< Jeremiah 20 >
1 Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
Napakinggan ni Pashur, na anak ni Immer, na saserdote, na siyang pangulong pinuno sa bahay ng Panginoon, si Jeremias na nanghuhula ng mga bagay na ito.
2 [So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
Nang magkagayo'y sinaktan ni Pashur si Jeremias na propeta, at inilagay siya sa pangawan na nasa lalong mataas na pintuang-bayan ng Benjamin, na nasa bahay ng Panginoon.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
At nangyari, nang kinabukasan, na inilabas ni Pashur si Jeremias mula sa pangawan. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jeremias sa kaniya, Hindi tinawag ng Panginoon ang iyong pangalan na Pashur, kundi Magormissabib.
4 because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, gagawin kitang kakilabutan sa iyong sarili, at sa lahat mong mga kaibigan; at sila'y mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak ng kanilang mga kaaway, at mamamasdan ng iyong mga mata: at ibibigay ko ang buong Juda sa kamay ng hari sa Babilonia, at kaniyang dadalhin sila na bihag sa Babilonia, at papatayin sila ng tabak.
5 And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
Bukod dito ay ibibigay ko ang lahat na kayamanan ng bayang ito, at ang lahat na pakinabang nito, at ang lahat na mahalagang bagay nito, oo, ang lahat na kayamanan ng mga hari sa Juda ay ibibigay ko sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway; na magsisisamsam sa kanila, at magsisihuli sa kanila, at mangagdadala sa kanila sa Babilonia.
6 And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
At ikaw Pashur, at ang lahat na tumatahan sa iyong bahay ay magsisipasok sa pagkabihag; at paroroon ka sa Babilonia, at doon ka mamamatay, at doon ka malilibing, ikaw, at ang lahat mong mga kaibigan, na iyong pinanghulaan na may kasinungalingan.
7 [One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
Oh Panginoon, iyong hinikayat ako, at ako'y nahikayat; ikaw ay lalong malakas kay sa akin, at nanaig ka: ako'y nagiging katatawanan lahat ng araw, bawa't isa'y tumutuya sa akin.
8 When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
Sapagka't kung paano kadalas nagsasalita ako, humihiyaw ako; humihiyaw ako, Pangdadahas at paninira; sapagka't ang salita ng Panginoon ay naging kakutyaan sa akin, at kadustaan, lahat ng araw.
9 But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
At kung aking sabihin, Hindi ko babanggitin siya, o magsasalita ng ano pa man sa kaniyang pangalan, mayroon nga sa aking puso na wari nagaalab na apoy na nakukulong sa aking mga buto, at ako'y pagod ng pagpipigil, at hindi makapagpigil.
10 I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
Sapagka't aking narinig ang paninirang puri ng marami, kakilabutan sa lahat ng dako. Kayo'y mangagsumbong, at aming isusumbong siya, sabi ng lahat ng mga kasamasama kong kaibigan, na nagsisipaghintay ng aking pagkabagsak; marahil siya'y mahihikayat, at tayo'y mangananaig laban sa kaniya, at tayo'y mangakagaganti sa kaniya.
11 But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
Nguni't ang Panginoon ay sumasaakin na parang makapangyarihan at kakilakilabot: kaya't ang mga manguusig sa akin ay mangatitisod, at sila'y hindi mangananaig; sila'y lubhang mangapapahiya, sapagka't sila'y hindi nagsisigawang may karunungan, ng walang hanggang kapintasan na hindi malilimutan.
12 Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Nguni't, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na tumatarok ng matuwid, at nakakakita ng mga pagiisip at ng puso, ipakita mo sa akin ang iyong panghihiganti sa kanila; sapagka't sa iyo ay inihayag ko ang aking usap.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
Kayo'y magsiawit sa Panginoon, magsipuri kayo sa Panginoon; sapagka't kaniyang iniligtas ang kaluluwa ng mapagkailangan mula sa kamay ng mga manggagawa ng kasamaan.
14 But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
Sumpain ang araw na kinapanganakan sa akin: huwag pagpalain ang araw na kinapanganakan sa akin ng aking ina.
15 And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
Sumpain ang tao na nagdala ng balita sa aking ama, na nagsabi, Isang lalake ay ipinanganak sa iyo, na pinasaya siyang mainam.
16 Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
At ang lalaking yaon ay maging gaya ng mga bayang giniba ng Panginoon, at hindi pinagsisihan: at makarinig nawa siya ng daing sa umaga, at hiyawan sa katanghaliang tapat;
17 [I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
Sapagka't hindi niya pinatay ako sa bahay-bata; at sa gayo'y naging libingan ko sana ang aking ina, at ang kaniyang bahay-bata, ay naging laging dakila sana.
18 I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
Bakit nga ako'y nalabas sa bahay-bata upang makakita ng hirap at kapanglawan, upang ang aking mga araw ay manaw na may kahihiyan?
