¹Thus saith Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

¹[Anatra mafy noho ny faharatsian'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda] Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Midina any amin'ny tranon'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda, ka lazao any izao teny izao hoe:

²and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people who enter in through these gates.

²Henoy ny tenin'i Jehovah, ry mpanjakan'ny Joda, izay mipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida, dia ianao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao izay miditra amin'ireto vavahady ireto:

³Thus saith Jehovah: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place.

³Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Manaova fitsarana sy fahamarinana ianareo, ka afaho amin'ny tanan'ny mpampahory ny olona voaroba; ary aza mampahory na mampidi-doza amin'ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena, ary aza mandatsaka rà marina amin'ity fitoerana ity.

⁴For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in through the gates of this house kings sitting in the place of David upon his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, -- he, and his servants, and his people.

⁴Fa raha mankatò izany teny izany tokoa ianareo, dia hisy mpanjaka mipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida hiditra amin'ity vavahady ity mitaingin-kalesy sy soavaly, dia izy sy ny mpanompony ary ny vahoakany.

⁵But if ye will not hear these words, I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a waste.

⁵Fa raha tsy hihaino izany teny izany kosa ianareo, dia ny tenako no ianianako, hoy Jehovah, fa ho lao tokoa ity trano ity.

⁶For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art a Gilead unto me, the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities not inhabited.

⁶Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah ny amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda sy ny mpianakaviny: Tahaka an'i Gileada sy ny tampon'i Libanona amiko ianao, nefa hataoko tonga efitra sy tanàna tsy onenana.

⁷And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.

⁷Ary hanendry mpandrava hamely anao Aho, Izay samy hitondra ny fiadiany avy; Dia hokapain'ireo ny sederanao voafantina ka hariany ao anaty afo.[heb. hanamasina]

⁸And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this great city?

⁸Ary firenena maro no handalo ity tanàna ity, ka samy hanao amin'ny namany avy hoe: Nahoana Jehovah no dia nanao izao tamin'ity tanàna lehibe ity?

⁹And they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

⁹Dia hovaliana hoe: Noho ny nahafoizany ny faneken'i Jehovah Andriamaniny sy ny nivavahany tamin'andriamani-kafa sy ny nanompoany ireny.

¹⁰Weep not for the dead, neither bemoan him; [but] weep sore for him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

¹⁰Aza mitomany ny maty ianareo, na misaona azy; Mitomania dia mitomania noho ilay efa lasan-ko babo; Fa tsy hiverina intsony izy, na hahita ny tany nahaterahany.

¹¹For thus saith Jehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more;

¹¹Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah ny amin'i Saloma, zanak'i Josia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, dia ilay nanjaka nandimby an'i Josia rainy, saingy efa niala tamin'ity tany ity: Tsy hiverina atỳ intsony izy,

¹²for he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

¹²Fa ho faty any amin'ny tany izay nitondrana azy ho babo ka tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.

¹³Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his upper chambers by injustice; that taketh his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not his earning;

¹³Lozan'izay manorina ny tranony amin'ny tsy rariny sy ny ati-tranony ambony amin'ny fitaka ka mampiasa maina ny namany, fa tsy mandoa ny karamany,

¹⁴that saith, I will build me a wide house, and spacious upper chambers; and he cutteth out for himself windows; and it is wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

¹⁴Sady manao hoe: Hanao trano lehibe ho ahy aho sy ati-trano ambony malalaka, ary holoahany hisy varavarankely sady hasiany valin-drihana sedera sy hohosorana loko mena.

¹⁵Shalt thou reign, because thou viest with the cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? Then it was well with him.

¹⁵Moa dia ho mpanjaka ianao, saingy ataonao be sedera noho ny an'ny sasany ny tranonao? Tsy efa nihinana sy nisotro va rainao sady nanao fitsarana sy fahamarinana? Tamin'izany dia nambinina izy.

¹⁶He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah.

¹⁶Nitsara ny tenin'ny ory sy ny malahelo izy; Tamin'izany dia nambinina izy. Tsy izany va no fahalalana Ahy? hoy Jehovah.

¹⁷But thine eyes and thy heart are only on thine extortion, and on the blood of the innocent, to shed it, and on oppression and on violence, to do it.

¹⁷Nefa tsy misy alehan'ny masonao sy ny eritreritrao afa-tsy ny filan-karena ihany sy ny fandatsahana rà marina ary ny fampahoriana sy ny fanaovana an-keriny.

¹⁸Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, Ah, my brother! or, Ah, sister! They shall not lament for him, Ah, lord! or Ah, his glory!

¹⁸Ary noho izany dia izao no lazain'i Jehovah ny amin'i Joiakima, zanak'i Josia, mpanjakan'ny Joda: Ny olona tsy hisaona azy hoe: Indrisy, tompokolahy! na: Indrisy, tompokovavy! Ny olona tsy hitomany azy hoe: Indrisy, tompoko! na: Indrisy ny voninahiny!

¹⁹He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged along and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Halevina toy ny fandevina boriky izy, ka hotaritarihina sy hariana any ivelan'ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema.

²⁰Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and give forth thy voice in Bashan, and cry from [the heights of] Abarim: for all thy lovers are destroyed.

²⁰Miakara any Libanona, ka mitaraina; Dia asandrato any Basana ny feonao, ary mitaraina any Abarima; Fa ringana avokoa ireo tia anao.

²¹I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity; [but] thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy way from thy youth, that thou hearkenedst not unto my voice.

²¹Efa niteny taminao Aho, fony ianao mbola nipetraka tsy nanana ahiahy; Nefa hoy ianao: Izaho tsy hihaino. Fanaonao hatry ny fony ianao mbola tanora ny tsy mihaino ny teniko.

²²The wind shall feed on all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely, then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

²²Ny mpitondra anao rehetra ho paohin'ny rivotra, ary ireo tia anao ho lasan-ko babo, eny, ho menatra sy hangaihay tokoa ianao noho ny haratsianao rehetra.[Heb. mpiandry ondry]

²³Thou inhabitress of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how pitiful shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, pain as of a woman in travail!

²³Ry ilay mponina any Libanona, izay manao ny akaninao eny amin'ny sedera, indrisy ny fisentoanao, raha iharan'ny faharariana ianao, toy ny fanaintainan'ny vehivavy raha miteraka![Na: fahantranao]

²⁴[As] I live, saith Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet upon my right hand, yet will I pluck thee thence;

²⁴Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, na dia ho peratra fanombohan-kase amin'ny tanako ankavanana aza ianao, ry Jekonia, zanak'i Joiakima, mpanjakan'ny Joda, dia hotsoahako hiala eo ianao,

²⁵and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them before whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁵Ka hatolotro eo an-tànan'izay mitady ny ainao sy eo an-tànan'izay atahoranao, dia eo an-tànan'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, sy eo amin'ny tanan'ny Kaldeana.

²⁶And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.

²⁶Ary ianao sy ny reninao niteraka anao dia hariako any an-tany hafa izay tsy nahaterahanareo, ka any no hahafatesanareo.

²⁷And into the land whereunto they lift up their souls to return, thither shall they not return.

²⁷Fa ny tany iriny hiverenana dia tsy hiverenany.

²⁸Is this man Coniah a despised broken vase? a vessel wherein is no delight? Wherefore are they thrown out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

²⁸Moa ity lehilahy Jekonia ity dia vilany vingavingaina sy efa hotorotoroina ary fanaka tsy mahafinaritra va? Koa nahoana no nariana izy sy ny taranany ka natsipy any amin'ny tany tsy fantany?

²⁹O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah!

²⁹Ry tany! ry tany! ry tany! Henoy ny tenin'i Jehovah.Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Soratanareo ho tsy manam-para ity lehilahy ity, dia lehilahy tsy hambinina amin'ny androny; Fa tsy hisy amin'ny taranany izay hambinina Hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida, na hanapaka ao amin'ny Joda intsony

³⁰Thus saith Jehovah: Write this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

³⁰Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Soratanareo ho tsy manam-para ity lehilahy ity, dia lehilahy tsy hambinina amin'ny androny; Fa tsy hisy amin'ny taranany izay hambinina Hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida, na hanapaka ao amin'ny Joda intsony
