Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a kunana,
2 Arise and go down to the house of the potter, —and, there, will I cause thee to hear my words.
“Tumakderka ket mapanka iti balay ti agdamdamili, ta ipakaammok kenka sadiay ti mensahek”
3 So I went down, to the house of the potter, —and there he was! making a piece of work on the wheels,
Isu a napanak iti balay ti agdamdamili, ket nakitak! Madama nga agtrabtrabaho ti agdamdamili iti pagdamilian.
4 Then was marred, the vessel that he was making, while yet it was clay in the hand of the potter, —so he turned and made of it another vessel, as seemed right in the eyes of the potter to make it.
Ngem ti banga a suksukogenna ket nadadael iti imana, isu a binaliwanna daytoy ket nangaramid iti sabali a banag a napintas iti panagkitana.
5 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
6 Like this potter, can I not deal with you O house of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Lo! as clay in the hand of the potter, So, are, ye, in my hand O house of Israel.
“Saanko aya a kabaelan nga aramiden kadakayo balay ti Israel ti kas iti inaramid ti agdamdamili? -kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Kitaenyo! kas iti pila nga adda iti ima ti agdamdamili- kasta ti kaaddayo iti imak, balay ti Israel.
7 The moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, —to pull up and to break down, and to destroy;
Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalinko nga ipakaammo ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian a parutek daytoy, burakek wenno dadaelek daytoy.
8 and that nation return from its wickedness against whom I have spoken, then will I repent concerning the calamity which I had devised to bring upon it.
Ngem no ti nasion a nangiballaagak ket tumallikud iti kinadakesna, saanko ngarud nga ituloy ti didigra a pangpanggepek nga iyeg iti daytoy.
9 And, the moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, —to build and to plant;
Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalin nga ibagak ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian, a bangonek daytoy wenno ipatakderko daytoy.
10 and it commit wickedness in mine eyes, in not hearkening unto my voice, then will I repent concerning the good wherewith I had said I would do it good.
Ngem no mangaramid daytoy iti dakes iti imatangko, a saanna dengngen ti timekko, isardengkonto ngarud ti nasayaat nga imbagak nga aramidek para kadakuada.
11 Now, therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the men of Judah and concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! I am fashioning against you calamity, and devising against you, a device, —Return I pray you every man from his wicked way, And amend your ways and your doings.
Isu nga ita, agsaoka kadagiti lallaki iti Juda ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo, Umadanin ti panangparnuayko iti didigra kadakayo. Umadanin ti panangaramidko iti maysa a panggep a maibusor kadakayo. Tunggal tao ket agbabawi iti dinadangkes nga ar-aramidenna, tapno dagiti wagasyo ken dagiti aramidyo ket mangiyeg iti nasayaat kadakayo,
12 And, since they will say, Hopeless! For after our own devices, will we walk, And, every one, the stubbornness of his own wicked heart, will we do!
Ngem ibagadanto, 'Awan serserbina daytoy. Agtignaykami segun kadagiti bukodmi a panggep. Aramidento ti tunggal maysa kadakami ti kinadakesna, dagiti tarigagay ti nasukir a pusona.'
13 Therefore, Thus saith Yahweh, Ask I pray you among the nations, —Who hath heard such things as these? A very horrible thing, hath, the virgin, Israel done!
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saludsodem kadagiti nasion, siasino ti nakangngeg iti kasta a banag a kas iti daytoy? Nakaaramid ti birhen nga Israel iti nakaal-alinggaget a tignay.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon, fail from the rock of the field? Or shall waters from afar, deep, overflowing, be dried up?
Maawanan kadi iti niebe dagiti kabatbatoan a turod kadagiti away iti Lebanon? Matianan kadi dagiti waig iti bantay nga agayus manipud iti adayo?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me, Unto vanity, have they been burning incense; And it hath caused them to stumble In their ways The roads of age-past times, To walk in by-paths—A way not cast up.
Ngem linipatdak dagiti tattaok. Nagidatonda kadagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ken naitibkulda kadagiti dalanda; pinanawanda dagiti nagkauna a dalan tapno magnada kadagiti basbassit a dalan.
16 To make their land a desolation The hissings of age-abiding times, —Every one that passeth by her, shall be astonished and wag his head.
Agbalinto a nakabutbuteng ti dagada, maysa a banag nga agnanayon a pagsakuntipan. Amin a lumabas iti dagada ket agkintayeg ken agwingiwing.
17 Like an east wind, will I scatter them before the enemy, —The back and not the face, will I let them see in the day of their distress.
Waraekto ida iti sangoanan dagiti kabusorda a kasla tapok nga intayab ti angin a naggapu iti daya. Tallikudakto ida ken saanak a sumango iti aldaw ti didigrada.'”
18 Then said they, —Come ye and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For the law shall not perish from the priest, Nor, counsel, from the wise, Nor, the word from the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear to any of his words!
Isu a kinuna dagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, planwentayo ti dakes nga aramidentayo kenni Jeremias, agsipud ta saan a pulos a mapukaw ti linteg kadagiti padi, wenno balakad manipud kadagiti mamasirib a lallaki, wenno sasao manipud kadagiti profeta. Umaykayo, rautentayo isuna babaen kadagiti sasaotayo ket saantayon nga ipangag ti aniaman nga ibagbagana.
19 Give thou ear O Yahweh unto me, —And hearken unto the voice of mine accusers.
Ipangagnak, O Yahweh! Ket denggem ti ariwawa dagiti kabusorko.
20 Shall, evil, be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my life, —Remember how I stood before thee To speak in their behalf what was good! To turn back thine indignation from them.
Didigra kadi ti gungunak iti kinaimbagko kadakuada? Ta nangkalida iti abut a para kaniak. Lagipem ti panagtakderko iti sangoanam tapno agsaoak para iti pagsayaatanda, tapno bumaaw ti pungtotmo kadakuada.
21 Therefore, give thou up their sons to the famine And deliver them into the hands of the sword, And let their, wives, become, childless and widows, And let, their men, be slain by death, Their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
Iyawatmo ngarud dagiti annakda iti panagbisin, ken itedmo ida iti pannakabalin ti kampilan. Ipalubosmo koma a maulila ken mabalo dagiti assawada a babbai, ken mapapatay dagiti lallaki nga adda kadakuada, ken mapapatay dagiti agtutuboda a lallaki babaen iti kampilan iti gubat.
22 Let there be heard a cry out of their houses, When thou shalt bring in upon them a troop, suddenly, —Because they digged a pit to capture me, And snares, did they hide for my feet.
Mangngeg koma ti panagasug iti panagtuok manipud kadagiti babbalayda, bayat ti kellaat a panangiyegmo kadagiti mangraut kadakuada. Ta nagkalida iti maysa nga abut tapno tiliwendak ken nangipakatda kadagiti silo para kadagiti sakak.
23 But, thou, O Yahweh, knowest all their counsels against me to put me to death, Put thou no propitiatory-covering over their iniquity, And their sin from before thee, do not thou blot out, —But let them be overthrown before thee, In the time of thine anger, deal thou effectively with them.
Ngem Sika, O Yahweh, ammom amin dagiti panggepda a mangpapatay kaniak. Saanmo a pakawanen ti nakaro a kinadakesda ken dagiti basolda. Saanmo a punasen dagiti basolda kenka. Ngem ketdi, bay-am ida a maparmek iti sangoanam. Agtignayka a maibusor kadakuada iti tiempo ti pungtotmo.
