< Jeremiah 2 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
2 Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.
“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 first-fruits of his increase: all who made attacks on him were judged as wrongdoers, evil came on them, says 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 Give ear to the words of the Lord, O sons of Jacob and all the families of Israel:
Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, O balay ni Jacob ken tunggal pamilia iti balay ti Israel.
5 These are the words of the Lord: What evil have your fathers seen in me that they have gone far from me, and, walking after what is false, have become false?
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 And they never said, Where is the Lord, who took us up out of the land of Egypt; who was our guide through the waste of sand, through an unplanted land full of deep holes, through a dry land of deep shade, which no one went through and where no man was living?
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 And I took you into a fertile land, where you were living on its fruit and its wealth; but when you came in, you made my land unclean, and made my heritage a disgusting thing.
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 say, Where is the Lord? and those who were expert in the law had no knowledge of me: and the rulers did evil against me, and the prophets became prophets of the Baal, going after things without value.
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 For this reason, I will again put forward my cause against you, says the Lord, even against you and against your children's children.
Isu nga akusarankayo latta—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ken akusarak dagiti annak dagiti annakyo.
10 For go over to the sea-lands of Kittim and see; send to Kedar and give deep thought to it; and see if there has ever been such a thing.
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 any nation ever made a change in their gods, though they are no gods? but my people have given up their glory in exchange for what is of no profit.
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 full of wonder, O heavens, at this; be overcome with fear, be completely waste, says the Lord.
Agkintayegkayo, dakayo a langlangit gapu iti daytoy! Makigtot ken agbutengkayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
13 For my people have done two evils; they have given up me, the fountain of living waters, and have made for themselves water-holes, cut out from the rock, broken water-holes, of no use for storing 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 servant? has he been a house-servant from birth? why has he been made waste?
Tagabu kadi ni Israel? Saan kadi a naipasngay isuna iti pagtaengan? Apay ngarud a nagbalin isuna a samsam?
15 The young lions have made an outcry against him with a loud voice: they have made his land waste; his towns are burned up, with no one living in them.
Nagngernger dagiti urbon a leon kenkuana. Nagariwawada iti kasta unay ket pinagbalinda a nakabutbuteng ti dagana! Nadadael dagiti siudadna ket awan ti agnanaed.
16 Even the children of Noph and Tahpanhes have put shame on you.
Kasta met a kinalboandaka dagiti tattao ti Memfis ken Tafanes ken pinagbalindaka a tagabu!
17 Has not this come on you because you have given up the Lord your God, who was your guide by the way?
Saan kadi a sika met laeng ti nangaramid iti daytoy iti bagim idi immadayoka kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, kabayatan nga idaldalannaka?
18 And now, what have you to do on the way to Egypt, to get your drink from the waters of the Nile? or what have you to do on the way to Assyria, to get your drink from the waters of the River?
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 The evil you yourselves have done will be your punishment, your errors will be your judge: be certain then, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing to give up the Lord your God, and no longer to be moved by fear of me, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
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 in the past, your yoke was broken by your hands and your cords parted; and you said, I will not be your servant; for on every high hill and under every branching tree, your behaviour was like that of a loose woman
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 But when you were planted by me, you were a noble vine, in every way a true seed: how then have you been changed into the branching plant of a strange 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 For even if you are washed with soda and take much soap, still your evil-doing is marked before me, says the Lord God.
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 are you able to say, I am not unclean, I have not gone after the Baals? see your way in the valley, be clear about what you have done: you are a quick-footed camel twisting her way in and out;
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 An untrained ass, used to the waste land, breathing up the wind in her desire; at her time, who is able to send her away? all those who are looking for her will have no need to make themselves tired; in her month they will get 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 Do not let your foot be without shoes, or your throat dry from need of water: but you said, There is no hope: no, for I have been a lover of strange gods, and after them I will go.
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 shamed when he is taken, so is Israel shamed; they, their kings and their rulers, 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 Who say to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You have given me life: for their backs have been turned to me, not their faces: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Up! and be our saviour.
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 have made for yourselves? let them come, if they are able to give you salvation in the time of your trouble: for the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, 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 will you put forward your cause against me? You have all done evil against me, says the Lord.
Isu nga apay nga akusarandak a nakaaramidak iti biddut? Aminkayo ket nagbasol kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
30 I gave your children blows to no purpose; they got no good from training: your sword has been the destruction of your prophets, like a death-giving 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 O generation, see the word of the Lord. Have I been a waste land to Israel? or a land of dark night? why do my people say, We have got loose, we will not come to you again?
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 Is it possible for a virgin to put out of her memory her ornaments, or a bride her robes? but my people have put me out of their memories for unnumbered days.
Malipatan kadi ti birhen ti alahasna, ti nobia dagiti belona? Ngem nalipatannak dagiti tattaok iti saan a mabilang nga aldaw!
33 With what care are your ways ordered when you are looking for love! so ... your ways.
Anian a panangaramidmo iti amin a kabaelam nga agbirok iti ayat. Insurom pay dagiti wagasmo kadagiti nadangkes a babbai.
34 And in the skirts of your robe may be seen the life-blood of those who have done no wrong: ...
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 And still you said, I have done no wrong; truly, his wrath is turned away from me. See, I will take up the cause against you, because you say, I have done no wrong.
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 Why do you go about so much for the purpose of changing your way? you will be shamed on account of Egypt, as you were shamed on account of 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 Truly, you will go out from him with your hands on your head: for the Lord has given up those in whom you have put your faith, and they will be of no help to you.
Rummuarkanto met sadiay a naliday, a nakaparabaw dagiti imam iti ulom, ta linaksid ni Yahweh dagiti pagtaltalkam, isu a saandaka a matulongan dagitoy.”
