< Jeremiah 3 >

1 They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.
“Kunada, 'Adda maysa a lalaki a mangpatpatalaw iti asawana, isu a pimmanaw ti babai ket nagbalin nga asawa ti sabali a lalaki. Rumbeng kadi a sublien ti lalaki ti babai? Saan kadi a naan-anayen a narugit ti babai?' Dayta a babai ket daytoy a daga! Nagtignayka a kas iti balangkantis nga addaan iti adu a kaayan-ayat, ket ita kayatmo ti agsubli kaniak? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
2 Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.
Tumangadka ket kumitaka kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod! Sadino ti saanmo a nakikaiddaan? Nagtugawka kadagiti igid dagiti daldalan a mangur-uray kadagiti kaayan-ayatmo, a kasla ka la tulisan nga agpadpadaan idiay let-ang. Tinulawam ti daga iti kinabalangkantis ken kinadangkesmo.
3 So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.
Isu a nalapdan dagiti arbis ken saan a nagtinnag ti maudi a tudo. Ngem natangsit ta rupam a kas iti rupa ti balangkantis a babai. Saanmo ng ammo ti agbain.
4 Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years?
Manipud ita a tiempo, saankanto aya nga umawag kaniak a kunam, 'Amak! Sika ti kasingedan a gayyemko manipud pay kinaagtutubok.
5 Will he be angry for ever? will he keep his wrath to the end? These things you have said, and have done evil and have had your way.
Agnanayon kadi ti ungetmo? Pagtalinaedem kadi a kanayon ti ungetmo?' Dumngegka! Impakaammom nga agaramidka iti dakes, ket inaramidmo dayta. Itultuloymo ngarud nga aramiden dayta!”
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel, turning away from me, has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every branching tree, acting like a loose woman there.
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak kadagidi aldaw ni Josias nga ari, “Makitam kadi ti panangliput ti Israel kaniak? Mapan isuna iti tunggal nangato a bantay ken iti sirok ti tunggal nalangto a kayo, ket sadiay agtignay a kasla balangkantis a babai.
7 And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.
Kinunak, 'Kalpasan a maaramidna amin dagitoy a banbanag, agsublinto isuna kaniak,' ngem saan nagsubli. Ket nakita ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda ti inaramidna.
8 And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.
Isu a nakitak a gapu kadagitoy amin a nakikamalala isuna. Managsukir nga Israel! Pinagtalawko isuna ket inikkak iti kasuratan ti panagsina. Ngem saan a nagbuteng ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda, ket rimmuar ken nagtigtignay met a kas iti balangkantis a babai!
9 So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.
Awan aniamanna kenkuana a tinulawanna ti daga, isu a nagaramidda kadagiti bato ken kayo a didiosen.
10 But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord.
Ket kalpasan amin dagitoy, uray ti nagulib a kabsatna a ni Juda ket saan a nagsubli kaniak iti amin a pusona, no di ket naginsusubli! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Nalinlinteg ti mangliliput nga Israel ngem iti nagulib a Juda!
12 Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.
Mapanmo iwaragawag daytoy iti amianan. Kunaem, ''Agsublika, sika a mangliliput nga Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—saanakto a kanayon a makaunget kenka. Agsipud ta napudnoak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—saanak nga agnanayon a makaunget.”
13 Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.
Bigbigem ti basolmo, ta nagbasolka kenni Yahweh a Diosmo; nakinaigka kadagiti ganggannaet iti sirok dagiti nalalangto a kayo! Ta saanmo nga impangag ti timekko! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
14 Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;
Agsublikayo, dakayo a saan a napudno a tattao! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta inasawakayo! Mangalaak kadakayo iti maysa manipud iti tunggal siudad, dua manipud iti tunggal puli, ket ipankayo idiay Sion!
15 And I will give you keepers, pleasing to my heart, who will give you your food with knowledge and wisdom.
Ikkankayto kadagiti agpaspastor nga iti pagayatanna ket ti pagayatak, ken idalandakayonto nga addaan iti pannakaammo ken kinasirib.
16 And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.
Ket mapasamakto, nga umadu ken maaddaankayonto iti adu a kaputotan iti daytoy a daga kadagidiay nga al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Saandanton nga ibaga, “Ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh!” Saandanton a malagip daytoy, ta saandanto a panunoten ti maipanggep iti daytoy wenno ikaskaso daytoy. Daytoy a sao ket saanton a maibaga pay.'
17 At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.
Iti dayta a tiempo, iwaragawagdanto maipanggep iti Jerusalem, 'Daytoy ti trono ni Yahweh,' ket aguummongto dagiti amin a nasion idiay Jerusalem iti nagan ni Yahweh. Saandanton nga aramiden dagiti dakes a tartarigagayanda.
18 In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.
Kadagidiay nga aldaw, makipagkaykaysanto ti balay ti Juda iti balay ti Israel. Agkuyogdanto nga umay manipud iti daga iti amianan ket mapanda iti daga nga intedko a kas tawid kadagiti kapuonanyo.
19 But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.
No kaniak, kinunak, 'Kayatka a padayawan a kas anakko a lalaki ken ikkanka iti nasayaat a daga, maysa a tawid a napinpintas ngem iti adda iti sadinnoman a nasion!' Imbagak koma nga, 'Awagandak nga “amak”.' Imbagak koma a saankanto a sumina iti panangsurotmo kaniak.
20 Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.
Ngem kas iti babai a saan a napudno iti asawana, liniputannak, sika a balay ti Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
21 A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.
“Adda ariwawa a mangngeg kadagiti patad, ti panagsangit ken panagpakaasi dagiti tattao ti Israel! Ta binaliwanda dagiti wagasda; nalipatandak, Siak a ni Yahweh a Diosda.
22 Come back, you children who have been turned away, and I will take away your desire for wandering. See, we have come to you, for you are the Lord our God.
Agsublikayo, dakayo a tattao a nangtallikud iti Apo! Paimbagenkayo iti kinamanangallilawyo!” “Adtoy! Umaykami kenka, ta sika ni Yahweh a Diosmi!
23 Truly, the hills, and the noise of an army on the mountains, are a false hope: truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
Ulbod laeng ti agtaud kadagiti turod, manipud kadagiti adu a bantay. Pudno a ti pannakaisalakan ti Israel ket adda laeng kenni Yahweh a Diostayo.
24 But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Ngem dagiti nakababain a didiosen ket inalun-onda dagiti nagbannogan dagiti kapuonantayo— dagiti arban iti karnero ken bakada, dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai!
25 Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.
Agiddatayo a sibabain. Abbongannatayo koma ti pannakaibabaintayo, ta nagbasoltayo kenni Yahweh a Diostayo! Datayo a mismo ken dagiti kapuonantayo, manipud idi tiempo ti kinaagtutubotayo agingga kadagitoy nga agdama nga aldaw, saantayo a dimngeg iti timek ni Yahweh a Diostayo!”
