Jeremias 1

1Ang mga salita ni Jeremias na anak ni Hilcias, isa sa mga saserdote na nasa Anathoth sa lupain ng Benjamin: 2Na dinatnan ng salita ng Panginoon nang mga kaarawan ni Josias na anak ni Amon, na hari sa Juda, nang ikalabing tatlong taon ng kaniyang paghahari. 3Dumating din nang kaarawan ni Joacim na anak ni Josias, hari sa Juda, nang katapusan nang ikalabing isang taon ni Sedechias, na anak ni Josias, hari sa Juda, hanggang sa pagkabihag ng Jerusalem nang ikalimang buwan. 4Ang salita nga ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi, 5Bago kita inanyuan sa tiyan ay nakilala kita, at bago ka lumabas sa bahay-bata ay pinapaging banal kita; inihalal kitang propeta sa mga bansa. 6Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Ah, Panginoong Dios! narito, hindi ako marunong magsalita: sapagka't ako'y bata. 7Nguni't sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Huwag mong sabihin, Ako'y bata: sapagka't saan man kita susuguin ay paroroon ka, at anomang iutos ko sa iyo ay sasalitain mo. 8Huwag kang matakot dahil sa kanila; sapagka't ako'y sumasaiyo upang iligtas kita, sabi ng Panginoon. 9Nang magkagayo'y iniunat ng Panginoon ang kaniyang kamay, at hinipo ang aking bibig; at sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Narito, inilagay ko ang aking mga salita sa iyong bibig: 10Tingnan mo, aking pinapagpupuno ka sa araw na ito sa mga bansa at sa mga kaharian, upang magalis at magbagsak at upang magsira at magwasak, upang magtayo at magtatag. 11Bukod dito ay dumating sa akin ang salita ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Jeremias, anong nakikita mo? At aking sinabi, Ako'y nakakakita ng isang tungkod na almendro. 12Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Iyong nakitang mabuti: sapagka't aking iniingatan ang aking salita upang isagawa. 13At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na ikalawa, na nagsasabi, Ano ang iyong nakikita? At aking sinabi, Ako'y nakakakita ng isang palyok na pinagpapakuluan; at paharap sa hilagaan. 14Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Mula sa hilagaan ay lalabasin ng kasamaan ang lahat na nananahan sa lupain. 15Sapagka't, narito, aking tatawagin ang lahat na angkan ng mga kaharian sa hilagaan, sabi ng Panginoon; at sila'y magsisiparoon, at sila'y maglalagay bawa't isa ng kanikaniyang luklukan sa pasukan ng mga pintuang-bayan ng Jerusalem, at laban sa lahat na kuta niyaon sa palibot, at laban sa lahat na bayan ng Juda. 16At aking sasalitain ang aking mga kahatulan laban sa kanila tungkol sa lahat nilang kasamaan, sa kanilang nangagpabaya sa akin, at nangagsunog ng kamangyan sa ibang mga dios, at nagsisamba sa mga gawa ng kanilang sariling mga kamay. 17Ikaw nga'y magbigkis ng iyong mga balakang, at ikaw ay bumangon, at salitain mo sa kanila ang lahat na iniuutos ko sa iyo: huwag kang manglupaypay sa kanila, baka ikaw ay panglupaypayin ko sa harap nila. 18Sapagka't, narito, ginawa kita sa araw na ito, na nakukutaang bayan, at pinakahaliging bakal, at pinaka kutang tanso, laban sa buong lupain, laban sa mga hari sa Juda, laban sa mga prinsipe niyaon, laban sa mga saserdote niyaon, at laban sa bayan ng lupain. 19At sila'y magsisilaban sa iyo; nguni't hindi sila mangananaig laban sa iyo: sapagka't ako'y sumasa iyo, sabi ng Panginoon, upang iligtas ka.

1The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 2to whom Yahweh’s word came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 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. 4Now Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 5“Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” 6Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.” 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. 8Don’t be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you,” says Yahweh. 9Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth; and Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 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.” 11Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12Then Yahweh said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.” 13Yahweh’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.” 14Then Yahweh said to me, “Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land. 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. 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. 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. 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. 19They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says Yahweh, “to deliver you.”

1De woorden van Jeremia, den zoon van Hilkia, uit de priesteren, die te Anathoth waren, in het land van Benjamin; 2Tot welken het woord des HEEREN geschiedde, in de dagen van Josia, zoon van Amon, koning van Juda, in het dertiende jaar zijner regering. 3Ook geschiedde het tot hem in de dagen van Jojakim, zoon van Josia, koning van Juda, totdat voleind werd het elfde jaar van Zedekia, zoon van Josia, koning van Juda; totdat Jeruzalem gevankelijk werd weggevoerd in de vijfde maand. 4Het woord des HEEREN dan geschiedde tot mij, zeggende: 5Eer Ik u in moeders buik formeerde, heb Ik u gekend, en eer gij uit de baarmoeder voortkwaamt, heb Ik u geheiligd; Ik heb u den volken tot een profeet gesteld. 6Toen zeide ik: Ach, Heere HEERE! zie, ik kan niet spreken, want ik ben jong. 7Maar de HEERE zeide tot mij: Zeg niet: Ik ben jong; want overal, waarhenen Ik u zenden zal, zult gij gaan, en alles, wat Ik u gebieden zal, zult gij spreken. 8Vrees niet voor hun aangezicht, want Ik ben met u, om u te redden, spreekt de HEERE. 9En de HEERE stak Zijn hand uit, en roerde mijn mond aan; en de HEERE zeide tot mij: Zie, Ik geef Mijn woorden in uw mond. 10Zie, Ik stel u te dezen dage over de volken en over de koninkrijken, om uit te rukken, en af te breken, en te verderven, en te verstoren; ook om te bouwen en te planten. 11Wijders geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: Wat ziet gij, Jeremia? En ik zeide: Ik zie een amandelroede. 12En de HEERE zeide tot mij: Gij hebt wel gezien; want Ik zal wakker zijn over Mijn woord, om dat te doen. 13En des HEEREN woord geschiedde ten tweeden male tot mij, zeggende: Wat ziet gij? En ik zeide: Ik zie een ziedenden pot, welks voorste deel tegen het noorden is. 14En de HEERE zeide tot mij: Van het noorden zal zich dit kwaad opdoen over alle inwoners des lands. 15Want zie, Ik roep alle geslachten der koninkrijken van het noorden, spreekt de HEERE; en zij zullen komen, en zetten een iegelijk zijn troon voor de deur der poorten van Jeruzalem, en tegen al haar muren rondom, en tegen alle steden van Juda. 16En Ik zal Mijn oordelen tegen hen uitspreken over al hun boosheid; dat zij Mij verlaten hebben, en anderen goden gerookt, en zich gebogen hebben voor de werken hunner handen. 17Gij dan, gord uw lendenen, en maakt u op, en spreek tot hen alles, wat Ik u gebieden zal; wees niet verslagen voor hun aangezicht, opdat Ik u voor hun aangezicht niet versla. 18Want zie, Ik stel u heden tot een vaste stad, en tot een ijzeren pilaar, en tot koperen muren tegen het ganse land; tegen de koningen van Juda, tegen haar vorsten, tegen haar priesteren, en tegen het volk van het land. 19En zij zullen tegen u strijden, maar tegen u niet vermogen; want Ik ben met u, spreekt de HEERE, om u uit te helpen.
