Jeremiah 4

Raha hiverina ianao, ry Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, dia ho amiko no hiverenanao, ary raha hanaisotra ny fahavetavetanao tsy ho eo imasoko ianao, dia tsy hivezivezy foana,
If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
Fa hianiana amin'ny hitsiny sy ny rariny ary ny fahamarinana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia Izy no holazain'ny firenena ho fahasambarany, ary Izy no ho reharehany.
And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah amin'ny Joda sy Jerosalema: Hevoy ny tombamborakareo, fa aza mamafy amin'ny tsilo.
For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Miforà ho an'i Jehovah ianareo, eny, forao ny fonareo, ry Joda sy ry mponina any Jerosalema! Fandrao hiseho toy ny afo ny fahatezerako noho ny faharatsian'ny ataonareo ka hirehitra, sady tsy hisy hamono azy.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Ambaraonareo ao amin'ny Joda, ary torio ao Jerosalema, ka ataovy hoe: Tsofy ao amin'ny tany ny anjomara; Miantsoantsoa mafy, ka ataovy hoe: Mivoria ianareo, ka andeha isika hiditra amin'ny tanàna mimanda.
Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
Manangàna faneva manandrify an'i Ziona; Mandosira faingana, aza mijanona; Fa Izaho hahatonga loza sy fandringanana be avy any avaratra.
Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Misy liona miakatra avy any anaty kirihitrala, ary ilay mpanimba ny firenena dia efa miainga, efa mivoaka avy amin'ny fitoerany hahafoana ny taninao, ary hahalao ny tanànanao, ka tsy hisy mponina.
The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Ary noho izany dia misikìna lamba fisaonana ianareo, ka mitomania sy midradradradrà; Fa ny firehetan'ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah tsy afaka amintsika.
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Ary amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho very hevitra ny mpanjaka sy ny lehibe, ary ho kepoka ny mpisorona, sy ho gaga ny mpaminany.
And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Dia hoy izaho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! Efa nofitahinao tokoa ity firenena ity sy Jerosalema tamin'ny nanaovanao hoe: Hisy fiadanana ho anareo; Kanjo mihatra amin'ny aina ny sabatra.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Amin'izany andro izany dia holazaina amin'ity firenena ity sy Jerosalema hoe: Hisy rivo-mahamay avy any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady any an-efitra hankamin'ny oloko zanakavavy, kanefa tsy hikororohana na hanadiovana.
At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Dia ho tonga avy amiko izay rivotra mahery noho ireny; Ary ankehitriny Izaho kosa hifandahatra aminy.
Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
Indro, avy toy ny rahona izy, Ary tahaka ny tadio ny kalesiny, faingana noho ny voromahery ny soavaliny; Lozantsika! fa lany ringana isika.
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Ry Jerosalema, sasao ny fonao ho afaka amin'ny ratsy, mba hovonjena ianao! Mandra-pahoviana no hitoeran'ny hevi-dratsinao ao am-ponao?
O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Fa injany! misy feo manambara avy any Dana sy filazam-pahoriana avy amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima,
For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Lazaonareo amin'ny firenena, torio amin'i Jerosalema hoe: Misy mpanao fahirano avy any an-tany lavitra ka manakora hamely ny tanànan'ny Joda.
Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Manodidina azy ireo toy ny fanaon'ny mpiandry saha, fa efa niodina tamiko izy, hoy Jehovah.
As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
Ny alehanao sy ny asanao no nahatonga izany taminao; Izany no faharatsianao, eny, mangidy izany sady mihatra amin'ny ainao.
Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Endrey ny kiboko! Endrey izany kiboko! Manaintaina aho; Endrey! mila ho triatra izany ny foko! Mitoloko ny foko, ka tsy mahay mangina aho; Fa ny feon'anjomara sy ny akoran'ady dia renao, ry fanahiko.
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Fandravana mifanontona no ambara, rava ny tany rehetra; Rava tampoka ny laiko, eny, rava indray mipi-maso monja ny ambain-daiko.
Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
Mandra-pahoviana re no mbola hijereko ny faneva sy handrenesako ny feon'anjomara?
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Fa adala ny oloko, Izaho tsy mba fantany; Zaza tsy misy saina izy sady tsy manam-pahalalana; Raha ny hanao ratsy, dia hendry izy; Fa ny hanao soa kosa tsy fantany.
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Nojereko ny tany, ka, indro, tsy nisy endrika izy sady foana, ary ny lanitra koa, ka, indro, tsy nanam-pahazavana izy;
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Nojereko ny tendrombohitra, ka, indro, nihorohoro izy, ary ny havoana rehetra nihozongozona;
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Nojereko, ka, indro, tsy nisy olona, ary ny voro-manidina rehetra efa nandositra;
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Nojereko, ka, indro, ny saha mahavokatra aza efa tonga efitra, ary ny tanànany rehetra dia rava teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, dia teo anoloan'ny firehetan'ny fahatezerany.
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Ho lao ny tany rehetra, nefa tsy dia holevoniko avokoa izy.
For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Noho izany dia hisaona ny tany, ary ho tonga mainty ny lanitra ambony, satria efa niteny izany Aho, sady efa nikasa izany ka tsy hanenina na hanatsoaka izany.
For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Noho ny fihorakoraky ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly sy ny mpandefa tsipìka dia efa mandositra avokoa ny tanàna rehetra; Mitsofoka any anatin'ny kirihitrala sy mananika ny vatolampy izy; Lao avokoa ny tanàna rehetra, ka tsy misy mponina intsony ao.
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Ary hanao ahoana ianao, ry ilay rava? Na dia miakanjo jaky aza ianao, na dia miravaka volamena aza ianao, na dia hosoranao loko mainty aza ny masonao, foana ny itadiavanao hahatsara tarehy anao; Hanifika anao ireo lehilahy tia anao, ka ny ainao aza no hotadiaviny.
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Fa efa nandre feo Aho tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka sy fidridridridriana tahaka ny vehivavy izay vao miteraka ny matoany, dia ny feon'i Ziona zanakavavy, izay misefosefo sady mamelatra ny tànany ka manao hoe: Lozako! Fa reraka ny aiko azon'ireo mpamono olona.
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
