Jeremia 1
1 Ty enta’ Iirmeà ana’ i Kilkià mpiamo mpisoroñe nte-Anatote an-tane’ Beniamìneo,
The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, —of the priests who were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin:
2 ie nivotraha’ ty tsara’ Iehovà tañ’andro’ Iosià ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, amy taom-paha folo-telo-ambi’ i fifehea’ey.
unto whom came the word of Yahweh, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, —in the thirteenth year of his reign;
3 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.
it came also in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, —as far as the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
4 Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
So then, the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
5 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.
Before I formed thee at thy birth, I took knowledge of thee, And before thy nativity, I hallowed thee, —A prophet to the nations, I appointed thee.
6 Le hoe ty nataoko, Ehe Talè Iehovà! Izaho tsy mahafivolañe, fa mbe anak’ ajaja.
Then said I—Ah! My Lord Yahweh! Lo! I know not how to speak, —For a child, am I!
7 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.
Then said Yahweh unto me, Do not say, A child, am, I,—For against whomsoever I send thee, shalt thou go, And whatsoever I command thee, shalt thou speak:
8 Ko ihembaña’o; fa mpiama’o iraho handrombak’ azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
Be not afraid of their faces, For with thee, am I, to deliver thee Declareth Yahweh.
9 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;
Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth, —and Yahweh said unto me, Lo! I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Oniño te androany ty nampijadoñako azo ambone’ o fifelehañeo naho o fifeheañeo. Ty hañombotse naho hampigorobañe, ty hamotsake naho handrotsake; ty handranjy vaho hambole.
See! I have set thee in charge this day, over the nations and over the kingdoms, To uproot and to break down, and to destroy and to tear in pieces, —To build and to plant.
11 Mbore nimb’amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe: O Iirmeà, mahaisake ino v-iheo? le hoe ty asako: Mahatrea ty tsampa-mahabibo.
Moreover the Word of Yahweh came unto me saying, What canst thou see Jeremiah? And I said, A twig of an almond-tree, can I see.
12 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Toe nahaonin-drehe; fa jilojiloveko o volakoo hahatafeterako aze.
Then said Yahweh unto me—Thou hast rightly seen, —for keeping watch, am I over my word to perform it.
13 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.
And the word of Yahweh came unto me a second time saying, What canst thou see? And I said, A boiling caldron, can I see, with, the front thereof, on the North.
14 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà tamako: Ho boroboñafe’ ty hekoheko boak’ avaratse añe amy ze hene’ndaty an-tane atoy.
Then said Yahweh unto me, —Out of the North, shall break forth calamity, against all the inhabitants of the land.
15 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.
For behold me! calling for all the families of the kingdoms of the North, Declareth Yahweh, —and they shall come, and set every one his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem and against all her walls round about, and against all the cities of Judah!
16 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.
Then will I pronounce my judgments against them, concerning all their wickedness, —in that they have forsaken me and have burned incense unto other gods, and have bowed down to the works of their own hands,
17 Ihe arè, mampidiaña vania vaho miavòta, saontsio ze hene amantohako azo; ko ifimpìña’o, tsy mone hampitsolofiñeko añatrefa’iereo.
Thou, therefore, shalt gird thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them, all that, I, command thee, —be not dismayed because of them, lest I dismay thee before their face.
18 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.
I, therefore—lo! I have set thee to-day as a fortified city, and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze, over all the land, —against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests and against the people of the land.
19 Toe hialia’ iereo; fe tsy hahagioke, amy te ama’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, hañahako azo.
And they will fight against thee but shall not prevail against thee, —for with thee, am I, Declareth Yahweh, to deliver thee.
