Jeremias 11

1 Kastoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh, kinunana,

This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:

2 “Dumngegka kadagiti sasao iti daytoy a tulag, ket ibagam dagitoy iti tunggal tao iti Juda ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.

“Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].

3 Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Mailunod ti siasinoman a saan a dumngeg kadagiti sasao iti daytoy a tulag.

Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.

4 Daytoy ti tulag nga imbilinko kadagiti kapuonanyo a tungpalenda iti aldaw nga inruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto, manipud iti urno a paglunagan iti landok. Kinunak, “Dumngegkayo iti timekko ket aramidenyo amin dagitoy a banbanag a kas imbilinko kadakayo, ta agbalinkayonto a tattaok ket Siakto ti Diosyo.”

It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.

5 Agtulnogkayo kaniak tapno patalgedak ti sapata nga inkarik kadagiti kapuonanyo, ti sapata nga itedko kadakuada ti daga nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro, a pagnanaedanyo ita.'” Ket siak a ni Jeremias, simmungbatak a kinunak, “Wen, Yahweh!”

[Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”

6 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Iwaragawagmo amin dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti siudad ti Juda ken kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem. Ibagam, 'Dumngegkayo kadagiti sasao iti daytoy a tulag ken tungpalenyo dagitoy.

Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.

7 Ta napasnekak a nangted kadagiti bilin kadagiti kapuonanyo manipud iti aldaw a panangiruarko kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto agingga iti daytoy nga agdama a tiempo, sipipingetak a nangballaag kadakuada a kunak, “Dumngegkayo iti timekko.'”

When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.

8 Ngem saanda a dimngeg wenno nangipangag. Magmagna ti tunggal tao iti kinasukir iti nadangkes a pusona. Isu nga inyegko a maibusor kadakuada dagiti amin a lunod iti daytoy a tulag nga imbilinko nga umay kadakuada. Ngem saan latta a nagtulnog dagiti tattao.”

But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”

9 Simmaruno a kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Maysa a panggep nga agaramid iti dakes ti natakuatan kadagiti lallaki ti Juda ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.

Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.

10 Sinublianda dagiti kinadakes dagiti kauunaan a kapuonanda, a nagkedked a dumngeg iti saok, ngem ketdi kinamatda dagiti didiosen tapno agdayawda kadagitoy. Sinalungasing ti balay ti Israel ken ti balay ti Juda ti tulagko a nakitulagak kadagiti kapuonanda.

Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.

11 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Adtoy, ngannganikon nga iyeg ti didigra kadakuada, didigra a saandanto a kabaelan a libasan. Ket umawagdanto kaniak, ngem saankonto ida a denggen.

So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.

12 Mapan umawag dagiti siudad ti Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem kadagiti didiosen a pagdatdatonanda, ngem sigurado a saanto ida nga isalakan dagitoy iti tiempo iti didigrada.

When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.

13 Ta maipada ti bilang dagiti didiosenyo iti bilang dagiti siudadyo, Juda. Ket nangaramidkayo kadagiti nakababain nga altar idiay Jerusalem, altar a pagpupuoran iti insenso para kenni Baal, a maipada iti bilang dagiti kalsada iti daytoy.

There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.

14 Isu a sika a mismo Jeremias, masapul a saanmo nga ikararagan dagitoy a tattao. Masapul a saanka nga agdung-aw wenno agkararag a maipaay kadakuada. Ta saankonto ida a denggen inton umawagda kaniak iti tiempo a madidigrada.

Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”

15 Apay nga adda pay laeng iti balayko dagiti ipatpategko a tattao, nga addaan kadagiti nadangkes a panggep? Ta saan a makatulong kadakayo ti karne a nailasin para kadagiti datonyo gapu ta nakaaramidkayo iti dakes ket nagragsakkayo pay iti daytoy.

Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.

16 Idi, inawagannakayo ni Yahweh a kas naraboy a kayo nga olibo, napintas nga addaan makaay-ayo a bunga. Ngem sinilmutanna ti rabaw daytoy nga aguni a kasla daranudor ti maysa a bagyo; maspakto dagiti sanga daytoy.

I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.

17 Ta ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a nangimula kadakayo, ket nangibaon iti didigra kadakayo gapu kadagiti dakes nga aramid nga inaramid ti balay ti Israel ken ti balay ti Juda- pinaungetdak gapu iti panagdatdatonda kenni Baal.'”

[It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”

18 Impakaammo ni Yahweh kaniak dagitoy a banbanag, isu a naammoak dagitoy. Sika, O Yahweh, impakitam kaniak dagiti aramidda.

Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.

19 Kaiyarigak iti maysa nga urbon a karnero a maiturturong iti pagpartian. Saanko nga ammo a nagpanggepda iti maibusor kaniak a kunada, “Dadaelentayo ti kayo agraman ti bunga daytoy! Pukanentayo isuna manipud iti daga dagiti nabbiag tapno saanton a malagip ti naganna.”

[Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].

20 Ngem ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nalinteg nga ukom a mangsuksukimat iti puso ken panunot. Maimatangakto ti panangbalesmo kadakuada, ta inyasugko kenka daytoy a banag maipapan kaniak.

[Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”

21 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kadagiti tattao ti Anatot nga agpangpanggep a mangpukaw iti biagmo, “Kunada, 'Masapul a saanka nga agipadto babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh, ta no saan, matayka babaen kadagiti imami.'

It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.

22 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Kitaem, dusaekto ida. Matayto dagiti nasisiglat ken napipigsa nga agtutuboda a lallaki babaen iti kampilan. Matayto dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai gapu iti bisin.

So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.

23 Awanto ti mabati kadakuada, gapu ta mangiyegak iti didigra kadagiti tattao ti Anatot, maysa a tawen ti pannakadusada.”

I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
