< Jeremias 12 >

1 Nalintegka, O Yahweh, tunggal adda iyegko kenka a saan a pagkikinnaawatan. Pudno a rumbeng nga ibagak kenka ti rasonko nga agriri: Apay nga agballigi dagiti wagas dagiti nadangkes? Naballigi dagiti amin a tattao a saan a napudno.
[Too] righteous art thou, O Lord, that I could plead with thee; yet must I speak of [the principles of] justice with thee: Wherefore is the way of the wicked happy? do all those prosper that deal treacherously?
2 Inmulam ida ket nagramutda. Agtultuloy ti panagbungbungada. Asidegka kadakuada kadagiti ngiwatda, ngem adayoka kadagiti pusoda.
Thou hast planted them; they have also taken root; they grow; they also bring forth fruit: thou art near, in their mouth, and far from their mind.
3 Ngem Sika a mismo O Yahweh, am-ammonak. Nakitanakon ken nasukimatmon ti pusok. Iguyodmo ida a kasla karnero a mapan iti pagpartian. Ilasinmo ida para iti aldaw ti pannakapapatay.
But thou, O Lord, knowest me; thou seest me, and probest my heart toward thee; set them apart like sheep for the slaughter, and destine them for the day of slaying.
4 Kasano pay kabayag ti panagladladingit ti daga, ken ti panaglaylay dagiti mula iti tunggal talon gapu iti kinadangkes dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy? Naibusen dagiti narungsot nga ayup ken dagiti billit. Kinapudnona, kuna dagiti tattao, “Saan nga ammo ti Dios ti mapasamakto kadatayo.”
How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of all the field wither? Because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein are wholly removed the beasts and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end.
5 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ta no sika, Jeremias, ket nagtarayka a nakikuyog kadagiti magmagna a suldado, ket binannogdaka, kasano ka ngarud a makilumba kadagiti kabalio? No maitublakka iti nawaya ken natalged nga away, kasanonto ngarud no addaka iti kasamekan iti igid ti Jordan?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, how then canst thou contend with the horses? and if in the land of peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee, ] how then wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?
6 Ta uray dagiti kabsatmo ken ti pamilia ti amam ket liniputandaka ket uray dala inwaragawag ti panangilaksidda kenka. Saanka nga agtalek kadakuada, uray no nasayaat dagiti ibagbagada kenka.
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, even they have called forth a crowd of men after thee: believe them not, though they speak kindly unto thee.
7 Pinanawakon ti balayko; binaybay-akon ti tawidko. Intedkon dagiti patpatgek a tattaok kadagiti ima dagiti kabusorna.
I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage; I have given up the most dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Nagbalin ti tawidko a kasla leon iti kasamekan kaniak; bumusbusor isuna kaniak babaen iti bukodna a timek, isu a kagurak isuna.
My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it sent forth its voice against me: therefore do I hate it.
9 Kasla atap nga aso ti napateg a sanikuak, ken agtayabtayab dagiti billit a mangmangan iti padada nga ayup iti ngatwen ti ulona. Mapankayo, ummongenyo dagiti amin a sibibiag a parsua kadagiti tay-ak, ket iyegyo ditoy tapno kanenda ida.
Is my heritage become unto me as a bird of prey stained with blood? so that the birds of prey are all around it? Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them hither to devour.
10 Dinadael ti adu nga agipaspastor ti kaubasak. Binaddebaddekanda ti entero a bingayko a daga, pinagbalinda a let-ang ti napintas a bingayko, maysa a langalang. Pinagbalinda isuna a langalang. Nagladingitak gapu kenkuana; langalang isuna.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden under foot my field, they have rendered my pleasant field a desolate wilderness.
11 Nagbalinen a langalang ti entero a daga, ta awan ti tao a mangaywan iti daytoy.
They have made it a desert, and being desolate it mourneth before me: the whole land is made desolate, because no man laid it to heart.
12 Dimteng dagiti manangdadael a maibusor kadagiti amin nga ungaong a lugar idiay let-ang, ta agdakdakiwas ti kampilan ni Yahweh manipud iti maysa a pungto ti daga agingga iti sabali a pungto ti daga. Awan iti kinatalged iti daga iti aniaman a sibibiag a parsua.
Over all the mountain-peaks in the wilderness did the destroyers come; for the sword of the Lord devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: there is no peace to any flesh.
13 Nagmulada iti trigo ngem nagapitda kadagiti nasiit a mula. Nabannogda iti panagtrabaho ngem awan iti nagunggonada. Isu nga agbainkayo iti nagunggunayo gapu iti pungtot ni Yahweh.”
They have sown wheat, but they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain [but] have no profit; be therefore ashamed of your products, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
14 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maibusor kadagiti amin a kaarrubak, dagiti nadangkes a nangdadael iti sanikua nga impatawidko kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita, “Kitaem, Siakto ti mangparut kadakuada manipud iti bukodda a daga, ken parutekto ti balay ti Juda iti nagtetengngaanda.
Thus hath said the Lord against all my bad neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and the house of Judah will I pluck out from the midst of them.
15 Ket kalpasan ti panangparutko kadagitoy a nasion, mapasamakto a kaasiakto ida ken isublik ida; isublikto ida- tunggal tao iti tawidna ken iti dagana.
And it shall come to pass, that, after I have plucked them out, and I will again have mercy on them, and will restore them, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Mapasamakto a no adalen a naimbag dagidiay a nasion dagiti wagas dagiti tattaok, nga agsapatada iti naganko a kunaenda, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon!' a kas iti insuroda kadagiti tattaok a panagsapatada kenni Baal, ket makipagnaeddanto kadagiti tattaok.
And it shall come to pass, if they will truly learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As the Lord liveth; as they had taught my people to swear by Ba'al: that they shall then be built up in the midst of my people.
17 Ngem no adda iti saan a dumngeg, parutekto ngarud dayta a nasion. Siguradonto a maparut ken madadael daytoy- daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
But if they will not hearken, then will I pluck out that nation, plucking out and exterminating [them], saith the Lord.
