< Jeremiah 21 >

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur, son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying:
Kastoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh idi imbaon ni ari Zedekias da Pasur a putot ni Malakias ken Sofonias a putot ni Maasias a padi. Kinunada kenkuana,
2 Enquire for us I pray thee of Yahweh, in that, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, maketh war against us, —Peradventure Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wonders, so that he go up from us.
“Agpabalakadka kenni Yahweh para kadakami, gapu ta gubatennatayo ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia. Nalabit a mangaramid ni Yahweh iti milagro para kadakami, kas iti naglabas a tiempo, ket pagsanudenna ni Nebucadnezar kadakami.”
3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, —Thus, shall ye say unto Zedekiah:
Isu a kinuna ni Jeremias kadakuada, “Kastoy ti masapul nga ibagayo kenni Sedekias,
4 Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—Behold me! turning back the weapons of war that are in your hand, wherewith, ye, are fighting the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, who are besieging you outside the wall, —and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangisublik kadagiti armas nga adda kadagiti imayo a panggubgubatyo iti ari ti Babilonia ken kadagiti Caldeo a manglaklakub kadakayo iti ruar dagiti pader! Ta ummongekto ida iti tengnga daytoy a siudad.
5 And I myself, will fight against you, with a hand outstretched, and with an arm of strength, —and with anger and with wrath and with great indignation;
Ket siak a mismo ti makiranget kadakayo babaen iti pannakabalin ken kinapigsak ken babaen iti nakaro unay a pungtotko.
6 and I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast, —of a great pestilence, shall they die.
Ta rautekto dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a siudad, tao man wenno ayup. Mataydanto babaen iti nakaru a pannakadidigra.
7 And after that, Declareth Yahweh—Will I deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants, and the people—even such as are left in this city from the pestilence from the sword and from the famine, —into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, even into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —and he will smite them with the edge of the sword, he will not have pity on them nor will he spare nor will he have compassion.
Kalpasan daytoy-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- ni Sedekias nga ari ti Juda, dagiti adipenna, dagiti tattao, ken siasinoman a nabati iti daytoy a siudad kalpasan ti didigra babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin-Iyawatkonto amin dagitoy iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia, kadagiti kabusorda, ken kadagiti mangpapatay kadakuada. Ket papatayennanto ida babaen iti kampilan. Saannanto ida a kaasian wenno kailalaan.
8 And unto this people, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! setting before you the way, of life, and the way of death:
Ket kastoy ti masapul nga ibagam kadagitoy a tattao, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adtoy, umadanin nga ikabilko iti sangoananyo ti dalan ti biag ken ti dalan ti patay.
9 He that remaineth in this city, shall die—by the sword or by the famine or by the pestilence, —Whereas, he that goeth forth and falleth unto the Chaldeans, who are besieging you, —then shall he live, and, his life, shall become to him, a spoil;
Siasinoman nga agtaltalinaed iti daytoy a siudad ket matayto babaen iti kampilan, bisin ken didigra; ngem siasinoman a rumuar ken agparintumeng iti sangoanan dagiti Caldeo a nanglakub kadakayo ket agbiag. Maisalbarnanto ti biagna.
10 For I have set my face against this city, for calamity and not for blessing, Declareth Yahweh, —Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shall it be given up, and he will burn it with fire.
Ta inkeddengkon ti mangiyeg iti didigra iti daytoy a siudad, a saan ket a mangiyeg iti pagsayaatan-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Naiyawaten daytoy iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia, ket puorannanto daytoy.'
11 Now, as to the house of the king of Judah, —hear ye the word of Yahweh: —
No maipapan iti balay ti ari ti Juda, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh.
12 O house of David! Thus, saith Yahweh, Administer justice betimes, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, —Lest mine indignation come forth like fire And burn and there be none to quench it, Because of the wickedness of your doings:
O balay ni David, kuna ni Yahweh, 'Ipatungpalyo ti hustisia iti agsapa. Ispalenyo ti tao a natakawan babaen iti ima ti manangidadanes, ta no saan gumil-ayabto a kasla apuy ti pungtotko ket pumuor. Ta awan ti makaiddep iti daytoy gapu iti kinadakes dagiti ar-aramidenyo.
13 Behold me! against thee, O thou dweller in the vale on the level rock, Declareth Yahweh, —Ye who are saying, Who shall come down upon us? Who shall enter our habitations?
Kitaenyo, dakayo nga agnanaed iti tanap! Kabusorkayo, dakkel a bato iti patad-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-Kabusorko ti siasinoman a mangibagbaga, “Siasino ngay koma ti sumalog a mangraut kadatayo?” wenno “Siasino ngay koma ti sumrek kadagiti babbalaytayo?”
14 Yet will I bring punishment upon you according to the fruit of your doings, Declareth Yahweh, —and will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Naikeddengkon a sagrapenyo ti bunga dagiti ar-aramidyo- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-mangpasgedakto kadagiti kasamekan, ket puorannanto ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawna.
