< Jeremiah 25 >

1 After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.
Daytoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias maipapan kadagiti amin a tattao iti Juda. Napasamak daytoy iti maikapat a tawen ni Jehoyakim a putot ni Josias, nga ari iti Juda. Dayta ti umuna a tawen ni Nebucadnezar nga ari iti Babilonia.
2 I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
Inwaragawag ni profeta Jeremias kadagiti amin a tattao iti Juda ken kadagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
3 “Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.
Kinunana, “Iti duapulo ket tallo a tawen, manipud iti maikasangapulo ket tallo a tawen ni Josias a putot ni Amon, nga ari ti Juda agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw, um-umayen kaniak dagiti sasao ni Yahweh. Inwarwaragawagkon dagitoy kadakayo. Sigagagarak a nangiwaragawag kadakayo, ngem saankayo a dimngeg.
4 Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.
Imbaon kadakayo ni Yahweh dagiti amin nga adipenna a profeta. Sigagagarda a napan, ngem saankayo a dimngeg wenno nangipangag.
5 Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.
Kinuna dagitoy a profeta, “Pagtallikudan koma ti tunggal tao dagiti nadangkes a wagasna ken ti kinadakes dagiti aramidna ket agsublikayo iti daga nga inted ni Yahweh kadagiti kapuonanyo ken kadakayo idi pay un-unana a tiempo, a kas agnanayon a sagut.
6 Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’
Isu a saanyo a kamaten dagiti didiosen tapno agdayawkayo wenno agruknoykayo kadakuada, ken saanyo a pagpungtoten isuna gapu kadagiti aramid dagiti imayo a pakaigappuanto a dangrannakayo.”
7 And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.
Ngem saankayo a dimngeg kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ngarud pinagpungtotdak gapu iti aramid dagiti imayo tapno dangrankayo.
8 So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,
Isu a, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Gapu ta saankayo a dimngeg kadagiti sasaok,
9 I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.
kitaenyo, dandaniakon mangipatulod iti maysa a bilin tapno maurnong dagiti amin a tattao iti amianan—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— kenni Nebucadnesar nga adipenko, nga ari ti Babilonia, ket iyegko ida a maibusor iti daytoy a daga ken kadagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy, ken maibusor kadagiti amin a nasion iti aglawlawyo. Ta ilasinkonto ida para iti pannakadadael. Pagbalinekkto ida a pakaigappuan iti panagbuteng, maysa a banag a saksakuntipan, ken awan patinggana a langalang.
10 I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].
Dagiti uni iti rag-o ken panagrambak—dagiti timek ti nobyo ken nobya, ti uni dagiti bato a paggilingan ken ti lawag dagiti pagsilawan—pukawekto amin dagitoy a banbanag manipud kadagitoy a nasion.
11 All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.
Ket agbalinto amin dagitoy a daga a langalang ken nakabutbuteng, ket agserbinto dagitoy a nasion iti ari ti Babilonia iti pitopulo a tawen.
12 Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.
Ket mapasamakto inton malpas ti pitopulo a tawen, a dusaekto ti ari ti Babilonia ken dayta a nasion, ti daga dagiti Caldeo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—gapu iti kinadakesda ket pagbalinekto daytoy nga awan patinggana a langalang.
13 I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.
Ket ipatungpalkonto a maibusor iti dayta a daga dagiti amin a sasao nga imbagak, ken amin a banbanag a naisurat iti daytoy a libro nga impadto ni Jeremias a maibusor iti amin a nasion.
14 The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”
Ta adu pay a dadduma a nasion ken nabibileg nga ari ti mangtagabunto kadagitoy a nasion. Supapakakto ida segun kadagiti ar-aramidda ken kadagiti gappuanan dagiti imada.”
15 Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.
Ta kastoy ti kinuna kaniak ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel, “Alaem daytoy a kopa ti arak ti pungtot manipud iti imak ket ipainummo daytoy kadagiti amin a nasion a pangibaonak kenka.
16 When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”
Ta uminundanto ket kalpasanna maitublakda ket umkisda a simamauyong iti sangoanan ti kampilan nga ibabaonko kadakuada,”
17 So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].
Innalak ngarud ti kopa manipud iti ima ni Yahweh, ket pinainumko iti daytoy dagiti amin a nasion a nangibaonan kaniak ni Yahweh—
18 [I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.
Ti Jerusalem, ti siudad ti Juda ken dagiti ari ken opisialna—tapno madadael dagitoy ken agbalin a maysa a banag a nakabutbuteng, ken maysa a banag a saksakuntipan ken maaramat iti panangilunod, a kas iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw.
19 [In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,
Masapul nga inumem met daytoy dagiti dadduma a nasion. Ni Faraon nga ari iti Egipto ken dagiti adipenna, dagiti opisialna ken dagiti amin a tattaona;
20 and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
dagiti amin a ganggannaet a tattao ken amin dagiti -ari iti daga ti Uz, dagiti amin nga ari iti daga ti Filistia—Askelon, Gaza, Ekron, ken dagiti nabatbati pay a tattao iti Asdod;
21 [Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
Edom ken Moab ken dagiti tattao ti Ammon;
22 and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
dagiti ar-ari ti Tyre ken Sidon; dagiti ari kadagiti dagdaga iti ballasiw ti baybay;
23 [In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].
Iti Dedan, Tema, ken Buz ken dagiti amin a nangpukis iti buokda kadagiti sikigan ti uloda.
24 [In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
Masapul nga uminom met iti daytoy dagitoy a tattao; dagiti amin nga ar-ari ti Arabia ken dagiti amin nga ar-ari dagiti ganggannaet a tattao nga agnanaed idiay let-ang;
25 and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
dagiti amin nga ari ti Zimri, dagiti amin nga ari ti Elam, ken dagiti amin nga ari dagiti Medes;
26 and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].
dagiti amin nga ari iti amianan, dagiti adayo ken dagiti asideg, tunggal maysa a kadduana ti kabsatna ken dagiti amin a pagarian iti lubong nga adda iti rabaw ti daga. Kamaudiananna, uminomto ti ari ti Babilonia kalpasan nga uminom amin dagitoy.
27 Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Ita masapul nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, kastoy ti kunana: Uminomkayo ket agbartekkayo, ket agsarwakayo, matumbakayo, ket saankayo a bumangon iti sangoanan ti kampilan nga imbaonko kadakayo.'
28 If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.
Ket mapasamakto a no agkedkedda a mangala iti kopa manipud iti imam tapno uminomda, ibagamto kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin; masapul nga uminomkayo iti daytoy.
29 I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’
Ta kitaenyo, dandaniakon mangiyeg iti didigra iti siudad a naawagan babaen iti naganko, ken rumbeng kadi a dakayo a mismo ket saan a madusa? Saankayonto a nawaya, ta mangay-ayabak iti kampilan a maibusor iti amin nga agnanaed iti daga! —kastoy iti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin”
30 Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.
Isu a sika a mismo, Jeremias, masapul nga ipadtom kadakuada amin dagitoy a sasao. Masapul a kunaem kadakuada, 'Agngerngernger ni Yahweh manipud iti nangato ken ipigpigsana ti timekna manipud iti lugar a nailasin a pagnanaedanna. Agungor isuna a maibusor iti lugarna a pagtaenganna; agpukpukkaw isuna a maibusor kadagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga, kas iti panagkanta dagiti tattao no agpespesda kadagiti ubas.
31 Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’
Adda ariwawa a dumteng kadagiti pungto ti daga, ta ti maysa a susik manipud kenni Yahweh ket mangiyeg iti maysa a darum a maibusor kadagiti nasion. Ipatungpalnanto ti hustisia kadagiti amin a lasag. Iyawatnanto ti nadangkes iti kampilan—kastoy ti pakaammmo ni Yahweh.'
32 Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Kitaenyo, sumangbayto ti didigra kadagiti nasion, ket mangrugi ti napigsa a bagio manipud iti adayu a paset ti daga.
33 When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.
Ket dagiti pinapatay ni Yahweh iti dayta nga aldaw ket mangrugi iti pungto ti daga agingga iti sabali a pungto ti daga, saandanto a madung-awan, maurnong, wenno maipunpon. Kasladanto takki ti ayup iti daga.
34 You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].
Agdung-awkayo, dakayo nga agpaspastor, ken agpukkawkayo a dumawat iti tulong! Agtulidkayo iti daga, dakayo a natan-ok a tattao iti arban. Ta dimtengen ti aldaw a pannakapapatay ken pannakaiwarawarayo. Matnagkayonto a kas iti napili a kalakian a karnero.
35 You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
Awanen dagiti pagkamangan dagiti agpaspastor. Saan a makalisi dagiti natan-ok a tattao iti arban.
36 [People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
Adda dagiti nasaem a panagsangit dagiti agpaspastor ken panagdung-aw dagiti natan-ok a tattao iti arban, ta daddadaelen ni Yahweh daggiti pagpaarabanda.
37 Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
Isu a madadaelto dagiti natalna a pagpaaraban gapu iti nakaru a pungtot ni Yahweh.
38 I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
Kasla iti maysa nga urbon a leon, a panawanna ti rukibna, ta agbalinto a nakabutbuteng ti dagada gapu iti naulpit nga ungetna, gapu iti nakaru a pungtotna.”
