Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who 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 to whom the word of YHWH came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, 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 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 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 Now the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to 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 Then I said, "Ah, Lord YHWH. Look, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child."
Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.
7 But YHWH said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall 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 Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says YHWH.
Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
9 Then YHWH put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and YHWH said to me, "Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
Dia naninjitra ny tànany Jehovah ka nanendry ny vavako, ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Indro, efa nataoko ao am-bavanao ny teniko,
10 Look, I have this day set you 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."
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 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
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 Then YHWH said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.
13 The word of YHWH came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from 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 Then YHWH said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on 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, look, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says YHWH; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
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 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works 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 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
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, look, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against 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 They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you," says YHWH, "to deliver you."
Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
