< Jeremiah 16 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
Kalpasanna immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh, kunana,
2 “Do not get married and have children in this land,
“Saanka a mangasawa ken saanka a pumutot iti daytoy a lugar.
3 because this is what [I], Yahweh, say about the children who are born in this city, and about their mothers and fathers:
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kadagiti annak a lallaki ken babbai a naiyanak iti daytoy a lugar, kadagiti inna a nangipasngay ken kadagiti amma a nangiputot kadakuada iti daytoy a daga,
4 [Many of] them will die from terrible diseases. And no one will mourn for them. No one will even bury their corpses; the corpses will lie on the ground, [scattered] like manure. [Others] will die in wars or from hunger, and [then] their corpses will become food for vultures and wild animals.”
'Mataydanto gapu kadagiti nakaro a sakit. Saandanto a madung-awan wenno maipunpon. Maiyarigdanto iti takki iti daga. Ta aggibusdanto babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin, ket dagiti bangkayda, agbalinto a taraon dagiti billit iti tangatang ken dagiti narungsot nga ayup iti daga.
5 This is [also] what Yahweh said to me: “Do not go to funerals to mourn or to show [those whose relatives have died] that you feel sorry for them, because I have stopped protecting them, and I have caused that things will not go well for them. I have stopped faithfully loving them and acting mercifully toward them.
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saanka a sumrek iti aniaman a balay nga adda panagladingit. Saanka a makipagladingit ken makipagrikna para kadagitoy a tattao. Ta inikkatkon ti kapiak, ti kinapudnok iti tulag, ken ti kinamanangngaasik kadagitoy a tattao! -kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh-
6 [Very many people] will die in this land, [including] those who are important and those who are not important. And no one will mourn for them, or [even] bury [their corpses]. No one will cut himself or shave his head [to show that he is very sad].
isu a matayto dagiti nangato ken nababa iti daytoy a daga. Saandanto a maitabon wenno awanto ti agladingit gapu kadakuada. Awanto ti mangsugat iti bagbagida wenno mangkuskos kadagiti uloda gapu kadakuada.
7 No one will bring food to comfort those who are mourning, not even if it is their father or their mother [who has died]. No one will give them a cup [of wine] to cheer them up.
Masapul nga awan ti mangibingay iti aniaman a makan kadagiti agladladingit tapno maliwliwada gapu kadagiti natay ken masapul nga awan ti mangted iti ama wenno iti inana iti kopa a makaliwliwa tapno maliwliwada.
8 And do not go into the houses where people are feasting. Do not eat or drink anything with them.
Masapul a saanka a mapan iti balay a pagrambakan a makitugaw kadakuada tapno mangan ken uminom.'
9 [I want you to do this] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say: ‘While you are still alive and seeing it happen, I will cause there to be no more singing and laughing in this land. There will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides.’
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Kitaenyo, iti imatangyo, kadagiti al-aldawyo ken iti daytoy a lugar, umadanin ti panangpasardengko iti ariwawa gapu iti panagragragsak ken panagrambak, iti timek dagiti nobio ken nobia.
10 When you tell these things to the people, they will ask, ‘Why has Yahweh declared that these terrible things will happen to us? What have we done [for which we deserve to be punished like this]? What sin have we committed against Yahweh our God?’
Ket mapasamakto nga ipakaammomto amin dagitoy a sasao kadagitoy a tattao, ket ibagadanto kenka, 'Apay nga inkeddeng ni Yahweh amin daytoy a nakaro a didigra maibusor kadakami? Ania ti nakaro a kinadakes ken nakabasolanmi kenni Yahweh a Diostayo?
11 Then this is what you must tell them [that I am replying to them]: ‘It is because your ancestors turned away from me, Yahweh. They worshiped other gods and served them. They abandoned me and did not obey my commands.
Ibagam ngarud kadakuada, 'Gapu ta tinallikudandak dagiti kapuonanyo-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-ken dagiti didiosen ti sinurotda ket nagdaydayaw ken nagrukbabda kadagitoy. Tinallikudandak ken saanda a tinungpal ti lintegko.
12 But you [who are living now] have done more wicked things than your ancestors did! Each of you stubbornly does the evil things that he desires and refuses to pay attention to what I say.
Ngem dakayo a mismo ket nakarkaro pay a kinadangkes ti inaramidyo ngem kadagiti kapuonanyo, ta kitaenyo, tunggal tao ket agbibiag babaen iti kinasukir ti nadangkes a pusona; awan a pulos ti uray maysa a dumdumngeg kaniak.
13 So, I will throw you out of this land, and I will send you to a land that you and your ancestors have never known about. There you will worship other gods day and night. And I will not act mercifully toward you.’
Isu a manipud iti daytoy a daga, ipankayonto iti daga a saanyo pay a napanan a kasla ibellengkayo sadiay, uray dakayo ken dagiti kapuonanyo, ket agdaydayawkayonto sadiay kadagiti didiosen, iti aldaw ken rabii, ta saankayonto a kaasian.'
14 But there will be a time when people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, ‘[I will do this], [just as surely] as Yahweh lives—the one who brought the Israeli people here from Egypt.’
Isu a kitaenyo! Umadanin dagiti al-aldaw-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-inton saanen a maibaga nga, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon a nangiruar kadagiti tattao ti Israel manipud iti daga ti Egipto.'
15 Instead, they will say ‘[I will do this, just as surely] as Yahweh lives—the one who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the lands to the north and from all the other lands to which he had (exiled us/forced us to go).’ [They will be able to say that] because [some day] I will bring your descendants back to this land that I gave to your ancestors.
Ta iti nagan ko, Siak a ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a nangummong kadagiti tattao ti Israel manipud iti daga ti amianan ken manipud kadagiti daga a nangiwarasanna kadakuada, isublikto ida iti daga nga intedko kadagiti kapuonanda.
16 But now I am summoning [your enemies who will seize the people of Judah like] [MET] fishermen [catch fish]. I am summoning those who will search for them on every mountain and hill, and in every cave, [like] [MET] hunters [search for animals to kill].
Kitaenyo, mangibaonakto iti adu a mangngalap-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-tapno kalapenda dagiti tattao. Kalpasan daytoy, mangayabakto iti adu a mangnganop tapno anopenda ida kadagiti amin a kabanbantayan ken katurturodan, ken kadagiti rengngat dagiti dakkel a bato.
17 I am watching them carefully. I see every sin [that they commit]. They will not [be able to] hide from me [MTY].
Ta sikikita dagiti matak kadagiti amin nga ar-aramidenda; saanda a mailemmeng dagitoy iti imatangko. Saan a mailemmeng ti nagkuranganda iti imatangko.
18 Because of all the wicked things that they have done [DOU], I will punish them twice as much [as I would punish other people. I will do that] because they have caused my land to become unacceptable to me because of their [worshiping] lifeless statues of detestable gods, and [also because they] have done many other evil things throughout my land.”
Supapakak nga umuna iti mamindua a daras ti nagkurangan ken basolda gapu iti panangtulawda iti dagak gapu kadagiti makarimon nga imahen dagiti didiosenda ken iti panangpunnoda iti impatawidko babaen kadagiti makarimon a didiosen.
19 [Then I prayed, saying], “Yahweh, you are the one who strengthens me and protects me [MET]; you are the one to whom I go when I have [troubles]. [Some day people from] nations all over the world will come to you and say, ‘Our ancestors left/gave us only something that was false; [they worshiped idols] that are completely worthless [DOU].
O Yahweh, sika ti sarikedkedko ken pagkamangak, natalged a lugar a pagsammakedak iti aldaw ti panagrigatko. Umayto kenka dagiti nasion manipud kadagiti pungto iti daga ket ibagada, “Awan duadua a tinawid dagiti kapuonantayo ti kinaulbod. Ubbawda; awan iti magungona kadakuada.
20 No one can [RHQ] make their own gods; the gods that they make are [only idols]; they are not real gods.’”
Iyaramidan kadi dagiti tattao dagiti bagbagida kadagiti dios? Ngem saanda met a pudno a dios.
21 [Then Yahweh said], “Now I will show my power to [the people of Judah]; I will show them that I am truly very powerful [DOU]. Then, finally, they will know that I, Yahweh, [am the true God].”
Isu a makitayonto! Ipakaammokto kadakuada iti daytoy a tiempo, ipakaammokto kadakuada ti ima ken pannakabalinko, tapno maammoandanto a Yahweh ti naganko.
