¹Kuwanu waa erayadii Yeremyaah ina Xilqiyaah, oo ka mid ahaa wadaaddadii joogay Canaatood oo ku tiil dalka reer Benyaamiin.

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

²Waxaa isaga u yimid erayga Rabbiga wakhtigii uu Yoosiyaah ina Aamoon dalka Yahuudah boqor ka ahaa, sannaddii saddex iyo tobnaad ee boqortooyadiisa.

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,

³Oo 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.

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.

⁴Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, isagoo leh,

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

⁵Intaanan 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.

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.`

⁶Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, bal eeg, anigu ma aan hadli karo, waayo, dhallinyaraan ahay.

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

⁷Laakiinse 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.

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.

⁸Iyaga ha ka baqin, waayo, anigu waan kula jiraa inaan ku samatabbixiyo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

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

⁹Markaasaa Rabbigu gacanta soo fidiyey, oo afkayguu taabtay, kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg, Anigu erayadaydii ayaan afka kuugu riday.

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.

¹⁰Bal 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.

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.`

¹¹Oo weliba eraygii Rabbigu waa ii yimid, isagoo leh, Yeremyaahow, bal maxaad aragtaa? Oo aniguna waxaan idhi, Waxaan arkaa ul yicib ah.

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.`

¹²Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Si fiican baad wax u aragtay, waayo, eraygaygaan ka fiirsadaa si aan u oofiyo.

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

¹³Oo 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.

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.`

¹⁴Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Masiibo ayaa xagga woqooyi kaga soo kici doonta dadka dalka deggan oo dhan.

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

¹⁵Waayo, 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.

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.

¹⁶Oo 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.

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.

¹⁷Haddaba 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.

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.

¹⁸Waayo, 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.Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu way kula diriri doonaan, laakiinse kaama ay adkaan doonaan, waayo, waan kula jiraa inaan ku samatabbixiyo.

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;

¹⁹Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu way kula diriri doonaan, laakiinse kaama ay adkaan doonaan, waayo, waan kula jiraa inaan ku samatabbixiyo.

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