Jeremiah 18

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Izao no teny tonga tamin'i Jeremia avy tamin'i Jehovah:

Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

Mitsangàna, ka midina ho any amin'ny tranon'ny mpanefy tanimanga, ary any no hampandrenesako anao ny teniko.

Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

Dia nidina tany amin'ny tranon'ny mpanefy tanimanga aho, ary, indro, nanao ny asany teo amin'ny ankodina fanaovana izy.

And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Ary raha simba ny vilany ataony araka izay mazàna miseho amin'ny tanimanga eny an-tànan'ny mpanefy dia ataony vilany hafa indray, araka izay tian'ny mpanefy tanimanga hanaovana azy.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah hoe :

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Moa tsy mahazo manao aminareo toy ny ataon'ity mpanefy tanimanga ity va Aho, ry taranak'i Isiraely? hoy Jehovah. Indro, toy ny tanimanga eo an-tanan'ny mpanefy azy, dia toy izany ianareo eo an-tanako, ry taranak'Isiraely.

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

Vetivety Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana hongotako sy hazerako ary horavako;

If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Nefa raha miala amin'ny ratsy izany firenena noteneniko izany, dia hanenenako kosa ny loza izay nokasaiko hamelezako azy.

And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

Ary vetivety kosa Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana haoriko sy hamboleko;

If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Nefa raha manao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka tsy mihaino ny feoko, dia hanenenako kosa ny soa izay nolazaiko hanasoavako azy.

Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

Koa amin'izany, lazao amin'ny Joda sy amin'ny mponina eto Jerosalema hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho mamorona loza hihatra aminareo ary mihevitra izay hamelezako anareo; Koa samia miala amin'ny lalany ratsy avy ianareo, ary ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo.

And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

Nefa hoy ireo: Kivy izahay izany! Fa mbola hanaraka ny hevitray ihany izahay, eny, samy hanao araka ny ditry ny fo ratsinay avy izahay rehetra.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.

Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: anontanio any amin'ny jentilisa hoe: Iza no nandre zavatra toy izany? Zavatra mahatsiravina indrindra no nataon'Isiraely virijina.

Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

Hitsahatra tsy ho eo amin'ny vatolampy any an-tsaha va ny oram-panalan'i Libanona, ary mety ho ritra va ny rano maria sady mangatsiaka avy amin'ny tany hafa?

Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

Fa efa nanadino Ahy ny oloko, ka ho an'ny sampy no nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Ary nanafintohina azy teo amin'ny lalany ireny; dia ny lalana fahagola, handehanany amin'ny sakeli-dalana madinika, dia amin'ny lalana tsy voavoatra,

To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

Mba hahatonga ny taniny ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra mandrakizay; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga sy hihifikifi-doha.

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

Toy ny fampielin'ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no hampielezako azy eo anoloan'ny fahavalony; Hiamboho azy Aho, fa tsy hanatrika azy, amin'ny andro hahitany loza.

Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Dia hoy ny olona: Andeha isika hihevitra izay hamelezana an'i Jeremia; fa tsy ho tapaka tsy akory ny lalàna avy amin'ny mpisorona, na ny saina avy amin'ny hendry, na ny teny avy amin'ny mpaminany. Aoka ny vavantsika ho enti-mamely azy, ary aoka tsy hohenointsika akory izay teniny.

Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

Mihainoa ahy, Jehovah ô; Ary mihainoa ny tenin'izay miady amiko

Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

Ratsy va no havaly ny soa? Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy ireo. Tsarovy ny nitsanganako teo anatrehanao nitaraina ho azy hampiala ny fahatezeranao aminy.

Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

Koa aoka ho mosarena ny zanany, ary atolory ho amin'ny herin'ny sabatra izy, ka ho foana anaka ny vadiny sady ho tonga mpitondratena; Ary aoka ny lehilahy lehibe aminy haripaky ny aretina, ary ny zatovony ho fatin-tsabatra amin'ny ady.

Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

Aoka hisy fidradradradrana ho re ao an-tranony, raha mitondra miaramila iray toko any aminy tampoka Hianao; Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy izy sady nanafim-pandrika haningorana ny tongotro.

Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mahalala ny fisainana rehetra ataony hamelezany ahy ho faty; Aza avela ny helony; Ary aza vonoina tsy ho eo imasonao ny fahotany, fa aoka ho solafaka eo anatrehanao izy; Mameleza azy amin'ny andro fahatezeranao.
