Jeremiah 2
1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.
“Mapanmo iwaragawag kadagiti lapayag ti Jerusalem. Kunaem, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Linagipko para iti apgsayaatam ti kinapudnom iti katulaganta idi agtutuboka, ti ayatmo idi tiempo a nagtulagta nga agasawata, idi sinurotnak idiay let-ang, a daga a saan a namulaan.
3 Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of His harvest. All who devoured her found themselves guilty; disaster came upon them,’” declares the LORD.
Naidaton kenni Yahweh ti Israel, ti immuna a bunga ti apit! Amin a nangan manipud kadagiti immuna a bunga ket nakabasol! Dakesto ti mapagtengda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'”
4 Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel.
Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, O balay ni Jacob ken tunggal pamilia iti balay ti Israel.
5 This is what the LORD says: “What fault did your fathers find in Me that they strayed so far from Me, and followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves?
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Ania aya ti biddut a nasarakan dagiti ammayo kaniak, ta immadayoda iti panangsurotda kaniak? Ta sinurotda dagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ket nagbalinda met nga awan serserbina?
6 They did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and pits, a land of drought and darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?’
Saanda man laeng a sinaludsod, 'Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh, a nangiruar kadatayo iti daga ti Egipto? Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh, a nangidalan kadatayo idiay let-ang, iti daga ti Araba, iti abut iti daga a namaga ken kasta unay ti kinasipngetna, daga nga awan iti lumablabas ken awan iti agnanaed?'
7 I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty, but you came and defiled My land, and made My inheritance detestable.
Ngem impankayo iti daga ti Carmel, tapno kanenyo ti bunga daytoy ken dagiti dadduma a nasayaat a banbanag! Ngem idi immaykayo, tinulawanyo ti dagak, pinagbalinyo a makarimon ti tawidko!
8 The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD?’ The experts in the law no longer knew Me, and the leaders rebelled against Me. The prophets prophesied by Baal and followed useless idols.
Saan a sinaludsod ti padi, 'Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh?' ken saan nga inkankano dagiti nalalaing iti linteg! Nagbasol kaniak dagiti agpaspastor. Nagipadto dagiti profeta para kenni Baal ken nagdaydayawda kadagiti awan mamaayna a banbanag.
9 Therefore, I will contend with you again, declares the LORD, and I will bring a case against your children’s children.
Isu nga akusarankayo latta—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ken akusarak dagiti annak dagiti annakyo.
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus and take a look; send to Kedar and consider carefully; see if there has ever been anything like this:
Ta bumallasiwkayo kadagiti igid ti baybay ti Kitim ket kitaenyo. Mangibaonkayo kadagiti mensahero a mapan idiay Kedar ket ammoen ken kitaenyo no adda iti kas iti daytoy a napasamak idi.
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods, though they are no gods at all? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.
Adda aya nasion a nangisukat kadagiti diosna, nupay saan a pudno a dios dagitoy? Ngem insukat dagiti tattaok ti dayagda iti awan maitulongna kadakuada.
12 Be stunned by this, O heavens; be shocked and utterly appalled,”
Agkintayegkayo, dakayo a langlangit gapu iti daytoy! Makigtot ken agbutengkayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
13 “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns— broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Ta nakaaramid kaniak dagiti tattaok iti dua a kita iti kinadakes: Pinanawanda dagiti ubbog iti sibibiag a danum gapu iti panagkalida kadagiti bubon para kadakuada, nadadael a bubon a saan a makargaan iti danum!
14 Is Israel a slave? Was he born into slavery? Why then has he become prey?
Tagabu kadi ni Israel? Saan kadi a naipasngay isuna iti pagtaengan? Apay ngarud a nagbalin isuna a samsam?
15 The young lions have roared at him; they have growled with a loud voice. They have laid waste his land; his cities lie in ruins, without inhabitant.
Nagngernger dagiti urbon a leon kenkuana. Nagariwawada iti kasta unay ket pinagbalinda a nakabutbuteng ti dagana! Nadadael dagiti siudadna ket awan ti agnanaed.
16 The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.
Kasta met a kinalboandaka dagiti tattao ti Memfis ken Tafanes ken pinagbalindaka a tagabu!
17 Have you not brought this on yourself by forsaking the LORD your God when He led you in the way?
Saan kadi a sika met laeng ti nangaramid iti daytoy iti bagim idi immadayoka kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, kabayatan nga idaldalannaka?
18 Now what will you gain on your way to Egypt to drink the waters of the Nile? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates?
Ita ngarud, apay a magnaka iti dalan nga agturong idiay Egipto ken uminomka iti danum ti Sihor? Apay a magnaka iti dalan nga agturong idiay Asiria ken uminomka iti danum ti Karayan Eufrates?
19 Your own evil will discipline you; your own apostasies will reprimand you. Consider and realize how evil and bitter it is for you to forsake the LORD your God and to have no fear of Me,”
Matubtubngarka gapu iti kinadangkesmo, ken madusdusaka gapu iti panangtallikudmo kaniak. Isu a panunotem ti maipapan iti daytoy ket amirisem a nadangkes ken nasaem ti ipaay kenka ti panangtallikudmo kaniak, Siak, a ni Yahweh a Diosmo, ken ti saanmon a panagbuteng kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo a Mannakabalin amin.
20 “For long ago you broke your yoke and tore off your chains, saying, ‘I will not serve!’ Indeed, on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down as a prostitute.
Ta dinadaelko ti sangol nga adda kenka idi un-unana nga al-aldaw; pinugsatko dagiti kawarmo. Ngem kinunam latta, 'Saanak nga agserbi!' agsipud ta nagrukbabka iti tunggal nangato a turod ken iti sirok ti tunggal nalangto a kayo, sika a mannakikamalala.
21 I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before Me into a rotten, wild vine?
Ngem siak a mismo ti nangimula kenka a kas iti napili nga ubas, maysa a napintas a bukel. Ngem anian ta nagbalbaliwka kaniak, nagbalinka a kasla nalungtot nga ubas nga awan serserbina!
22 Although you wash with lye and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before Me,”
Ta uray no dalusam ti bagim iti karayan wenno agusarka iti napigsa a sabon, ti basolmo ket mansa latta iti sangoanak—daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals’? Look at your behavior in the valley; acknowledge what you have done. You are a swift young she-camel galloping here and there,
Kasano a maibagam, 'Saanak a natulawan! Saanak a nagdayaw kadagiti Baal?' Kitaem ti kababalinmo kadagiti tanap! Ammirisem ti inaramidmo, sika a napartak a kamelio a taray a taray!
24 a wild donkey at home in the wilderness, sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can restrain her passion? All who seek her need not weary themselves; in mating season they will find her.
Naatapka nga asno, a naruam iti let-ang, agtartarigagay iti biag ken agal-al-al iti awan serserbina nga angin! Siasino ti makapasardeng iti daytoy inton agmaya? Siasinoman nga agsapul iti daytoy ket saan a mabannog. Mapanda iti daytoy iti kabulanan ti panagmayana.
25 You should have kept your feet from going bare and your throat from being thirsty. But you said, ‘It is hopeless! For I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.’
Masapul a lappedam dagiti sakam nga agsakasaka ken ti karabukobmo iti pannakawaw! Ngem kinunam, 'Awan namnama! Saan, pagaayatko dagiti ganggannaet ket surotek ida!”
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is caught, so the house of Israel is disgraced. They, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets
Kas iti pannakaibabain iti agtatakaw no kasta a matakuatan isuna, kastanto met ti pannakaibabain ti balay ti Israel—isuda, dagiti arida, dagiti prinsipeda, ken dagiti papadi ken profetada!
27 say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their backs to Me and not their faces, yet in the time of trouble they beg, ‘Rise up and save us!’
Isuda dagiti nangibaga iti kayo, 'Sika ti amak,' ken iti bato, 'Impasngaynak.' Gapu ta ti likudda ti nakasango kaniak a saan ket a dagiti rupada. Nupay kasta, ibagbagada iti tiempo ti riribuk, 'Tumakderka ket isalakannakami!'
28 But where are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them rise up in your time of trouble and save you if they can; for your gods are as numerous as your cities, O Judah.
Ngem sadino ti ayan dagiti didiosen nga inaramidmo para kenka? Tumakderda koma ngarud a no tarigagayda nga isalakandaka kadagiti tiempo a mariribukanka, ta agpada ti bilang dagiti didiosem kadagiti siudadmo, sika Juda!
29 Why do you bring a case against Me? You have all rebelled against Me,”
Isu nga apay nga akusarandak a nakaaramidak iti biddut? Aminkayo ket nagbasol kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
30 “I have struck your sons in vain; they accepted no discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a voracious lion.”
Awan serserbina ti panangdusak kadagiti tattaoyo. Saanda nga awaten ti panangiwanwanko. Inalun-on ti kampilanyo dagiti profetayo a kas iti naranggas a leon!
31 You people of this generation, consider the word of the LORD: “Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam; we will come to You no more’?
Dakayo a maibilang iti daytoy a henerasion! Ipangagyo ti saok, a sao ni Yahweh! Nagbalinak kadi a let-ang iti Israel? Wenno daga a kasta unay iti kinasipngetna? Apay nga ibaga dagiti tattaok, 'Mapankami iti sadinoman a kaykayatmi, saankamin nga umay kenka'?
32 Does a maiden forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet My people have forgotten Me for days without number.
Malipatan kadi ti birhen ti alahasna, ti nobia dagiti belona? Ngem nalipatannak dagiti tattaok iti saan a mabilang nga aldaw!
33 How skillfully you pursue love! Even the most immoral of women could learn from your ways.
Anian a panangaramidmo iti amin a kabaelam nga agbirok iti ayat. Insurom pay dagiti wagasmo kadagiti nadangkes a babbai.
34 Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor, though you did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things
Ti dara nga isu ti biag dagiti awan nakabasolanna, a napanglaw a tattao ket nasarakan kadagiti kawesmo. Dagitoy a tattao ket saan a nasarakan nga agar-aramid iti panagtakaw.
35 you say, ‘I am innocent. Surely His anger will turn from me.’ Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
Ngem ketdi, iti laksid amin dagitoy a banbanag, ibagbagam latta, 'Awan basolko. Awan duadua a bimmaawen ti pungtot ni Yahweh kaniak.' Ngem kitaem! Maukomkanto agsipud ta kunam, 'Saanak a nagbasol.'
36 How unstable you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be disappointed by Egypt just as you were by Assyria.
Apay a nalag-an laeng ti panangibilangmo iti daytoy a panagbaliw kadagiti wagasmo? Paayennakanto met ti Egipto, a kas iti pannakapaaymo iti Asiria.
37 Moreover, you will leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not prosper by their help.”
Rummuarkanto met sadiay a naliday, a nakaparabaw dagiti imam iti ulom, ta linaksid ni Yahweh dagiti pagtaltalkam, isu a saandaka a matulongan dagitoy.”
