< Jeremias 7 >

1 Daytoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh,
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 “Agtakderka iti ruangan ti balay ni Yahweh ket iwaragawagmo daytoy a sao! Kunaem, 'Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo amin iti Juda, dakayo a sumsumrek kadagitoy a ruangan tapno agdayaw kenni Yahweh.
“Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’”
3 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin a Dios ti Israel: Aramidenyo a nasayaat dagiti wagas ken aramidyo, ket ipalubosko nga agtultuloykayo nga agnaed iti daytoy a lugar.
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Saanyo nga italek ti bagiyo kadagiti makaallilaw a sasao a kunayo, “Templo ni Yahweh! Templo ni Yahweh! Templo ni Yahweh!”
Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.’
5 Ta no naan-anay nga aramidenyo a nasayaat dagiti wagas ken aramidyo; no naan-anay nga ipatungpalyo ti hustisia iti nagbaetan ti maysa a tao ken iti kaarrubana—
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
6 no saanyo nga irurumen ti agnanaed iti daga, ti ulila, wenno ti balo, ken saankayo a mangpasayasay iti awan basolna a dara iti daytoy a disso, ken saankayo nga agdayaw kadagiti didiosen a pakaigappuan iti bukodyo a pakadangran—
if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,
7 ipaluboskonto nga agtalinaedkayo iti daytoy a lugar, iti daga nga intedko kadagiti kapuonanyo manipud pay idi un-unana ken iti agnanayon.
then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.
8 Kitaenyo! Agtaltalekkayo kadagiti makaallilaw a sasao a saan a makatulong kadakayo.
Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.
9 Saan kadi nga agtaktakawkayo, mangpapatay ken makikamalala? Ken saan kadi a sapsapataanyo ti inuulbod ken agidatdatonkayo iti insenso kenni Baal ken agdaydayawkayo kadagiti didiosen a saanyo nga am-ammo?
Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
10 Ket umaykayo agtakder iti sangoanak iti daytoy a balay a nakaiwaragawagan ti naganko ket kunayo, “Awan iti pakaan-anoantayo,” iti kasta ket maaramidyo amin dagitoy a makarimon?
then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered,’ that you may do all these abominations?
11 Daytoy kadi a balay a nakanagan iti naganko ket maysa a rukib dagiti agtatakaw kadagiti matayo? Ngem dumngegkayo, nakitak daytoy— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'
Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says Yahweh.
12 Isu a mapankayo iti lugarko nga adda idiay Silo, nga impalubosko a pagtalinaedan iti naganko sipud pay idi un-unana, ket kitaenyo ti inaramidko iti daytoy gapu iti kinadangkes dagiti tattaok nga Israel.
“But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Isu nga ita, gapu ta inar-aramidyo amin dagitoy nga aramid— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— nagsaoak kadakayo iti namin-adu, ngem saankayo a dimngeg. Inawagankayo, ngem saankayo a simmungbat.
Now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahweh, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;
14 Isu a no ania ti inaramidko idiay Silo, aramidekto met iti daytoy a balay a naawagan iti naganko, ti balay a nagtalkanyo, daytoy a disso nga intedko kadakayo ken kadagiti kapuonanyo.
therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 Ta papanawenkayonto iti sangoanak, a kas iti panangpapanawko kadagiti amin a kakabsatyo, a dagiti amin a kaputotan ni Efraim.'
I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole offspring of Ephraim.
16 Ket sika, Jeremias, saanmo nga ikararagan dagitoy a tattao, ken saanka a agdung-aw wenno agkararag para kadakuada, ken saanmo ida nga ibabaet, ta saanakto a dumngeg kenka.
“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
17 Saanmo kadi a makita ti ar-aramidenda kadagiti siudad ti Juda ken kadagiti kalsada iti Jerusalem?
Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Agur-urnong dagiti annak iti kayo ken paspasgedan dagiti amma ti apuy! Agmasmasa dagiti babbai iti arina tapno agaramid iti tinapay para iti reyna dagiti langit ken agibukbukbokda kadagiti daton a mainom para kadagiti didiosen tapno rurodendak.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Pudno kadi a rurrurodendak? — kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— saan kadi a dagiti bagbagida ti rurrurodenda, isu nga isuda metlaeng ti manglaklak-am iti pannakaibabain?
Do they provoke me to anger?” says Yahweh. “Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”
20 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, 'Kitaenyo, pumsuakto ti unget ken pungtotko iti daytoy a lugar, iti tao ken kadagiti ayup, iti kayo kadagiti tay-ak ken ti bunga iti daga. Mapuoranto daytoy ket saanto a pulos a maiddep.'
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man, on animal, on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and will not be quenched.”
21 Kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Inayonyo dagiti datonyo a maipuor amin kadagiti sagutyo ken ti karne manipud kadagitoy.
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.
22 Ta idi inruarko dagiti kapuonanyo manipud iti daga ti Egipto, saanak a nagsapul iti aniaman a banag manipud kadakuada. Awan imbilinko maipanggep iti daton a maipuor amin ken kadagiti sakripisio.
For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;
23 Kastoy laeng ti imbilinko kadakuada, “Dumngegkayo iti timekko ket Siakto iti Diosyo ken dakayonto dagiti tattaok. Isu a magnakayo iti amin a wagas nga ibilbilinko kadakayo, tapno nasayaat ti pagbanaganyo.”
but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’
24 Ngem saanda a dimngeg wenno nangipangag. Nagbiagda a segun kadagiti bukod a panggep dagiti nadangkes a pusoda, isu a nagsanudda, saanda a nagtuloy.
But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Manipud iti aldaw a rimmuar dagiti kapuonanyo iti daga ti Egipto agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw, imbaonko ti tunggal maysa kadagiti adipenko, dagiti profetak, kadakayo. Saanak a nagsardeng a nangiibaon kadakuada.
Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
26 Ngem saanda a dimngeg kaniak. Saanda a nangipangag. Ngem ketdi, pinatangkenda dagiti uloda. Nadangdangkesda ngem dagiti kapuonanda.'
Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
27 Isu nga iwaragawagmo amin dagitoy a sasao kadakuada, ngem saandanto a dumngeg kenka. Iwaragawagmo dagitoy a banbanag kadakuada, ngem saandakanto a sungbatan.
“You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
28 Ibagam kadakuada, 'Daytoy ket maysa a nasion a saan a dumngeg iti timek ni Yahweh a Diosna ken saanna a kayat iti agpaiwanwan. Nadadael ti kinapudno ken naikkat manipud kadagiti ngiwatda.
You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’
29 Pukisam ti buokmo ken kuskusam ti bagim, ket ibellengmo ti buokmo. Agkantaka iti pangdung-aw a kanta kadagiti nawaya a lugar. Ta linaksid ken tinallikudanen ni Yahweh daytoy a henerasion gapu iti pungtotna.
Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 Ta nakaaramid iti dakes dagiti annak ti Juda iti imatangko— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh-nangikabilda kadagiti makarimon a banbanag iti balay a nakaiwaragawagan iti naganko, tapno matulawan daytoy.
“For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,” says Yahweh. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
31 Ket binangonda ti altar ti Tofet nga adda iti tanap ti Ben Hinnom. Inaramidda daytoy a pangpuoranda kadagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai— maysa a banag a saanko nga imbilin. Saanko a pulos a pinanunot daytoy.
They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.
32 Isu a kitaenyo, umadanin dagiti aldaw— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— inton saanen a maawagan daytoy iti Tofet wenno tanap ti Ben Hinnom. Agbalinto daytoy a tanap ti Pannakapapatay; agitabondanto kadagiti bangkay idiay Tofet agingga nga awan iti mabati a pagitabonan.
Therefore behold, the days come”, says Yahweh, “that it will no more be called ‘Topheth’ or ‘The valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’; for they will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
33 Dagiti bangkay dagitoy a tattao ket agbalinto a taraon dagiti billit kadagiti tangatang ken dagiti ayup iti daga ket awanto a pulos iti mangabug kadagitoy.
The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. No one will frighten them away.
34 Pasardengekto kadagiti siudad ti Juda ken kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem, dagiti uni ti panagrag-o ken panagragsak, dagiti uni ti nobio ken ti nobia; agsipud ta agbalinto a langalang ti daga.”
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a waste.”
