¹Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah.

¹[Faminaniana ny amin'ny mpiandry tsara, indrindra fa ny Rantsan'i Davida] Lozan'ireo mpiandry izay manimba sy mampihahaka ny ondry fiandriko, hoy Jehovah

²Therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah.

²Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny amin'ireo mpiandry izay miandry ny oloko: Hianareo efa nampihahaka ny ondriko sy nandronjindronjina azy, fa tsy nanolokolo azy; Koa, indro, hovaliako ianareo noho ny faharatsian'ny ataonareo, hoe Jehovah

³And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their pastures; and they shall be fruitful and shall multiply.

³Ary Izaho hanangona ny ondriko sisa avy any amin'ny tany rehetra izay nandroahako azy ka hampodiko ho any amin'ny saha niandrasana azy, dia hitombo sy hihamaro izy

⁴And I will raise up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, saith Jehovah.

⁴Ary hanendry mpiandry ho azy Aho, ka dia hiandry azy ireo; Ka tsy hatahotra na hivadi-po intsony izy, sady tsy hisy tsy ho voavory, hoy Jehovah.

⁵Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as king, and act wisely, and shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

⁵Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hananganako Rantsana marina ho an'i Davida, ka hanjaka Izy sady ho hendry ary hanao fitsarana sy fahamarinana amin'ny tany.[Na: Solofo]

⁶In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Jehovah our Righteousness.

⁶Amin'ny androny no hamonjena ny Joda, sy handrian'ny Isiraely fahizay, ary izao no anarany izay hanononana Azy: Jehovah Fahamarinantsika.

⁷Therefore behold, days are coming, saith Jehovah, that they shall no more say, [As] Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

⁷Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, Izay tsy hanaovana intsony hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nitondra ny Zanak'Isiraely niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta;

⁸but, [As] Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led back the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.

⁸Fa izao kosa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nitondra ny taranak'Isiraely niakatra sady nitarika azy avy tany amin'ny tany avaratra sy avy tany amin'ny tany rehetra izay nandroahako azy; Dia honina ao amin'ny taniny izy.

⁹Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of Jehovah, and because of the words of his holiness.

⁹[Faminaniana ny amin'ny mpaminany sandoka] Ny amin'ireo mpaminany. Montsamotsana ato anatiko ny foko, mangozohozo ny taolako rehetra, toy ny olona mamo aho, ary toy ny lehilahy leon-divay, noho ny amin'i Jehovah sy noho ny teniny masina.

¹⁰For the land is full of adulterers; for because of execration the land mourneth. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up; for their course is evil, and their force is not right.

¹⁰Fa feno mpijangajanga ny tany; Ary noho ny ozona no isaonan'ny tany, efa maina ny kijana any an-efitra; Ary efa ratsy ny fanaon'ny olona, sady ny tsi-fahamarinana no heriny.[Heb. lalan']

¹¹For both prophet and priest are profane: even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.

¹¹Fa na mpaminany na mpisorona dia samy mpihatsaravelatsihy avokoa; Na dia tao an-tranoko aza dia mbola hitako ihany ny haratsiany, hoy Jehovah.[Na: ratsy fanahy]

¹²Therefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them in the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.

¹²Koa dia ho toy ny lala-malama amin'ny aizim-pito ny lalany; Haronjina izy, ka dia ho potraka ao; Fa hahatonga loza aminy Aho amin'ny taona hamaliana azy, hoy Jehovah.

¹³And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

¹³Ary tamin'ny mpaminanin'i Samaria no nahitako zavatra mahaloiloy: Naminany tamin'i Bala izy ka nampivily ny Isiraely oloko,

¹⁴And in the prophets of Jerusalem have I seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood, and strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none doth return from his wickedness. They are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

¹⁴Ary tamin'ny mpaminanin'i Jerosalema koa no nahitako zavatra mahatsiravina; Mijangajanga sy mandeha araka ny lainga izy sady mampahery ny tanan'ny mpanao ratsy, ka samy tsy miala amin'ny faharatsiany; Eny, izy rehetra dia tonga tahaka an'i Sodoma raha amiko, ary ny mponina ao dia tonga tahaka an'i Gomora.

¹⁵Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

¹⁵Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, ny amin'ireo mpaminany ireo: Indro, hofahanako zava-mahafaty izy sy hampisotroiko rano mangidy, satria avy tamin'ny mpaminanin'i Jerosalema no nivoahan'ny faharatsiana ho any amin'ny tany rehetra.

¹⁶Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they lead you to vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

¹⁶Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Aza mihaino ny tenin'ny mpaminany izay maminany aminareo, fa manadala anareo ireo; Ny fahitana avy ao am-pony ihany no lazainy, fa tsy izay aloaky ny vavan'i Jehovah.

¹⁷They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you.

¹⁷Milaza mandrakariva amin'izay manamavo Ahy izy hoe: Jehovah nanao hoe: Hahita fiadanana ianareo, ary amin'izay rehetra mandeha araka ny ditry ny fony hoe: Tsy hisy loza hanjo anareo.

¹⁸For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, so that he hath perceived and heard his word? who hath hearkened to his word and listened?

¹⁸Fa iza moa no efa isan'ny mpihevitra teo amin'i Jehovah ka nahita sy nandre ny teniny? Iza no nanongilana ny sofiny taminy ka nihaino ny teniny?

¹⁹Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, yea, a whirling storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.

¹⁹He! ny tadion'i Jehovah! Mivoaka ny fahatezerana sy ny tadio mitambolimbolina ka miantonta amin'ny lohan'ny ratsy fanahy.

²⁰The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart: at the end of the days ye shall understand it clearly.

²⁰Ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah tsy ho afaka ambara-panefany sy ambara-panatanterany ny hevitry ny fony; Mbola ho fantatrareo marimarina izany any am-parany.

²¹I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

²¹Tsy naniraka ireo mpaminany ireo Aho, kanefa nidodododo ihany izy, tsy niteny taminy Aho, kanefa naminany ihany izy.

²²But if they had stood in my council, and had caused my people to hear my words, then would they have turned them from their evil way and from the wickedness of their doings.

²²Fa raha isan'ny mpihevitra teo amiko izy, dia ho nitory ny teniko tamin'ny oloko izy ka namerina azy hiala tamin'ny lalany ratsy sy tamin'ny faharatsian'ny nataony.

²³Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off?

²³Moa Andriamanitra etỳ akaiky ihany va Aho? hoy Jehovah. Fa tsy Andriamanitra any lavitra any koa?

²⁴Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? saith Jehovah.

²⁴Moa misy olona mahafin-tena ao amin'ny fierena va ka tsy ho hitako? hoy Jehovah. Tsy manerana ny lanitra sy ny tany va Aho? hoy Jehovah.

²⁵I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy falsehood in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

²⁵Efa reko ny nolazain'ny mpaminany, Izay naminany lainga tamin'ny anarako hoe: Nanonofy aho, nanonofy aho.

²⁶How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, and who are prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

²⁶Mandra-pahoviana? Moa ao am-pon'ireo mpaminany izay maminany lainga sy maminany araka ny fitaky ny fony va?

²⁷who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

²⁷Ny hampanadino ny oloko ny anarako amin'ny nofiny izay lazainy amin'ny namany avy, toy ny nanadinoan'ny razany ny anarako noho ny amin'i Bala?

²⁸The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell the dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.

²⁸Ny mpaminany izay manonofy dia aoka hilaza nofy, ary izay manana ny teniko dia aoka hanambara marina ny teniko. Fa moa inona izay mololo, raha oharina amin'ny vary? hoy Jehovah.

²⁹Is not my word like a fire, saith Jehovah; and like a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces?

²⁹Tsy tahaka ny afo va ny teniko? hoy Jehovah, ary tsy tahaka ny kanonta manorotoro ny vatolampy va?

³⁰Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

³⁰Koa, indro, fa hasiako ny mpaminany, hoy Jehovah, izay samy mangalatra ny teniko amin'ny namany avy.

³¹Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He hath said.

³¹Indro, hoy Jehovah, hasiako ny mpaminany, izay mampiteny ny lelany hoe: Hoy Izy.

³²Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith Jehovah, and that tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies and by their boasting; and I have not sent them, nor commanded them; and they profit not this people at all, saith Jehovah.

³²Indro, hasiako izay maminany nofy lainga, hoy Jehovah, ary milaza izany ka mampivily ny oloko amin'ny laingany sy ny fandokafany tena; Nefa Izaho tsy naniraka azy na nandidy azy tsinona, ka dia tsy mahasoa ity firenena ity akory izy, hoy Jehovah.

³³And when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even cast you off, saith Jehovah.

³³Ary raha manontany anao ity firenena ity, na ny mpaminany, na ny mpisorona, ka manao hoe: Inona no entan'i Jehovah? Dia ataovy aminy hoe: Ny amin'ny entana hariako ianareo, hoy Jehovah.[Na: faminaniana ny loza]

³⁴And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.

³⁴Ary ny mpaminany sy ny mpisorona mbamin'ny vahoaka, izay manao hoe: Ny entan'i Jehovah. Dia hovaliako izany olona izany mbamin'ny ankohonany.

³⁵Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother: What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?

³⁵Samia manontany amin'ny namany sy ny rahalahiny avy ianareo hoe: Ahoana no navalin'i Jehovah? Ary ahoana no nolazain'i Jehovah?

³⁶And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden: for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts, our God.

³⁶Fa ny hoe: Ny entan'i Jehovah dia tsy hotononinareo intsony; Fa ny tenin'ny olona avy ihany no ho entan'ny tenany, satria efa navadikareo ny tenin'Andriamanitra velona, dia Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitsika.

³⁷Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?

³⁷Izao no hanontanianareo amin'ny mpaminany; Ahoana no navalin'i Jehovah anao? Ary ahoana no nolazain'i Jehovah?[Heb. hanontanianao]

³⁸But since ye say, The burden of Jehovah, therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;

³⁸Fa raha hoy ianareo: Entan'i Jehovah, Dia izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny nilazanareo ny teny hoe: Ny entan'i Jehovah, nefa efa nanirahako ihany ianareo nataoko hoe: Aza manao hoe: Ny entan'i Jehovah,

³⁹therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, far from my face, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers.

³⁹Dia, indro, hanadino anareo tokoa Aho sady hanary anareo mbamin'ny tanàna izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo tsy ho eo anatrehako;Ary hataoko mihatra aminareo ny fahafaham-baraka mandrakizay sy ny fahamenarana mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina.

⁴⁰And I will bring everlasting reproach upon you, and everlasting shame, that shall not be forgotten.

⁴⁰Ary hataoko mihatra aminareo ny fahafaham-baraka mandrakizay sy ny fahamenarana mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina.
