Jeremia 1
1 Ny tenin’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Hilkia, isan’ ny mpisorona tao Anatota, tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina,
Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
2 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,
to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 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.
and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
5 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.
“Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.
And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
7 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.
And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
8 Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
9 Dia naninjitra ny tànany Jehovah ka nanendry ny vavako, ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Indro, efa nataoko ao am-bavanao ny teniko,
And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 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.
See, I have charged you 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.”
11 Ary tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ry Jeremia, inona izao hitanao izao? Ary hoy izaho: Rantsan-kazo mahatsiaro no hitako.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
12 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.
And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
13 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.
And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Hiroatra avy any avaratra ny loza hanjo ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
15 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.
For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
16 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.
And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
17 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.
And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
18 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.
And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
19 Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
