Jeremiah 15
1 Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Bagaman si Moises at si Samuel ay tumayo sa harap ko, gayon ma'y ang pagiisip ko ay hindi sasa bayang ito: iyong itakuwil sila sa aking paningin, at iyong palabasin sila.
2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].
At mangyayari, pagka kanilang sinabi sa iyo, Saan kami magsisilabas? sasaysayin mo nga sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ang sa kamatayan, ay sa kamatayan; at ang sa tabak, ay sa tabak; at ang sa kagutom, ay sa kagutom; at ang sa pagkabihag, ay sa pagkabihag.
3 I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].
At ako'y magtatakda sa kanila ng apat na mga bagay, sabi ng Panginoon: ang tabak upang pumatay, at ang mga aso upang lumapa, at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, at ang mga hayop sa lupa, upang lumamon at lumipol.
4 Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.
At aking ipagugulo sila na paroo't parito sa gitna ng lahat na kaharian sa lupa, dahil kay Manases, na anak ni Ezechias, na hari sa Juda, dahil sa kaniyang ginawa sa Jerusalem.
5 You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).
Sapagka't sinong mahahabag sa iyo, Oh Jerusalem? o sinong tataghoy sa iyo? o sinong titigil na magtatanong ng iyong kalagayan?
6 You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.
Iyong itinakuwil ako, sabi ng Panginoon, ikaw ay umurong: kaya't iniunat ko ang aking kamay laban sa iyo, at pinatay kita; ako'y dala na ng pagsisisi.
7 At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.
At aking pinahanginan sila ng pamaypay sa mga pintuang-bayan ng lupain; aking niwalaan sila ng mga anak, aking nilipol ang aking bayan; sila'y hindi humiwalay sa kanilang mga lakad.
8 I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.
Ang kanilang mga babaing bao ay naragdagan sa akin ng higit kay sa buhangin sa mga dagat; aking dinala sa kanila laban sa ina ng mga binata ang manglilipol sa katanghaliang tapat: aking pinabagsak na bigla sa kaniya ang kahapisan at kakilabutan.
9 A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Siyang nanganak ng pito ay nanglulupaypay; siya'y nalagutan ng hininga; ang kaniyang kaarawan ay lumubog nang may araw pa; napahiya at nalito: at ang nalabi sa kanila ay ibibigay ko sa tabak sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway, sabi ng Panginoon.
10 [I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”
Sa aba ko, ina ko, na ipinanganak mo ako na lalaking sa pakikipagpunyagi at lalaking sa pakikipaglaban sa buong lupa! ako'y hindi nagpautang na may tubo, o pinautang man ako na may patubo ng mga tao; gayon ma'y sinusumpa ako ng bawa't isa sa kanila.
11 But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”
Sinabi ng Panginoon, Katotohanang palalakasin kita sa ikabubuti; katotohanang aking pamamanhikin ang kaaway sa iyo sa panahon ng kasamaan at sa panahon ng pagdadalamhati.
12 [Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.
Mababasag baga ng sinoman ang bakal, ang bakal na mula sa hilagaan, at ang tanso?
13 I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.
Ang iyong pag-aari at ang iyong kayamanan ay ibibigay ko na pinakasamsam na walang halaga, at iya'y dahil sa lahat mong kasalanan, sa lahat mo ngang hangganan.
14 I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”
At akin silang pararaanin na kasama ng iyong mga kaaway sa lupain na hindi mo nakikilala; sapagka't ang apoy ay nagniningas sa aking galit, na magniningas sa inyo.
15 [Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.
Oh Panginoon, talastas mo; iyong alalahanin ako, at dalawin mo ako, at ipanghiganti mo ako sa mga manguusig sa akin; huwag mo akong kunin sa iyong pagtitiis: talastasin mo na dahil sa iyo ay nagtiis ako ng kakutyaan.
16 Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]
Ang iyong mga salita ay nangasumpungan, at aking kinain; at ang iyong mga salita sa ganang akin ay katuwaan at kagalakan sa aking puso: sapagka't ako'y tinawag sa iyong pangalan, Oh Panginoong Dios ng mga hukbo.
17 When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].
Hindi ako nauupo sa kapisanan nila na nasasayahan, o nagagalak man; ako'y nauupong magisa dahil sa iyong kamay; sapagka't pinuno mo ako ng pagkagalit.
18 So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”
Bakit ang aking sakit ay walang hanggan, at ang aking sugat ay walang kagamutan, na hindi mapagaling? ikaw baga'y tunay na magiging parang magdarayang batis sa akin, parang tubig na nauubos?
19 Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.
Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Kung ikaw ay magbalikloob, papananauliin nga kita upang ikaw ay makatayo sa harap ko; at kung iyong ihiwalay ang may halaga sa walang halaga, ikaw ay magiging parang aking bibig: sila'y manunumbalik sa iyo, nguni't hindi ka manunumbalik sa kanila.
20 They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.
At gagawin kita sa bayang ito na tansong kuta na sanggalangan; at sila'y magsisilaban sa iyo, nguni't hindi sila magsisipanaig laban sa iyo; sapagka't ako'y sumasaiyo upang iligtas kita at upang papaging layain kita, sabi ng Panginoon.
21 [Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
At ililigtas kita sa kamay ng masama, at tutubusin kita sa kamay ng kakilakilabot.
