< Jeremiah 13 >

1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.”
Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka gumatang iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a lino ket ibidangmo daytoy, ngem saanmo pay laeng a basaen daytoy.”
2 So I bought a loincloth as the LORD had instructed me, and I put it around my waist.
Isu a gimmatangak iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a kas imbilin ni Yahweh, ket imbidangko daytoy.
3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:
Kalpasanna, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak iti maikadua a daras a kinunana,
4 “Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks.”
“Alaem ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a ginatangmo a nakabarikes iti siketmo, tumakderka ket mapanka idiay Eufrates. Ilemmengmo daytoy sadiay iti maysa a rengngat iti bato.”
5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.
Isu a napanak ket inlemmengko daytoy idiay Eufrates a kas imbilin ni Yahweh kaniak.
6 Many days later the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
Kalpasan iti adu nga aldaw, kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Tumakderka ket agsublika idiay Eufrates. Alaem manipud sadiay ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga imbagak kenka nga ilemmengmo.”
7 So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined—of no use at all.
Isu a nagsubliak idiay Eufrates ket kinalik ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti nangilemmengak iti daytoy. Ngem idi kinitak, nadadael ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay; awanen iti serserbi daytoy.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
Kalpasanna, immay manen ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
9 “This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Iti kasta met laeng a wagas, dadaelekto ti napalalo a kinatangsit ti Juda ken ti Jerusalem.
10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.
Dagitoy a nadangkes a tattao a nagkedked a dumngeg iti saok, nga agbibiag iti kinatangken ti pusoda, a simmurot kadagiti didiosen tapno agdayaw ken agrukbabda kadagitoy- kasladanto iti daytoy nga akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga awan serserbina.
11 For just as a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I have made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to Me, declares the LORD, so that they might be My people for My renown and praise and glory. But they did not listen.
Ta kas iti irut ti pannakaisuot ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti siket ti maysa a tao, kasta ti panangpakapetko kaniak kadagiti amin a balay ti Israel ken kadagiti amin a balay ti Juda- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- nga agbalin a tattaok, a mangiyeg kaniak iti panangbigbig, panangdayaw ken panagraem. Ngem saanda a dumngeg kaniak.
12 Therefore you are to tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Every wineskin shall be filled with wine.’ And when they reply, ‘Don’t we surely know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’
Isu a masapul nga ibagam daytoy a sao kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Tunggal karamba ket mapunnonto iti arak.' Kunaendanto kenka, “Saanmi aya nga ammo a pudno a mapunnonto iti arak ti tunggal karamba?'
13 then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land—the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
Isu nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, ngannganikon barteken ti tunggal agnanaed iti daytoy a daga, dagiti ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David, dagiti padi, dagiti profeta ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
14 I will smash them against one another, fathers and sons alike, declares the LORD. I will allow no mercy or pity or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”
Ket pagbibinnusurekto dagiti tattao, dagiti amma ken dagiti annak- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saankonto ida a kaasian wenno makarikna iti panangisakit, ken saankonto ida nga ispalen iti pannakadadael.'”
15 Listen and give heed. Do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.
Dumngegkayo ken ipangagyo. Saankayo nga agtangtangsit, ta ni Yahweh ti nagsao.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God before He brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness.
Dayawenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo sakbay nga iyegna ti kinasipnget, ken sakbay a pagtibkulennakayo kadagiti bantay iti sumipnget. Ta mangnamnamakayo iti lawag, ngem pagsipngetennanto iti kasta unay ti lugar, pagbalinenna a nasipnget nga ulep.
17 But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
Isu a no saankayo a dumngeg, agsangitak nga agmaymaysa gapu iti kinatangsityo. Siguradonto nga agsangitak ken agayus dagiti luak, ta naipanaw a kas balud ti arban ni Yahweh.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”
Ibagam iti ari ken iti ina a reyna, ''Agpakumbabakayo ket agtugawkayo, ta naikkaten dagiti korona iti uloyo, ti kinatan-okyo ken ti dayagyo.'
19 The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken captive.
Mairekepto dagiti siudad idiay Negeb, ket awan ti manglukat kadagitoy. Ti Juda ket maipanawto a kas balud, maipanawto a kas balud dagiti amin nga adda iti daytoy.
20 Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?
Tumangadka ket kitaem dagiti um-umay manipud iti amianan. Ayan ti arban nga intedna kenka, ti arban a napintas unay kenka?
21 What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
Anianto ngata ti ibagam inton ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngatoem dagiti sinuroam tapno agbalin a gagayyemmo? Saan aya a dagitoy ti pangrugian dagiti ut-ot a mangparigatto kenka a kas iti maysa a babai nga agpaspasikal?
22 And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.
Ket mabalin a kunaem iti pusom, 'Apay a mapaspasamak kaniak dagitoy a banbanag?' Dagiti nakaad-adu unay a basolmo it makagapu a nailukais dagiti paldam ken nagundawayanka.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither are you able to do good— you who are accustomed to doing evil.
Kabaelan aya a sukatan dagiti tattao ti Kuz dagiti maris ti kudilda, wenno kabaelan aya a sukatan ti maysa a leopardo ti labang daytoy? No kabaelanda, sika a mismo, uray naruamka iti kinadangkes, mabaelam koma met ngarud ti agaramid iti nasayaat.
24 “I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.
Isu nga iwarawarakto ida a kas iti taep nga agpukaw iti angin ti let-ang.
25 This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you,” declares the LORD, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.
Daytoy ti intedko kenka, ti bingay nga intudingko para kenka- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- gapu ta linipatnak ken nagtalekka iti inaallilaw.
26 So I will pull your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be seen.
Isu a Siak a mismo, ikkatekto dagiti paldam, ket makitanto dagiti paset ti bagim nga illemlemmengmo.
27 Your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution on the hills and in the fields— I have seen your detestable acts. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”
Ti pannakikammalalam ken panaggartemmo, ti nakababain a dinederrep a kababalinmo iti rabaw dagiti turod ken kadagiti tay-ak! Ipakitakto dagitoy, dagitoy a makarimon a banbanag! Asika pay Jerusalem! Saankan a nadalus. Kasano pay kabayag ti panagtultuloy daytoy?”
