Jeremiah 14
1 This is a message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah regarding the drought:
Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias maipapan iti tikag.
2 Judah is in mourning; her towns are wasting away. Her people are weeping for the land, and a cry for help comes from Jerusalem.
“Agladingit koma ti Juda; Madadael koma dagiti ruanganna. Agan-anug-ogda gapu iti daga; Agpangpangato dagiti ararawda para iti Jerusalem.
3 Rich people send their servants to get water. They go to the cisterns, but don't find any water. They return with empty jars, disappointed and ashamed, covering their heads.
Ibaon dagiti nababaknang dagiti adipenda nga agsakdo. No kasta a mapanda kadagiti pagsakdoan; awan ti masarakanda a danum. Agsublida amin a saan a naballigi; abbonganda dagiti uloda gapu iti pannakaibabain.
4 The ground has dried up because there hasn't been any rain in the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
Gapu iti daytoy, nagrengngat ti daga, ta awan ti tudo iti daga. Maibabain dagiti umaarado a lallaki ket abbonganda dagiti uloda.
5 Even the deer abandons her newborn fawn because there's no grass.
Ta uray ti kabaian nga ugsa ket ibatina dagiti annakna kadagiti tay-ak ket baybay-annan dagitoy, ta awanen iti ruot.
6 Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills, panting like jackals. Their eyesight fails because they have nothing to eat.
Agtakder dagiti atap nga asno kadagiti kapatadan nga awan pulos mulana ket agal-al dagitoy a kas kadagiti atap nga aso. Kumudrep dagiti matada, ta awan pulos iti mula.”
7 Even though our sins give evidence against us, Lord, please do something for us because of your good nature. Yes, we have rebelled against you so often; we have sinned against you.
O Yahweh, uray no agsaksi dagiti basolmi maibusor kadakami, agtignayka para iti pagsayaatan ti naganmo. Ta umad-adu dagiti awan serserbina nga aramidmi, nagbasolkami kenka.
8 You are the hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble. Why do you act like a foreigner in our country, like a traveler who only stays a night?
Namnama ti Israel, a mangisalsalakan kenkuana iti tiempo ti panagrigrigat, apay a kaslaka ganggannaet iti daga, kasla maysa a ganggannaet nga agdaldaliasat nga agunnat ken aginana laeng iti maysa a rabii?
9 Why do you act like someone caught unawares, like a powerful warrior who can't help? You are here among us, Lord, and we are known as your people. Please don't give up on us!
Apay nga agbalinka a kasla maysa a mariribukan a tao, a kas iti mannakigubat nga awan naispalna? Ta addaka iti tengngami, O Yahweh! Naipakaammon ti naganmo kadakami. Saannakami a panawan.
10 This is what the Lord says about his people: They really love to wander away from me—they don't even try to stop themselves. So the Lord refuses to accept them. Now he'll remember their guilty actions and punish them for their sins.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kadagitoy a tattao, “Agsipud ta kayatda ti umadayo, saanda a magawidan dagiti sakada iti panangaramid iti daytoy.” Saan a maay-ayo ni Yahweh kadakuada. Ita, linagipna dagiti basolda ket dinusana dagiti basolda.
11 The Lord told me, Don't pray for the welfare of this people.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Saanmo nga ikararagan dagitoy a tattao para iti pagimbaganda.
12 Even if they fast, I won't listen to their cry. Even though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won't accept them. On the contrary I will wipe them out by sword and famine and plague.
Ta no agayunarda, saankonto a denggen dagiti anug-ogda ket no mangidatagda kadagiti daton a maipuor ken kadagiti daton a makan, saanakto a maay-ayo kadakuada. Ta gibusakto ida babaen iti kampilan, panagbisin, ken didigra.”
13 “Oh Lord God!” I answered, “Look what prophets are telling them, claiming to be speaking for you: ‘You won't see war or suffer from famine, but I will give you peace that lasts here in this place.’”
Ket kinunak, “O Yahweh nga Apo! Kitaem! Ibagbaga dagiti profeta kadagiti tattao, 'Saankayonto a makakita iti kampilan; awanto ti panagbisin a sagabaenyo, ta ikkankayonto iti pudno a talged iti daytoy a lugar.'”
14 The prophets are prophesying lies in my name, replied the Lord. I didn't send them or choose them or speak to them. It's a lying vision, an empty prediction, a deluded, deceitful product of their own minds that they are prophesying to you.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Agipadpadto dagiti profeta iti inuulbod iti naganko. Saanko ida nga imbaon, wenno binilin, wenno nakisarita kadakuada. Ngem dagiti inuulbod a sirmata ken awan serserbina ken inuulbod a panagpadpadles a nagtaud kadagiti bukodda a puso- dagitoy dagiti ipadpadtoda kadakayo.”
15 So this is what the Lord says about such prophets who prophesy in my name: I didn't send them, but even so they say, “This country won't suffer war or famine.” These same prophets will die from war or famine!
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Maipapan kadagiti profeta a mangipadpadto babaen iti naganko ngem saanko nga imbaon- dagiti mangibagbaga nga awanto iti kampilan wenno panagbisin iti daytoy a daga: Mapukawto dagitoy a profeta babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin.
16 The bodies of the people they prophesied to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and war. There won't be anyone to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil on them.
Ket maiwalangto dagiti tattao a nangipadtoanda kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem gapu iti bisin ken kampilan, ta awanto ti mangitabon kadakuada- isuda, dagiti assawada, dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai- ta ibukbokkonto kadakuada ti kinadangkesda.
17 This is what you are to tell them: Tears flow from my eyes without stopping day or night, because my people have been crushed by a heavy blow, a really serious wound.
Ibagam daytoy a sao kadakuada: “Agayus koma dagiti lulua kadagiti matak, iti rabii ken aldaw. Saan koma nga agsardeng dagitoy, ta addanto iti nakaro a pannakadadael ti birhen nga anak dagiti tattaok- nakaro ken saan a maagasan a sugat.
18 If I go out to the countryside, I see those killed by the sword; if I go into the city, I see those dying by famine. Both prophets and priests wander around the country—they don't know what they're doing.
No mapanak kadagiti kataltalonan ket makitak! Adda sadiay dagiti napapatay babaen iti kampilan. Ket no mapanak iti siudad, ket, kumitaak! Adda sadiay dagiti natay gapu iti bisin. Uray dagiti profeta ken dagiti padi ket saanda nga ammo ti ar-aramidenda.'”
19 Have you really rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion so much? Why have you wounded us so badly that we can't be healed? We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.
Naan-anay kadin ti panangilaksidmo iti Juda? Kaguram kadi ti Sion? Apay a dunorennakami no saankami gayam a mapaimbag? Ninamnamami nga adda kappia, ngem awan iti nasayaat- ken iti tiempo ti pannakapaimbag, ngem kitaem, panagbuteng laeng ti adda.
20 Lord, we admit our wickedness, the guilt of our forefathers as well as our own sins against you.
O Yahweh, aklunenmi dagiti biddutmi, ti basol dagiti kapuonanmi, ta nagbasolkami kenka.
21 Because of your own reputation please don't hate us; don't bring dishonor on your glorious throne. Please remember your agreement with us; don't break it.
Saannakami a laksiden! Ipagapum koma iti naganmo, saanmo koma a pagbalinen a nakababain ti nadayag a tronom. Laglagipem koma ken saanmo a dadaelen ti katulagam kadakami.
22 Can the false gods of the other nations bring rain? Can the skies themselves send showers? No, it's you, Lord our God. So we put our hope in you, because only you can do all this.
Adda kadi kadagiti didiosen dagiti nasion ti siasinoman a makaiyeg iti tudo iti tiempona? Saan kadi a Sika, Yahweh a Diosmi, ti mangar-aramid iti daytoy? Mangnamnamakami kenka, gapu ta inaramidmo amin dagitoy a banbanag.
