Jeremia 1
1 Ny tenin’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Hilkia, isan’ ny mpisorona tao Anatota, tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina,
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [were] 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 the LORD came in the days of Josiah the 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.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Then the word of the LORD came 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 formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet to the nations.
6 Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
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.
But the LORD said to me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Dia naninjitra ny tànany Jehovah ka nanendry ny vavako, ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Indro, efa nataoko ao am-bavanao ny teniko,
Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy 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 this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull 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.
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, What seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
12 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.
Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform 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 the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and its face [is] towards the north.
14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Hiroatra avy any avaratra ny loza hanjo ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the 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 lo, I will call 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 against all its walls around, and against all the 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 will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped 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.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee 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.
For behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
