¹And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest -- and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah -- heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.

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

²And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in 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 came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, 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 saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite 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 will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to 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, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.

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.

⁷Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh 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.

⁸For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a 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 will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: but it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I became wearied with holding in, and I could not.

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 defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on 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.

¹¹But Jehovah is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble and shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered: it shall be an everlasting confusion that shall not be 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 thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I 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 unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

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

¹⁴Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed!

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

¹⁵Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!

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

¹⁶And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,

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 slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great [with me]!

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!

¹⁸Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?

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