¹The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:

¹[Ny nivadihan'ny Isiraely tamin'ny fanekena nataon'i Jehovah taminy, sy ny nanao azy noho izany] Izao no teny tonga tamin'i Jeremia avy tamin'i Jehovah:

²`Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

²Mihainoa ny tenin'izao fanekena izao ianareo, ary mitenena amin'ny Joda sy amin'ny mponina any Jerosalema,

³and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this covenant,

³Ary ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: ho voaozona izay olona tsy mankatò ny tenin'izao fanekena izao,

⁴That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,

⁴Izay nandidiako ny razanareo tamin'ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta, dia avy tao amin'ny memy fandrendreham-by, ka nanaovako hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko, ary mankatoava ireny araka izay rehetra andidiako anareo, dia ho oloko ianareo, ary Izaho kosa ho Andriamanitrareo,

⁵In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And I answer and say, `Amen, O Jehovah.`

⁵Mba hotoviko ny fianianana izay nianianako tamin'ny razanareo, dia ny hanomezana azy tany tondra-dronono sy tantely tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao. Dia namaly aho ka nanao hoe: Ho izany tokoa anie, Jehovah ô![Heb. Amena]

⁶And Jehovah saith unto me, `Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of this covenant, And ye have done them.

⁶Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Torio any an-tanànan'ny Joda sy any an-dalamben'i Jerosalema Izany teny rehetra izany, ka lazao hoe: Henoy ny tenin'izao fanekena izao, ka ankatoavy izy.

⁷For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt — till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice,

⁷Fa nananatra mafy ny razanareo Aho tamin'ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany; Eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka nananatra hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko.

⁸And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.`

⁸Nefa tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa samy nandeha tamin'ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy; Ka dia nataoko mihatra aminy ny teny rehetra amin'izao fanekena izao, ilay nasaiko nataony, nefa tsy nataony.

⁹And Jehovah saith unto me: `A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁹Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Misy tetika fikomiana hita ao amin'ny Joda sy amin'ny mponina any Jerosalema.

¹⁰They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of Judah, Have made void My covenant, that I made with their fathers.

¹⁰Fa izy niverina nankamin'ny heloky ny razany, izay tsy nety nihaino ny teniko, ary lasa nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka nanompo azy; Ny taranak'Isiraely sy ny taranak'i Joda efa nivadika ny fanekeko, izay nataoko tamin'ny razany.

¹¹Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them.

¹¹Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza aminy, izay tsy azony handosirana; Ary na dia hitaraina amiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.

¹²And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their vexation.

¹²Dia handeha ny tanànan'ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ka hitaraina amin'ireny andriamaniny, izay efa nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Nefa ireny tsy hahavonjy azy akory amin'ny andro fahoriany.

¹³For — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah, And — the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to Baal.

¹³Fa araka ny isan'ny tanànanao, ry Joda, no isan'ny andriamanitrao, Ary araka ny isan'ny lalamben'i Jerosalema no isan'ny alitara naorinareo ho an'ilay mampahamenatra. Dia alitara handoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an'i Bala.

¹⁴And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation.

¹⁴Koa aza mivavaka ho an'ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana na fifonana ho azy; Fa amin'ny andro izay hitarainany amiko noho ny fahoriany dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.

¹⁵What — to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou dost evil, then thou exultest.

¹⁵Hanao inona ao an-tranoko ny malalako fa efa namoron-tsain-dratsy niaraka tamin'ny maro izy, ary ny hena masina dia esorina aminao; Raha azon-doza ianao, mifalia ary![Na: Nahoana ny malalako no manao fahavetavetana eto an-tranoko? Moa ny voady sy ny hena masina va no hampiala ny faharatsianao, na hahafahanao handositra?]

¹⁶`An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,` Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.

¹⁶Hazo oliva maitso sady misy voany maha-te-hizaha no nataon'i Jehovah anaranao; Tamin'ny fihorakorahana be no nandrehetany afo taminy, ary notapahina ny rantsany.

¹⁷And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal.

¹⁷Fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Izay namboly anao, no nanambara ny loza hanjo anao, noho ny ratsy nataon'ny taranak'Isiraely sy ny taranak'i Joda, Izay nahavoa ny tenany ka nahatezitra Ahy. Dia tamin'ny nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an'i Bala.

¹⁸And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed me their doings.

¹⁸[Ny teny nasain'i Jehovah nolazaina ny amin'ny mponina tao Anatota, izay nitady hamono an'i Jeremia] Ary nampahafantarin'i Jehovah aho, ka dia nahalala; Tamin'izany dia nasehonao ahy ny fanaony.

¹⁹And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.

¹⁹Fa izaho dia tahaka ny zanak'ondry bonaika, izay entina hovonoina; Ary tsy fantatro fa izao no tetika nataony namelezany ahy: Aoka hosimbantsika ny hazo mbamin'ny voany, ary aoka hofongorantsika hiala amin'ny tanin'ny velona izy, mba tsy hotsarovana intsony ny anarany.

²⁰And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.`

²⁰Nefa, ry Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô, Izay mitsara marina ka mamantatra ny voa sy ny fo aoka ho hitako ny famalianao azy; Fa aminao no efa nanankinako ny adiko.

²¹Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.

²¹Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah ny amin'ny mponina ao Anatota, izay mitady ny ainao ka manao hoe: Aza maminany amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah, fandrao matin'ny tananay ianao,

²²Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: `Lo, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,

²²izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Indro, hovaliako Izy, ka ny zatovo ho fatin-tsabatra, ary ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ho fati-mosary;Ka tsy hisy hiangana izy; Fa hahatonga loza amin'ny mponina ao Anatota Aho amin'ny taona hamaliana azy.

²³And they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!`

²³Ka tsy hisy hiangana izy; Fa hahatonga loza amin'ny mponina ao Anatota Aho amin'ny taona hamaliana azy.
