< Jeremiah 22 >
1 This is what the Lord has said: Go down to the house of the king of Judah and there give him this word,
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Bumaba ka sa bahay ng hari sa Juda, at iyong salitain doon ang salitang ito,
2 And say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, seated on the seat of David, you and your servants and your people who come in by these doors.
At iyong sabihin, Dinggin mo ang salita ng Panginoon, Oh hari sa Juda, na nauupo sa luklukan ni David, ikaw at ang iyong mga lingkod, at ang iyong bayan na pumapasok sa mga pintuang ito.
3 This is what the Lord has said: Do what is right, judging uprightly, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away: do no wrong and be not violent to the man from a strange country and the child without a father and the widow, and let not those who have done no wrong be put to death in this place.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Mangagsagawa kayo ng kahatulan at ng katuwiran, at iligtas ninyo ang nanakawan sa kamay ng mamimighati: at huwag kayong magsigawa ng kamalian, huwag kayong magsigawa ng pangdadahas sa mga nakikipamayan, sa ulila, o sa babaing bao man; o mangagbubo man ng walang salang dugo sa dakong ito.
4 For if you truly do this, then there will come in through the doors of this house kings seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, he and his servants and his people
Sapagka't kung tunay na inyong gawin ang bagay na ito, magsisipasok nga sa mga pintuang-daan ng bahay na ito ang mga hari na nangauupo sa luklukan ni David, na nakasakay sa mga karo at sa mga kabayo, siya at ang kaniyang mga lingkod, at ang kaniyang bayan.
5 But if you do not give ear to these words, I give you my oath by myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a waste.
Nguni't kung hindi ninyo didinggin ang mga salitang ito, ako'y susumpa sa aking sarili, sabi ng Panginoon, na ang bahay na ito ay masisira.
6 For this is what the Lord has said about the family of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the top of Lebanon: but, truly, I will make you waste, with towns unpeopled.
Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon tungkol sa sangbahayan ng hari sa Juda, Ikaw ay Galaad sa akin, at ulo ng Libano; gayon ma'y tunay na gagawin kitang isang ilang, at mga bayang hindi tinatahanan.
7 And I will make ready those who will send destruction on you, everyone armed for war: by them your best cedar-trees will be cut down and put in the fire.
At ako'y maghahanda ng mga manglilipol laban sa iyo, bawa't isa'y may kaniyang mga almas; at kanilang puputulin ang iyong mga piling cedro, at ipaghahagis sa apoy.
8 And nations from all sides will go past this town, and every man will say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done such things to this great town?
At maraming bansa'y magsisipagdaan sa bayang ito, at mangagsasabi bawa't isa sa kanila sa kaniyang kapuwa, Ano't gumawa ang Panginoon ng ganito sa dakilang bayang ito?
9 And they will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord their God, and became worshippers and servants of other gods.
Kung magkagayo'y magsisisagot sila, Sapagka't kanilang pinabayaan ang tipan ng Panginoon na kanilang Dios, at nagsisamba sa ibang mga dios, at mga pinaglingkuran.
10 Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.
Huwag ninyong iyakan ang patay, o panaghuyan man ninyo siya; kundi iyakan ninyong mainam ang yumayaon; sapagka't hindi na siya babalik, o makikita man niya ang kaniyang lupaing tinubuan.
11 For this is what the Lord has said about Shallum, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: He will never come back there again:
Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon tungkol kay Sallum na anak ni Josias, na hari sa Juda, na nagharing kahalili ni Josias na kaniyang ama, na lumabas sa dakong ito. Siya'y hindi na babalik pa rito:
12 But death will come to him in the place where they have taken him away prisoner, and he will never see this land again.
Kundi sa dakong pinagdalhan sa kaniyang bihag, doon siya mamamatay, at hindi na niya makikita ang lupaing ito.
13 A curse is on him who is building his house by wrongdoing, and his rooms by doing what is not right; who makes use of his neighbour without payment, and gives him nothing for his work;
Sa aba niya na nagtatayo ng kaniyang bahay sa pamamagitan ng kalikuan, at ng kaniyang mga silid sa pamamagitan ng kalisyaan; na pinapaglilingkod ng kaniyang kapuwa na walang upa, at hindi niya binibigyan ng kaniyang kabayaran;
14 Who says, I will make a wide house for myself, and rooms of great size, and has windows cut out, and has it roofed with cedar and painted with bright red.
Na nagsasabi, Ako'y magtatayo ng maluwang na bahay at maluwang na mga silid, at nabubuksan ng mga dungawan; at nakikisamihan ng cedro, at nakukulayan ng pula.
15 Are you to be a king because you make more use of cedar than your father? did not your father take food and drink and do right, judging in righteousness, and then it was well for him?
Ikaw baga'y maghahari, sapagka't ikaw ay mayroong lalong maraming cedro? hindi ba ang iyong ama ay kumain at uminom, at naglapat ng kahatulan at kaganapan? nang magkagayo'y ikinabuti niya.
16 He was judge in the cause of the poor and those in need; then it was well. Was not this to have knowledge of me? says the Lord.
Kaniyang hinatulan ang usap ng dukha at mapagkailangan; nang magkagayo'y ikinabuti nga. Hindi baga ito ang pagkilala sa akin? sabi ng Panginoon.
17 But your eyes and your heart are fixed only on profit for yourself, on causing the death of him who has done no wrong, and on violent and cruel acts.
Nguni't ang iyong mga mata at ang iyong puso ay sa kasakiman lamang, at upang magbubo ng walang salang dugo, at sa kapighatian, at sa karahasan, upang gawin.
18 So this is what the Lord has said about Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon tungkol kay Joacim na anak ni Josias, na hari sa Juda, Hindi nila tataghuyan siya, na sasabihin, Ah kapatid kong lalake! o, Ah kapatid na babae! hindi nila tataghuyan siya, na sasabihin, Ah panginoon! o, Ah kaniyang kaluwalhatian!
19 They will do to him what they do to the dead body of an ass; his body will be pulled out and placed on the earth outside the doors of Jerusalem.
Siya'y malilibing ng libing asno, na hihilahin at itatapon sa labas ng mga pintuang-bayan ng Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon and give a cry; let your voice be loud in Bashan, crying out from Abarim; for all your lovers have come to destruction
Ikaw ay sumampa sa Libano, at humiyaw; at ilakas mo ang iyong tinig sa Basan, at ikaw ay humiyaw mula sa Abarim; sapagka't lahat ng mangingibig sa iyo ay nalipol.
21 My word came to you in the time of your well-being; but you said, I will not give ear. This has been your way from your earliest years, you did not give attention to my voice.
Ako'y nagsalita sa iyo sa iyong kaginhawahan; nguni't iyong sinabi, Hindi ko didinggin. Ito ang naging iyong paraan mula sa iyong kabataan, na hindi mo dininig ang aking tinig.
22 All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.
Lahat mong pastor ay pakakanin ng hangin, at ang mga mangingibig sa iyo ay mapapapasok sa pagkabihag; kung magkagayon ikaw ay mapapahiya at malilito dahil sa lahat mong kasamaan.
23 O you who are living in Lebanon, making your living-place in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied will you be when pains come on you, as on a woman in childbirth!
Oh nananahan sa Libano, na ginagawa mo ang iyong pugad sa mga cedro, kahabaghabag ka nga pagka ang mga pagdaramdam ay dumating sa iyo, ang hirap na gaya ng sa babae sa pagdaramdam!
24 By my life, says the Lord, even if Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, was the ring on my right hand, even from there I would have you pulled off;
Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoon, bagaman si Conias na anak ni Joacim na hari sa Juda ay maging singsing na panatak sa aking kanang kamay, akin ngang huhugutin ka mula roon;
25 And I will give you into the hands of those desiring your death, and into the hands of those whom you are fearing, even into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
At aking ibibigay ka sa kamay ng nagsisiusig ng iyong buhay, at sa kamay nila na iyong kinatatakutan, sa kamay ni Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, at sa kamay ng mga Caldeo.
26 I will send you out, and your mother who gave you birth, into another country not the land of your birth; and there death will come to you.
At itataboy ka, at ang iyong ina na nanganak sa iyo, sa ibang lupain, na hindi pinapanganakan sa inyo; at doon kayo mangamamatay.
27 But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.
Nguni't sa lupain na pinagnanasaan ng kanilang kaluluwa na pagbalikan, doon hindi sila mababalik.
28 Is this man Coniah a broken vessel of no value? is he a vessel in which there is no pleasure? why are they violently sent out, he and his seed, into a land which is strange to them?
Ito bagang lalaking si Conias ay isang sisidlang basag na walang kabuluhan? siya baga'y sisidlan na hindi kinaluluguran? bakit kanilang itinataboy, siya at ang kaniyang angkan, at itinapon sa lupain na hindi nila kilala?
29 O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!
Oh lupa, lupa, lupa, iyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon.
30 The Lord has said, Let this man be recorded as having no children, a man who will not do well in all his life: for no man of his seed will do well, seated on the seat of the kingdom of David and ruling again in Judah.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Isulat ninyo ang lalaking ito na walang anak, ang lalake na hindi giginhawa sa kaniyang mga kaarawan; sapagka't walang tao sa kaniyang angkan na giginhawa pa, na nauupo sa luklukan ni David, hindi na magpupuno pa sa Juda.
