Jeremiah 6

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.

O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth–haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

Ziona zanakavavy dia ampitoviko amin'ny fiandrasan-ondry misy ahitra milenodenoka.

I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.

Ao aminy no alehan'ny mpiandry sy ny ondry; Haoriny manodidina azy ny lainy, ka samy handany ny ao akaikiny avy izy.

The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.

Mitaova ianareo hanao ady masina hamelezana azy; Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiakatra antoandro. Lozantsika! fa lasan-davitra ny andro, ka efa mandroso ny aloky ny hariva.

Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hanao latsak'alina, ary aoka horavantsika ny trano-beny.

Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

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 thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

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 fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

Minoa anatra ianao, ry Jerosalema, fandrao miombotra miala aminao ny fanahiko, ary fandrao hataoko tany lao ianao, dia tany tsy honenana.

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

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 saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

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 give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

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 fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

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,

And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.

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 the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

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 the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

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? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

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 saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Ary nasiako mpitily ianareo hanao hoe: Henoy ny feon'ny anjomara! Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy hihaino izahay.

Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

Koa henoinareo, ry jentilisa, ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry fiangonana, ny hanjo azy.

Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

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, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

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 cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

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 saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

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 shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.

Efa renay ny lazany, ka miraviravy tanana izahay; Fahoriana no mahazo anay, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.

We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

Aza mivoaka ho any an-tsaha, ary aza mandeha amin'ny lalambe; Fa manan-tsabatra ny fahavalo, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina.

Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

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.

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

Ho mpizaha toetra ao amin'ny oloko no nanendreko anao, dia ho fiarovana mafy, mba ho fantatrao sy hizahanao toetra ny alehany.

I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.

Tena maditra avokoa izy rehetra ka mandehandeha manaratsy, varahina sy vy izy; Samy mpanao ratsy avokoa izy rehetra.

They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

May ny tafoforana, levon'ny afo ny firaka, foana ny nandrendrehan'ny mpandrendrika, fa tsy voaisotra ny ratsy.

The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

Ataon'ny olona hoe, volafotsy tsy lany izy, satria tsy lanin'i Jehovah.

Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
