Jeremiah 13
1 [One day] Yahweh said to me, “Go and buy a linen waistcloth. Put it on, but do not wash it.”
Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka gumatang iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a lino ket ibidangmo daytoy, ngem saanmo pay laeng a basaen daytoy.”
2 So I bought a [very nice] waistcloth, which is what Yahweh told me to do, and I put it on.
Isu a gimmatangak iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a kas imbilin ni Yahweh, ket imbidangko daytoy.
3 Then [later] Yahweh gave me another message.
Kalpasanna, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak iti maikadua a daras a kinunana,
4 He said, “Go to the small Perath Stream [near Jerusalem] and hide your waistcloth in a crevice/hole in the rocks.”
“Alaem ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a ginatangmo a nakabarikes iti siketmo, tumakderka ket mapanka idiay Eufrates. Ilemmengmo daytoy sadiay iti maysa a rengngat iti bato.”
5 So I went to the stream and did what Yahweh told me to do.
Isu a napanak ket inlemmengko daytoy idiay Eufrates a kas imbilin ni Yahweh kaniak.
6 A long time later, Yahweh said to me, “Go [back] to that stream and get the waistcloth that I told you to hide there.”
Kalpasan iti adu nga aldaw, kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Tumakderka ket agsublika idiay Eufrates. Alaem manipud sadiay ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga imbagak kenka nga ilemmengmo.”
7 So I went to the Perath Stream and dug out the waistcloth from the crevice/hole in which I had hidden it. But it was ruined, and useless.
Isu a nagsubliak idiay Eufrates ket kinalik ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti nangilemmengak iti daytoy. Ngem idi kinitak, nadadael ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay; awanen iti serserbi daytoy.
8 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Kalpasanna, immay manen ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
9 “[What happened to your waistcloth] shows that I will destroy the things that [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah are very proud of.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Iti kasta met laeng a wagas, dadaelekto ti napalalo a kinatangsit ti Juda ken ti Jerusalem.
10 Those wicked people refuse to pay attention to what I say. They stubbornly do just what they desire to do; they worship other gods. Therefore, they will become completely useless, like your waistcloth.
Dagitoy a nadangkes a tattao a nagkedked a dumngeg iti saok, nga agbibiag iti kinatangken ti pusoda, a simmurot kadagiti didiosen tapno agdayaw ken agrukbabda kadagitoy- kasladanto iti daytoy nga akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga awan serserbina.
11 Just like a waistcloth clings closely/tightly to a man’s waist, I wanted the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah to cling closely to me. I wanted them to be my people, people who would praise me and honor me. But they would not pay attention [to me]. “
Ta kas iti irut ti pannakaisuot ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti siket ti maysa a tao, kasta ti panangpakapetko kaniak kadagiti amin a balay ti Israel ken kadagiti amin a balay ti Juda- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- nga agbalin a tattaok, a mangiyeg kaniak iti panangbigbig, panangdayaw ken panagraem. Ngem saanda a dumngeg kaniak.
12 “[So], tell this to them: ‘Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli [people worship], says that every leather wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And [when you tell that to them], they will reply, ‘(Of course/Certainly) we know [RHQ] that all wineskins should be filled with wine!’
Isu a masapul nga ibagam daytoy a sao kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Tunggal karamba ket mapunnonto iti arak.' Kunaendanto kenka, “Saanmi aya nga ammo a pudno a mapunnonto iti arak ti tunggal karamba?'
13 And then you must tell them, ‘No, that is not what Yahweh means. What he said means that he will cause this land to be filled with people who are drunk. [That will include all of you]—the king who sits on the throne that King David previously sat on, the priests and the prophets, and even the common people of Jerusalem.’
Isu nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, ngannganikon barteken ti tunggal agnanaed iti daytoy a daga, dagiti ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David, dagiti padi, dagiti profeta ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
14 [He is saying], ‘I will cause you to bash each other. [Even] parents will bash their children. I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you at all; pitying you will not prevent me from getting rid of you.’”
Ket pagbibinnusurekto dagiti tattao, dagiti amma ken dagiti annak- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saankonto ida a kaasian wenno makarikna iti panangisakit, ken saankonto ida nga ispalen iti pannakadadael.'”
15 [You people of Judah], pay very careful attention [DOU]. Do not be proud, because Yahweh has spoken to you.
Dumngegkayo ken ipangagyo. Saankayo nga agtangtangsit, ta ni Yahweh ti nagsao.
16 [It is as though] he is ready to bring darkness on you and to cause you to stumble and fall [as you walk] on the hills when it is becoming dark. [So] praise/honor Yahweh your God before that happens. If you do not do that, you will look for light, but all you will see is darkness and gloom.
Dayawenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo sakbay nga iyegna ti kinasipnget, ken sakbay a pagtibkulennakayo kadagiti bantay iti sumipnget. Ta mangnamnamakayo iti lawag, ngem pagsipngetennanto iti kasta unay ti lugar, pagbalinenna a nasipnget nga ulep.
17 And if you [still] refuse to heed what he says, [what will happen to you because of] your being proud will cause me to cry when I am alone. My eyes will be filled with tears because [you], Yahweh’s people, [whom he takes care of like a shepherd takes care of] [MET] his flock, will [all] be [captured by your enemies and] taken to other countries.
Isu a no saankayo a dumngeg, agsangitak nga agmaymaysa gapu iti kinatangsityo. Siguradonto nga agsangitak ken agayus dagiti luak, ta naipanaw a kas balud ti arban ni Yahweh.
18 [You people of Judah], say to the king and to his mother, “Come down from sitting on your thrones and [humbly] sit in the dust, because [your enemies] will soon snatch from your heads your glorious crowns.”
Ibagam iti ari ken iti ina a reyna, ''Agpakumbabakayo ket agtugawkayo, ta naikkaten dagiti korona iti uloyo, ti kinatan-okyo ken ti dayagyo.'
19 The towns in the southern part of Judah will be surrounded by your enemies, and no one will be able to get through their lines [to rescue the people in those towns]. [You people of] Judah will be captured and taken away; you will all be (exiled/taken [to foreign countries)].
Mairekepto dagiti siudad idiay Negeb, ket awan ti manglukat kadagitoy. Ti Juda ket maipanawto a kas balud, maipanawto a kas balud dagiti amin nga adda iti daytoy.
20 [You leaders of Jerusalem], open your eyes and look: [The enemy armies are ready to] march down from the north. [When that happens], what will happen to [RHQ] the [people of Judah who are like] a beautiful flock of sheep, people that he gave to you to take care of?
Tumangadka ket kitaem dagiti um-umay manipud iti amianan. Ayan ti arban nga intedna kenka, ti arban a napintas unay kenka?
21 What will you say [RHQ] when Yahweh appoints people from other countries to rule over you, people who you [mistakenly] thought were your friends? You will [RHQ] suffer very much pain, like a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.
Anianto ngata ti ibagam inton ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngatoem dagiti sinuroam tapno agbalin a gagayyemmo? Saan aya a dagitoy ti pangrugian dagiti ut-ot a mangparigatto kenka a kas iti maysa a babai nga agpaspasikal?
22 You will ask yourselves, “Why is this happening to us?” [I will reply that] it is because of your many sins. That is why [soldiers of the invading armies] will lift up the skirts [of your women] and rape them.
Ket mabalin a kunaem iti pusom, 'Apay a mapaspasamak kaniak dagitoy a banbanag?' Dagiti nakaad-adu unay a basolmo it makagapu a nailukais dagiti paldam ken nagundawayanka.
23 A man from Ethiopia certainly cannot [RHQ] change the color of his [black] skin, and a leopard certainly cannot [RHQ] change its spots. Similarly, you cannot start doing what is good, because you have always done what is evil.
Kabaelan aya a sukatan dagiti tattao ti Kuz dagiti maris ti kudilda, wenno kabaelan aya a sukatan ti maysa a leopardo ti labang daytoy? No kabaelanda, sika a mismo, uray naruamka iti kinadangkes, mabaelam koma met ngarud ti agaramid iti nasayaat.
24 [Yahweh says], “I will scatter you like chaff that is blown away by the wind from the desert.
Isu nga iwarawarakto ida a kas iti taep nga agpukaw iti angin ti let-ang.
25 That is what is certainly going to happen to you; the things that I have determined will happen to you, because you have forgotten me, and you are trusting in false [gods].
Daytoy ti intedko kenka, ti bingay nga intudingko para kenka- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- gapu ta linipatnak ken nagtalekka iti inaallilaw.
26 [It is as though] I myself will pull your skirts up over your faces and cause you to be very ashamed because everyone will be able to see your sex organs.
Isu a Siak a mismo, ikkatekto dagiti paldam, ket makitanto dagiti paset ti bagim nga illemlemmengmo.
27 I have seen that you [act like men who are eager to commit adultery]; you are like male horses that whinny when they desire [to have sex with] a female horse. I have seen that you worship disgusting idols in the fields and on the hills. [You people of] Jerusalem, terrible things will happen to you! How long will it be [RHQ] until you are acceptable to me [again]?”
Ti pannakikammalalam ken panaggartemmo, ti nakababain a dinederrep a kababalinmo iti rabaw dagiti turod ken kadagiti tay-ak! Ipakitakto dagitoy, dagitoy a makarimon a banbanag! Asika pay Jerusalem! Saankan a nadalus. Kasano pay kabayag ti panagtultuloy daytoy?”
