< Jeremiah 1 >

1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,
Dagitoy dagiti sao ni Jeremias a putot ni Hilkias; maysa isuna kadagiti papadi idiay Anatot iti daga ti Benjamin.
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenkuana kadagiti aldaw ti ari ti Juda a ni Josias a putot ni Amon, iti maikasangapulo ket tallo a tawen a panagturayna.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away captive of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Immay met daytoy kadagiti aldaw a ni Jehoyakim a putot ni Josias ti ari idiay Juda, agingga iti maikalima a bulan iti maika-sangapulo ket maysa a tawen a panagturay kas ari ni Zedekias a putot ni Josias idiay Juda, idi naitalaw a kas balud dagiti tattao ti Jerusalem.
4 Now the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. I have appointed thee a prophet to the nations.
“Sakbay a binukelka iti aanakan, pinilikan; sakbay a naipasngayka, inlasinka; pinagbalinka a profeta kadagiti nasion.”
6 Then I said, Ah, lord Jehovah! Behold, I know not how to speak, for I am a child.
“O Apo a Yahweh!” Kinunak, “Saanko nga ammo ti agsao, ta ubingak unay.”
7 But Jehovah said to me, Say not, I am a child. For to whomever I shall send thee thou shall go, and whatever I shall command thee thou shall speak.
Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Saanmo a kunaen, 'Ubingak unay'. Masapul a mapanka iti sadinoman a pangibaonak kenka, ken masapul nga ibagam ti aniaman nga ibilinko kenka!
8 Be not afraid because of them, for I am with thee to deliver thee, says Jehovah.
Saanka a mabuteng kadakuada, ta addaak kenka a mangispal kenka—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
9 Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Ket inyunnat ni Yahweh ti imana, sinagidna ti ngiwatko ket kinunana kaniak, “Ita, inkabilko ti saok iti ngiwatmo.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Dutokanka ita nga aldaw kadagiti nasion ken kadagiti pagarian, a mangparut ken mangrebba, a mangdadael ken mangparmek, a mangbangon ken mangimula.”
11 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do thou see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana, “Ania ti makitam Jeremias? Kinunak, “Makitak ti maysa a sanga ti almendras.”
12 Then Jehovah said to me, Thou have well seen. For I watch over my word to perform it.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Husto ti nakitam, ta sipsiputak ti saok tapno maipatungpal daytoy.”
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What do thou see? And I said, I see a boiling caldron, and the face of it is from the north.
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh iti maikadua a daras, a kunana, “Ania ti makitam?” Kinunak, “Makitak ti maysa a kaldero nga agburburek ti linaonna, nakatingeg manipud iti amianan.”
14 Then Jehovah said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Addanto tumaud a didigra manipud amianan a sagrapen dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy a daga.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah. And they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls of it round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
Ta ay-ayabak dagiti amin a tribu kadagiti akin-amianan a pagarian, impakaammo ni Yahweh. Umaydanto, ket isaadto ti tunggal maysa ti tronona iti pagserkan kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem, kadagiti amin a pader a nakapalawlaw iti daytoy, ken kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Kedngakto ida gapu iti amin a kinadakesda iti panangtallikudda kaniak, iti panangpuorda iti insenso a maipaay kadagiti didiosen, ken iti panangdayawda iti inaramid dagiti bukodda nga ima.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.
Agsaganaka! Tumakderka ket ibagam kadakuada ti aniaman nga ibilinko kenka. Saanka nga agbuteng iti sangoananda, ta no saan, ad-adda pay a pagbutngenka iti sangoananda!
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the rulers of it, against the priests of it, and against the people of the land.
Denggem! Ita nga aldaw, pinagbalinka a nasarikedkedan a siudad, adigi a landok, ken bakud a bronse a maibusor iti entero a daga—maibusor kadagiti ari ti Juda, kadagiti opisiales daytoy, kadagiti padi daytoy, ken kadagiti tattao iti daga.
19 And they shall fight against thee. But they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, says Jehovah, to deliver thee.
Bumusordanto kenka, ngem saandakanto a maparmek, ta addaakto kenka a mangispal kenka—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
