Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests, who dwelt in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin;
Ty enta’ Iirmeà ana’ i Kilkià mpiamo mpisoroñe nte-Anatote an-tane’ Beniamìneo,
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;
ie nivotraha’ ty tsara’ Iehovà tañ’andro’ Iosià ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, amy taom-paha folo-telo-ambi’ i fifehea’ey.
3 to whom it also came in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem into captivity 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 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
5 Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee; and before thou camest into the world, I chose thee; I appointed thee to be a prophet to 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 Then said I, Alas, O Lord Jehovah! Behold, I am not able to speak; for I am a child.
Le hoe ty nataoko, Ehe Talè Iehovà! Izaho tsy mahafivolañe, fa mbe anak’ ajaja.
7 But Jehovah said to me, Say not, I am a child; but go to whomever I send thee, and speak whatever I command thee!
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 of them! For I am with thee to help thee, saith Jehovah.
Ko ihembaña’o; fa mpiama’o iraho handrombak’ azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
9 Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. Jehovah also said to me, Behold, I have put 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 Behold, I have set thee this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow; 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 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, I see a rod of almond-wood.
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 Jehovah said to me, Thou hast seen right; for I am watchful 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 Jehovah came to me a second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling pot, whose face is turned from 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 Jehovah said to me, From the north shall 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 all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all her walls around, and against all the cities of Judah.
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 judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshipped 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 of them, lest I confound thee before them.
Ihe arè, mampidiaña vania vaho miavòta, saontsio ze hene amantohako azo; ko ifimpìña’o, tsy mone hampitsolofiñeko añatrefa’iereo.
18 For, behold, I make thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass against all this land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against 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 They shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to help thee.
Toe hialia’ iereo; fe tsy hahagioke, amy te ama’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, hañahako azo.
