Jeremiah 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message when King Zedekiah [of Judah] sent [a man who was also named] Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, and a priest named Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, [to talk to me. They pleaded with me], 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 “[The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Please speak to Yahweh for us. [Ask him if he will help us]. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar’s [army] to leave by performing a miracle for us, like the miracles he performed [previously].”
“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 I replied to them, “[Go back to King] Zedekiah. Tell him,
Isu a kinuna ni Jeremias kadakuada, “Kastoy ti masapul nga ibagayo kenni Sedekias,
4 ‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will cause your weapons to be useless in fighting against the king of Babylon and his army that is outside the walls of Jerusalem, attacking. I will enable them to enter into the center 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 I myself will fight against your [army] with my very great power, [MTY, DOU] because I am very angry with you.
Ket siak a mismo ti makiranget kadakayo babaen iti pannakabalin ken kinapigsak ken babaen iti nakaro unay a pungtotko.
6 I will send a very (terrible plague/big sickness) on the people of this city, and on their domestic animals, and [many of] them will die.”
Ta rautekto dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a siudad, tao man wenno ayup. Mataydanto babaen iti nakaru a pannakadidigra.
7 And Yahweh says there are many people in this city who want to kill you. So, he will enable [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and other people in this city to capture [you], King Zedekiah, and your officials, and [all the other] people who do not die from the plague. His army will slaughter your soldiers; they will not act mercifully toward you(pl) or pity you at all. [DOU]’
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 tell this to [all] the people: ‘Yahweh says that you must decide whether you want to die or to remain alive.
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 Everyone who remains in Jerusalem will die. They will be killed in battles or die from being hungry or from diseases. But those who surrender to the army of Babylon that is surrounding your city will remain alive. They will escape dying.
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 [That will happen] because I, Yahweh, have decided to cause this city to experience disasters, not to experience something good. The army of the king of Babylon will capture this city and will destroy it [completely] by 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 [Yahweh also told me to] say this to the family of the king of Judah: “Listen to this message from Yahweh!
No maipapan iti balay ti ari ti Juda, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh.
12 This is what he says to you descendants of King David: ‘Every day, make fair decisions for the people whom you judge. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue/Save them from those [SYN] who (oppress them/treat them cruelly). If you do not do that, I will be angry and punish [MTY] you with a fire that will be impossible to extinguish, because of [all] the sins that you have committed.
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 I will fight against you people [of Jerusalem], you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley. [I will fight against] you people who boast, saying, “No one can attack us and break through [our defenses].”
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 I will punish you for your wicked deeds like you deserve to be punished; [It will be as though] I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you!’”
Naikeddengkon a sagrapenyo ti bunga dagiti ar-aramidyo- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-mangpasgedakto kadagiti kasamekan, ket puorannanto ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawna.
