¹And Pashhur son of Immer the priest — who also [is] overseer, leader in the house of Jehovah — heareth Jeremiah prophesying these things,

¹Ary Pasora, zanak'i Imera, mpisorona sady mpiandraikitra ny tranon'i Jehovah, raha nandre an'i Jeremia naminany izany zavatra izany,

²and Pashhur smiteth Jeremiah the prophet, and putteth him unto the stocks, that [are] by the high gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of Jehovah.

²dia namely an'i Jeremia mpaminany sady namatotra azy tamin'ny boloky hazo izay teo am-bavahadin'i Benjamina, dia ilay eo ambony, eo anilan'ny tranon'i Jehovah.

³and it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur bringeth out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah saith unto him, `Not Pashhur hath Jehovah called thy name, but — Magor-Missabib.

³Ary nony ampitso, dia nesorin'i Pasora tamin'ny boloky hazo Jeremia. Dia hoy Jeremia taminy: Tsy nataon'i Jehovah hoe Pasora ny anaranao, fa Magora-misabiba.[Pasora = fiadanana manodidina(?)][Magora-misabiba = Fampangorohoroana manodidina]

⁴For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am making thee for a fear to thyself, And to all loving thee, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath removed them to Babylon, And he hath smitten them with the sword.

⁴Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hataoko fampangorohoroana ho an'ny tenanao sy ny sakaizanao rehetra ianao, ary ho lavon'ny sabatry ny fahavalony ireo, dia ho hitan'ny masonao izany; ary ny Joda rehetra hatolotro eo an-tànan'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona, dia ho entiny ho babo any Babylona izy ka hovonoiny amin'ny sabatra.

⁵And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its labour, and all its precious things, Yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I do give into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought them into Babylon.

⁵Ary ny harena rehetra amin'ity tanàna ity sy ny vokatry ny fisasarany rehetra sy ny zava-tsoany rehetra ary ny rakitry ny mpanjakan'ny Joda rehetra dia samy hatolotro eo an-tànan'ny fahavalony, ka dia hamabo sy haka azy ireny ary hitondra azy ho any Babylona.

⁶And thou, Pashhur, and all dwelling in thy house, Do go into captivity. and Babylon thou dost enter, And there thou diest, and there thou art buried, Thou and all loving thee, To whom thou hast prophesied falsely.`

⁶Ary ianao, ry Pasora, sy izay rehetra mitoetra ao an-tranonao dia ho lasan-ko babo; ary ho tonga any Babylona ianao, ka any no hahafatesanao, ary any koa no handevenana anao mbamin'ny sakaizanao rehetra izay efa naminanianao lainga.

⁷Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, and I am persuaded; Thou hast hardened me, and dost prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Every one is mocking at me,

⁷[Ny fitarainana nataon'i Jeremia] Jehovah ô, notaominao aho ka voataona; Nosamborinao aho ka resinao; Tonga fihomehezana mandritra ny andro aho; Izy rehetra dia maneso ahy.

⁸Because from the time I speak I cry out, `Violence and destruction,` I cry, For the word of Jehovah hath been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.

⁸Fa na oviana na oviana no itenenako, dia tsy maintsy mitaraina aho, eny, miantso aho hoe: Loza sy fandravana! Fa ny tenin'i Jehovah dia atao fanakorana sy fihomehezana ahy isan'andro.

⁹And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,` And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

⁹Dia hoy izaho: Tsy hanonona Azy aho na hiteny intsony amin'ny anarany. Nefa izany dia tonga toy ny afo mirehitra ato am-poko, voahidy ato amin'ny taolako; Ary sasatra ny niaritra aho ka tsy mahazaka.

¹⁰For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear [is] round about: `Declare, and we declare it,` All mine allies are watching [for] my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.`

¹⁰Fa reko ny endrikendriky ny maro, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina. Torio, eny, hotorintsika koa izy; Izay rehetra tsara fihavanana amiko dia miandry izay hahalavoako ka manao hoe: Angamba ho voataona Izy, dia horesentsika sy hovaliantsika.

¹¹And Jehovah [is] with me, as a terrible mighty one, Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Confusion age-during is not forgotten.

¹¹Kanefa Jehovah momba ahy toy ny lehilahy mahery mahatahotra, ary noho izany dia ho tafintohina ny mpanenjika ahy ka tsy haharesy; Ho menatra indrindra izy, satria tsy hendry. Fahamenarana mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina izany![Na: tsy ambinina]

¹²And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.

¹²Fa Hianao, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô, Izay mamantatra ny marina ka mizaha toetra ny voa sy ny fo ho hitako ny famalianao azy, fa aminao no efa nanankinako ny adiko.

¹³Sing ye to Jehovah, praise Jehovah, For He hath delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evil doers.

¹³Mihirà ho an'i Jehovah, miderà an'i Jehovah; Fa Izy namonjy ny fanahin'ny malahelo tamin'ny tanan'ny mpanao ratsy.

¹⁴Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bare me, Let it not be blessed!

¹⁴Ho voaozona anie ny andro izay nahaterahako! Aoka tsy hotahina anie ny andro izay niterahan'ineny ahy!

¹⁵Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, saying, `Born to thee hath been a child — a male,` Making him very glad!

¹⁵Ho voaozona anie ny olona izay nitondra teny mahafaly tamin'ikaky nanao hoe: Tera-dahy ianao! Ka nahafaly azy indrindra.

¹⁶Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon.

¹⁶Aoka Izany lehilahy izany ho toy ny tanàna izay noravan'i Jehovah ka tsy nanenenany; Ary aoka izy handre fitarainana nony maraina sy akoralava nony mitataovovonana,

¹⁷Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me — my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during.

¹⁷Satria tsy nahafaty ahy tany an-kibo izy, hahatonga an'Ineny ho fasako, ka hivesatra ahy mandrakariva ny kibony.Nahoana re aho no nivoaka avy tany an-kibo mba hahita fahoriana sy alahelo, ka ho lany aman-kenatra ny androko!

¹⁸Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!

¹⁸Nahoana re aho no nivoaka avy tany an-kibo mba hahita fahoriana sy alahelo, ka ho lany aman-kenatra ny androko!
