< Jeremia 1 >

1 Ny tenin’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Hilkia, isan’ ny mpisorona tao Anatota, tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina,
The wordes of Ieremiah the sonne of Hilkiah one of the Priests that were at Anathoth in the lande of Beniamin.
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 worde of the Lord came in the dayes of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah in the thirteenth yeere of his reigne:
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 also in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah vnto the ende of the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah, the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, euen vnto the carying away of Ierusalem captiue in the fift moneth.
4 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Then the worde of the Lord came vnto 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 the wombe, I knewe thee, and before thou camest out of the wombe, I sanctified thee, and ordeined thee to be a Prophet vnto the nations.
6 Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.
Then said I, Oh, Lord God, behold, I can not speake, for I am a childe.
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 vnto me, Say not, I am a childe: for thou shalt goe to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoeuer I command thee, shalt thou speake.
8 Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Be not afraide of their faces: for I am with thee to deliuer 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 stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said vnto me, Beholde, I haue put my wordes 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.
Beholde, this day haue I set thee ouer the nations and ouer the kingdomes to plucke vp, and to roote out, and to destroye and throwe downe, to builde, 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.
After this the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, Ieremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almonde tree.
12 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.
Then saide the Lord vnto me, Thou hast seene aright: for I will hasten my worde to performe 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.
Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I saide, I see a seething pot looking out of the North.
14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Hiroatra avy any avaratra ny loza hanjo ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
Then saide the Lord vnto me, Out of the North shall a plague be spred vpon 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 loe, I will call all the families of the kingdomes of the North, saith the Lord, and they shall come, and euery one shall set his throne in the entring of the gates of Ierusalem, and on all the walles thereof rounde about, and in all the cities of Iudah.
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 declare vnto them my iudgements touching all the wickednesse of them that haue forsaken me, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, and worshipped the workes of their owne handes.
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 trusse vp thy loynes, and arise and speake vnto them all that I commaund thee: be not afraide of their faces, lest I destroy 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 I, beholde, I this day haue made thee a defenced citie, and an yron pillar and walles of brasse against the whole lande, against the Kings of Iudah, and against the princes thereof, against the Priestes thereof and against the people of the lande.
19 Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
For they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, sayth the Lord.
