< Jeremiah 4 >

1 If thou will return, O Israel, says Jehovah, if thou will return to me, and if thou will put away thine abominations out of my sight, then thou shall not be removed.
No agsublikayo, Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— siak ti rumbeng a pagsublianyo. No ikkatenyo dagiti makarimon a banbanagyo iti imatangko, ken saandak manen a tallikudan,
2 And thou shall swear, As Jehovah lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. And the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him they shall glory.
ken no isapatayo, ‘adda kenni Yahweh ti kinapudno, hustisia, ken kinalinteg,' kiddawento dagiti nasion ti bendisionko, ken idayawdakto.
3 For thus says Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh iti tunggal maysa a tattao iti Juda ken Jerusalem. ‘Aradwenyo ti bukodyo a daga, ken saankayo nga agmula kadagiti kasisiitan.
4 Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Makugitkayo koma kenni Yahweh ken ikkatenyo dagiti akin-rabaw a kudil dagiti pusoyo, lallaki ti Juda ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ta no saan, gumil-ayabto a kasla apuy ti rungsotko ken manguram nga awan ti uray siasino a makaiddep iti daytoy. Mapasamakto daytoy gapu iti kinadakes dagiti aramidyo.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land. Cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
Ipakaammoyo idiay Juda ken ipangngegyo iti Jerusalem. Kunaenyo, “Pagunienyo ti tangguyob iti daga.” Iwaragawagyo, “Aguummongkayo.” Mapantayo kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad.”
6 Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety, do not stay. For I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Itag-ayyo ti bandera a pagilasinan ket iturongyo idiay Sion, ken tumaraykayo tapno natalgedkayo! Saankayo nga agtalinaed, ta mangiyegak iti didigra manipud amianan ken dakkel a pannakarebba.
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations. He is on his way, he has gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Rummuarto iti maysa a leon manipud kasamekan, ken agsagsaganan ti maysa a mangdadaelto kadagiti nasion. Pumanaw isuna iti lugar nga ayanna tapno mangiyeg ti nakaal-alinggaget a pasamak iti dagayo, dadaelenna dagiti siudadyo, ket awanto ti agnaed.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.
Gapu iti daytoy, balkotenyo ti bagbagiyo iti nakersang a lupot, agdung-aw ken aganug-ogkayo. Ta saan a timmalikud kadatayo ti rungsot ti pungtot ni Yahweh.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, says Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the rulers, and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw, —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— a matayto ti puso dagiti ari ken dagiti opisialna. Makigtotto dagiti padi, ken mapabutnganto dagiti profeta.
10 Then I said, Ah, lord Jehovah! Surely thou have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace, whereas the sword reaches to the life.
Isu a kinunak, “O! Yahweh nga Apo. Pudno nga inallilawmo a naminpinsan dagitoy a tattao ken ti Jerusalem babaen iti panangibagam, ‘Maaddaankayonto iti kappia.' Idinto a silalayat ti kampilan a maibusor iti biagda.
11 At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse,
Iti dayta a tiempo maibaganto ti kastoy kadagitoy a tattao ken iti Jerusalem “Ti nabara nga angin manipud kadagiti patad ti let-ang ket agturongto kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti tattaok. Saannanto ida a taepan wenno dalusan.
12 a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.
Addanto iti angin a napigpigsa nga adayo ngem iti dayta nga angin nga umay babaen ti bilinko, ket iyulogkon ti panangukomko kadakuada.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots as the whirlwind. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.
Kitaenyo, ruma-ut isuna a kasla ulep, ken kasla bagyo dagiti karwahena. Naparpartak dagiti kabaliona ngem kadagiti agila. Asitayo pay, ta madadaeltayonto!
14 O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou may be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?
O Jerusalem, dalusanyo dagiti pusoyo manipud iti kinadangkes, tapno maisalakankayo. Kaanonto pay ti panagsardengyo iti panangpanpanunotyo no kasano ti agbasol?
15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
Ta addanto timek a mangiyeg iti damag manipud Dan, ken mangngeg ti um-umay a didigra manipud kadagiti kabanbantayan ti Efraim.
16 Make ye mention to the nations. Behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Bay-am a panunoten dagiti nasion ti maipanggep iti daytoy: Denggem, ibagam iti Jerusalem nga um-umayen dagiti manglakub manipud iti adayu a daga a mangipukkaw iti gubat a maibusor kadagiti siudad ti Juda.
17 They are as keepers of a field against her round about, because she has been rebellious against me, says Jehovah.
Maiyarigdanto kadagiti agwanwanawan iti naaradon a talon a nangpalawlaw iti daytoy, agsipud ta nagsukir daytoy kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things to thee. This is thy wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to thy heart.
ken ti kababalin ken ar-aramidmo ti makagapu a mapasamak dagitoy kenka. Kastoyto ti dusam. Anian a nakaam-amakto daytoy! Dangrannanto ti mismo a pusom.
19 My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart. My heart is disquieted in me. I cannot hold my peace, because thou have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
O pusok! O pusok! Agsansanaang daytoy pusok. Mariribukan daytoy pusok. Saanak a makatalna ta mangmangngegko ti uni ti tangguyob, ti pakdaar ti gubat.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
Pannakarebba ken pannakarebba ti maiwarwaragawag, ta kellaat a nadadael ti entero a daga. Naminpinsan a dinadaelda ti tabernakulok ken ti toldak.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Kasano pay ngata kabayag a kitkitaek ti bandera? Mangngegkonto kadi pay ti uni ti tangguyob?
22 For my people are foolish. They do not know me. They are sottish sons, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Ta iti kinamaag dagiti tattaok—saandak nga am-ammo. Nakunengda a tattao ken awan pannakaawatda. Nalaingda no maipapan iti kinadakes, ngem awan ammoda nga agaramid iti kina-imbag.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.
Nakitak ti daga, ket anian! Awan langlangana ken unga-ong daytoy. Ta awan silaw dagiti langit.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.
Kimmitaak kadagiti kabanbantayan. Nakitak nga agkinkintayeg ken aggungungon dagiti turod.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Kimmitaak. Adtoy, awan uray maysa a tao, ken timmayab amin a billit ti langit.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, and before his fierce anger.
Kimmitaak. Nakitak a nagbalin a let-ang ti minuyongan ken narba amin dagiti siudad iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, gapu iti rungsot ti pungtotna.”
27 For thus says Jehovah: The whole land shall be a desolation, yet I will not make a full end.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Madadaelto ti daga, ngem saankonto a dadaelen a naan-anay daytoy.
28 For this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not relented, nor will I turn back from it.
Gapu iti daytoy, agladingitto ti daga, ken agsipngetto ti tangatang. Ta impakaammokon ti panggepko; ipatungpalko; Saanakto nga agsanud a mangipatungpal kadagitoy.
29 Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen. They go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks. Every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
Itarayanto ti tunggal siudad ti arimpadek dagiti kumakabalio ken dagiti pumapana; tumaraydanto kadagiti kabakiran. Kumalay-atto ti tunggal siudad kadagiti kabatbattoan a luglugar. Mabaybay-anto dagiti siudad, ta awanto ti uray maysa nga agtaeng kadagitoy.
30 And thou, when thou are made desolate, what will thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with scarlet, though thou deck thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlarge thine eyes with paint, in vain thou make thyself fair. Thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
Ita ta nadadaelkan, ania ti aramidem? Ta uray agkaweska iti nalabbaga a kawes, arkusam ti bagim iti alahas a balitok, ken padakkelem ti matam babaen iti pinta, saandakan a kayat ita dagiti lallaki a nagderrep kenka. Ngem ketdi, kayatda a pukawen ti biagmo.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.
Isu a mangngegko ti uni ti asug, tuok a kas iti agpasngay iti inauna nga anak, ti timek ti babai nga anak ti Sion. Agang-angsab isuna. Iyukradna dagiti imana, ' Asi-ak pay! Matallimudawak gapu kadagitoy a mammapatay.”'
