Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
Ny tenin’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Hilkia, isan’ ny mpisorona tao Anatota, tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina,
2 The word of the Lord which came to him in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
izay nanambarana ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andron’ i Josia, zanak’ i Amona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny taona fahatelo ambin’ ny folo nanjakany,
3 And which came to him in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, unto the end of the eleventh year of Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda, even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda koa, ka hatramin’ ny faran’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Zedekia, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia hatramin’ ny namaboana an’ i Jerosalema tamin’ ny volana fahadimy.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
5 Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
Hatry ny fony ianao tsy mbola noforoniko tany an-kibo no efa fantatro, ary hatry ny fony ianao tsy mbola teraka no efa nohamasiniko sy notendreko ho mpaminany ho an’ ny firenena.
6 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.
7 And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
Fa hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza manao hoe: Mbola zaza aho; fa handeha amin’ izay rehetra hanirahako anao ianao, ary izay rehetra handidiako anao no hambaranao.
8 Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
9 And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:
Dia naninjitra ny tànany Jehovah ka nanendry ny vavako, ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Indro, efa nataoko ao am-bavanao ny teniko,
10 Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
ary indro Aho manendry anao izao andro anio izao hanam-pahefana amin’ ny firenena sy ny fanjakana hanongotra sy hanjera sy handrava sy handrodana ary hanorina sy hamboly.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
Ary tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ry Jeremia, inona izao hitanao izao? Ary hoy izaho: Rantsan-kazo mahatsiaro no hitako.
12 And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying: What seest thou? I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north.
Ary tonga tamiko fanindroany indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Inona izao hitanao izao; Ary hoy izaho: Vilany mangotraka no hitako, ary mitongilana mianatsimo ny vavany.
14 And the Lord said to me: from the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Hiroatra avy any avaratra ny loza hanjo ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
15 For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north: saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda,
Fa, indro, hantsoiko firenena rehetra amin’ ny fanjakana any avaratra, hoy Jehovah; dia ho tonga izy, ka samy hametraka ny seza fiandrianany eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema avokoa hamelezany ny mandany rehetra manodidina sy ny tanàna rehetra any Joda.
16 And I will pronounce my judgements against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands.
Ary hifandahatra aminy Aho noho ny haratsiany rehetra, dia ny nahafoizany Ahy sy ny nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa ary ny niankohofany teo anatrehan’ ny asan’ ny tànany.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.
Fa ianao kosa dia misikìna, ary miomàna, ka lazao aminy izao rehetra andidiako anao izao; aza matahotra ireo, fandrao dia hataoko raiki-tahotra eo anatrehany ianao.
18 For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
Indro, Izaho hanao anao ho tanàna mimanda sy andry vy ary manda varahina mba tsy ho leon’ ny tany rehetra, na ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, na ny lehibeny, na ny mpisorony, na ny vahoaka.
19 And they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
