Jeremia 6
1 Hianareo, zanak’ i Benjamina, mandosira faingana hiala an’ i Jerosalema, ary tsofy ao Tekoa ny anjomara, ka manaova tsangan’ afo ao Beti-hakerema; Fa misy loza sy fandringanana be miposaka avy any avaratra.
"Flee for safety, you people of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
2 Ziona zanakavavy dia ampitoviko amin’ ny fiandrasan-ondry misy ahitra milenodenoka.
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3 Ao aminy no alehan’ ny mpiandry sy ny ondry; Haoriny manodidina azy ny lainy, ka samy handany ny ao akaikiny avy izy.
Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place."
4 Mitaova ianareo hanao ady masìna hamelezana azy; Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiakatra antoandro. Lozantsika! fa lasan-davitra ny andro, ka efa mandroso ny aloky ny hariva.
"Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us. For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hanao latsak’ alina, ary aoka horavantsika ny trano-beny.
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
6 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Kapao ny hazo, ary manandrata tovon-tany hamelezana an’ i Jerosalema; Io ilay tanàna hovaliana, feno fampahoriana ny ao anatiny.
For YHWH of hosts said, "Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in the midst of her.
7 Toy ny loharano mampiboiboika ny ranony no ampiboiboihany ny faharatsiany; An-keriny sy fandravana no re ao aminy; Eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny faharariana sy ny faharatrana.
As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
8 Minoa anatra ianao, ry Jerosalema, fandrao miombotra miala aminao ny fanahiko, ary fandrao hataoko tany lao ianao, dia tany tsy honenana.
Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited."
9 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hotsimponina fatratra toy ny fitsimpona voaloboka izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely; Avereno ho amin’ ny sakeliny ny tananao toy ny mpioty voaloboka.
Thus says YHWH of hosts, "They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Pass your hand again as a grape gatherer into the baskets."
10 Iza no hilazako sy hanariko mba handrenesany? Indro, ny sofiny dia tsy voafora, ka tsy mahahaino izy; He! tsatsoiny ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka tsy ankamaminy.
To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Look, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Look, the word of YHWH has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah mahafeno ahy ka tsy zakako tsindriana intsony! Aidino amin’ ny ankizy madinika eny an-dalambe sy amin’ ny fiokoan’ ny zatovo izany; Fa na lehilahy na vehivavy dia hosamborina avokoa, ary ny anti-panahy mbamin’ ny ela niainana koa;
Therefore I am full of the wrath of YHWH. I am weary with holding in. "Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 Ary ho lasan’ ny sasany ny tranony mbamin’ ny sahany sy ny vehivavy koa; Fa hahinjitro amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany ny tanako, hoy Jehovah,
Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land," says YHWH.
13 Satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena avokoa; Na ny mpaminany na ny mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
"For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace.' when there is no peace.
15 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 hamaliako azy dia ho tafintohina izy, hoy Jehovah.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down," says YHWH.
16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mijanona eo an-dalana ianareo, ka izahao, ary anontanio izay lalana masaka hatry ny ela. Dia izay lalana mankany amin’ ny tsara, ka iny no izory, dia hahita fitsaharana ho an’ ny fanahinareo ianareo; Nefa hoy izy: Tsy hizotra izahay.
Thus says YHWH, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, 'Where is the good way?' and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." But they said, "We will not walk in it."
17 Ary nasiako mpitily ianareo hanao hoe: Henoy ny feon’ ny anjomara! Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy hihaino izahay.
"I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet.'" But they said, "We will not listen."
18 Koa henoinareo, ry jentilisa, ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry fiangonana, ny hanjo azy.
"Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what will happen to them.
19 Henoy, ry tany! Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity firenena ity, dia ny vokatry ny heviny ihany; Fa tsy nihaino ny teniko izy, ary nolaviny ny lalàko.
Hear, earth. 'Look, I will bring disaster on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 Nahoana no itondrana ditin-kazo mani-pofona avy any Sheba Aho sy veromanitra avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra? Tsy sitrako ny fanatitra doranareo, ary tsy mamiko ny zavatra vonoinareo hatao fanatitra.
To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.'
21 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro hasiako fahatafintohinana eo amin’ ity firenena ity, ka dia samy ho tafintohina amin’ izany ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany; Ho faty ny olona mbamin’ ny namany.
Therefore thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.'
22 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, misy firenena avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, dia firenena lehibe mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany;
"Thus says YHWH, 'Look, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 Tsipika sy lefona no entiny, lozabe sady tsy mamindra fo izy; Ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamelezana anao, ry Ziona zanakavavy.
They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'"
24 Efa renay ny lazany, ka miraviravy tanana izahay; Fahoriana no mahazo anay, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
"We have heard its report; our hands become feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 Aza mivoaka ho any an-tsaha, ary aza mandeha amin’ ny lalambe; Fa manan-tsabatra ny fahavalo, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina.
Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror, are on every side."
26 Ry oloko zanakavavy, misikìna lamba fisaonana ianao, ary mihosena lavenona, ka manaova fisaonana toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana, dia fitomaniana fatratra; Fa ho avy tampoka amintsika ny mpandringana.
"Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes. Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us."
27 Ho mpizaha toetra ao amin’ ny oloko no nanendreko anao, dia ho fiarovana mafy, mba ho fantatrao sy hizahanao toetra ny alehany.
"I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way."
28 Tena maditra avokoa izy rehetra ka mandehandeha manaratsy, varahina sy vy izy; Samy mpanao ratsy avokoa izy rehetra.
"They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
29 May ny tafoforana, levon’ ny afo ny firaka, foana ny nandrendrehan’ ny mpandrendrika, fa tsy voaisotra ny ratsy.
The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Ataon’ ny olona hoe, volafotsy tsy lany izy, satria tsy lanin’ i Jehovah.
Men will call them 'rejected silver,' because YHWH has rejected them."
