< Jeremias 10 >

1 Ipangagyo ti sao nga ibagbaga ni Yahweh kadakayo, balay ti Israel.
Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel:
2 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saanyo nga sursuroen dagiti wagas dagiti nasion, ken saankayo a maupay gapu kadagiti pagilasinan kadagiti langit, ta naupay dagiti nasion gapu kadagitoy.
Thus hath said the Lord, Do not habituate yourselves on the way of the nations, and at the signs of the heavens be ye not dismayed; although the nations should be dismayed at them.
3 Ta awan serserbina dagiti kaugalian dagiti tattao. Ta adda mangputed iti kayo idiay kabakiran; aramiden daytoy dagiti ima ti kumikitikit babaen iti wasay.
For the statutes of these people concern what is vanity; for it is but a tree which a man hath cut out of a forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 Kalpasanna, arkosanda daytoy iti pirak ken balitok. Palagdaenda daytoy babaen iti martilio ken kadagiti lansa tapno saan a matumba.
With silver and with gold do they ornament it; with nails and with hammers do they fasten it, that it move not from its place.
5 Dagitoy a didiosen ket kasla kadagiti bambanti iti taltalon a namulaan iti pipino, ta awan iti maibaga dagitoy. Masapul a maawit dagitoy, ta saanda a pulos a makaaddang. Saankayo nga agbuteng kadagitoy, ta saanda a makaiyeg iti dakes, wenno makaaramid iti aniaman a nasayaat.'”
As a wrought-out palm-like column are they, and cannot speak; they must needs be borne, because they cannot step along. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do any harm, so also to do any good is not in them.
6 Awan iti kas kenka, O Yahweh. Naindaklanka, ken ti naganmo ket mabigbigbig gapu iti pannakabalinmo.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord: thou [alone] art great, and great is thy name in might.
7 Siasino koma ti saan nga agbuteng kenka, ari dagiti nasion? Ta daytoy ti maikari kenka, ta awan iti kas kenka kadagiti amin a nasirib a lallaki kadagiti nasion wenno kadagiti amin a pagarianda.
Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [they say] there is none like unto thee.
8 Agpapadada amin, nakuneng ken maagda, adalan ida dagiti didiosen a kayo laeng.
But at once shall they be shown to be brutish and foolish: it is a doctrine of vanities, it concerneth but wood.
9 Mangiyegda iti napitpit a pirak manipud Tarsis, ken balitok manipud Ufas nga inaramid dagiti kumikitikit, kadagiti ima dagiti platero. Asul ken lila dagiti kawes dagitoy. Inaramid dagiti nalalaing a lallakida dagitoy amin a banbanag.
The beaten out silver is brought from Tharshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the goldsmith: blue and purple is their clothing; the work of skilful men are they all.
10 Ngem ni Yahweh ti pudno a Dios. Isuna ti sibibiag a Dios ken agnanayon nga ari. Aggingined ti daga gapu iti ungetna, ket saan a maibturan dagiti nasion ti ungetna.
But the Lord God is the truth, he is the living God, and the everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall quake, and nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Agsaokanto kadakuada a kastoy, “Dagiti dios a saan a nangaramid kadagiti langit ken daga ket mapukawto manipud iti daga ken manipud iti sirok dagitoy a langit.”
Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, shall perish away from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 Ti nangaramid ti daga babaen iti pannakabalinna ket imbangonna ti namaga a daga babaen iti kinasiribna ken inyukradna dagiti langit babaen iti pannakaawatna.
He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
13 Ti timekna ket pagdaranudorenna dagiti danum kadagiti langit, ken pangatoenna ti angep manipud iti pungto ti daga. Ar-aramidenna ti kimat para iti tudo ken parparuarenna ti angin iti pangiduldulinanna.
At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:
14 Nagbalinen a nakuneng ti tunggal lalaki, awan pannakaammona. Tunggal agkitkitikit ket maibabain gapu kadagiti didiosenna. Ta saan a pudno ti sinukogna a ladawan; awan iti biag kadagitoy.
Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.
15 Awan serserbida, inaramid dagitoy dagiti mananglais; mapukawdanto iti tiempo ti pannakadusada.
They are vanity, the work of deception; in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.
16 Ngem ti Dios, a pagdaydayawan ni Jacob ket saan a kastoy, ta isuna ti nangsukog kadagiti amin a banbanag. Ti Israel ket ti tribu a tawidna; Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin ti naganna.
Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.
17 Urnongenyo dagiti sanikuayo ket panawanyo ti daga, dakayo a tattao nga agnanaed iti siudad a pinalawlawan dagiti kabusor.
Gather up thy wares from the ground, O inhabitress of the beleaguered city.
18 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Kitaenyo, dandanikon papanawen dagiti agnanaed iti daga iti daytoy a tiempo. Pagrigatekto ida ket makariknadanto daytoy.”
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will cast forth as with a sling the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will enclose them, in order that they may find them.
19 Asiak pay! Gapu kadagiti natukkol a tulangko, nagnunog ti sugatko. Isu a kinunak, “Sigurado a panagtuok daytoy, ngem masapul nga ibturak.
Woe is me for my breach! my wound is painful; but I thought, This is but pain, and I shall be able to bear it.
20 Nadadael ti toldak, ken amin dagiti tali ti toldak ket napugsat. Inyadayoda kaniak dagiti annakko, isu nga awandan. Awanen iti mangiyukrad iti toldak wenno mangingato kadagiti kurtina ti toldak.
[But now] my tent is laid waste, and all my cords are torn asunder; my children are gone away from me, and they are not [here]; there is no one to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Ta nagbalinen a maag dagiti agpaspastor. Saanda a sapsapulen ni Yahweh, isu a saanda nga agballigi; nawarawara amin dagiti arbanda.
For the shepherds were brutish, and the Lord had they not sought; therefore have they not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
22 Dimtengen dagiti damag, “Kitaenyo! Umayen! Adda napigsa a gingined nga umay manipud iti daga iti amianan a mangdadael kadagiti siudad ti Juda, ket agbalin a pagnaedan dagiti atap nga aso.”
Behold, the noise of the report is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to render the cities of Judah desolate, a dwelling for monsters.
23 Ammok O Yahweh, a ti dalan ti maysa a tao ket saan nga agtaud iti bagina. Awan ti tao a magmagna ti mangiturturong kadagiti bukodna nga addang.
I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in his own power: it is not in man that passeth away to direct his own steps.
24 Iwanwannak, O Yahweh, a nabuyugan iti hustisia, ngem saan a gapu iti ungetmo, ta amangan no dadaelennak.
Correct me, O Lord, but with justice; not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25 Ibukbokmo ti pungtotmo kadagiti nasion a saan a makaam-ammo kenka ken kadagiti pamilia a saan nga umawag iti naganmo. Ta inalun-onda ni Jacob ken inibusda isuna tapno madadael isuna a naan-anay ken marebbada ti pagnanaedanna.
Pour out thy fury over the nations that know thee not, and over the families that have not called on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his dwelling desolate.
