 I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Nihaino Aho, ka nandre, fa manao teny tsy marina izy: Ary tsy misy manenina ny amin’ ny haratsiany hoe: Endrey izany nataoko izany! Izy rehetra dia samy mivily mankamin’ ny alehany avy tahaka ny soavaly miriotra ho amin’ ny ady.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
Na dia ny vano eny amin’ ny lanitra aza dia mahalala ny fotoan’ androny, ary ny domohina sy ny sidintsidina ary ny vanobe koa samy mitandrina ny fotoana fihaviany; Fa ny oloko kosa tsy mba mahalala ny fitsipik’ i Jehovah.
8 “‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
Ahoana no anaovanareo hoe: Hendry izahay, ary ato aminay ny lalàn’ i Jehovah? Nefa ny fanoratan-daingan’ ny mpanoratra mahatonga azy ho lainga.
9 The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
Mahazo henatra ny hendry, raiki-tahotra sy voasambotra izy; Indro, ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia nolaviny, ka inona intsony no fahendrena ananany?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
Ary noho izany dia homeko ho an’ ny sasany ny vadiny, ary ny sahany ho an’ izay maka azy, satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena, na mpaminany na mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
Nomenarina izy noho ny nanaovany fahavetavetana, nefa tsy mba menatra akory izy, ary tsy mba valahara; Koa ho lavo ao amin’ izay lavo izy, amin’ ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho tafintohina izy, ho Jehovah.
13 “‘I will utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from them.’”
Hakifako tokoa izy, hoy Jehovah; Tsy mamoa ny voaloboka, ary tsy misy voany ny aviavy, malazo ny raviny; Ary nanendry izay hanafika azy Aho.
14 “Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Nahoana isika no mbola mipetra-poana? Mivoria ianareo, ka andeha isika hiditra any an-tanàna mimanda, ka dia ho faty ao; fa Jehovah Andriamanitra efa nanendry antsika ho faty ka nanome rano mangidy hosotrointsika Noho ny nanotantsika tamin’ i Jehovah.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
Nanantena fiadanana isika, kanjo tsy nahita soa; Ary andro fanasitranana, fa indro fampitahorana.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
Ny fiefonefon’ ny soavaly dia re hatrany Dana: Mihorohoro ny tany rehetra noho ny fanenon’ ny soavaly matanjaka; Fa avy izy ka mandany ny tany mbamin’ ny izay rehetra ao aminy, dia ny tanàna sy izay monina ao.
17 “For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
Fa indro Aho handefa bibilava hamely anareo, dia menarana izay tsy azon’ ody, ka hanaikitra anareo ireny, hoy Jehovah.
18 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
Indrisy! enga anie ka hisy fahamiramiranana ho ahy eto amin’ ny alaheloko, fa reraka ny foko ato anatiko.
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t the LORD in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
Injany! misy feo fitarainan’ ny oloko zanakavavy hatrany amin’ ny tany lavitra hoe: Moa Jehovah tsy ao Ziona va? Ary tsy ao aminy va ny Mpanjakany? Nahoana no nahatezitra Ahy ireny tamin’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ao aminy sy tamin’ ny zava-poana avy amin’ ny firenena hafa?
20 “The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
Lasa ny fararano, tapitra ny taom-piotazana, nefa tsy voavonjy isika.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
Torotoro aho noho ny fahatorotoroan’ ny oloko zanakavavy; Misaona aho, ary horohoro no mahazo ahy.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Moa tsy misy balsama va any Gileada? Moa tsy misy dokotera va any? Koa nahoana no tsy tanteraka ny fanasitranana ny oloko zanakavavy?
