Jeremias 17
1 Naisurat ti basol ti Juda babaen iti pagsurat a landok nga addaan iti diamante iti murdongna. Naikitikit daytoy iti tapi dagiti pusoda ken kadagiti sara dagiti altaryo.
[Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!
2 Malagip dagiti annakda dagiti altar ken tekken ti Aserada iti ayan dagiti narukbos a kayo iti tuktok dagiti nangato a turod.
[Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] the high hills.
3 Malagipda dagiti altarda iti tuktok dagiti bantay iti away. Ipasamsamkonto dagiti sanikuayo ken dagiti amin a gamengyo kadagiti dadduma. Ta naiwaras ti basolyo iti sadinoman a disso iti uneg dagiti amin a beddengyo.
So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.
4 Mapukawyonto ti tawid nga intedko kadakayo. Ipatagabukayonto kadagiti kabusoryo iti daga a saanyo pay a napanan, ta pinasgedanyo ti pungtotko, a sumgedto iti agnanayon.
The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will burn forever.”
5 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Ti tao nga agtaltalek iti padana a tao ket nailunod; pagbalinenna a pigsana ti lasag ngem iyadayona ti pusona kenni Yahweh.
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.
6 Ta kayariganna ti bassit a mula iti Araba ket saannanto a makita ti aniaman a naimbag nga umay. Agtalinaedto isuna iti kabatbatoan a luglugar iti let-ang, awan agtubo a mula ken awan agnanaed.
They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.
7 Ngem ti tao nga agtaltalek kenni Yahweh ket mabendisionan, ta ni Yahweh ti gapuanan ti talgedna.
But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].
8 Ta kayariganna ti maysa a mula nga asideg iti danum ti waig; agwarasto dagiti ramutna. Saannanto a marikna ti pudot a dumteng, ta narukbos dagiti bulongna. Ket iti panawen ti tikag, saanto a madanagan daytoy wenno agsardeng ti panagbungana.
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
9 Ti puso ket ad-adda a manangallilaw ngem iti aniaman a banag. Daytoy ket masakit; Siasino ti makaawat iti daytoy?
Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.
10 Siak ni Yahweh, ti mangsuksukimat iti panunot, ti mangsubsubok iti puso. Itedko iti tunggal tao ti maiparbeng kenkuana, ti panangdusa kenkuana gapu iti bunga dagiti inaramidna.
But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”
11 Pissaan ti billit ti maysa nga itlog a saanna nga inyitlog. Bumaknang ti maysa a tao iti kinikillo a wagas. Ngem iti kapatgan nga aldaw ti panagbiagna, panawanto isuna dagidiay a kinabaknang ken agbalinto isuna a maag iti kamauddiananna.”
[I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.
12 Ti lugar ti templotayo ket nadayag a trono, a naisaad sipud pay idi punganay.
Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.
13 Ni Yahweh ti namnama ti Israel. Maibabainto amin nga agsukir kenka. Mapapatayto dagiti timmallikud kenka nga adda iti daga. Ta taltallikudanna ni Yahweh, ti burayok ti sibibiag a danum.
You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.
14 Paimbagennak, O Yahweh, ket maimbaganak! Ispalennak, ket maispalak. Ta sika ti idaydayawko iti kantak.
Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.
15 Kitaem, ibagbagada kaniak, 'Ayanna ngay ti sao ni Yahweh? Umay koma ngarud!'
People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]
16 No maipapan kaniak, saanko nga intarayan ti panagbalinko nga agpaspastor a sumursurot kenka. Saanko a tinarigagayan ti aldaw ti didigra. Ammom dagiti maiwarwaragawag a nagtaud iti bibigko. Naaramidda iti imatangmo.
Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].
17 Saanka koma nga agbalin a nakabutbuteng kaniak. Sika ti kamangko iti aldaw ti didigra.
Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.
18 Maibabain koma dagiti mangkamkamat kaniak, ngem saanmo koma nga ipalubos a maibabainak. Maupayda koma, ngem saanmo koma nga ipalubos a maupayak. Ibaonmo a maibusor kadakuada ti aldaw ti didigra ken burakem ida babaen iti doble a pannakadadael.”
[So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!
19 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka agtakder iti ruangan dagiti tattao iti pagserkan ken pagruaran dagiti ari ti Juda, kalpasanna, kadagiti amin a dadduma pay a ruangan ti Jerusalem.
This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.
20 Ibagam kadakuada, 'Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo nga ari ti Juda ken dakayo amin a tattao iti Juda, ken tunggal agnanaed iti Jerusalem a magmagna kadagitoy a ruangan.
Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!
21 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Agannadkayo maigapu kadagiti bibiagyo ken saankayo nga agawit iti aniaman iti Aldaw ti Panaginana nga iyegyo daytoy kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem.
He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!
22 Ken saankayo a mangiruar iti aniaman manipud iti balayyo iti Aldaw ti Panaginana. Saankayo nga agaramid iti aniaman a trabaho, ngem idatonyo kenni Yahweh ti Aldaw ti Panaginana, a kas iti imbilinko nga aramiden kadagiti kapuonanyo.”
Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,
23 Saanda a dimngeg wenno nangipangag, ngem pinatangkenda dagiti pusoda tapno saandak a denggen wenno awaten ti panangiwanwanko.
but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.
24 Mapasamakto a no ipapatiyo ti dumngeg kaniak-daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-ken no saankayo a mangiyeg iti aniaman nga awit kadagiti ruangan iti daytoy a siudad iti Aldaw ti Panaginana ngem ketdi idatonyo iti Aldaw ti Panaginana kenni Yahweh ken saankayo nga agaramid iti aniaman a trabaho iti daytoy-
But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,
25 ket umayto dagiti ari, dagiti prinsipe ken dagiti agtugaw iti trono ni David kadagiti ruangan daytoy a siudad a nakakarwahe ken nakakabalio, isuda ken dagiti panguloda, dagiti lallaki iti Juda ken dagiti agnaned iti Jerusalem. Ket agtalinaedto daytoy a siudad iti agnanayon.
kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city forever.
26 Aggapudanto kadagiti siudad iti Juda ken iti aglawlaw ti Jerusalem, ken manipud iti daga ti Benjamin ken kadagiti kapatadan, manipud iti kabanbantayan ken manipud iti Negev, a mangiyeg kadagiti daton a maipuor, sakripisio, dagiti taraon a maidaton ken insenso. Ket iyegdanto iti balayko dagiti daton a panagyaman.
And people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.
27 Ngem no saankayo a dumngeg kaniak, nga ilasinyo ti Aldaw ti Panaginana para kenni Yahweh-no mangawitkayo iti aniaman a banag nga iyegyo kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem iti Aldaw ti Panaginana, ket mangpasgedak iti apuy kadagiti ruangan daytoy, apuy a mangibusto kadagiti sarikedked ti Jerusalem, ket saanto a maiddep dayta.”
But if you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
