Jeremiah 9
1 I wish that my head was [like] [MET] a spring of water, and that my eyes were [like] a fountain of tears. Then I would cry night and day for all of my people who have been killed [by our enemies].
No makapaadda laeng koma ti ulok iti danum, ken agbalin dagiti matak a burayok dagiti lulua! Ta kayatko koma nga agsangit iti aldaw ken rabii gapu kadagiti adda iti anak a babai dagiti tattaok, a napapatay.
2 I wish that I could leave my people and forget them, and go and live in a shack/shelter in the desert, because they have not remained faithful [MET] [to Yahweh]; they are a mob of people who deceive others.
No adda laeng koma iti mangted kaniak iti lugar a pagianan dagiti agdaldaliasat idiay let-ang, a mabalinko a papanan tapno panawak dagiti tattaok. No mabalinko laeng koma ida a panawan, agsipud ta mannakikamalalada amin, bunggoy dagiti mangliliput!
3 [Yahweh replied to me], “They use their tongues [to tell] [MET] lies like people shoot [arrows] with bows. It is because they tell lies that they have become more powerful in this land, and they do not know me.
Imbaga ni Yahweh, “Agibagbagada kadagiti palso a banbanag babaen kadagiti dilada, nga isu dagiti manangallilaw a baida, ngem saanda a nabileg iti kinapudno iti rabaw ti daga. Agtultuloy ti panagtignayda iti dinadangkes. Saandak nga am-ammo.”
4 Do not trust your neighbors and [even] your brothers! They all are as deceitful [as Jacob was]. They slander [each other] and tell lies [about each other].
Tunggal maysa kadakayo, agannadkayo iti kaarrubayo ken saankayo nga agtalek iti siasinoman a kabsat. Ta tunggal kabsat ket maysa a manangallilaw ken tunggal kaarruba ket mamarpardaya.
5 They deceive their friends and never tell the truth. They lie continually and, because of that, they have become skilled liars; they do one oppressive thing after another, and are unable to stop doing it.
Laisen ti tunggal lalaki ti kaarrubana ken saan nga agsao iti pudno. Mangisuro dagiti dilada kadagiti makaallilaw a banbanag. Nabannogda manipud iti panagaramid iti nakaro a basol.
6 They habitually lie and deceive [each other], and no one will admit/say that I am God.
Agbibiagka iti tengnga ti panangallilaw; iti panangallilawda ket agkedkedda a mangbigbig kaniak— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
7 Therefore [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: Listen carefully to what I say: I will [cause my people to experience great afflictions, ] [like a metalworker puts metal in a hot fire] [MET] to completely burn out the impure bits. Because of all [the evil things] that my people have done, there is absolutely nothing else [RHQ] that I can do.
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Kitaem, dandanikon ida a suboken. Sukimatek ida. Kasano pay ti rumbeng a panagtignayko para kadagiti annak a babai dagiti tattaok?
8 What they say [MTY] [injures people like] [MET] poisoned arrows do. They say to their neighbors, ‘I hope things will go well for you,’ while they are planning to kill them.
Dagiti dilada ket kasla natiradan a pana; saan a pudno dagiti ibagbagada. Kadagiti ngiwatda ket iwaragawagda ti kappia kadagiti kaarrubada, ngem kadagiti pusoda ket padpadaananda ida.
9 Should I not punish them for doing that [RHQ]? Yes, I should certainly (get revenge on/give what they deserve to) [the people of] a nation that does things like that!”
Saan kadi a rumbeng a dusaek ida gapu kadagitoy a banbanag— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— ken saan kadi a rumbeng a balsek ti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
10 So, I will weep and wail for [the people who live in] the mountains and in the (pastures/places where the livestock eat the grass), because those areas will be desolate, and no one will live there. There will be no cattle there to call to each other, and all the birds and wild animals will have fled [to other places].
Agkantaak iti kanta a panagladingit ken panagdung-aw para kadagiti banbantay, ken maikantanto ti kanta a pangdung-aw para kadagiti pagaraban. Ta napuoran dagitoy isu nga awan iti mabalin a lumasat kadagitoy. Saandanto a mangngeg ti emmak ti aniaman a baka. Pimmanaw amin dagiti billit iti tangatang ken dagiti ayup.
11 [Yahweh also says], “I will cause Jerusalem to become a heap of ruins, and [only] jackals/wolves will live there. I will destroy the towns of Judah, with the result that they will be completely deserted; no one will live there.”
Isu a pagbalinekto ti Jerusalem a gabsuon iti pannakadadael, a pagnaedan dagiti atap nga aso. Pagbalinek dagiti siudad ti Juda a nadadael a lugar nga awan iti agnanaed.
12 [I said], “Only people who are very wise [RHQ] can understand these things. Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can [RHQ] explain these things to others. The wise people are [RHQ] the only ones who can explain why the land will be completely ruined with the result that everyone [RHQ] will be afraid to travel through it.”
Siasino ti masirib a tao a makaawat iti daytoy? Ania ti iwaragawag kenkuana ti ngiwat ni Yahweh tapno mabalinna nga ipadamag daytoy? Apay a nadadael ti daga? Nadadael daytoy a kas iti let-ang, nga awan iti siasinoman a mabalin a lumasat iti daytoy.
13 Yahweh replied, “[These things will happen] because my people have rejected my laws which I gave to them; they have not obeyed me or my instructions.
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Daytoy ket gapu ta tinallikudanda dagiti lintegko nga intedko a tungpalenda, gapu ta saanda a dumngeg iti timekko wenno agbiag babaen iti daytoy.
14 Instead, they have stubbornly done the things that they wanted to do. They have worshiped the idols that represent the god Baal, which is what their ancestors did.
Daytoy ket gapu ta nagbiagda a sinurotda dagiti nasukir a pusoda ken nagdayawda kadagiti Baal a kas insuro kadakuada dagiti ammada nga aramidenda.
15 So now listen to what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God of the Israelis, say: [What I will do will be like] [MET] giving these people bitter things to eat and poison to drink:
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Kitaem, dandanikon pakanen dagitoy a tattao iti ajenjo ken painumen iti nasabidongan a danum.
16 I will scatter them to many nations which neither they nor their ancestors have known [anything about]; I will [enable their enemies to] strike them with swords until I have destroyed them.”
Kalpasanna, iwaraskonto ida kadagiti nasion a saanda nga ammo, saanda nga ammo ken saan met nga ammo dagiti kapuonanda. Mangibaonakto iti kampilan a mangkamat kadakuada agingga a madadaelko ida a naan-anay.”
17 This is also what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Think [about what is happening], [then] summon those women who mourn [when someone has died].
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Panunotenyo ti maipapan iti daytoy: Mangayabkayo kadagiti kumakanta iti pangdung-aw; paumayenyo ida. Mangibaonkayo iti mapan mangayab kadagiti babbai a nalaing nga agdung-aw; paumayenyo ida.
18 Tell them to come quickly and start to wail, with the result that tears will stream down from your(pl) eyes.
Apuraenyo ida ket agkantada iti naladingit a kanta kadatayo, tapno agtedted dagiti lua kadagiti matatayo ken agayus ti danum kadagiti kalub iti matatayo.
19 Listen to [the people of] Jerusalem crying/lamenting, saying, ‘We have been ruined/destroyed! We have experienced a terrible disaster! Now we are very ashamed, because our houses have been destroyed [by our enemies], and we [are being forced to] leave our land.’”
Ta ti ikkis ti panagdung-aw ket mangngeg idiay Zion, 'No kasano a nadadaeltayo. Naibabaintayo iti napalalo, ta pinanawantayo ti daga agsipud ta rinebbada dagiti babbalaytayo.'
20 You women, listen to what Yahweh says [MTY]. Pay attention to his words [DOU]. Teach your daughters to wail. Teach each other how to sing funeral songs,
Isu a dakayo a babbai, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh; ipangagyo dagiti mensahe nga aggapu iti ngiwatna. Kalpasanna, suroanyo dagiti annakyo a babbai iti naladingit a kanta, ken pangdung-aw a kanta iti tunggal kaarruba a babai.
21 because people will be dying [PRS] in your houses and in palaces. There will be no more children playing in the streets, there will be no more young men [gathering] in the city squares/marketplaces.
Ta simrek ti patay kadagiti tawatayo; umuneg daytoy kadagiti palasiotayo. Dadaelenna daytoy dagiti ubbing iti ruar, ken dagiti agtutubo kadagiti kalkalsada ti siudad.
22 There will be corpses scattered across the fields like dung; their dead bodies will lie there like [SIM] grain that has been cut by reapers/farmers, and there will be no one [still alive] to bury them.
Ipakaammom daytoy, 'Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— dagiti bangkay dagiti lallaki ket maiwara a kasla rugit kadagiti tay-ak, ken kasla garami a nabati kalpasan dagiti agan-ani, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangurnong kadakuada.'”
23 Yahweh says this: “Wise men should not boast about their being wise, strong men should not boast about their being strong; and rich people should not boast about their being rich.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Saan koma ipannakkel ti nasirib a tao ti kinasiribna, wenno ti mannakigubat ti bilegna. Saan koma ipannakkel ti nabaknang a tao iti kinabaknangna.
24 Instead, those who want to boast should boast about their knowing me and about understanding that I am Yahweh, that I am kind and just and righteous, that I faithfully love [people], and that I am delighted with [people who act] that way.
Ta no ipannakkel ti maysa a tao iti aniaman a banag, daytoy koma ti ipannakkelna, ti pannakaaddana iti kinasaririt ken pannakaammo kaniak. Ta siak ni Yahweh, nga agtigtignay nga addaan iti kinapudno iti tulag, hustisia ken kinalinteg iti daga. Ta daytoy dagiti pakaragsakak— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
25 There will be a time when I will punish all those people of Egypt and of the Moab people-group and of the Edom [people-group] and of the Ammon [people-group], all those people who live close to desert areas (OR, who cut their hair short [to please their gods]) far from Judah, all those people who have [changed their bodies by] circumcising them [MET] but who have not [changed] their inner beings. I will punish the people of Judah also, because they have not changed their inner beings, [either].”
“Kitaem, umadanin dagiti aldaw— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— inton dusaek amin dagiti nakugit nga iti laeng bagida.
Dusaekto ti Egipto ken ti Juda, ti Edom, dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ti Moab, ken dagiti amin a tattao a mangpukpukis kadagiti buokda, nga agnanaed idiay disierto. Ta amin dagitoy a nasion ket saan a nakugit, ken amin dagiti balay ti Israel ket addaan iti saan a nakugit a puso.”
