< Jeremiah 29 >

1 Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremias, the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the ancients that were carried into captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Dagitoy dagiti sasao a nailanad iti nalukot a pagbasaan nga impatulod ni Jeremias manipud Jerusalem kadagiti nabatbati a panglakayen kadagiti natiliw, kadagiti papadi, kadagiti profeta, ken kadagiti amin a tattao nga impanaw ni Nebucadnezar a kas balud manipud Jerusalem nga impanna idiay Babilonia.
2 After that Jechonias the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Juda, and of Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the engravers were departed out of Jerusalem:
Daytoy ket kalpasan a naipanaw manipud Jerusalem ni Jehoiachin nga ari, ti reyna, dagiti nangangato nga opisial, dagiti mangidadaulo iti Juda ken Jerusalem, ken dagiti nalaing a pumapanday.
3 By the hand of Elasa the son of Saphan, and Gamarias the son of Helcias, whom Sedecias king of Juda sent to Babylon to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, saying:
Impatulodna daytoy a nalukot a pagbasaan babaen kenni Elasa a putot ni Sapan, kenni Gemaria a putot ni Hilkia nga imbaon ni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda a mapan kenni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia.
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Kastoy ti nailanad iti nalukot a pagbasaan, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel kadagiti amin a natiliw ken impaipanawko manipud Jerusalem a naipan a kas balud idiay Babilonia,
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them.
'Mangipatakderkayo kadagiti balbalay ket pagnaedanyo dagitoy. Mulaanyo dagiti pagmulaan ket kanenyo ti ibunga dagitoy.
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number.
Mangasawakayo ket aganakkayo iti lallaki ken babbai. Ket pangasawaenyo dagiti annakyo a lallaki, ken panagsawaenyo dagiti annakyo a babbai. Bay-anyo nga aganakda iti lallaki ken babbai ken umadokayo sadiay a saan ket a bumassit ti bilangyo.
7 And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace.
Ti pagsayaatan ti siudad a nangipanak kadakayo a kas balud ti aramidenyo, ken agkararagkayo kaniak para iti daytoy agsipud ta addanto kappia kadakayo no natalna daytoy.'
8 For thus saith the Lord of hoses the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you: and give no heed to your dreams which you dream:
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Saanyo nga itulok nga allilawendakayo dagiti profeta nga adda kadakayo ken dagiti mammoyonyo ken saankayo a mamati kadagiti matagtagainepyo.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
Ta inaallilaw ti ipadpadtoda kadakayo iti naganko. Saanko ida nga imbaon—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'
10 For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good word in your favour, to bring you again to this place.
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Inton inturayannakayon ti Babilonia iti pitopulo a tawen, tulongankayo ken ipatungpalko ti nasayaat nga imbagak nga isublikayo iti daytoy a lugar.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience.
Ta ammok a mismo dagiti planok para kadakayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—dagiti plano para iti kappia a saan ket a didigra, nga ikkankayo iti nasayaat a masakbayan ken namnama.
12 And you shall call upon me, and you shall go: and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you.
Ket umawagkayonto kaniak, ken agkararagkayto kaniak ket denggenkayto.
13 You shall seek me, and shall And me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.
Ta birokendakto ket masarakandakto, agsipud ta binirokdak iti amin a pusoyo.
14 And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Ket masarakandakto—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ket isublik ti sigud a nasayaat a kasasaadyo; ummongenkayto manipud kadagiti amin a nasion ken luglugar a nangiwarawaraak kadakayo—ta isublikayto iti lugar a naggapuanyo manipud iti lugar nga intulokko a pakaipananyo a kas balud.'
15 Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:
Agsipud ta kinunayo a nangisaad ni Yahweh kadagiti profeta para kadakami idiay Babilonia,
16 For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh iti ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David ken kadagiti amin a tattao nga agigian pay laeng iti dayta a siudad, dagiti kakabsatyo a saan a nairaman kadakayo a naipanaw a kas balud—
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Kitaenyo, umadanin ti panangiyegko kadakuada iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin ken saksakit. Ta pagbalinekto ida a kasla nalungsot nga igos a saan a mabalin a kanen.
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and pith the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out:
Ket kamatekto ida babaen iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin ken angol ket pagbalinek ida a makapakintayeg iti panagkita dagiti amin a nasion iti rabaw ti daga— maysa a nakabutbuteng, usarendanto ti nagan dagitoy no adda ilunodda, ken maysa a nakababain a banag kadagiti nasion a nangiwarawaraak kadakuada.
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord: which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord.
Daytoy ket gapu ta saanda a dimngeg iti saok— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— nga impakaammok kadakuada babaen kadagiti adipenko a profeta. Namin-adu nga imbaonko ida, ngem saankayo a dimngeg— kastoy ti pakaamo ni Yahweh.'
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Isu a dakayo a mismo, dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh, aminkayo a naipanaw a kas balud manipud Jerusalem a naipan idiay Babilonia,
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your eyes.
'Kastoy ti ibagak, siak a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel maipanggep kenni Ahab a putot ni Kolaiah ken ni Zedekias a putot ni Maaseias, a siuulbod a nagipadto kadakayo babaen iti naganko: Kitaenyo, umadanin ti panangiyawatko kadakuada iti ima ni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia. Patayennanto ida iti sangoananyo.
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire:
Ket addanto lunod nga ibaga dagiti amin a naipanaw iti Juda a kas balud idiay Babilonia maipanggep kadagitoy a tattao. Kastoyto ti lunod nga ibagada: Aramidento koma ni Yahweh kadakayo ti kas iti napasamak kenni Zedekias ken Ahab, a pinuoran ti ari ti Babilonia.
23 Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness, saith the Lord.
Mapasamakto daytoy gapu kadagiti nakababain a banag nga inaramidda iti Israel idi nakikamalalada kadagiti assawa dagiti kaarrubada ken nangipakaammoda kadagiti saan a pudno a mensahe babaen iti naganko, banbanag a saanko a pulos nga imbilin kadakuada nga ibagada. Ta siak ti makaammo; siak ti saksi— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'”
24 And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:
“Maipanggep kenni Semaias a taga-Nehelam, kastoy ti naibaga:
25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Gapu ta nangipatulodka kadagiti surat kadagiti amin a tattao iti Jerusalem iti bukodmo a nagan, kenni Zefanias a putot ni Maaseias a padi, ken kadagiti amin a papadi, a kinunam,
26 The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.
'Pinagbalinnaka ni Yahweh a padi imbes a ni Jehoiada a padi, tapno sika ti makaammo iti pagsayaatan ti balay ni Yahweh. Sika ti makaammo kadagiti amin a tattao nga aginlalaing ken mamagbalin kadagiti bagbagida a profeta. Rumbeng nga ibalud ken kawaram ida.
27 And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?
Isu nga ita, apay a saanmo a binabalaw ni Jeremias iti Anatot, a pinagbalinna a profeta ti bagina a maibusor kenka?
28 For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
Ta nangipatulod isuna iti mensahe kadakami idiay Babilonia a kunana, 'Nabayagto daytoy a tiempo. Mangipatakderkayo kadagiti balbalay ket pagnaedanyo dagitoy, ken agmulakayo ket kanenyo dagiti ibunga dagitoy.''”
29 So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremias the prophet.
Binasa ni Zephaniah a padi daytoy a surat kenni Jeremias a profeta.
30 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Isu nga immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias a kunana,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie:
“Mangipatulodka iti mensahe kadagiti naipanaw a kas balud, ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Shemaias a taga-Nehelam: Gapu ta nagipadto ni Shemaias kadakayo nga uray saanko nga imbaon isuna; gapu ta inallukoynakayo a mamati iti inuulbod,
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord.
kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh: Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangdusak kenni Shemaias a taga-Nehelam ken kadagiti kaputotanna. Awanto ti agtalinaed a kaputotanna. Saannanto a makita ti nasayaat nga aramidekto kadagiti tattaok— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta inwaragawagna ti panagsukir maibusor kaniak, siak a ni Yahweh.'”
