< Jeremiah 3 >

1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Would not that land be utterly polluted? But thou hast committed fornication with many lovers; yet return to me, saith Jehovah.
“Kunada, 'Adda maysa a lalaki a mangpatpatalaw iti asawana, isu a pimmanaw ti babai ket nagbalin nga asawa ti sabali a lalaki. Rumbeng kadi a sublien ti lalaki ti babai? Saan kadi a naan-anayen a narugit ti babai?' Dayta a babai ket daytoy a daga! Nagtignayka a kas iti balangkantis nga addaan iti adu a kaayan-ayat, ket ita kayatmo ti agsubli kaniak? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the heights and see, where hast thou not been lain with? In the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arab in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy fornications and with thy wickedness.
Tumangadka ket kumitaka kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod! Sadino ti saanmo a nakikaiddaan? Nagtugawka kadagiti igid dagiti daldalan a mangur-uray kadagiti kaayan-ayatmo, a kasla ka la tulisan nga agpadpadaan idiay let-ang. Tinulawam ti daga iti kinabalangkantis ken kinadangkesmo.
3 And the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; but thou hast a harlot's forehead, thou refusest to be ashamed.
Isu a nalapdan dagiti arbis ken saan a nagtinnag ti maudi a tudo. Ngem natangsit ta rupam a kas iti rupa ti balangkantis a babai. Saanmo ng ammo ti agbain.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
Manipud ita a tiempo, saankanto aya nga umawag kaniak a kunam, 'Amak! Sika ti kasingedan a gayyemko manipud pay kinaagtutubok.
5 Will he keep [his anger] for ever? Will he preserve it perpetually? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and thou art [so] determined.
Agnanayon kadi ti ungetmo? Pagtalinaedem kadi a kanayon ti ungetmo?' Dumngegka! Impakaammom nga agaramidka iti dakes, ket inaramidmo dayta. Itultuloymo ngarud nga aramiden dayta!”
6 And Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what backsliding Israel hath done? She hath gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath committed fornication.
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak kadagidi aldaw ni Josias nga ari, “Makitam kadi ti panangliput ti Israel kaniak? Mapan isuna iti tunggal nangato a bantay ken iti sirok ti tunggal nalangto a kayo, ket sadiay agtignay a kasla balangkantis a babai.
7 And I said, After she hath done all these [things], she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her sister Judah, the treacherous, saw [it].
Kinunak, 'Kalpasan a maaramidna amin dagitoy a banbanag, agsublinto isuna kaniak,' ngem saan nagsubli. Ket nakita ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda ti inaramidna.
8 And I saw that when for all the causes wherein backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce, yet the treacherous Judah, her sister, feared not, but went and committed fornication also.
Isu a nakitak a gapu kadagitoy amin a nakikamalala isuna. Managsukir nga Israel! Pinagtalawko isuna ket inikkak iti kasuratan ti panagsina. Ngem saan a nagbuteng ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda, ket rimmuar ken nagtigtignay met a kas iti balangkantis a babai!
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her fornication that she polluted the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Awan aniamanna kenkuana a tinulawanna ti daga, isu a nagaramidda kadagiti bato ken kayo a didiosen.
10 And even for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith Jehovah.
Ket kalpasan amin dagitoy, uray ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda ket saan a nagsubli kaniak iti amin a pusona, no di ket naginsusubli! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
11 And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more just than treacherous Judah.
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Nalinlinteg ti mangliliput nga Israel ngem iti nagulib a Juda!
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah: I will not make my face dark upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah; I will not keep [anger] for ever.
Mapanmo iwaragawag daytoy iti amianan. Kunaem, ''Agsublika, sika a mangliliput nga Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—saanakto a kanayon a makaunget kenka. Agsipud ta napudnoak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—saanak nga agnanayon a makaunget.”
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast turned thy ways hither and thither to the strangers under every green tree; and ye have not hearkened to my voice, saith Jehovah.
Bigbigem ti basolmo, ta nagbasolka kenni Yahweh a Diosmo; nakinaigka kadagiti ganggannaet iti sirok dagiti nalalangto a kayo! Ta saanmo nga impangag ti timekko! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
14 Return, backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you, and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
Agsublikayo, dakayo a saan a napudno a tattao! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta inasawakayo! Mangalaak kadakayo iti maysa manipud iti tunggal siudad, dua manipud iti tunggal puli, ket ipankayo idiay Sion!
15 And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Ikkankayto kadagiti agpaspastor nga iti pagayatanna ket ti pagayatak, ken idalandakayonto nga addaan iti pannakaammo ken kinasirib.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied in the land and become fruitful, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, Ark of the covenant of Jehovah! neither shall it come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit [it]; neither shall it be done any more.
Ket mapasamakto, nga umadu ken maaddaankayonto iti adu a kaputotan iti daytoy a daga kadagidiay nga al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Saandanton nga ibaga, “Ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh!” Saandanton a malagip daytoy, ta saandanto a panunoten ti maipanggep iti daytoy wenno ikaskaso daytoy. Daytoy a sao ket saanton a maibaga pay.'
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem; and they shall no more walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Iti dayta a tiempo, iwaragawagdanto maipanggep iti Jerusalem, 'Daytoy ti trono ni Yahweh,' ket aguummongto dagiti amin a nasion idiay Jerusalem iti nagan ni Yahweh. Saandanton nga aramiden dagiti dakes a tartarigagayanda.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel; and they shall come together out of the land of the north, to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
Kadagidiay nga aldaw, makipagkaykaysanto ti balay ti Juda iti balay ti Israel. Agkuyogdanto nga umay manipud iti daga iti amianan ket mapanda iti daga nga intedko a kas tawid kadagiti kapuonanyo.
19 And as for me, I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee the pleasant land, the goodly inheritance of the hosts of the nations? And I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following me.
No kaniak, kinunak, 'Kayatka a padayawan a kas anakko a lalaki ken ikkanka iti nasayaat a daga, maysa a tawid a napinpintas ngem iti adda iti sadinnoman a nasion!' Imbagak koma nga, 'Awagandak nga “amak”.' Imbagak koma a saankanto a sumina iti panangsurotmo kaniak.
20 Surely [as] a woman treacherously departeth from her companion, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.
Ngem kas iti babai a saan a napudno iti asawana, liniputannak, sika a balay ti Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
21 A voice is heard upon the heights, the weeping supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God.
“Adda ariwawa a mangngeg kadagiti patad, ti panagsangit ken panagpakaasi dagiti tattao ti Israel! Ta binaliwanda dagiti wagasda; nalipatandak, Siak a ni Yahweh a Diosda.
22 — Return, backsliding children; I will heal your backslidings. ...Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God.
Agsublikayo, dakayo a tattao a nangtallikud iti Apo! Paimbagenkayo iti kinamanangallilawyo!” “Adtoy! Umaykami kenka, ta sika ni Yahweh a Diosmi!
23 Truly in vain [is salvation looked for] from the hills, [and] the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
Ulbod laeng ti agtaud kadagiti turod, manipud kadagiti adu a bantay. Pudno a ti pannakaisalakan ti Israel ket adda laeng kenni Yahweh a Diostayo.
24 But shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Ngem dagiti nakababain a didiosen ket inalun-onda dagiti nagbannogan dagiti kapuonantayo— dagiti arban iti karnero ken bakada, dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai!
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God.
Agiddatayo a sibabain. Abbongannatayo koma ti pannakaibabaintayo, ta nagbasoltayo kenni Yahweh a Diostayo! Datayo a mismo ken dagiti kapuonantayo, manipud idi tiempo ti kinaagtutubotayo agingga kadagitoy nga agdama nga aldaw, saantayo a dimngeg iti timek ni Yahweh a Diostayo!”
