Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Ty enta’ Iirmeà ana’ i Kilkià mpiamo mpisoroñe nte-Anatote an-tane’ Beniamìneo,
2 unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of Josiah 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 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem 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 there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
5 'Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.'
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 say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known — to speak, for I [am] a youth.'
Le hoe ty nataoko, Ehe Talè Iehovà! Izaho tsy mahafivolañe, fa mbe anak’ ajaja.
7 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.
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 their faces, for with thee [am] I to deliver thee, — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
Ko ihembaña’o; fa mpiama’o iraho handrombak’ azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
9 And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, 'Lo, 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 See, I have charged thee this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, 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 there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' And I say, 'A rod of an almond tree I am seeing.'
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 saith unto me, 'Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.'
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Toe nahaonin-drehe; fa jilojiloveko o volakoo hahatafeterako aze.
13 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'A blown pot I am seeing, and its face [is] 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 saith unto me, 'From the north is the evil loosed against all 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, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all 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 have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, and bow themselves to the works 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 'And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen, and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted because of them, lest I affright thee before them.
Ihe arè, mampidiaña vania vaho miavòta, saontsio ze hene amantohako azo; ko ifimpìña’o, tsy mone hampitsolofiñeko añatrefa’iereo.
18 And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its 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 have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee [am] I, — an affirmation of Jehovah — to deliver thee.
Toe hialia’ iereo; fe tsy hahagioke, amy te ama’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, hañahako azo.
