¹The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

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

²to whom the word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

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

³It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

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.

⁴Now the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁴Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, isagoo leh,

⁵“Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

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.

⁶Then I said, “Ah, Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”

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

⁷But Yahweh said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak.

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.

⁸Don’t be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you,” says Yahweh.

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

⁹Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.

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

¹⁰Behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

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.

¹¹Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”

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

¹²Then Yahweh said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”

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

¹³The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”

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.

¹⁴Then Yahweh said to me, “Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.

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

¹⁵For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says Yahweh; “and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.

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.

¹⁶I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.

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.

¹⁷“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.

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.

¹⁸For, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

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.

¹⁹They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you,” says Yahweh, “to deliver you.”

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