< Jeremias 14 >

1 Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias maipapan iti tikag.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Jeremiah concerning a drought.
2 “Agladingit koma ti Juda; Madadael koma dagiti ruanganna. Agan-anug-ogda gapu iti daga; Agpangpangato dagiti ararawda para iti Jerusalem.
Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof languish; They are in deep mourning upon the ground. And the cry of Jerusalem goeth up.
3 Ibaon dagiti nababaknang dagiti adipenda nga agsakdo. No kasta a mapanda kadagiti pagsakdoan; awan ti masarakanda a danum. Agsublida amin a saan a naballigi; abbonganda dagiti uloda gapu iti pannakaibabain.
The nobles send their younger ones for water; They come to the wells, they find none; They return with their vessels empty; They are ashamed and confounded; They cover their heads.
4 Gapu iti daytoy, nagrengngat ti daga, ta awan ti tudo iti daga. Maibabain dagiti umaarado a lallaki ket abbonganda dagiti uloda.
Because of the ground, which is in consternation, No rain falling upon the earth, The husbandmen are ashamed, They hide their heads.
5 Ta uray ti kabaian nga ugsa ket ibatina dagiti annakna kadagiti tay-ak ket baybay-annan dagitoy, ta awanen iti ruot.
Even the hind in the field is delivered, And deserteth her young, Because there is no grass.
6 Agtakder dagiti atap nga asno kadagiti kapatadan nga awan pulos mulana ket agal-al dagitoy a kas kadagiti atap nga aso. Kumudrep dagiti matada, ta awan pulos iti mula.”
The wild asses stand upon the hills, They snuff up the wind like jackals; Their eyes fail, Because there is no grass.
7 O Yahweh, uray no agsaksi dagiti basolmi maibusor kadakami, agtignayka para iti pagsayaatan ti naganmo. Ta umad-adu dagiti awan serserbina nga aramidmi, nagbasolkami kenka.
Though our iniquities testify against us, Yet do thou, O Jehovah, act from a regard to thine own name. For our transgressions have been many; We have sinned against thee.
8 Namnama ti Israel, a mangisalsalakan kenkuana iti tiempo ti panagrigrigat, apay a kaslaka ganggannaet iti daga, kasla maysa a ganggannaet nga agdaldaliasat nga agunnat ken aginana laeng iti maysa a rabii?
O thou hope of Israel, His saviour in the time of trouble, Why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, As a traveller who spreadeth his tent to pass the night?
9 Apay nga agbalinka a kasla maysa a mariribukan a tao, a kas iti mannakigubat nga awan naispalna? Ta addaka iti tengngami, O Yahweh! Naipakaammon ti naganmo kadakami. Saannakami a panawan.
Why wilt thou be as a man that is amazed, As a hero that cannot save? Thou art in the midst of us, O Jehovah, And we are called by thy name; Do not forsake us!
10 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kadagitoy a tattao, “Agsipud ta kayatda ti umadayo, saanda a magawidan dagiti sakada iti panangaramid iti daytoy.” Saan a maay-ayo ni Yahweh kadakuada. Ita, linagipna dagiti basolda ket dinusana dagiti basolda.
Thus saith Jehovah concerning this people: Thus they love to wander, They restrain not their feet; Therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; Now will he remember their iniquities, And punish their sins.
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Saanmo nga ikararagan dagitoy a tattao para iti pagimbaganda.
Then said Jehovah to me: Pray not for this people for their good!
12 Ta no agayunarda, saankonto a denggen dagiti anug-ogda ket no mangidatagda kadagiti daton a maipuor ken kadagiti daton a makan, saanakto a maay-ayo kadakuada. Ta gibusakto ida babaen iti kampilan, panagbisin, ken didigra.”
Though they fast, I will not hear their cry; Though they offer burnt-offerings and flour-offerings, I will not accept them; But by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, I will make an end of them.
13 Ket kinunak, “O Yahweh nga Apo! Kitaem! Ibagbaga dagiti profeta kadagiti tattao, 'Saankayonto a makakita iti kampilan; awanto ti panagbisin a sagabaenyo, ta ikkankayonto iti pudno a talged iti daytoy a lugar.'”
Then said I, Alas! O Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say to them, “Ye shall not see the sword, Nor shall famine come upon you; But Jehovah will give you lasting peace in this place.”
14 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Agipadpadto dagiti profeta iti inuulbod iti naganko. Saanko ida nga imbaon, wenno binilin, wenno nakisarita kadakuada. Ngem dagiti inuulbod a sirmata ken awan serserbina ken inuulbod a panagpadpadles a nagtaud kadagiti bukodda a puso- dagitoy dagiti ipadpadtoda kadakayo.”
Then said Jehovah to me: The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I have not sent them, nor commissioned them, nor spoken to them; A false vision, and divination, and vanity, And the fraud of their hearts, do they prophesy to you.
15 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Maipapan kadagiti profeta a mangipadpadto babaen iti naganko ngem saanko nga imbaon- dagiti mangibagbaga nga awanto iti kampilan wenno panagbisin iti daytoy a daga: Mapukawto dagitoy a profeta babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets Who prophesy in my name, though I sent them not, But who themselves say, “The sword and famine shall not be in this land”: By the sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed.
16 Ket maiwalangto dagiti tattao a nangipadtoanda kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem gapu iti bisin ken kampilan, ta awanto ti mangitabon kadakuada- isuda, dagiti assawada, dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai- ta ibukbokkonto kadakuada ti kinadangkesda.
And the people to whom they prophesy Shall be cast forth in the streets of Jerusalem By means of famine and the sword; And they shall have none to bury them, —They, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; For I will pour their wickedness upon them.
17 Ibagam daytoy a sao kadakuada: “Agayus koma dagiti lulua kadagiti matak, iti rabii ken aldaw. Saan koma nga agsardeng dagitoy, ta addanto iti nakaro a pannakadadael ti birhen nga anak dagiti tattaok- nakaro ken saan a maagasan a sugat.
Thus also shalt thou speak to them: My eyes shall run down with tears night and day; They shall not cease; For a deep wound hath she received, The virgin daughter of my people, A deadly blow.
18 No mapanak kadagiti kataltalonan ket makitak! Adda sadiay dagiti napapatay babaen iti kampilan. Ket no mapanak iti siudad, ket, kumitaak! Adda sadiay dagiti natay gapu iti bisin. Uray dagiti profeta ken dagiti padi ket saanda nga ammo ti ar-aramidenda.'”
If I go forth into the fields, Then behold them that are slain by the sword! And if I enter the city, Then behold them that pine with famine! Both prophet and priest wander about the land, they know not whither.
19 Naan-anay kadin ti panangilaksidmo iti Juda? Kaguram kadi ti Sion? Apay a dunorennakami no saankami gayam a mapaimbag? Ninamnamami nga adda kappia, ngem awan iti nasayaat- ken iti tiempo ti pannakapaimbag, ngem kitaem, panagbuteng laeng ti adda.
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul abhor Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, so that there is no healing for us! We look for peace, and there is no good, For a time of healing, and behold, terror!
20 O Yahweh, aklunenmi dagiti biddutmi, ti basol dagiti kapuonanmi, ta nagbasolkami kenka.
We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, And the iniquity of our fathers; For we have sinned against thee.
21 Saannakami a laksiden! Ipagapum koma iti naganmo, saanmo koma a pagbalinen a nakababain ti nadayag a tronom. Laglagipem koma ken saanmo a dadaelen ti katulagam kadakami.
Do not spurn us, for thy name's sake! Do not dishonor thy glorious throne! Call to mind, break not, thy covenant with us!
22 Adda kadi kadagiti didiosen dagiti nasion ti siasinoman a makaiyeg iti tudo iti tiempona? Saan kadi a Sika, Yahweh a Diosmi, ti mangar-aramid iti daytoy? Mangnamnamakami kenka, gapu ta inaramidmo amin dagitoy a banbanag.
Are there among the vanities of the nations any that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou he, O Jehovah, our God? Therefore in thee will we trust, For thou hast made all these things!
