Jeremia 17
1 Fa sinokitse am-panokiram-by ty hakeo’ Iehodà, safira masioñe ty loha’e, pinatetse an-takelan’arofo’ iareo, naho ami’ty tsifan-kitreli’ iareo eo.
“The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus having a diamond point. It is engraved on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of your altars.
2 Ie tiahi’iereo o ana’ iareoo, le ho tiahi’iareo ka ty kitreli’ iareo naho o Asere’ iareo añ’ila’ ze hatae antsetra an-kaboañe eio.
Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles that were beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.
3 O ry vohiko an-kivoke ey, hatoloko ho fikopake o fanaña’oo naho ze fonga vara’o, rekets’ o toem-pisoroña’o amo haboañe manitsike ty tane’oo.
My mountain in the open country, and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of the sin you committed in all your territories.
4 Le ihe, toe o vata’oo, ro hapitsok’ amy lova natoloko azoy; vaho hampitoroñeko o rafelahi’o an-tane tsy fohi’oo; amy te namiaña’o afo hilebaleba nainai’e ty an-doak’oroko ao,
You will lose the inheritance that I gave to you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have ignited a fire in my wrath, which will burn forever.”
5 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Fatse t’indaty miato ama’ ondaty, naho manao ty nofotse ho haozara’e, vaho misitak’ am’ Iehovà ty arofo’e.
Yahweh says, “The person who trusts in mankind is accursed; he makes flesh his strength but turns his heart away from Yahweh.
6 Ho hambañe ami’ty rongoñe an-dratraratra añe, tsy ho oni’e ty fitotsaha’ ty soa; amy t’ie himoneñe am-paimpaiñe an-diolio añe, an-tane sira tsy amam-pimoneñe.
For he will be like a small bush in the Arabah and will not see anything good coming. He will stay in the stony places in the wilderness, barren land without inhabitants.
7 Haha t’indaty miato am’Iehovà; naho Iehovà ro fiantofa’e.
But the person who trusts in Yahweh is blessed, for Yahweh is his reason for confidence.
8 Hanahake ty hatae namboleñe añ’olon-drano eo re, mamelatse o vaha’eo marine rano ao, ie tsy ho tendre-tariñandroke, fa handrevake o rave’eo; naho tsy ho mahimahin-dre an-taom-paosa, vaho le lia’e tsy hijihetse o voa’eo.
For he will be like a tree planted by water, its roots will spread out by the stream. It will not fear the heat when it comes, for its leaves are always green. It is not anxious in a year of drought, and it will not stop producing fruit.
9 Milikoatse ze he’e ty famañahia’ o arofoo, losotse ty hasilo’e— ia ty mahafohiñe aze?
The heart is more deceitful than anything else. It is sick; who can understand it?
10 Izaho Iehovà ty mpitsikarak’ arofo, mpitsò-troke, mpanambe ondatio mira amo sata’eo, tsahatse ty havokara’ o fitoloña’eo.
I am Yahweh, the one who searches through the mind, who tests the hearts. I give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
11 Hambañe amo hatrakatrake mamana anake tsy natera’eo, ty manontom-bara tsy an-kahiti’e; hieng’ aze irezay añivo’ o andro’eo, ie ho dagola ampara’e.
A partridge hatches an egg that she did not lay. Someone may become rich unjustly, but when half his days are over, those riches will abandon him, and in the end he will be a fool.”
12 Ry fiambesan-engeñe nonjoneñe tam-baloha’e añe, ry toe’ay miavakeo,
“The place of our temple is a glorious throne, elevated from the beginning.
13 ry fitamà’ Israeleo, ry Iehovà! Hene ho salatse ze mieng’Azo; ho sokireñe an-tane eo ze mivik’ ama’o, amy te naforintse’ iareo t’Iehovà, loharano veloñey.
Yahweh is the hope of Israel. All who abandon you will be put to shame; those in the land who turn away from you will be written in the earth, for they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters.
14 Afaho ry Iehovà le ho jangan-draho; rombaho vaho ho rombake; amy te Ihe ro fandrengeako.
Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed! Rescue me, and I will be rescued. For you are my song of praise.
15 Inao ty fatao’ iareo amako: Aia ty tsara’ Iehovà, ampombao mb’etoa henaneo.
See, they are saying to me, 'Where is the word of Yahweh? Let it come!'
16 Fa naho izaho, tsy nalisa hisitake ami’ty maha-piarak’ahy ama’o; tsy nirieko ka ty andron-kankàñe; arofoana’o te nalange añatrefa’o eo ze niakatse an-tsoñiko.
As for me, I did not run from being a shepherd following you. I did not long for the day of disaster. You know the proclamations that came from my lips. They were made in your presence.
17 Ko mamangebahebak’ ahy, amy te Ihe ro fipalirako añ’andron-kankàñe.
Do not be a terror to me. You are my refuge on the day of calamity.
18 Ee te ho salareñe o mampisoañe ahy, fe ko ampisalaren-draho; ee te hembereñe iereo, fe ko ampisosoren-draho, aseseo am’iereo ty andron-kekoheko, vaho rotsaho an-drotsake roe.
May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed. May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Send the day of disaster against them and shatter them with a double share of destruction.”
19 Hoe t’Iehovà amako: Akia, mijohaña an-dalambei’ o ana’ ondatio, am-piziliha’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodào naho am-piengà’ iareo eo, naho amo lalambei’ Ierosalaimeo;
Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the people where the kings of Judah enter and where they exit, then in all the other gates of Jerusalem.
20 vaho isaontsio ty hoe: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry mpanjaka’ Iehodà, naho ry Iehodà iaby, naho ry hene mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, ze fonga mimoak’ an-dalam-bey retoañe:
Say to them, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and all you people of Judah, and every resident of Jerusalem who comes in through these gates.
21 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mitaoa! ko minday entañe ami’ty andro Sabotse, naho ko mampizilike ndra inoñ’inoñe amo lalambei’ Ierosalaimeo;
Yahweh says this: “Be careful for the sake of your lives and do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it to the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Ko añakaran-kilankañe ty anjomba’o ami’ty andro Sabata, naho ko mitolon-draha, vaho avaho ty andro Sabotse, amy nandiliako aman-droae’areoy;
Do not bring a load out from your house on the Sabbath day. Do not do any work, but set apart the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors to do.”'
23 Ie tsy nañaoñe, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, te mone nampigam-pititia, tsy hijanjiñe tsy handrambe fanoroañe.
They did not listen or pay attention, but stiffened their neck so they would not hear me nor accept discipline.
24 Ho tondroke ka te, ie mahafitsendreñe ahy, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy anjilihañ’ entañe amo lalam-bei’ ty rova toio ami’ty andro Sabotse, fe hambenañe ho masiñe ty andro Sabotse, tsy hitoloñañe;
It will happen that if you truly listen to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not bring a load to the gates of this city on the Sabbath day but instead set apart the Sabbath day to Yahweh and not do any work on it,
25 Ie amy zay himoaham-panjaka naho roandriañe o lalam-bei’ ty rova toio hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davidey, miningitse sarete naho soavala, ie naho o roandria’eo, naho ondati’ Iehodao, naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo; vaho nainai’e ho fimoneñañe ty rova toy.
then kings, princes, and those who sit on David's throne will come to the gates of this city in chariots and with horses, they and their leaders, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
26 Hivovotse boak’amo rova’ Iehodào, naho hirik’ am-paripari’ Ierosalaime, naho boak’an-tane’ i Beniamine, naho boak’an-tane petrake, naho boak’am-bohibohitse, vaho boak’ atimo añe, songa minday enga ho lorañe, naho soroñe naho enga mahakama, naho tsotse vaho engam-pañandriañañe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo.
They will come from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and the lowlands, from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
27 Fe naho mañamatsamatsa ahy nahareo tsy hampiavake o andro Sabatao, ami’ty tsy fimoahañe amo lalam-bei’ Ierosalaimeo reke-kilankañe ami’ty andro Sabotse; le hamiañako afo o lalam-beio, ze hamorototo o anjomba’ Ierosalaimeo, vaho tsy hakipeke.
But if you do not listen to me—to set apart the Sabbath day and to not carry heavy loads and to not enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day—then I will light a fire in its gates, and it will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem, and it cannot be put out.”
