Jeremias 1
1 Dagitoy dagiti sao ni Jeremias a putot ni Hilkias; maysa isuna kadagiti papadi idiay Anatot iti daga ti Benjamin.
The words of Jeremiah the son of Chilkiyahu, one of the priests that were in 'Anathoth in the land of Benjamin;
2 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenkuana kadagiti aldaw ti ari ti Juda a ni Josias a putot ni Amon, iti maikasangapulo ket tallo a tawen a panagturayna.
To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 Immay met daytoy kadagiti aldaw a ni Jehoyakim a putot ni Josias ti ari idiay Juda, agingga iti maikalima a bulan iti maika-sangapulo ket maysa a tawen a panagturay kas ari ni Zedekias a putot ni Josias idiay Juda, idi naitalaw a kas balud dagiti tattao ti Jerusalem.
And who continued [prophet] in the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the carrying away into exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 “Sakbay a binukelka iti aanakan, pinilikan; sakbay a naipasngayka, inlasinka; pinagbalinka a profeta kadagiti nasion.”
Before yet I had formed thee in thy mother's body I knew thee; and before thou wast yet come forth out of the womb I sanctified thee: a prophet unto the nations did I ordain thee.
6 “O Apo a Yahweh!” Kinunak, “Saanko nga ammo ti agsao, ta ubingak unay.”
And I said, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am [but] a lad.
7 Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Saanmo a kunaen, 'Ubingak unay'. Masapul a mapanka iti sadinoman a pangibaonak kenka, ken masapul nga ibagam ti aniaman nga ibilinko kenka!
And the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am [but] a lad; but to whomsoever I may send thee shalt thou go, and whatsoever I may command thee shalt thou speak.
8 Saanka a mabuteng kadakuada, ta addaak kenka a mangispal kenka—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Ket inyunnat ni Yahweh ti imana, sinagidna ti ngiwatko ket kinunana kaniak, “Ita, inkabilko ti saok iti ngiwatmo.
And the Lord stretched forth his hand, and touched [me] therewith on my mouth; and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Dutokanka ita nga aldaw kadagiti nasion ken kadagiti pagarian, a mangparut ken mangrebba, a mangdadael ken mangparmek, a mangbangon ken mangimula.”
See, I have appointed thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down: to build up, and to plant.
11 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana, “Ania ti makitam Jeremias? Kinunak, “Makitak ti maysa a sanga ti almendras.”
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, A staff of all almond-tree do I see.
12 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Husto ti nakitam, ta sipsiputak ti saok tapno maipatungpal daytoy.”
And the Lord said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watching over my word to perform it.
13 Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh iti maikadua a daras, a kunana, “Ania ti makitam?” Kinunak, “Makitak ti maysa a kaldero nga agburburek ti linaonna, nakatingeg manipud iti amianan.”
And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A seething pot do I see; and the front thereof is turned from the north.
14 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Addanto tumaud a didigra manipud amianan a sagrapen dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy a daga.
And the Lord said unto me, Out of the north shall the evil break forth over all the inhabitants of the land,
15 Ta ay-ayabak dagiti amin a tribu kadagiti akin-amianan a pagarian, impakaammo ni Yahweh. Umaydanto, ket isaadto ti tunggal maysa ti tronona iti pagserkan kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem, kadagiti amin a pader a nakapalawlaw iti daytoy, ken kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda.
For, lo, I will call unto all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all its walls round about, and upon [those of] all the cities of Judah.
16 Kedngakto ida gapu iti amin a kinadakesda iti panangtallikudda kaniak, iti panangpuorda iti insenso a maipaay kadagiti didiosen, ken iti panangdayawda iti inaramid dagiti bukodda nga ima.
And I will call them to account touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and have bowed down unto the works of their own hands.
17 Agsaganaka! Tumakderka ket ibagam kadakuada ti aniaman nga ibilinko kenka. Saanka nga agbuteng iti sangoananda, ta no saan, ad-adda pay a pagbutngenka iti sangoananda!
But do thou gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I may command thee; be not discouraged because of them, lest I humble thee before them.
18 Denggem! Ita nga aldaw, pinagbalinka a nasarikedkedan a siudad, adigi a landok, ken bakud a bronse a maibusor iti entero a daga—maibusor kadagiti ari ti Juda, kadagiti opisiales daytoy, kadagiti padi daytoy, ken kadagiti tattao iti daga.
But I, behold, I have made of thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls over the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Bumusordanto kenka, ngem saandakanto a maparmek, ta addaakto kenka a mangispal kenka—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
And [although] they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee; for with thee am I saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
