< Jeremias 22 >

1 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Sumalogka iti balay ti ari iti Juda ket iwaragawagmo daytoy a sao sadiay.
Thus said the Lord, Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word;
2 Kunaem, 'Ari ti Juda, sika a nakatugaw iti trono ni David, dumngegka iti sao ni Yahweh. Ket dakayo nga ad-adipenna, ken dakayo a tattaona a sumsumrek kadagitoy a ruangan dumngegkayo.
And thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
3 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Agaramidkayo iti maiparbeng ken kinalinteg, ket siasinoman a natakawan - ispalenyo isuna manipud iti ima ti manangidadanes. Saanyo a pagaramidan iti dakes ti siasinoman a ganggannaet iti dagayo, wenno siasinoman nga ulila, wenno balo. Saankayo nga agaramid iti kinaranggas wenno mangpasayasay iti dara ti awan basolna iti daytoy a lugar.
Thus hath said the Lord, Execute ye justice and righteousness, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor; and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow shall ye not oppress, and do them no violence, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
4 Ta no pudno nga aramidenyo dagitoy a banbanag, dagiti ar-ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David ket sumrekto kadagiti ruangan daytoy a balay a nakasakay iti karuwahe ken kadagiti kabalio. Isuna, dagiti adipenna, ken dagiti tattaona!
For if ye indeed will do this thing, then shall enter in through the gates of this house kings sitting after David upon his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5 Ngem no saankayo a dumngeg kadagitoy a sasao a naggapu kaniak nga inwaragawagko - daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh - madadaelto ngarud daytoy a palasio.
But if ye will not hear these words, then do I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a ruin.
6 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipanggep iti palasio ti ari iti Juda, “Maiyarigka kaniak iti Galaad, wenno iti tuktok ti Lebanon. Nupay kasta, pagbalinenkanto a let-ang, kadagiti siudad nga awan iti agnanaed.
For thus hath said the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah, A Gil'ad [though] thou art unto me, a summit of the Lebanon: yet I will surely change thee into a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 Ta nangdutokak kadagiti umay mangdadael kenka! Pukawento dagiti lallaki a nagtagiigam dagiti kasasayaatan a sedrom ket bay-andanto dagitoy a matumba iti apuy.
And I will make ready against thee destroyers, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 Ket adu a nasion ti lumabasto iti daytoy a siudad. Kunaento ti tunggal tao iti kaabayna, “Apay nga inaramid ni Yahweh ti kastoy iti daytoy a naindaklan a siudad?”
And [when] many nations [then] pass by this city, they will say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done the like unto this great city?
9 Ket sumungbatto ti met ti maysa, “Gapu ta tinallikudanda ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosda ket nagrukbabda kadagiti dadduma a dios ken nagdaydayawda kadakuada.”
Then shall they say, Because they had forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and bowed down unto other gods, and served them.
10 Saanyo a sangitan ti natay. Saanyo a dung-awan isuna. Ngem rumbeng a sangitanyo ti siasinoman a maipanaw a kas balud, ta saanton nga agsubli ket saannanton a makita pay ti daga a nakaiyanakanna.'
Weep not for the dead, and do not bemoan him: weep sorely for him that goeth away; for he shall never return any more, and see the land of his birth.
11 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Jehoahaz a lalaki a putot ni Josias nga ari iti Juda, a nagserbi a kas ari a simmukat kenni ni Josias nga amana, 'Pimmanawen iti daytoy a disso ket saanen nga agsubli pay.
For thus hath said the Lord respecting Shallum the son of Josiah the king of Judah, who reigneth in the place of Josiah his father, who is gone forth out of this place, He shall never return thither any more;
12 Matayto isuna iti daydiay a lugar a nangipananda kenkuana a kas balud ket saannanton a pulos a makita pay daytoy a daga.'
But in the place whither they have led him into exile, there shall he die; but this land shall he not see any more.
13 Asi pay ti siasinoman a mangipatakder iti balayna iti kinakillo ken kadagti akinngato a siledna iti saan a maiparbeng nga aramid; kenkuana a nagtrabahoan dagiti dadduma, ngem saanna ida a tangdanan.
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that maketh his neighbor work without wages, and giveth him not the reward for his labor;
14 Asi pay ti siaqsinoman nga agkuna, 'Mangipatakderak iti nangato a balay a maipaay kaniak ken nalawa nga akinngato a silsiled, ken mangaramid pay kadagiti nalawa a tawtawa a maipaay kenkuana, ken mabobedaan iti sedro ken pintaanna amin iti nalabaga.'
That saith, I will build me a roomy house, and ample chambers, and cutteth himself out windows, and ceileth it with cedar, and painteth it with colors.
15 Daytoy kadi iti mamagbalin kenka a nasayaat nga ari, ta kayatmo ti maaddaan iti sedro a pagnaedan? Saan kadi a nangan ken imminum met ti amam, nupay kasta, inaramidna ti maiparbeng ken kinalinteg? Ket nasayaat dagiti banbanag a napasamak kenkuana.
Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel with cedar buildings? behold, thy father ate and drank, but he executed justice and righteousness: then was it well with him!
16 Insakitna dagiti napanglaw ken dagiti agkasapulan. Nasayaat ti pasamak idi. Saan kadi a kastoy ti kayatna a sawen iti pannakaam-ammo kaniak? — daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then was it well: is not this the proper knowledge of me? saith the Lord.
17 Ngem awanen sabali pay nga adda kadagita matam ken pusom no di laeng ti panagagummo ken ti panangpasayasaymo iti dara dagiti awan basolna, iti panangirurumen ken panangranggas iti dadduma a tattao.
But thy eyes and thy heart are directed on nothing but upon thy own gain, and upon innocent blood to shed it, and upon oppression, and upon extortion, to practise them.
18 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Jehoiakim a putot a lalaki ni Josias nga ari iti Juda: Saandanto nga agdung-aw gapu kenkuana a kunada 'Asika pay, kabsatko a lalaki!” wenno “Asika pay, kabsatko a babai!” Saandanto a dung-awan isuna iti 'Asika pay, nga apo!' wenno 'Asika pay, a madaydayaw!'
Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, They shall not lament for him, with, “Woe, my brother!” and, “Woe, sister!” they shall not lament for him, with “Woe, lord!” and, “Woe, to his glory!”
19 Maitanemto isuna a kas iti pannakaitanem ti maysa nga asno, maiparangguyod ken maiwalang iti ruar dagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem.
With the burial of an ass shall he be buried, dragged about and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Sumang-atka kadagiti banbantay iti Lebanon ket agpukkawka. Iriawmo ti timekmo idiay Basan. Agpukkawka manipud kadagiti banbantay ti Abarim, ta madadaelto dagiti amin a gagayyemmo.
Ascend the Lebanon, and cry aloud; and let thy voice resound in Bashan; and cry aloud from 'Aharim; for crushed are all thy lovers.
21 Nakisaoak kenka idi natalgedka, ngem kinunam, 'Saanakto a dumngeg.' Ta daytoy ti kababalinmo manipud kinaubingmo, ta saanka a dimngeg iti timekko.
I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy very youth, that thou didst not hearken to my voice.
22 Itayabto ti angin dagiti amin a mangipaspastormo, ken maipanawto a kas balud dagiti gagayyemmmo. Ket pudno unay a mabainankanto ken maibabakanto gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inar-aramidmo.
The wind shall scatter abroad all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded because of all thy wickedness.
23 Sika nga ari, sika nga agnanaed iti Balay iti Kabakiran ti Lebanon, sika nga agum-umok kadagiti sedro, anian a nakakaasikanto inton dumteng kenka ti kasta unay a panagrigat a kas iti ut-ot ti panagpasikal.”
O inhabitress of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how full of grace wilt thou be! when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 “Isapatak— daytoy ket kuna ni Yahweh—uray no sika, Jehoiachin a putot a lalaki ni Jehoiakim, nga ari ti Juda, ti singsing a pangselio nga adda iti makannawan nga imak, lapsutenka iti imak.
As I live, saith the Lord, though Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah were a signet upon my right hand, yet for a surety would I thence pluck thee;
25 Ta naiyawatka iti ima dagiti aggangandat iti biagmo ken kadagiti pagbutbutngam, iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari iti Babilonia ken kadagiti Caldeo.
And I will give thee into the hand of those that seek thy life, and into the hand of those of whom thou art afraid, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Ibellengkanto ken ti inam a nangiyanak kenka, iti daga a saanyo a nakaiyanakan. Sadiayto ti pakatayanyo.
And I will hurl thee out, and thy mother that hath born thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27 Ket no maipapan iti daytoy a daga a kayatdanto a pagsublian, saandanton a makasubli ditoy.
But to the land whitherward they direct their soul to return, thither shall they not return.
28 Daytoy kadi ket nauy-uyaw ken naburak a pagkargaan? Daytoy kadi a lalaki a ni Jehoiachin ket maysa a banga nga awan iti maay-ayona? Apay nga imbellengda isuna ken dagiti kaputotanna, ken impurruakda ida iti daga a saanda nga ammo?
Is this man Conyahu a despised broken image? or a vessel without value? wherefore are they hurled out, he and his seed, and are cast forth into a land which they know not?
29 Daga, Daga, Daga! Denggem ti sao ni Yahweh!
O land, land, land! hear the word of the Lord.
30 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Isuratyo ti maipapan iti daytoy a lalaki a ni Jehoiachin: Awanto iti putotna. Saanto a rumang-ay kadagiti al-aldawna, ta awanto ti siasinoman kadagiti kaputotanna ti makagun-od iti panagballigi wenno agtugaw manen iti trono ni David ken agturay iti Juda.'”
Thus hath said the Lord, Write ye down this man as childless, as a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall succeed to sit upon the throne of David, and to rule any more in Judah.
