Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
Ty enta’ Iirmeà ana’ i Kilkià mpiamo mpisoroñe nte-Anatote an-tane’ Beniamìneo,
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.
ie nivotraha’ ty tsara’ Iehovà tañ’andro’ Iosià ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, amy taom-paha folo-telo-ambi’ i fifehea’ey.
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.
Niheova’e ka tañ’andro’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà pak’ami’ty fimodoa’ ty taoñe faha folo-raik’ambi’ i Tsidkià ana’ Iosià mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ampara’ ty faneseañe Ierosalaime an-drohy añe amy volam-paha-limey.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty 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.
Ihe mbe tsy tsineneko an-trok’ ao le nifàntako; aolo’ ty niboaha’o an-koviñ’ ao le navahako, vaho tinendreko ho mpitoky amo kilakila’ ndatio.
6 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
Le hoe ty nataoko, Ehe Talè Iehovà! Izaho tsy mahafivolañe, fa mbe anak’ ajaja.
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.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amako: ko manao zao, t’ie Anak’ ajaja; fa ze amantohako azo ty handenà’o le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty hatoroko azo, ty ho taroñe’o.
8 Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Ko ihembaña’o; fa mpiama’o iraho handrombak’ azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
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:
Nahiti’ Iehovà amy zao ty fità’e, le nedrè’e ty vavako; vaho nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Ingo te napoko am-palie’o ao o entakoo;
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.
Oniño te androany ty nampijadoñako azo ambone’ o fifelehañeo naho o fifeheañeo. Ty hañombotse naho hampigorobañe, ty hamotsake naho handrotsake; ty handranjy vaho hambole.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
Mbore nimb’amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe: O Iirmeà, mahaisake ino v-iheo? le hoe ty asako: Mahatrea ty tsampa-mahabibo.
12 And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Toe nahaonin-drehe; fa jilojiloveko o volakoo hahatafeterako aze.
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.
Niheo amako fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Inoñe o isa’oo? le hoe iraho, Mahatrea valàñe mikokèntrekokèntreñe iraho; le boak’ avaratse ey ty fihilañam-bava’e.
14 And the Lord said to me: from the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà tamako: Ho boroboñafe’ ty hekoheko boak’ avaratse añe amy ze hene’ndaty an-tane atoy.
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,
Ingo ho koiheko iaby ze fifokoa’ o fifeheañe avaratseo, hoe t’Iehovà, homb’ atoy, songa hampipoke ty fiambesam-panjaka’e an-dalam-bey fimoahañe am’ Ierosalaime, naho amy ze fonga kijoly miarikoboñe aze, vaho amy ze hene rova’ Iehodà.
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.
Aa le ho taroñeko te hizakako ty hatsivokara’ iareo; amy te naforintse’ iareo iraho, naho mañemboke aman’ drahare ila’e, vaho mitalaho amo sata-pità’iareoo avao.
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.
Ihe arè, mampidiaña vania vaho miavòta, saontsio ze hene amantohako azo; ko ifimpìña’o, tsy mone hampitsolofiñeko añatrefa’iereo.
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.
Hehe te nanoeko rova finatratse irehe, bodam-biñe, naho kijoly torisìke, amo tane iabio, amo mpanjaka’ Iehodao, amo roandria’eo, amo mpisoro’eo, vaho am’ ondati’ i taneio.
19 And they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
Toe hialia’ iereo; fe tsy hahagioke, amy te ama’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, hañahako azo.
