¹The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

¹[Fananarana ny olona izay niankina foana tamin'ny tempoly sy ny fombam-pivavahana] Izao no teny tonga tamin'i Jeremia avy tamin'i Jehovah:

²Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

²Mitsangana eo am-bavahadin'ny tranon'i Jehovah, ary torio eo izao teny izao, ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ianareo, ry Joda rehetra, izay miditra amin'ireto vavahady ireto mba hiankohoka eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

³Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

³Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, dia hamponeniko amin'ity tany ity ianareo.

⁴Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

⁴Aza matoky ny teny lainga hoe: Tempolin'i Jehovah, tempolin'i Jehovah, Tempolin'i Jehovah ity.

⁵For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

⁵Fa raha ataonareo tsara mihitsy ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ka mitsara marina ny adin'olona amin'ny namany ianareo,

⁶If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

⁶Ary tsy mampahory ny vahiny sy ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena, na mandatsaka rà marina amin'ity tany ity, sady tsy manaraka andriamani-kafa hahatonga loza aminareo,

⁷Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

⁷Dia hamponeniko amin'ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia eto amin'ny tany nomeko ny razanareo, hatramin'ny ela ka ho mandrakizay.

⁸Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

⁸He! ianareo matoky ny teny lainga, nefa tsy mahasoa tsinona izany.

⁹Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

⁹Hay! hangalatra sy hamono olona sy hijangajanga va ianareo ary hianian-tsy tò sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an'i Bala sady hanaraka andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantatrareo?

¹⁰And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

¹⁰Nefa mbola avy miseho ao anatrehako amin'ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity ihany ianareo ka manao hoe: Efa voavonjy izahay mba hanaovana ireto fahavetavetana rehetra ireto!

¹¹Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

¹¹Moa ataonareo ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy va ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity? Indro, ny tenako aza dia mahita izany, hoy Jehovah.

¹²But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

¹²Fa mandehana ianareo any amin'ny fitoerako izay ao Silo, dia ilay nasiako ny anarako any am-boalohany, ka jereo izay nataoko taminy noho ny haratsian'ny Isiraely oloko.

¹³And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

¹³Koa ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, satria nanao izany zavatra rehetra izany ianareo, ary niteny taminareo Aho, eny, nifoha maraina koa ka niteny taminareo, nefa tsy nohenoinareo, ary niantso anareo Aho, nefa tsy novalianareo,

¹⁴Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

¹⁴Koa dia ho toy ny nataoko tamin'i Silo no hataoko amin'ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako sady itokianareo, sy amin'ny fitoerana izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo;

¹⁵And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

¹⁵Ary hesoriko hiala eto anatrehako ianareo toy ny nanesorako ny rahalahinareo rehetra, dia ny taranak'i Efraima rehetra.

¹⁶Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

¹⁶Koa aza mivavaka ho an'ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana sy fivavahana ho azy na mifona amiko; Fa tsy hihaino anao Aho.

¹⁷Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁷Tsy hitanao va ny ataon'ireo any an-tanànan'ny Joda sy any an-dalamben'i Jerosalema?

¹⁸The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

¹⁸Ny zaza manangon-kitay, ny ray mandrehitra afo, ary ny vehivavy mametafeta ny koba hatao mofo ho an'ny mpanjakavavin'ny lanitra sy hanidinana fanatitra aidina ho an'ny andriamani-kafa mba hampahasosotra Ahy.

¹⁹Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

¹⁹Moa Izaho va no ampahasosorin'ireo, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy ny tenany ihany mba ho fangaihainy?

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

²⁰Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako haidina amin'ity tany ity, dia amin'ny olona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny hazo any an-tsaha ary ny vokatry ny tany; Dia hirehitra izany ka tsy hovonoina.

²¹Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

²¹Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Aoka ny fanatitra dorana ho naman'ny fanatitrareo hafa alatsa-drà, ka mihinàna hena.

²²For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

²²Fa tsy ny amin'ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa no nitenenako tamin'ny razanareo na nandidiako azy tamin'ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta;

²³But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

²³Fa izao kosa no nandidiako azy: Henoy ny feoko. Dia ho Andriamanitrareo Aho, ary ianareo ho oloko ka handeha amin'ny lalana rehetra nandidiako anareo, mba hahitanareo soa.

²⁴But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

²⁴Kanjo tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nandeha tamin'ny fisainany sy ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy dia niamboho, fa tsy mba nanatrika.

²⁵Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

²⁵Hatramin'ny andro nivoahan'ny razanareo avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany dia nirahiko ho any aminareo ihany ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa isan'andro Aho ka naniraka azy mandrakariva.

²⁶Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

²⁶Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy izy ireo sady tsy nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razany aza.

²⁷Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

²⁷Ary na dia holazainao aminy aza ireo teny rehetra ireo, dia tsy hihaino anao izy; Ary na dia antsoinao aza izy, dia tsy hamaly anao.

²⁸But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

²⁸Koa lazao aminy hoe: Ity no firenena tsy mihaino feon'i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady tsy mino anatra; Very ny fahamarinana, fa afaka tamin'ny vavany.

²⁹Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

²⁹Hetezo ny volonao, ry Jerosalema, ka ario, ary manaova hira fahalahelovana any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, satria lavin'i Jehovah sy afoiny ny taranaka mahatezitra Azy.

³⁰For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

³⁰Fa manao izay ratsy eo imasoko ny taranak'i Joda, hoy Jehovah, mametraka ny fahavetavetany ao amin'ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako izy mba handoto azy.

³¹And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

³¹Ary izy nanorina ireo fitoerana avo any Tofeta, izay ao amin'ny lohasahan'ny taranak'i Hinema, handoroany ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy amin'ny afo; Nefa zavatra tsy mba nandidiako na tao an-tsaiko akory aza izany.

³²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

³²Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana azy intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan'ny taranak'i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa. Ary any Tofeta aza no handevenana noho ny hateren'ny tany.

³³And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

³³Ary ny fatin'ity firenena ity dia ho fihinan'ny voro-manidina sy ny bibidia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.Dia hatsahatro any an-tanànan'ny Joda sy eny an-dalamben'i Jerosalema ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon'ny mpampakatra sy ny feon'ny ampakarina; Fa ho lao ny tany.

³⁴Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

³⁴Dia hatsahatro any an-tanànan'ny Joda sy eny an-dalamben'i Jerosalema ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon'ny mpampakatra sy ny feon'ny ampakarina; Fa ho lao ny tany.
