Jeremias 9
1 No makapaadda laeng koma ti ulok iti danum, ken agbalin dagiti matak a burayok dagiti lulua! Ta kayatko koma nga agsangit iti aldaw ken rabii gapu kadagiti adda iti anak a babai dagiti tattaok, a napapatay.
If only my head could produce water, and my eyes be a fountain of tears! For I wish to weep day and night for those among the daughter of my people who have been killed.
2 No adda laeng koma iti mangted kaniak iti lugar a pagianan dagiti agdaldaliasat idiay let-ang, a mabalinko a papanan tapno panawak dagiti tattaok. No mabalinko laeng koma ida a panawan, agsipud ta mannakikamalalada amin, bunggoy dagiti mangliliput!
If only someone would give me a place for travelers in the wilderness to stay, where I could go to abandon my people. If only I could leave them, since all of them are adulterers, a band of traitors!
3 Imbaga ni Yahweh, “Agibagbagada kadagiti palso a banbanag babaen kadagiti dilada, nga isu dagiti manangallilaw a baida, ngem saanda a nabileg iti kinapudno iti rabaw ti daga. Agtultuloy ti panagtignayda iti dinadangkes. Saandak nga am-ammo.”
Yahweh declares, “They tread on their bows of lies with their tongues, but it is not because of any faithfulness of theirs that they grow strong on the earth. They go from one wicked act to another. They do not know me.”
4 Tunggal maysa kadakayo, agannadkayo iti kaarrubayo ken saankayo nga agtalek iti siasinoman a kabsat. Ta tunggal kabsat ket maysa a manangallilaw ken tunggal kaarruba ket mamarpardaya.
Each of you, be on guard against your neighbor and do not trust in any brother. For every brother is certainly a deceiver, and every neighbor walks in slander.
5 Laisen ti tunggal lalaki ti kaarrubana ken saan nga agsao iti pudno. Mangisuro dagiti dilada kadagiti makaallilaw a banbanag. Nabannogda manipud iti panagaramid iti nakaro a basol.
Each man mocks his neighbor and does not speak the truth. Their tongues teach deceitful things. They are exhausted from committing iniquity.
6 Agbibiagka iti tengnga ti panangallilaw; iti panangallilawda ket agkedkedda a mangbigbig kaniak— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Your dwelling is in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
7 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Kitaem, dandanikon ida a suboken. Sukimatek ida. Kasano pay ti rumbeng a panagtignayko para kadagiti annak a babai dagiti tattaok?
Yahweh of hosts says this, “See, I am about to refine them and test them, for what else can I do, because of what my people have done?
8 Dagiti dilada ket kasla natiradan a pana; saan a pudno dagiti ibagbagada. Kadagiti ngiwatda ket iwaragawagda ti kappia kadagiti kaarrubada, ngem kadagiti pusoda ket padpadaananda ida.
Their tongues are sharpened arrows; they speak unfaithful things. With their mouths they proclaim peace with their neighbors, but with their hearts they lie in wait for them.
9 Saan kadi a rumbeng a dusaek ida gapu kadagitoy a banbanag— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— ken saan kadi a rumbeng a balsek ti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
Should I not punish them because of these things—this is Yahweh's declaration— and should I not avenge myself on a nation that is like this?
10 Agkantaak iti kanta a panagladingit ken panagdung-aw para kadagiti banbantay, ken maikantanto ti kanta a pangdung-aw para kadagiti pagaraban. Ta napuoran dagitoy isu nga awan iti mabalin a lumasat kadagitoy. Saandanto a mangngeg ti emmak ti aniaman a baka. Pimmanaw amin dagiti billit iti tangatang ken dagiti ayup.
I will sing a song of mourning and wailing for the mountains, and a funeral song will be sung for the meadows. For they are burned so no one can pass through them. They will not hear the sound of any cattle. The birds of the skies and the animals have all fled away.
11 Isu a pagbalinekto ti Jerusalem a gabsuon iti pannakadadael, a pagnaedan dagiti atap nga aso. Pagbalinek dagiti siudad ti Juda a nadadael a lugar nga awan iti agnanaed.
So I will turn Jerusalem into piles of ruins, a hideout for jackals. I will make Judah's cities ruined places without inhabitants.”
12 Siasino ti masirib a tao a makaawat iti daytoy? Ania ti iwaragawag kenkuana ti ngiwat ni Yahweh tapno mabalinna nga ipadamag daytoy? Apay a nadadael ti daga? Nadadael daytoy a kas iti let-ang, nga awan iti siasinoman a mabalin a lumasat iti daytoy.
What man is wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of Yahweh spoken, and he will declare it? Why has the land perished and been destroyed like the wilderness that no one can pass through?
13 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Daytoy ket gapu ta tinallikudanda dagiti lintegko nga intedko a tungpalenda, gapu ta saanda a dumngeg iti timekko wenno agbiag babaen iti daytoy.
Yahweh says, “It is because they have abandoned my law that I set before them, because they do not listen to my voice or walk by it.
14 Daytoy ket gapu ta nagbiagda a sinurotda dagiti nasukir a pusoda ken nagdayawda kadagiti Baal a kas insuro kadakuada dagiti ammada nga aramidenda.
It is because they have walked by their stubborn hearts and have followed the Baals as their fathers taught them to do.
15 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Kitaem, dandanikon pakanen dagitoy a tattao iti ajenjo ken painumen iti nasabidongan a danum.
Therefore Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to make this people eat wormwood and drink poisonous water.
16 Kalpasanna, iwaraskonto ida kadagiti nasion a saanda nga ammo, saanda nga ammo ken saan met nga ammo dagiti kapuonanda. Mangibaonakto iti kampilan a mangkamat kadakuada agingga a madadaelko ida a naan-anay.”
Then I will scatter them among the nations that they have not known, neither they nor their ancestors. I will send out a sword after them until I have completely destroyed them.'”
17 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Panunotenyo ti maipapan iti daytoy: Mangayabkayo kadagiti kumakanta iti pangdung-aw; paumayenyo ida. Mangibaonkayo iti mapan mangayab kadagiti babbai a nalaing nga agdung-aw; paumayenyo ida.
Yahweh of hosts says this, “Think about this: Summon funeral singers; let them come. Send out for women skilled at lamenting; let them come.
18 Apuraenyo ida ket agkantada iti naladingit a kanta kadatayo, tapno agtedted dagiti lua kadagiti matatayo ken agayus ti danum kadagiti kalub iti matatayo.
Let them hurry and sing a mournful song over us, so our eyes may run with tears and our eyelids flow with water.
19 Ta ti ikkis ti panagdung-aw ket mangngeg idiay Zion, 'No kasano a nadadaeltayo. Naibabaintayo iti napalalo, ta pinanawantayo ti daga agsipud ta rinebbada dagiti babbalaytayo.'
For the sound of wailing is heard in Zion, 'How we are devastated. We are greatly ashamed, for we have abandoned the land since they tore down our houses.'
20 Isu a dakayo a babbai, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh; ipangagyo dagiti mensahe nga aggapu iti ngiwatna. Kalpasanna, suroanyo dagiti annakyo a babbai iti naladingit a kanta, ken pangdung-aw a kanta iti tunggal kaarruba a babai.
So you women, hear Yahweh's word; pay attention to the messages that come from his mouth. Then teach your daughters a mourning song, and each neighbor woman a funeral song.
21 Ta simrek ti patay kadagiti tawatayo; umuneg daytoy kadagiti palasiotayo. Dadaelenna daytoy dagiti ubbing iti ruar, ken dagiti agtutubo kadagiti kalkalsada ti siudad.
For death has come through our windows; it goes into our palaces. It destroys children from outside, and young men in the city squares.
22 Ipakaammom daytoy, 'Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— dagiti bangkay dagiti lallaki ket maiwara a kasla rugit kadagiti tay-ak, ken kasla garami a nabati kalpasan dagiti agan-ani, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangurnong kadakuada.'”
Declare this, 'This is Yahweh's declaration—the corpses of men will fall like dung in the fields, and like grain stalks after the reapers, and there will be no one to gather them.'”
23 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Saan koma ipannakkel ti nasirib a tao ti kinasiribna, wenno ti mannakigubat ti bilegna. Saan koma ipannakkel ti nabaknang a tao iti kinabaknangna.
Yahweh says this, “Do not let the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the warrior in his might. Do not let the wealthy man take pride in his riches.
24 Ta no ipannakkel ti maysa a tao iti aniaman a banag, daytoy koma ti ipannakkelna, ti pannakaaddana iti kinasaririt ken pannakaammo kaniak. Ta siak ni Yahweh, nga agtigtignay nga addaan iti kinapudno iti tulag, hustisia ken kinalinteg iti daga. Ta daytoy dagiti pakaragsakak— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
For if a man takes pride in anything, let it be in this, that he has insight and knows me. For I am Yahweh, who acts with covenant loyalty, justice and righteousness on earth. For it is in these that I take pleasure —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
25 “Kitaem, umadanin dagiti aldaw— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— inton dusaek amin dagiti nakugit nga iti laeng bagida.
“See, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish all the circumcised who are such only in their body.
26 Dusaekto ti Egipto ken ti Juda, ti Edom, dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ti Moab, ken dagiti amin a tattao a mangpukpukis kadagiti buokda, nga agnanaed idiay disierto. Ta amin dagitoy a nasion ket saan a nakugit, ken amin dagiti balay ti Israel ket addaan iti saan a nakugit a puso.”
I will punish Egypt and Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all the people who cut the hair on their heads very short. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel has an uncircumcised heart.”
