¹[Ny niantsoana an'i Jeremia ho mpaminany, sy ny nanambarana taminy izay ho raharahany] Ny tenin'i Jeremia, zanak'i Hilkia, isan'ny mpisorona tao Anatota, tamin'ny tanin'ny Benjamina,

¹Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,

²izay nanambarana ny tenin'i Jehovah tamin'ny andron'i Josia, zanak'i Amona, mpanjakan'ny Joda, tamin'ny taona fahatelo ambin'ny folo nanjakany,

²unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,

³sy 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.

³and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

⁴Tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

⁴And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

⁵Hatry 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.

⁵`Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.`

⁶Ary hoy kosa aho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! indro, tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, fa mbola zaza.

⁶And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known — to speak, for I [am] a youth.`

⁷Fa hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza manao hoe: Mbola zaza aho; fa handeha amin'izay rehetra hanirahako anao ianao, ary izay rehetra handidiako anao no hambaranao.

⁷And Jehovah saith unto me, `Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.

⁸Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

⁸Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee [am] I to deliver thee, — an affirmation of Jehovah.`

⁹Dia naninjitra ny tànany Jehovah ka nanendry ny vavako, ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Indro, efa nataoko ao am-bavanao ny teniko,

⁹And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, `Lo, I have put my words in thy mouth.

¹⁰ary 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.

¹⁰See, I have charged thee 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.`

¹¹Ary tonga tamiko indray ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ry Jeremia, inona izao hitanao izao? Ary hoy izaho: Rantsan-kazo mahatsiaro no hitako.[Ny amygdala no ataon'ny Hebreo hoe "hazo mahatsiaro", satria mamony alohan'ny hazo sasany]

¹¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?` And I say, `A rod of an almond tree I am seeing.`

¹²Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Marina ny ahitanao azy; fa mahatsiaro Aho mba hahatanteraka ny teniko.

¹²And Jehovah saith unto me, `Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.`

¹³Ary 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.

¹³And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, `What art thou seeing?` And I say, `A blown pot I am seeing, and its face [is] from the north.`

¹⁴Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Hiroatra avy any avaratra ny loza hanjo ny mponina rehetra amin'ny tany.

¹⁴And Jehovah saith unto me, `From the north is the evil loosed against all inhabitants of the land.

¹⁵Fa, 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.

¹⁵For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of Judah.

¹⁶Ary 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.

¹⁶And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.

¹⁷Fa 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.

¹⁷`And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen, and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted because of them, lest I affright thee before them.

¹⁸Indro, 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.Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁸And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;

¹⁹Fa hiady aminao ireny, nefa tsy hahaleo anao, satria momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁹and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee [am] I, — an affirmation of Jehovah — to deliver thee.
