< Jeremiah 6 >

1 “O sons of Benjamin, be strengthened in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Tekoa, and lift up a banner over the house of Haccherem. For an evil has been seen from the north, with great destruction.
Birukenyo ti pagtalgedanyo, tattao ti Benjamin, babaen iti panangpanawyo iti Jerusalem. Mangpaunikayo iti tangguyob idiay Tekoa. Mangipangatokayo iti pagilasinan idiay Bet-Hakerem, agsipud ta agparparang ti kinadangkes manipud amianan; sumungsungaden ti dakkel a pannakadadael.
2 I have compared the daughter of Zion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
Ti anak a babai ti Sion, ti napintas ken makaay-ayo a balasang, ket madadaelto.
3 The pastors will come to her with their flocks. They have pitched their tents against her all around. Each one will feed those who are under his hand.
Mapanto kadakuada dagiti agpaspastor agraman dagiti arbanda; agpatakderdanto kadagiti tolda iti aglawlaw daytoy; agpastorto ti tunggal tao baben iti bukodna nga ima.
4 ‘Sanctify a war against her! Rise up together, and let us ascend at midday.’ ‘Woe to us! For the day has declined; for the shadows of the evening have grown longer.’
Kunanto dagiti ari, “Idatonyo dagiti bagbagiyo kadagiti dios para iti gubat. Tumakderkayo, rumauttayo iti tengnga ti aldaw. Saan a nasayaat a lumneken ti init ket sumipngeten.
5 ‘Rise up, and let us ascend in the night, and let us destroy her houses.’”
Ngem rumauttayo iti rabii ket dadaelentayo dagiti sarikedkedna.''
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Cut down her trees, and build a rampart around Jerusalem. This is the city of visitation! Every kind of false claim is in her midst.
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Pukanenyo dagiti kayo ti Jerusalem, ken pagtutuonenyo a panglakub iti Jerusalem. Daytoy ti umisu a siudad a rautentayo, gapu ta napnoan daytoy iti panangidadanes.
7 Just as a cistern makes its water cold, so has she made her wickedness cold. Iniquity and devastation will be heard in her; sickness and wounds will be ever before me.
Kas iti bubon nga agtultuloy a mangmangted iti danum, kasta met ti panangparparnuay daytoy a siudad iti kinadakes. Kinaranggas ken riribuk ket mangmangngeg kenkuana. Agtultuloy ti panagsagaba ken didigra iti sangoanak.
8 O Jerusalem, accept instruction, lest perhaps my soul may withdraw from you; lest perhaps I may set you in a desert, in an uninhabitable land.”
Awatem ti panangiwanwan, Jerusalem, ta no saan, tallikudanka ket dadaelenka, pagbalinenka a maysa a langalang a daga.'”
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “They will gather the remnant of Israel, even as a single cluster of grapes is gathered from a vine. Direct your hand, as a grape-gatherer directs his hand to the basket.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Manakabalin-amin, “Awan duadua nga umayda tudtoden a kas iti kaubasan dagiti nabatbati iti Israel. Igaw-atyo manen ti imayo a mangpuros iti bunga ti ubas manipud kadagiti sanga ti ubas.
10 To whom should I speak, and to whom should I testify, so as to be heard? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and so they are unable to hear. Behold, for them, the word of the Lord has become a disgrace. And so they will not accept it.
Siasino ti rumbeng a pangipakaammoak ken pangiballaagak tapno dumngegda? Kitaem! Saan a nakugit dagiti lapayagda; saanda a kabaelan ti mangipangag! Kitaem! Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kadakuada a mangiwanwan kadakuada, ngem saanda a kayat daytoy.”
11 For this reason, I have been filled with the fury of the Lord. I labor to bear it. Let it be poured out upon the child outside, or upon a group of young men meeting together. For a man will be taken captive with a woman, an elder will be taken captive with one who is full of days.
Ngem napnoanak iti pungtot ni Yahweh, Nabannogakon a mangib-ibtur iti daytoy. Kinunana kaniak, “Ibuyatmo daytoy kadagiti ubbing kadagiti kalsada ken kadagiti bunggoy dagiti agtutubo a lallaki. Ta maipanaw ti tunggal lalaki a kadduana ti asawana; ken tunggal nataengan a tao kasta met dagiti adun iti tawenna.
12 And their houses will be given over to others, with both their lands and their wives. For I will extend my hand over the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord.
Maitedto iti sabali dagiti balayda, agraman dagiti taltalonda ken dagiti assawada. Ta rautekto dagiti agnanaed iti daga babaen iti imak-daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh-
13 Certainly, from the least of them even to the greatest, all of them practice greed. And from the prophet even to the priest, all of them act with deceit.
ta manipud iti kanunumoan kadakuada agingga kadagiti katatan-okan – agar-aramid ti tunggal maysa kadakuada iti saan a nalinteg a pamusmusan tapno makakuarta. Manipud iti profeta agingga iti padi- manangallilaw ti tunggal maysa kadakuada.
14 And they healed the destruction of the daughter of my people with disgrace, by saying: ‘Peace, peace.’ And there was no peace.
Ngem agasanda dagiti sugsugat dagiti tattaok iti parparawpaw laeng, no kasta a kunaenda, ‘Kappia! Kappia!' idinto nga awan iti kappia.
15 They were confounded, because they committed an abomination. Or rather, they were not confounded with shame, because they did not know how to blush. For this reason, they will fall among those who are being destroyed. In the time of their visitation, they will fall, says the Lord.”
Nagbainda kadi idi nagaramidda kadagiti makarimon? Saanda a pulos a nagbain; saanda a napadasan ti nagpakumbaba. Isu a matnagdanto a kadua dagiti matnag iti tiempo a dusaek ida. Maabakdanto,” kuna ni Yahweh.
16 Thus says the Lord: “Stand above the ways, and see and ask, about the ancient paths, as to which is the good way, and then walk in it. And you will find refreshment for your souls. But they said: ‘We will not walk.’
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Agtakderkayo iti nagsangaan ti dalan ket kitaenyo; damagenyo dagiti nagkauna a pagnaan. Sadino ditoy ti nasayaat a dalan?' Ket mapankayo iti daytoy ket mangsapulkayo iti lugar a paginanaanyo. Ngem kuna dagiti tattao, Saankami a mapan.'
17 And I appointed watchers over you, saying: ‘Listen for the sound of the trumpet.’ And they said: ‘We will not listen.’
Nangdutokak kadakayo kadagiti agbantay a mangdengngeg iti tangguyob. Ngem kinunada, ' Saankaminto nga agdengngeg.
18 For this reason, hear, O Gentiles, and know, O congregation, how much I will do to them.
Ngarud, dumngegkayo, dakayo a nasion! Kitaenyo, dakayo a saksi, no anianto ti mapasamak kadakuada.
19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will lead evils over this people, as the fruits of their own thoughts. For they have not listened to my words, and they have cast aside my law.
Denggem, daga! Kitaem, dandanikon iyeg ti didigra kadagitoy a tattao- ti bunga dagiti panpanunotda. Saanda nga impangag ti saok wenno ti paglintegak, ngem ketdi, linaksidda daytoy.”
20 For what reason are you bringing me frankincense from Sheba, and sweet smelling reeds from a far away land? Your holocausts are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
Ania ti serbina kaniak daytoy nga insenso a mapupuoran manipud idiay Seba? Wenno dagitoy a nasam-it nga ayamuom manipud iti adayo a daga? Saan a makaay-ayo kaniak dagiti datonyo a maipuor, uray pay dagiti sagutyo.
21 Therefore, thus says the Lord: “Behold I will bring this people to utter ruin, and they will fall, with their fathers and sons; neighbor and relative will perish together.”
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Kitaem, dandaniakon a mangikabil iti maysa a pakaitibkolan a bato kadagitoy a tattao. Maitibkoldanto iti daytoy- dagiti amma ken dagiti annak a lallaki. Mapukawto met dagiti agnanaed ken dagiti kaarrubada.
22 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, a people is coming from the land of the north, and a great nation will rise up from the ends of the earth.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, ‘Kitaem, adda tattao nga aggapu iti akin-amianan a daga nga umay. Ta nakasaganan nga umay ti dakkel a nasion manipud iti adayo a daga.
23 They will take hold of arrow and shield. They are cruel, and they will not take pity. Their voice will roar like the ocean. And they will climb upon horses, for they have been prepared like men for battle, against you, O daughter of Zion.
Pidutendanto dagiti pana ken gayangda. Naulpit ken awan asida. Kasla daranudor ti baybay ti ariwawada, ken nakasakayda kadagiti kabalio a nakasagana a kas kadagiti makiranget a lallaki, dakayo nga annak a babbai ti Sion.”'
24 ‘We have heard of their fame. Our hands have become weakened. Tribulation has overtaken us, like the pains of a woman giving birth.’
Nangngegmi dagiti damag maipanggep kadakuada. Kimmapsut dagiti imami gapu iti tuok. Nakariknakami ti ut-ot a kas iti ut-ot ti agpaspasikal a babai.
25 Do not choose to go out into the fields, and you should not walk along the roadway. For the sword and the terror of the enemy is on every side.
Saankayo a rummuar kadagiti kataltalunan, ken saankayo a magna kadagiti kalsada, ta kampilan ti kabusor ken nakabutbuteng ti adda iti aglawlaw.
26 Wrap yourself in haircloth, O daughter of my people. And sprinkle yourself with ashes. Make a mourning for yourself, as for an only son, a bitter lamentation: ‘for the destroyer will overwhelm us suddenly.’
Anak a babai dagiti tattaok, agkaweska iti nakersang a lupot ket agtulidka iti katapukan gapu iti pannakaitabon iti bugbugtong nga anak. Agunnoyka iti nasaem a panagunnoy, ta kellaatto nga umay kadatayo ti mangdadael.
27 I have presented you as a strong tester among my people. And you will test and know their way.
”Pinagbalinka, Jeremias, a mangsubok kadagiti tattaok a kas maysa a manggugor iti landok, isu a sukimaten ken subokemto dagiti wagasda.
28 All these leaders who are turning away and walking deceitfully, they are brass and iron; they have all been corrupted.
Isuda amin ket kasukiran kadagiti tattao, a mangparpardaya kadagiti dadduma. Isuda amin ket gambang ken landok, nga agtigtignay a sidadangkes.
29 The bellows has failed; the lead has been consumed by fire; the molten metal was melted to no purpose. For their wickedness has not been consumed.
Napigsa ti yuboyuban tapno maparubruban ti apuy a mangguggugor kadakuada; mapupuoran ti buli iti darang. Agtultuloy ti pananggugor kadagitoy, ngem awan serserbina, gapu ta saan a naikkat ti kinadakes.
30 Call them: ‘Rejected silver.’ For the Lord has cast them aside.”
Maawagandanto a naibelleng a pirak, ta imbelleng ida ni Yahweh.”
