Jeremias 18
1 Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a kunana,
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
2 “Tumakderka ket mapanka iti balay ti agdamdamili, ta ipakaammok kenka sadiay ti mensahek”
Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there will I cause thee to hear my words.
3 Isu a napanak iti balay ti agdamdamili, ket nakitak! Madama nga agtrabtrabaho ti agdamdamili iti pagdamilian.
So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was at work at the wheel.
4 Ngem ti banga a suksukogenna ket nadadael iti imana, isu a binaliwanna daytoy ket nangaramid iti sabali a banag a napintas iti panagkitana.
And the vessel which he was making of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he began anew and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying:
6 “Saanko aya a kabaelan nga aramiden kadakayo balay ti Israel ti kas iti inaramid ti agdamdamili? -kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Kitaenyo! kas iti pila nga adda iti ima ti agdamdamili- kasta ti kaaddayo iti imak, balay ti Israel.
Cannot I do after the manner of this potter With respect to you. O house of Israel, saith Jehovah? Behold, as the clay is in the hand of the potter, So are ye in my hand, O house of Israel!
7 Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalinko nga ipakaammo ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian a parutek daytoy, burakek wenno dadaelek daytoy.
Whenever I speak concerning a nation or a kingdom, That I will pluck it up, cast it down, or destroy it,
8 Ngem no ti nasion a nangiballaagak ket tumallikud iti kinadakesna, saanko ngarud nga ituloy ti didigra a pangpanggepek nga iyeg iti daytoy.
If that nation shall turn from its wickedness On account of which I threatened it, Then will I repent of the evil which I purposed to do to it.
9 Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalin nga ibagak ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian, a bangonek daytoy wenno ipatakderko daytoy.
And whenever I speak concerning a nation or a kingdom, That I will build it, or plant it,
10 Ngem no mangaramid daytoy iti dakes iti imatangko, a saanna dengngen ti timekko, isardengkonto ngarud ti nasayaat nga imbagak nga aramidek para kadakuada.
And it shall do that which is evil in my sight, And not hearken to my voice, Then will I repent of the good with which I promised to bless them.
11 Isu nga ita, agsaoka kadagiti lallaki iti Juda ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo, Umadanin ti panangparnuayko iti didigra kadakayo. Umadanin ti panangaramidko iti maysa a panggep a maibusor kadakayo. Tunggal tao ket agbabawi iti dinadangkes nga ar-aramidenna, tapno dagiti wagasyo ken dagiti aramidyo ket mangiyeg iti nasayaat kadakayo,
And now speak to the men of Judah, And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am framing evil against you, And meditating a design against you; Return ye now every one from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.
12 Ngem ibagadanto, 'Awan serserbina daytoy. Agtignaykami segun kadagiti bukodmi a panggep. Aramidento ti tunggal maysa kadakami ti kinadakesna, dagiti tarigagay ti nasukir a pusona.'
But they say, “There is no remedy, For we will walk after our own devices, And we will practise every one the perverseness of his evil heart.”
13 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saludsodem kadagiti nasion, siasino ti nakangngeg iti kasta a banag a kas iti daytoy? Nakaaramid ti birhen nga Israel iti nakaal-alinggaget a tignay.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Inquire ye now among the nations, Who hath heard such things as these? The virgin of Israel hath done a deed of horror.
14 Maawanan kadi iti niebe dagiti kabatbatoan a turod kadagiti away iti Lebanon? Matianan kadi dagiti waig iti bantay nga agayus manipud iti adayo?
Shall the snow from the rocks of Lebanon forsake my fields? Or shall the cold flowing waters, that come from afar, be dried up?
15 Ngem linipatdak dagiti tattaok. Nagidatonda kadagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ken naitibkulda kadagiti dalanda; pinanawanda dagiti nagkauna a dalan tapno magnada kadagiti basbassit a dalan.
Yet my people have forgotten me, And burned incense to vanity; They stumble in their paths, the old ways, And walk in ways that have not been thrown up,
16 Agbalinto a nakabutbuteng ti dagada, maysa a banag nga agnanayon a pagsakuntipan. Amin a lumabas iti dagada ket agkintayeg ken agwingiwing.
To make their land a desolation, A perpetual hissing; Every one that passeth through it shall be amazed, And shake his head.
17 Waraekto ida iti sangoanan dagiti kabusorda a kasla tapok nga intayab ti angin a naggapu iti daya. Tallikudakto ida ken saanak a sumango iti aldaw ti didigrada.'”
I will scatter them before the enemy, as with the east wind; I will show them the back, and not the face, In the day of their calamity.
18 Isu a kinuna dagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, planwentayo ti dakes nga aramidentayo kenni Jeremias, agsipud ta saan a pulos a mapukaw ti linteg kadagiti padi, wenno balakad manipud kadagiti mamasirib a lallaki, wenno sasao manipud kadagiti profeta. Umaykayo, rautentayo isuna babaen kadagiti sasaotayo ket saantayon nga ipangag ti aniaman nga ibagbagana.
But they say, “Come, let us devise measures against Jeremiah; For the law shall not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet; Come, let us smite him with the tongue, And not give heed to any of his words.”
19 Ipangagnak, O Yahweh! Ket denggem ti ariwawa dagiti kabusorko.
Give heed to me, O Jehovah, And hear the voice of my adversaries!
20 Didigra kadi ti gungunak iti kinaimbagko kadakuada? Ta nangkalida iti abut a para kaniak. Lagipem ti panagtakderko iti sangoanam tapno agsaoak para iti pagsayaatanda, tapno bumaaw ti pungtotmo kadakuada.
Shall evil be returned for good? For they have digged a pit for me. Remember how I have stood before thee, To announce good to them, And to turn away thy wrath from them!
21 Iyawatmo ngarud dagiti annakda iti panagbisin, ken itedmo ida iti pannakabalin ti kampilan. Ipalubosmo koma a maulila ken mabalo dagiti assawada a babbai, ken mapapatay dagiti lallaki nga adda kadakuada, ken mapapatay dagiti agtutuboda a lallaki babaen iti kampilan iti gubat.
Therefore give thou up their sons to famine, And deliver them to the edge of the sword! Let their wives be childless and widows, Let their men be slain by pestilence, And their young men fall by the sword in battle!
22 Mangngeg koma ti panagasug iti panagtuok manipud kadagiti babbalayda, bayat ti kellaat a panangiyegmo kadagiti mangraut kadakuada. Ta nagkalida iti maysa nga abut tapno tiliwendak ken nangipakatda kadagiti silo para kadagiti sakak.
Let a cry be heard from their houses, When thou shalt bring a troop upon them suddenly! For they have digged a pit to take me, And hidden snares for my feet.
23 Ngem Sika, O Yahweh, ammom amin dagiti panggepda a mangpapatay kaniak. Saanmo a pakawanen ti nakaro a kinadakesda ken dagiti basolda. Saanmo a punasen dagiti basolda kenka. Ngem ketdi, bay-am ida a maparmek iti sangoanam. Agtignayka a maibusor kadakuada iti tiempo ti pungtotmo.
Thou, O Jehovah, knowest all their plots against my life! Cover not their iniquity, And blot not out their sin from thy sight! But let them be overthrown before thee; Deal with them in the time of thy wrath!
