¹The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,

¹Ny fahotan'ny Joda dia voasoratra tamin'ny fanoratana sy tamin'ny diamondra fanoratana; voasoratra ao am-pony tahaka ny amin'ny vato fisaka sy eo amin'ny tandroky ny alitarany izany,[Heb. alitaranareo]

²As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By the green tree, by the high hills.

²Dia amin'izay hahatsiarovan'ny zanany ny alitarany sy ny Aserahany, akaikin'ny hazo maitso, ambonin'ny havoana andrandraina.[Anaran'andriamani-tsi-izy, na ny sariny]

³O My mountain in the field — thy strength, All thy treasures — for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.

³Ry tendrombohitro any an-tsaha, ny fanananao sy ny rakitrao rehetra dia hatolotro ho babo, eny, na dia ny fitoerana avonao koa aza noho ny fahotana tao anatin'ny faritaninao rehetra.

⁴And thou hast let go — even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.

⁴Ary avy amin'ny tenanao ihany no mahatonga ny hamoizanao ny lovanao izay nomeko anao; Ary hampanompoiko ny fahavalonao any amin'ny tany izay tsy fantatrao ianao; Fa narehitrareo ny afon'ny fahatezerako, izay hirehitra mandrakizay.[Heb. fa misy afo narehitrareo tamin'ny fahatezerako]

⁵Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.

⁵[Ny amin'ny fahatokiana olona sy ny fahatokiana an'Andriamanitra, ary ny vavaka nataon'i Jeremia nangatahany famonjena] Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: ho voaozona izay olona matoky olona sy manao ny nofo ho sandriny, ka miala amin'i Jehovah ny fony.

⁶And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.

⁶Fa ho tahaka ny olona mahantra any an-tani-hay izy ka tsy mba hahita, na dia avy aza ny soa; Fa honina any amin'ny tany karankaina any an-efitra, dia any amin'ny tany sira izay tsy onenana.[Na: ny anjavidy]

⁷Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁷Hotahina izay olona matoky an'i Jehovah, dia izay manana an'i Jehovah ho tokiny.

⁸And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁸Fa ho toy ny hazo ambolena eo amoron-drano izy, izay mamaka eo anilan'ny rano mandeha, ka tsy hatahotra, na dia avy aza ny hainandro, sady ho maitso ny raviny, ka tsy hanahy izy, na dia mihantona aza ny andro, fa tsy hitsahatra ny famoany.

⁹Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable — who doth know it?

⁹Ny fo dia mamitaka mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra sady manana aretina tsy azo sitranina; Iza moa no mahafantatra ny aminy?

¹⁰I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

¹⁰Izaho Jehovah no Mpandinika ny fo sy Mpamantatra ny voa, mba hanome ny olona rehetra araka ny alehany avy, dia araka ny vokatry ny asany

¹¹A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end — he is a fool.

¹¹Toy ny tsipoy mikotrika izay tsy atodiny, dia toy izany izay mahazo harena tsy amin'ny rariny: Handao azy amin'ny an-tenatenan'androny izany, ka ho adala no farany.[Na: Hilaozan'izany eo an-tenatenan'androny izy]

¹²A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,

¹²Seza fiandrianana be voninahitra sady avo hatramin'ny voalohany ny fitoera-masintsika.

¹³The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And `My apostates` in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.

¹³Ry Jehovah, Fanantenan'ny Isiraely ô! Ho menatra izay rehetra mahafoy Anao, ary hosoratana amin'ny vovoka izay miala aminao, satria izy efa nahafoy an'i Jehovah, loharano velona.[Heb. amiko]

¹⁴Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.

¹⁴Jehovah ô, sitrano aho, dia ho sitrana; Vonjeo aho, dia ho voavonjy; Fa Hianao no fiderako.

¹⁵Lo, they are saying unto me: `Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.`

¹⁵Indro, ireo dia manao amiko hoe: Aiza ny tenin'i Jehovah? Aoka ho tanteraka izany.

¹⁶And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou — Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,

¹⁶Fa izaho tsy nihifikifika niala tsy ho mpiandry manaraka Anao; Ary ny andro hihavian'ny loza dia tsy nohaikaiko, eny, fantatrao izany; Izay efa nivoaka tamin'ny molotro dia miharihary eo anatrehanao.

¹⁷Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.

¹⁷Enga anie ka tsy ho fampitahorana ahy Hianao! Aroko amin'ny andro fahoriana Hianao!

¹⁸Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed — me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted — me! Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with] destruction destroy them.

¹⁸Aoka ho menatra izay manenjika ahy, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba ho menatra; Aoka hivadi-po ireo, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba hivadi-po; Ataovy tonga aminy ny andro fahoriana, ary ny fahatorotoroana roa heny no anorotoroy azy.

¹⁹Thus said Jehovah unto me: `Go, and thou hast stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,

¹⁹[Ny amin'ny hanamasinana ny Sabata] Izao no nolazain'i Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana ka mitsangàna eo amin'ny vavahadim-bahoaka, dia ilay fandehanan'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda miditra sy mivoaka, ary eo amin'ny vavahady rehetra eto Jerosalema

²⁰and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,

²⁰ka lazao amin'ny olona hoe: Henoinareo ny tenin'i Jehovah ry mpanjakan'ny Joda sy ry Joda rehetra ary ianareo mponina rehetra eto Jerosalema, izay miditra amin'ireto vavahady ireto.

²¹Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.

²¹Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Tandremo ny fanahinareo, ka aza mitondrantana amin'ny andro Sabata, ary aza mampiditra entana: amin'ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema;

²²Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.

²²ary aza mitondra entana mivoaka avy amin'ny tranonareo amin'ny andro Sabata, na manao raharaha akory; fa hamasino ny andro Sabata araka izay efa nandidiako ny razanareo.

²³And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.

²³Nefa tsy nihevitra izy, na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony mba tsy hihaino na hino anatra.

²⁴And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work —

²⁴Ary raha mihaino Ahy tokoa ianareo hoy Jehovah, ka tsy mampiditra entana amin'ny vavahadin'ity tanàna ity amin'ny andro Sabata, ka tsy manao raharaha amin'izany,

²⁵Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age.

²⁵izay mpanjaka sy mpanapaka mipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida dia hiditra amin'ny vavahadin'ity tanàna ity mitaingina kalesy sy soavaly, dia izy sy ny mpanapaka sy ny Joda ary ny mponina eto Jerosalema, ka honenana mandrakizay ity tanàna ity.

²⁶And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah.

²⁶Ary ho avy ny olona avy amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda sy ny manodidina an'i Jerosalema sy ny tanin'ny Benjamina sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy ny tany havoana ary ny tany atsimo ka hitondra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanatitra hohanina sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona ary hitondra fanati-pisaorana ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah.[Heb. Sefela]Fa raha tsy mihaino Ahy kosa ianareo ka tsy manamasina ny andro Sabata, fa mitondra entana miditra amin'ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema ihany amin'ny andro Sabata, dia handrehitra afo tsy mety maty eo am-bavahadiny Aho handevonana ny tranobe eto Jerosalema.

²⁷And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!`

²⁷Fa raha tsy mihaino Ahy kosa ianareo ka tsy manamasina ny andro Sabata, fa mitondra entana miditra amin'ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema ihany amin'ny andro Sabata, dia handrehitra afo tsy mety maty eo am-bavahadiny Aho handevonana ny tranobe eto Jerosalema.
