Zeremaia 1
1 Ama nanekea Benjamini nagamofo mopafi me'nea rankuma Anatoti kumate nemaniza pristi vahepinti, mago ne' Hilkia'e nehaza ne'mofo nemofo Jeremaia huama hu'nea naneke.
[I], Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, [am writing] these messages. [I am] a priest, from Anathoth [town] in the area where the tribe of Benjamin [lives].
2 Ama ana nanekema Ra Anumzamo'ma agafama huno Jeremaiama asami'neana, Amoni nemofo Josia'ma Juda vahe kinima manino egeno 13nima hia kafufi asami'ne.
Yahweh started to give me these messages when Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years.
3 Hagi Josia nemofo Jehoiakimi'ma Juda vahe kinima manino'ma e'nea knafinena Ra Anumzamo'a ana zanke huno Jeremaiana nanekea asamigeno, huama huno ne-egeno, Josiana mago mofavre'a Zedeki'ama kinima efore huteno manino egeno 11nima hia kafure ehanati'ne. Anama 11nima hia kafumofona 5fu ikampi ha' vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi kumapi vahera eme zamavare'za ru moparega ome kina huzmante'naze.
Yahweh continued to give me more messages when Josiah’s son Jehoiakim was the king, and he continued to do that until Zedekiah had been the king of Judah for almost eleven years. It was in August of that year that the people of Jerusalem were (exiled/taken as prisoners) [to Babylonia].
4 Anante Jeremaia'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.
[One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
5 Antakamofo arimpafina kazeri forera osune'na ko kagrira kage'na antahi'na hu'noe. Hagi negarera'a kaseogante'nege'na ko kagrira kazerinte ruotage nehu'na, kokankoka vahete Nagri kasnampa vahe manigahane hu'na kagrira huhampri'noe.
“I knew you before I [finished] forming you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born, I (set you apart/chose you) and I appointed you to be [my] prophet [whose messages would be] for [all] nations.”
6 Ana ke'ma hige'na nagra kenona hu'na, Ra Anumzana Anumzamoka nagra mensi kasefa mofavre mani'noanki'na, vahe avufima keagama hu'zana antahini osu'noe hu'na hu'noe.
I replied, “O, Yahweh my God, I am [not qualified to] speak [for you], because I am very young!”
7 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne. Kagra mofavre mani'noe hunka osuo. Nagrama inantego vuoma hu'na hugantesua kumatega nevunka, maka nanekema kasamisuana ome huama hunka vahera zamasamigahane.
Yahweh replied, “Do not say that, because you must go to everyone to whom I will send you, and you must tell them everything that I tell you to say.
8 Hagi mago vahekura kagra korera osuo. Na'ankure Nagra kagrane manine'na kegava hugantegahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
And you must not be afraid of the people [to whom you will speak], because I will protect you [from being harmed by them]. [This will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
9 Anagema huteno'a Ra Anumzamo'a azana antegamateno nagite avako nehuno amanage hu'ne, antahio, menina Nagra nanekeni'a kagri kagipi ama nentoe.
Then [it was as though] Yahweh touched my mouth and said, “Listen to me! I am (putting my message into your mouth/telling you what you must speak).
10 Hagi menina Nagra kagrira huhampruankinka, kokankoka vahete'ene kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafinena vano nehunka, ko'ma me'nesiazana eri tasagi hune atrenka, ko'ma menesiazana eri taganavinetrenka, ko'ma me'nesiazana eri haviza hunetrenka, ko'ma me'nesiazana eri akaha hunetrenka, kasefaza eri otinka neginka, kasefaza hankregahane.
Today I am appointing you to warn nations and kingdoms. You will tell them that I will completely destroy and get rid of [DOU] some of them and that I will establish [MET] others and cause them to be strong.”
11 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nantahige'ne. Jeremaiaga na'a negane? Huno hige'na nagra hu'na, Almoni zafamofo azankuna'a negoe hu'na hu'noe.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “I see a branch from an almond tree.”
12 Anagema hugeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ha tamage hunka keama hane. Hagi Nagra keni'are navu ante'na ke'nesanugeno maka zama fore hugahie hu'nama hu'noa nanekemo'a nena raga'a regahie.
Yahweh said, “That is correct. And [because the word for ‘almond’ resembles the word for ‘watching’], it means that I am watching [what will happen], and I will make certain that what I have said to you [about destroying nations] will happen.”
13 Hagi anante Ra Anumzano'a mago'ene ete nantahigeno, Menina na'a kane? Hige'na nagra kenona hu'na, kavofi me'neno krakra nehia timo noti kazigati ruvarehi ramino tagrama mani'nontega e'za nehige'na negoe.
[Then] Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “What do you see [now]?” I replied, “I see a pot full of boiling [water] [MTY]. It is tipping [toward me] from the north.”
14 Anagema hugeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a huno, E'i ana zama kanana noti kazigati ranknazamo'a ru herafiramino eno ama mopafima nemaniza vahera eme zamazeri haviza hugahie.
Yahweh replied, “[Yes! It means that] from the north great trouble/destruction will [spread] [MET] over this land, [like boiling water] [MET] pouring [from a pot].
15 Hagi antahio, Nagra noti kazigama me'nea moparamima kegavama hu'naza kini vahetamina ke hanuge'za e'za, Jerusalemi rankumamofo kafaraminte kini trazamia eme ante'za nemani'za, Jerusalemi rankumamofo vihu kegina eme kegava nehu'za maka Juda mopafima me'nea kumataminena kegava hugahaze.
Listen to what I say: I am summoning [the armies of] kingdoms that will come from the north [of Judah] to Jerusalem. Their kings will set up their thrones at the gates of this city [to indicate that they are now the kings of Judah]. [Their armies] will attack [and break down] the walls of this city, and [they will do the same thing to] all the [other] towns in Judah.
16 Hagi e'inahu zama hanua zamo'a, Nagri vahe'mo'zama havi zamavu zamava'ma hu'naza zante keaga huzmante'na anara hugahue. Na'ankure zamagra Nagrira zamefi hunenami'za vu'za, zamazanteti'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante kresramna nevu'za monora hunte'naze.
I will punish [MTY] my people because of all the evil things that they have done; they have abandoned me and they worship gods/idols. They worship idols that they have made with their own hands!
17 Hagi kagra Jeremaiaga otinka retrotra hunka, Nagrama huoma hu'na hugantoa nanekea vahera maka ome zamasamio. Kagra zamagrikura korora osuo. Hagi kagrama koro'ma hananke'na zamagri zamavuga kazeri koro hugahue.
So, get up and put on your clothes [to get ready for action]! Then go to the people of Judah and tell them everything that I tell you to say. Do not be afraid of them, because [if you are afraid of them], I will cause you to be truly terrified in front of them!
18 Hagi Jeremaiaga antahio, mago rankumamofoma hanave vihu keginama hu kagizankna hu'na kagrira menina kazeri hanavenetina, aenireti fumaza zafa retru rentazankna kagrira nehu'na, bronsireti kuma kegina hugagi zankna hugahue. Ana hanugenka kagra oti hankave ti'nesanke'za, maka ama ana mopafi vahemo'zane Juda kini vahemo'zane, kva vahemo'zane, pristi vahemo'zane, Juda vahe'mo'zanena kazeri fenkami otregahaze.
But listen! I will cause you to be [strong, like] [MET] a city that has strong walls around it. You will be [as strong as] [MET] an iron pillar or a bronze wall. None of the kings or officials or priests will be able to defeat you.
19 Hagi zamagra hara hugantegahazanagi, hara hugagate oregahaze. Na'ankure Nagra kagrane mani'nena kaguvazigahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a huama hu'ne.
They will oppose you, but they will not be able to defeat you, because I will be with you and will protect you. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
