< Jeremiah 5 >

1 [Yahweh said to the people of Jerusalem], “Go up and down every street. Search in the marketplaces to find people who do what is fair/right, who try to be faithful to me. [If you find even one person like that], I will forgive [the people of Jerusalem and not destroy] their city.
“Darasenyo a mapan kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem, kasta met nga agsukimatkayo kadagiti plasana. Ket kitaenyo ken panunotenyo daytoy: No makasarakkayo iti tao wenno siasinoman nga agtigtignay a sililinteg ken ikagkagumaanna nga agtignay a sipupudno, pakawanekto ti Jerusalem.
2 But when people there say, ‘I solemnly declare that as surely as Yahweh lives, [I will do what he says],’ they are lying.”
Uray no kunada, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon,' inuulbod ti panagsapatada.”
3 Yahweh, you are certainly [RHQ] searching for [people who tell the] truth. You struck/punished your people, but they did not pay any attention. You crushed them, but they ignored what you were telling them to do. They were extremely stubborn [IDM] and refused to return to you.
O Yahweh, saan kadi a kinapudno ti sapsapulen dagiti matam? Dinangram dagiti tattao, ngem saanda a makarikna iti ut-ot. Pinarmekmo ida a naan-anay, ngem agkedkedda latta nga umawat iti panangiwanwan. Pagbalbalinenda a natangtangken pay ngem bato dagiti rupada, ta saanda a kayat nga agbabawi.
4 I thought, “[We cannot expect] these [people to act righteously, because they] are poor; they do not have any sense. They do not know the way Yahweh wants them to conduct their lives; they do not know what God requires them to do.
Isu a kinunak, “Awan duadua a napanglaw laeng dagitoy a tattao. Maagda, ta saanda nga ammo dagiti wagas ni Yahweh, uray pay dagiti paglintegan ti Diosda.
5 So, I will go and talk to their leaders, because they [surely] know how God wants them to conduct their lives.” But they also have stopped obeying Yahweh [MET], and they will not allow him to lead them.
Mapanakto kadagiti mabigbigbig a tattao ket ipakaamok kadakuada dagiti mensahe ti Dios, ta uray kaskasano, ammoda ti wagas ni Yahweh, dagiti paglintegan ti Diosda. Ngem aminda, tinukkolda a sangsangkamaysa ti sangolda; pinugsatda amin dagiti kawar a nangisinggalut kadakuada iti Dios.
6 Because of that, lions will come out of the forests and kill them; wolves from the desert will attack them; leopards that lurk/wait outside their cities will maul anyone who walks outside the cities. [Those things will happen] because the people have sinned very much against God and have turned away from him very frequently.
Isu a rautento ida ti leon nga aggapu iti kasamekan. Dadaelento ida iti atap nga aso nga aggapu idiay Araba. Umayto ti leopardo a maibusor kadagiti siudadda. Marangrangkayto ti siasinoman a rummuar iti siudadna. Ta kumarkarkaro ti panagsalungasingda. Awan panagpatingga ti panangtallikudda iti Dios.
7 Yahweh says, “I cannot [RHQ] forgive these people; [even] their children have abandoned me. When they solemnly declare something, they ask their gods [to show that what they say is true]. I gave my people everything that they needed, but they often went to [the shrines of their idols] and committed adultery there.
Apay koma a pakawanek dagitoy a tattao? Tinallikudandak dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken nagsapatada iti nagan dagiti saan a dios. Binussogko ida, ngem nakikamalalada ket napanda iti balay dagiti balangkantis.
8 [Just like] [MET] well-fed male horses neigh, wanting sex with female horses, each of the men desires to have sex with his neighbor’s wife.
Kaslada la kadagiti kabalio a makataktakba. Aggarraigida gapu iti tarigagayda a tumakba. Tarigagayan ti tunggal lalaki ti asawa ti kaarrubana.
9 (Should I not punish them for this [RHQ]?/I will certainly get revenge on this nation for this!) I will certainly get revenge [RHQ] on this nation whose people behave like that!
Isu a saan kadi a rumbeng laeng a dusaek ida- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saan kadi a rumbeng laeng nga agibalesak iti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
10 [I will say to your enemies], ‘The people [of Judah and Israel are like a vineyard]. Go along the rows in their vineyards and get rid of [most of] the people, but do not kill all of them. These people do not belong to me, [so get rid of them], [like a gardener] [MET] lops/cuts off branches from a vine.
Sumang-atkayo kadagiti natukad-tukad a kaubasanna ket dadaelenyo dagitoy. Ngem saanyo a dadaelen a maminpinsan dagitoy. Putdenyo dagiti sangada, agsipud ta dagitoy a sanga ket saan a nagtaud kenni Yahweh.
11 The people of Israel and Judah have turned away from me completely.’
Ta liniputandak a naminpinsan dagiti balay ti Israel ken Juda- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-
12 They have lied about me and said, ‘He will not punish us! He will not cause us to experience disasters! We will not experience wars or famines!
ken inlaksiddak. Kunada, 'Saan a pudno isuna. Awanto ti dakes a mapagtengtayo, ken saantayonto a makakita iti kampilan wenno agsagaba iti panagbisin.
13 What [God’s] prophets say is nothing but hot air! They do not have messages [from God]! We would like [the disasters that they predict] to happen to them!’”
Ta awanen iti serserbi dagiti profeta, maiyarigdan iti angin, ken awan a pulos ti mangipakpakaammo kadatayo iti mensahe ni Yahweh. Sagabaenda ngarud dagiti pangtada.”'
14 So, this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, has said to me: “Because my people are saying those things, I will give you a message to tell them [MTY] that will be [like] [MET] a fire, and [these people will be like] [MET] wood that the fire will burn up.
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Manakabalin-amin, “Gapu ta imbagam daytoy, denggem, ngannganikon nga ikabil ti saok dita ngiwatmo. Kaslanto apuy daytoy, ket kaslanto kayo dagitoy a tattao! Ta uramennanto ida.
15 Listen to this, you people of Israel: I will bring [the army of] a distant nation to attack you. It is a very powerful nation that has existed for a long time. They speak a language that you do not know and which you will not be able to understand.
Kitaem, umadanin ti panangiyegko iti maysa a nasion a maibusor kadakayo manipud iti adayo, balay ti Israel- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- nabileg daytoy a nasion, nasion nga addan idi un-unana! Daytoy ket nasion a saanyo nga ammo ti pagsasaoda, wenno maawatan dagiti ibagada.
16 Their soldiers are all very strong, and the arrows from their quivers [MET] will (send many Israeli men to their graves/cause many Israeli people to die).
Kasla silulukat a tanem ti pana daytoy. Soldadoda amin.
17 They will eat the food that you have harvested from your fields, and eat your bread. They will kill your sons and daughters, and they will kill your flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle]. They will eat your grapes and your figs. They will [also] destroy your cities that have high walls around them and kill the people with their swords.
Isu a maibusto dagiti apityo, kasta met dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai, ken taraonyo. Kanendanto dagiti arban iti karnero ken bakbakayo; kanendanto dagiti bunga ti ubasyo ken dagiti kayo ti igos. Rebbaendanto babaen iti kampilan dagiti nasarikedkedan a siudadyo nga isu a pagtaltalkanyo.
18 But even when those things happen, I will not get rid of all of you.
Ngem uray kadagidiay nga al-aldaw- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saanko a panggep a dadaelenkayo a naan-anay.
19 And when the survivors ask, ‘Why is Yahweh our God doing this to us?’ you will tell them, ‘You rejected him and worshiped foreign gods in your [own] land, so [now] you will become slaves of foreigners in a land that is not your land.’”
inton dakayo, Israel ken Juda, ket kunayo, 'Apay nga inaramid kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo amin dagitoy a banbanag? Ket sika, Jeremias, kunaemto kadakuada, 'Kas iti panangtallikudyo kenni Yahweh ken nagrukbabkayo kadagiti gangannaet a dios iti dagayo, agserbikayonto met ngarud kadagiti gangannaet iti daga a saanyo a kukua.'
20 [Yahweh said to me], “Proclaim this to the people of Israel and Judah:
Ipadamagmo daytoy iti balay ni Jacob ken ipangngegmo iti Juda. Kunaem,
21 Listen to this, you people who are foolish and who do not have any sense: You have eyes, but [it is as though] you cannot see; you have ears, but [it is as though] you cannot hear.
'Dengngenyo daytoy, dakayo a maag a tattao nga awan pannakaawatna; addaan kadagiti mata, ngem saan a makakita. Addaanda kadagiti lapayag, ngem saan a makangngeg.
22 Why do you not revere me [RHQ]? You should [RHQ] tremble when you are in my presence! I, Yahweh, am the one who put a barrier along the shores so that the waters of the ocean cannot cross it [and flood the land]. The waves roll and roar, but they cannot go past that barrier.
Saankayo kadi nga agbuteng kaniak- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-wenno agpigerger iti sangoanak? Nangikabilak iti darat a kas pannakabeddeng ti baybay, maysa nga agnanayon a paglintegan a saanna a malabsing- uray pay agpangato ken agpababa ti baybay, kaskasdi a saanna a labsingen daytoy. Uray pay agdaranudor dagiti dalluyon daytoy, saanda a lumabes iti daytoy.
23 But you people [are not like the waves that obey me]. You people are very stubborn and rebellious. You have constantly turned away from me.
Ngem addaan iti natangken a panagpuspuso dagitoy a tattao. Nagsukir ken pimmanawda.
24 You do not say to yourselves, ‘We should revere Yahweh our God, the one who sends us rain at the times when we need it, the one who causes the grain to become ripe at the harvest season.’
Ta saanda a kunaen kadagiti puspusoda, “Agbutengtayo kenni Yahweh a Diostayo, nga isu ti mangmangyeg iti tudo- ti umuna ken maudi a tudo- iti apag-isu a tiempoda, a mangipasigurado iti naituding a lawlawas a panagaapittayo.” Ti kinadakesyo ti nanglapped iti pannakapasamak dagitoy a banbanag.
25 It is because of the wrong things that you have done, that those good things have not happened; it is because of the sins that you have committed that you have been prevented from receiving those blessings.
Dagiti basbasolyo ti nanglapped iti iyuumay ti naimbag kadakayo.
26 Among my people are wicked people who hide along the roads to ambush/attack people like [SIM] men who hunt birds (put out nets/set traps) to catch them.
Ta adda nadangkes a lallaki a nailaok kadagiti tattaok. Agbanbantayda a kas iti maysa nga agar-arudok nga agtiliw kadagiti billit; mangipakatda iti palab-og ken tiliwenda dagiti tattao.
27 Like [a hunter has] a cage full of birds [that he has captured], their homes are full of things that they have gotten by deceiving others. So now they are [very] rich and powerful.
Kas iti tangkal a napunno iti bilbillit, napnoan iti panangallilaw dagiti babbalayda. Isu a dimmakkel ken bimmaknangda.
28 They are big and fat, and there is no limit to the evil things that they have done. They do not try to defend orphans in the courtrooms, and they do not help poor people to get what they have a right to receive.
Limmukmegda; uray la simmileng dagiti kudilda iti kinapintas ti panagbiagda. Limmabesda kadagiti amin a beddeng ti kinadakes. Saanda nga ipakaasi ti kalintegan dagiti tattao, wenno ikanawa dagiti ulila. Rumangrang-ayda uray no saanda nga inikkan iti kalintegan dagiti agkasapulan.
29 So I will certainly [RHQ] punish them for doing those things. I will certainly [RHQ] (get revenge on their nation/do to their nation what they deserve).
Saan kadi a nasken a dusaek ida gapu kadagitoy a banbanag- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- ken saan kadi a rumbeng laeng a balsek ti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
30 Very appalling/horrible and terrible [DOU] things are happening in this country:
Nakabutbuteng ken nakaal-alinggaget ti napasamak iti daga.
31 Prophets speak [only] lies and priests rule by their own authority, and you people like that! But when you [start to] experience disasters, what will you do [RHQ]?”
Nagipadto dagiti profeta iti inaallilaw, ken agturturay dagiti papadi iti bukodda a bileg. Kaykayat dagiti tattaok ti kastoy a wagas, ngem anianto ti mapasamak iti kamaudianan?
