Yeremyaah 1
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Yeremyaah ina Xilqiyaah, oo ka mid ahaa wadaaddadii joogay Canaatood oo ku tiil dalka reer Benyaamiin.
[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 Waxaa isaga u yimid erayga Rabbiga wakhtigii uu Yoosiyaah ina Aamoon dalka Yahuudah boqor ka ahaa, sannaddii saddex iyo tobnaad ee boqortooyadiisa.
Yahweh started to give me these messages when Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years.
3 Oo wuxuu kaloo isaga u yimid wakhtigii Yehooyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah uu dalka Yahuudah boqor ka ahaa, iyo ilaa sannaddii kow iyo tobnaad ee Sidqiyaah ina Yoosiyaah uu dalka Yahuudah boqor ka ahaa, iyo ilaa waagii Yeruusaalem maxaabbiisahaanta loo kaxaystay bishii shanaad.
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 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, isagoo leh,
[One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
5 Intaanan uurkii hooyadaa kugu abuurin ayaan ku iqiin, oo intaadan uurka ka soo bixin ayaan quduus kaa dhigay, oo waxaan kuu doortay inaad nebi u noqotid quruumaha.
“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 Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, bal eeg, anigu ma aan hadli karo, waayo, dhallinyaraan ahay.
I replied, “O, Yahweh my God, I am [not qualified to] speak [for you], because I am very young!”
7 Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Ha odhan, Dhallinyaraan ahay, waayo, waa inaad u tagtaa qof kasta oo aan kuu diri doono, oo wax alla wixii aan kugu amri doonoba waa inaad ku hadashaa.
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 Iyaga ha ka baqin, waayo, anigu waan kula jiraa inaan ku samatabbixiyo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
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 Markaasaa Rabbigu gacanta soo fidiyey, oo afkayguu taabtay, kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg, Anigu erayadaydii ayaan afka kuugu riday.
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 Bal eeg, maantadan ayaan kaa kor yeelay quruumaha iyo boqortooyooyinkaba, inaad rujisid oo aad dumisid, iyo inaad baabbi'isid oo aad afgembidid, iyo inaad dhistid oo aad beertid.
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 Oo weliba eraygii Rabbigu waa ii yimid, isagoo leh, Yeremyaahow, bal maxaad aragtaa? Oo aniguna waxaan idhi, Waxaan arkaa ul yicib ah.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “I see a branch from an almond tree.”
12 Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Si fiican baad wax u aragtay, waayo, eraygaygaan ka fiirsadaa si aan u oofiyo.
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 Oo haddana mar labaad ayuu eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Maxaad aragtaa? Oo aniguna waxaan idhi, Waxaan arkaa dheri karaya, oo wuxuu ka soo jeedaa xagga woqooyi.
[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 Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Masiibo ayaa xagga woqooyi kaga soo kici doonta dadka dalka deggan oo dhan.
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 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu waxaan u yeedhi doonaa qolooyinka boqortooyooyinka woqooyi oo dhan, oo iyana way iman doonaan, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu carshigiisa dhigan doonaa irdaha Yeruusaalem laga soo galo, iyagoo ku kacsan derbiyadeeda ku wareegsan oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah oo dhan.
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 Oo anna waxaan kala hadli doonaa xukummadayda ku saabsan xumaantooda oo dhan, waayo, way iga tageen oo ilaahyo kale ayay foox u shideen, wayna u sujuudeen shuqulladii ay gacmahoodu sameeyeen.
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 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed guntiga dhexda ku giiji oo sara joogso, oo waxaad iyaga u sheegtaa wixii aan kugu amro oo dhan, oo yaanan hortooda kugu nixine innaba wejigooda ha ka nixin.
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 Waayo, bal eeg, maanta waxaan kaa dhigay magaalo deyr leh, iyo tiir bir ah, iyo derbiyo naxaas ah, oo dalka oo dhan col ku ah, oo col ku ah boqorrada dalka Yahuudah, iyo amiirradooda, iyo wadaaddadooda, iyo dadka dalka oo dhanba.
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 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu way kula diriri doonaan, laakiinse kaama ay adkaan doonaan, waayo, waan kula jiraa inaan ku samatabbixiyo.
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!”
