Jeremiah 12
1 You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?
Ikaw ay matuwid, Oh Panginoon, nang ako'y makipagtalo sa iyo; gayon ma'y makikipagmatuwiranan ako sa iyo: bakit gumiginhawa ang lakad ng masama? bakit nangatitiwasay silang lahat na nagsisigawa ng may lubhang kataksilan?
2 They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts.
Iyong itinanim sila, oo, sila'y nangagkaugat; nagsisitubo, oo, sila'y nangagbubunga: ikaw ay malapit sa kanilang bibig, at malayo sa kanilang mga puso.
3 But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.
Nguni't ikaw, Oh Panginoon, nakakakilala sa akin; iyong nakikita ako, at tinatarok mo ang aking puso: itaboy mo silang gaya ng mga tupa sa patayan, at ihanda mo sila sa kaarawan ng pagpatay.
4 How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.
Hanggang kailan tatangis ang lupain, at matutuyo ang mga damo sa buong lupain? dahil sa kasamaan nila na nagsisitahan doon, nilipol ang mga hayop, at ang mga ibon; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Hindi niya makikita ang ating huling kawakasan.
5 If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?
Kung ikaw ay tumakbo na kasama ng nangaglalakad, at kanilang pinagod ka, paano ngang makikipagunahan ka sa mga kabayo? at bagaman sa lupain ng kapayapaan ay tiwasay ka, gayon ma'y paano ang gagawin mo sa kapalaluan ng Jordan?
6 For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you.
Sapagka't ang iyong mga kapatid man at ang sangbahayan ng iyong magulang, ay nagsigawa ring may kataksilan sa iyo; nagsihiyaw rin ng malakas sa hulihan mo: huwag mong paniwalaan sila, bagaman sila'y nangagsasalita ng mga mabuting salita sa iyo.
7 I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.
Aking pinabayaan ang aking bahay, aking itinakuwil ang aking mana; aking ibinigay ang giliw na sinta ng aking kaluluwa sa kamay ng kaniyang mga kaaway.
8 My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.
Sa akin ang mana ko ay naging parang leon sa gubat: kaniyang inilakas ang kaniyang tinig laban sa akin; kaya't aking ipinagtanim siya.
9 My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.
Ang akin bagang mana sa akin ay naging parang mangdadagit na ibong batikbatik? ang mga mangdadagit na ibon baga ay laban sa kaniya sa palibot? kayo'y magsiyaon, inyong pagpulungin ang lahat na hayop sa parang, inyong dalhin sila rito upang magsipanakmal.
10 The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;
Sinira ng maraming pastor ang aking ubasan, kanilang niyapakan ng paa ang aking bahagi, kanilang ginawa ang aking mahalagang bahagi na ilang na sira.
11 They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
Kanilang ginawa, itong isang kagibaan; tumatangis sa akin, palibhasa'y sira; ang buong lupain ay nasira, sapagka't walang taong gumugunita.
12 Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Mga manglilipol ay nagsidating sa lahat na luwal na kaitaasan sa ilang: sapagka't ang tabak ng Panginoon ay nananakmal mula sa isang dulo ng lupain hanggang sa kabilang dulo ng lupain walang taong may kapayapaan.
13 Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
Sila'y nangaghasik ng trigo, at nagsiani ng mga tinik: sila'y nangagpakahirap, at walang pinakikinabang: at kayo'y mangapapahiya sa inyong mga gawa, dahil sa mabangis na galit ng Panginoon.
14 This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon laban sa lahat na masama kong kapuwa, na nagsisigalaw ng mana sa aking bayang Israel, Narito, akin silang bubunutin sa kanilang lupain, at aking bubunutin ang sangbahayan ni Juda sa gitna nila.
15 And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.
At mangyayari, na pagkatapos na aking mabunot sila, ako'y babalik at maaawa sa kanila; at aking ibabalik sila uli, bawa't tao ay sa kaniyang mana, at bawa't tao ay sa kaniyang lupain.
16 And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.
At mangyayari, kung kanilang matutuhang masikap ang mga lakad ng aking bayan, ang pagsumpa sa pangalan ko, Buhay ang Panginoon; sa makatuwid baga'y gaya ng kanilang itinuro sa bayan ko na pagsumpa sa pangalan ni Baal: ay mangatatayo nga sila sa gitna ng aking bayan.
17 But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.
Nguni't kung hindi nila didinggin, akin ngang bubunutin ang bansang yaon, na bubunutin at lilipulin sabi ng Panginoon.
