< Jeremias 21 >

1 Kastoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh idi imbaon ni ari Zedekias da Pasur a putot ni Malakias ken Sofonias a putot ni Maasias a padi. Kinunada kenkuana,
The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yhwh, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 “Agpabalakadka kenni Yahweh para kadakami, gapu ta gubatennatayo ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia. Nalabit a mangaramid ni Yahweh iti milagro para kadakami, kas iti naglabas a tiempo, ket pagsanudenna ni Nebucadnezar kadakami.”
Enquire, I pray thee, of Yhwh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that Yhwh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 Isu a kinuna ni Jeremias kadakuada, “Kastoy ti masapul nga ibagayo kenni Sedekias,
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
4 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangisublik kadagiti armas nga adda kadagiti imayo a panggubgubatyo iti ari ti Babilonia ken kadagiti Caldeo a manglaklakub kadakayo iti ruar dagiti pader! Ta ummongekto ida iti tengnga daytoy a siudad.
Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
5 Ket siak a mismo ti makiranget kadakayo babaen iti pannakabalin ken kinapigsak ken babaen iti nakaro unay a pungtotko.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
6 Ta rautekto dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a siudad, tao man wenno ayup. Mataydanto babaen iti nakaru a pannakadidigra.
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 Kalpasan daytoy-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- ni Sedekias nga ari ti Juda, dagiti adipenna, dagiti tattao, ken siasinoman a nabati iti daytoy a siudad kalpasan ti didigra babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin-Iyawatkonto amin dagitoy iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia, kadagiti kabusorda, ken kadagiti mangpapatay kadakuada. Ket papatayennanto ida babaen iti kampilan. Saannanto ida a kaasian wenno kailalaan.
And afterward, saith Yhwh, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 Ket kastoy ti masapul nga ibagam kadagitoy a tattao, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adtoy, umadanin nga ikabilko iti sangoananyo ti dalan ti biag ken ti dalan ti patay.
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 Siasinoman nga agtaltalinaed iti daytoy a siudad ket matayto babaen iti kampilan, bisin ken didigra; ngem siasinoman a rumuar ken agparintumeng iti sangoanan dagiti Caldeo a nanglakub kadakayo ket agbiag. Maisalbarnanto ti biagna.
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
10 Ta inkeddengkon ti mangiyeg iti didigra iti daytoy a siudad, a saan ket a mangiyeg iti pagsayaatan-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Naiyawaten daytoy iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia, ket puorannanto daytoy.'
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith Yhwh: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 No maipapan iti balay ti ari ti Juda, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh.
And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of Yhwh;
12 O balay ni David, kuna ni Yahweh, 'Ipatungpalyo ti hustisia iti agsapa. Ispalenyo ti tao a natakawan babaen iti ima ti manangidadanes, ta no saan gumil-ayabto a kasla apuy ti pungtotko ket pumuor. Ta awan ti makaiddep iti daytoy gapu iti kinadakes dagiti ar-aramidenyo.
O house of David, thus saith Yhwh; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Kitaenyo, dakayo nga agnanaed iti tanap! Kabusorkayo, dakkel a bato iti patad-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-Kabusorko ti siasinoman a mangibagbaga, “Siasino ngay koma ti sumalog a mangraut kadatayo?” wenno “Siasino ngay koma ti sumrek kadagiti babbalaytayo?”
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith Yhwh; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 Naikeddengkon a sagrapenyo ti bunga dagiti ar-aramidyo- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-mangpasgedakto kadagiti kasamekan, ket puorannanto ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawna.
But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith Yhwh: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
