< Jeremiah 14 >

1 After there had been no rain [in Judah] for a long time, Yahweh gave me this message:
Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias maipapan iti tikag.
2 [The people in] Judah are very distressed; people [are sitting] on the ground and mourning; [in all of] Jerusalem people are crying loudly.
“Agladingit koma ti Juda; Madadael koma dagiti ruanganna. Agan-anug-ogda gapu iti daga; Agpangpangato dagiti ararawda para iti Jerusalem.
3 The rich people send their servants to [wells] to get water, but [all] the wells are dry. The servants return with empty pitchers; they cover their heads [because they are ashamed and humiliated/disappointed and sad].
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 is extremely dry and cracked open because there has been no rain. The farmers are very worried, [so] they [also] 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 (does/female deer) abandon their newborn babies/fawns because there is no grass in the fields [for them to eat].
Ta uray ti kabaian nga ugsa ket ibatina dagiti annakna kadagiti tay-ak ket baybay-annan dagitoy, ta awanen iti ruot.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the barren hills, panting like [SIM] [thirsty] jackals/wolves. They become blind because there is no grass [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 [The people say], “Yahweh, we have turned away from you and sinned many times, and now we know that we are being punished because of our sins, but please help us in order that everyone can see that you are very great [MTY].
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 one whom [we] Israelis confidently expect [to do good things for us] when we have [many] troubles/difficulties. So, why do you [not help us]? You act as though you are a stranger in our land, like you are someone who is staying here for only one 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 Are you also surprised [about the terrible things that are happening to us]? Why do you act like you are unable to save anyone, even though you are a strong warrior? Yahweh, you are [here] among us, and [others know that] we are your people, [so] do not abandon 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 And this is what Yahweh says to those people: “You love to wander away [from me]; you run [MTY] from one [idol] to another. Therefore, now I will no [longer] accept you, and I will punish you for your 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 [Then] Yahweh said to me, “Do not pray for these people [any more].
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Saanmo nga ikararagan dagitoy a tattao para iti pagimbaganda.
12 When they (fast/abstain from food in order to honor me), I will not pay any attention. When they bring [to me] their offerings [of animals] to be completely burned [on the altar] and their offerings of grain, I will not accept them. Instead, I will get rid of them by wars, by famines, and by diseases.”
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 Then I replied to him, “Yahweh [my] God, [their] prophets are telling the people that they will not experience wars [MTY] or famines. They are telling the people that you will surely allow us to have peace in our land [for many years].”
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 Yahweh replied to me, “Those prophets say that they are speaking what I tell them to say [MTY], but they are telling lies. I did not send them, [so] what they are saying is false. They say that they have received visions from me, and that they are telling things that I have revealed to them, but that is not true. They are saying foolish things that they have only thought of themselves.
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 I say about those prophets who are predicting what will happen, saying that I told them those things: They are saying that we Israelis will not die from wars or famines, but I did not send those prophets. And they themselves will die from wars or from famines.
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 And the people to whom they are predicting these things, they and their wives and their sons and their daughters, will [also die] from wars or from famines. [Their corpses will] be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem, and there will not be anyone to bury them. I will punish them like they deserve to be punished.
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 [So, Jeremiah], tell this to them [about yourself]: ‘Day and night my eyes are full of tears. I cannot stop crying. I cry for my people, who are [very precious to me, as if they were] [MET] my daughters. I cry for them because they have been severely wounded; they have been severely crushed [DOU].
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 into the fields, I see [corpses of] people who have been slaughtered by our enemies. If I walk along the streets of the city, I see [corpses of people who died] from hunger. The prophets and the priests travel through the land, preaching to people, but they do not know [what they are doing] (OR, [in a land] that they know nothing about).’”
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 [Then I prayed this]: “[Yahweh], have you completely rejected [the people of] Judah? Do you really despise [the people of] Jerusalem [MTY]? Why have you [RHQ] wounded us very badly, with the result that we will never be healed? We hoped that we would have peace, but there was no peace. We hoped that there would be a time when we would be healed, but all that we received were things that terrified us.
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 Yahweh, we admit/know that we are wicked people, and that our ancestors [also] did many wicked things. We have [all] sinned against you.
O Yahweh, aklunenmi dagiti biddutmi, ti basol dagiti kapuonanmi, ta nagbasolkami kenka.
21 But [Yahweh], in order that we may honor [MTY] you, do not despise/abandon us. Do not dishonor [the city where] [MTY] your glorious throne is. [Please] do not forget [us], and do not (break your agreement with us/stop doing what you agreed to do for us).
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 Those idols that [have been brought from] other nations certainly cannot [RHQ] bring rain [to us], and the sky certainly cannot [RHQ] cause rain to fall. Yahweh our God, you are the only one who can do things like that. So we will confidently expect you [to help us].”
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.
