< Jeremiah 6 >

1 Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a 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 likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
Ti anak a babai ti Sion, ti napintas ken makaay-ayo a balasang, ket madadaelto.
3 The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that 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 Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are 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 Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
Ngem rumauttayo iti rabii ket dadaelentayo dagiti sarikedkedna.''
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
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 As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually 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 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
Awatem ti panangiwanwan, Jerusalem, ta no saan, tallikudanka ket dadaelenka, pagbalinenka a maysa a langalang a daga.'”
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into 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 shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive 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 Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that 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 shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith 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 For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of 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 breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, 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 abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith 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 saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And 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 watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
Nangdutokak kadakayo kadagiti agbantay a mangdengngeg iti tangguyob. Ngem kinunada, ' Saankaminto nga agdengngeg.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things 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 bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away 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 To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices 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 saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish.
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 saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall 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 shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.
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 the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
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 Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear 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 Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
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 set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
”Pinagbalinka, Jeremias, a mangsubok kadagiti tattaok a kas maysa a manggugor iti landok, isu a sukimaten ken subokemto dagiti wagasda.
28 All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
Isuda amin ket kasukiran kadagiti tattao, a mangparpardaya kadagiti dadduma. Isuda amin ket gambang ken landok, nga agtigtignay a sidadangkes.
29 The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not 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 reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
Maawagandanto a naibelleng a pirak, ta imbelleng ida ni Yahweh.”
