< Jeremias 2 >

1 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Mapanmo iwaragawag kadagiti lapayag ti Jerusalem. Kunaem, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Linagipko para iti apgsayaatam ti kinapudnom iti katulaganta idi agtutuboka, ti ayatmo idi tiempo a nagtulagta nga agasawata, idi sinurotnak idiay let-ang, a daga a saan a namulaan.
"Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "I remember you, the devotion of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Naidaton kenni Yahweh ti Israel, ti immuna a bunga ti apit! Amin a nangan manipud kadagiti immuna a bunga ket nakabasol! Dakesto ti mapagtengda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'”
Israel was holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,"' says the LORD."
4 Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, O balay ni Jacob ken tunggal pamilia iti balay ti Israel.
Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Ania aya ti biddut a nasarakan dagiti ammayo kaniak, ta immadayoda iti panangsurotda kaniak? Ta sinurotda dagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ket nagbalinda met nga awan serserbina?
Thus says the LORD, "What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Saanda man laeng a sinaludsod, 'Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh, a nangiruar kadatayo iti daga ti Egipto? Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh, a nangidalan kadatayo idiay let-ang, iti daga ti Araba, iti abut iti daga a namaga ken kasta unay ti kinasipngetna, daga nga awan iti lumablabas ken awan iti agnanaed?'
Neither did they say, 'Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived?'
7 Ngem impankayo iti daga ti Carmel, tapno kanenyo ti bunga daytoy ken dagiti dadduma a nasayaat a banbanag! Ngem idi immaykayo, tinulawanyo ti dagak, pinagbalinyo a makarimon ti tawidko!
I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 Saan a sinaludsod ti padi, 'Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh?' ken saan nga inkankano dagiti nalalaing iti linteg! Nagbasol kaniak dagiti agpaspastor. Nagipadto dagiti profeta para kenni Baal ken nagdaydayawda kadagiti awan mamaayna a banbanag.
The priests did not say, 'Where is the LORD?' And those who handle the law did not know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Isu nga akusarankayo latta—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ken akusarak dagiti annak dagiti annakyo.
"Therefore I will yet contend with you," says the LORD, "and I will contend with your children's children.
10 Ta bumallasiwkayo kadagiti igid ti baybay ti Kitim ket kitaenyo. Mangibaonkayo kadagiti mensahero a mapan idiay Kedar ket ammoen ken kitaenyo no adda iti kas iti daytoy a napasamak idi.
For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.
11 Adda aya nasion a nangisukat kadagiti diosna, nupay saan a pudno a dios dagitoy? Ngem insukat dagiti tattaok ti dayagda iti awan maitulongna kadakuada.
Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
12 Agkintayegkayo, dakayo a langlangit gapu iti daytoy! Makigtot ken agbutengkayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
"Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate," says the LORD.
13 Ta nakaaramid kaniak dagiti tattaok iti dua a kita iti kinadakes: Pinanawanda dagiti ubbog iti sibibiag a danum gapu iti panagkalida kadagiti bubon para kadakuada, nadadael a bubon a saan a makargaan iti danum!
"For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Tagabu kadi ni Israel? Saan kadi a naipasngay isuna iti pagtaengan? Apay ngarud a nagbalin isuna a samsam?
Is Israel a servant? Is he a native-born slave? Why has he become a prey?
15 Nagngernger dagiti urbon a leon kenkuana. Nagariwawada iti kasta unay ket pinagbalinda a nakabutbuteng ti dagana! Nadadael dagiti siudadna ket awan ti agnanaed.
The young lions have roared at him, and yelled. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
16 Kasta met a kinalboandaka dagiti tattao ti Memfis ken Tafanes ken pinagbalindaka a tagabu!
The people of Memphis and Tahpanhes have also shaved the crown of your head.
17 Saan kadi a sika met laeng ti nangaramid iti daytoy iti bagim idi immadayoka kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, kabayatan nga idaldalannaka?
"Haven't you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way?
18 Ita ngarud, apay a magnaka iti dalan nga agturong idiay Egipto ken uminomka iti danum ti Sihor? Apay a magnaka iti dalan nga agturong idiay Asiria ken uminomka iti danum ti Karayan Eufrates?
Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
19 Matubtubngarka gapu iti kinadangkesmo, ken madusdusaka gapu iti panangtallikudmo kaniak. Isu a panunotem ti maipapan iti daytoy ket amirisem a nadangkes ken nasaem ti ipaay kenka ti panangtallikudmo kaniak, Siak, a ni Yahweh a Diosmo, ken ti saanmon a panagbuteng kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo a Mannakabalin amin.
"Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you," says the LORD of hosts.
20 Ta dinadaelko ti sangol nga adda kenka idi un-unana nga al-aldaw; pinugsatko dagiti kawarmo. Ngem kinunam latta, 'Saanak nga agserbi!' agsipud ta nagrukbabka iti tunggal nangato a turod ken iti sirok ti tunggal nalangto a kayo, sika a mannakikamalala.
"For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, 'I will not serve;' for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.
21 Ngem siak a mismo ti nangimula kenka a kas iti napili nga ubas, maysa a napintas a bukel. Ngem anian ta nagbalbaliwka kaniak, nagbalinka a kasla nalungtot nga ubas nga awan serserbina!
Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?
22 Ta uray no dalusam ti bagim iti karayan wenno agusarka iti napigsa a sabon, ti basolmo ket mansa latta iti sangoanak—daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.
For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me," says the LORD.
23 Kasano a maibagam, 'Saanak a natulawan! Saanak a nagdayaw kadagiti Baal?' Kitaem ti kababalinmo kadagiti tanap! Ammirisem ti inaramidmo, sika a napartak a kamelio a taray a taray!
"How can you say, 'I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals'? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24 Naatapka nga asno, a naruam iti let-ang, agtartarigagay iti biag ken agal-al-al iti awan serserbina nga angin! Siasino ti makapasardeng iti daytoy inton agmaya? Siasinoman nga agsapul iti daytoy ket saan a mabannog. Mapanda iti daytoy iti kabulanan ti panagmayana.
a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.
25 Masapul a lappedam dagiti sakam nga agsakasaka ken ti karabukobmo iti pannakawaw! Ngem kinunam, 'Awan namnama! Saan, pagaayatko dagiti ganggannaet ket surotek ida!”
"Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.'
26 Kas iti pannakaibabain iti agtatakaw no kasta a matakuatan isuna, kastanto met ti pannakaibabain ti balay ti Israel—isuda, dagiti arida, dagiti prinsipeda, ken dagiti papadi ken profetada!
As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their officials, and their priests, and their prophets;
27 Isuda dagiti nangibaga iti kayo, 'Sika ti amak,' ken iti bato, 'Impasngaynak.' Gapu ta ti likudda ti nakasango kaniak a saan ket a dagiti rupada. Nupay kasta, ibagbagada iti tiempo ti riribuk, 'Tumakderka ket isalakannakami!'
who tell wood, 'You are my father;' and a stone, 'You have brought me out:' for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, 'Arise, and save us.'
28 Ngem sadino ti ayan dagiti didiosen nga inaramidmo para kenka? Tumakderda koma ngarud a no tarigagayda nga isalakandaka kadagiti tiempo a mariribukanka, ta agpada ti bilang dagiti didiosem kadagiti siudadmo, sika Juda!
"But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble. For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they were sacrificing to Baal.
29 Isu nga apay nga akusarandak a nakaaramidak iti biddut? Aminkayo ket nagbasol kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
"Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me," says the LORD.
30 Awan serserbina ti panangdusak kadagiti tattaoyo. Saanda nga awaten ti panangiwanwanko. Inalun-on ti kampilanyo dagiti profetayo a kas iti naranggas a leon!
"I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 Dakayo a maibilang iti daytoy a henerasion! Ipangagyo ti saok, a sao ni Yahweh! Nagbalinak kadi a let-ang iti Israel? Wenno daga a kasta unay iti kinasipngetna? Apay nga ibaga dagiti tattaok, 'Mapankami iti sadinoman a kaykayatmi, saankamin nga umay kenka'?
Generation, consider the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, 'We have broken loose. We will come to you no more?'
32 Malipatan kadi ti birhen ti alahasna, ti nobia dagiti belona? Ngem nalipatannak dagiti tattaok iti saan a mabilang nga aldaw!
"Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.
33 Anian a panangaramidmo iti amin a kabaelam nga agbirok iti ayat. Insurom pay dagiti wagasmo kadagiti nadangkes a babbai.
How well you prepare your way to seek love. Therefore you have taught even the wicked women your ways.
34 Ti dara nga isu ti biag dagiti awan nakabasolanna, a napanglaw a tattao ket nasarakan kadagiti kawesmo. Dagitoy a tattao ket saan a nasarakan nga agar-aramid iti panagtakaw.
Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.
35 Ngem ketdi, iti laksid amin dagitoy a banbanag, ibagbagam latta, 'Awan basolko. Awan duadua a bimmaawen ti pungtot ni Yahweh kaniak.' Ngem kitaem! Maukomkanto agsipud ta kunam, 'Saanak a nagbasol.'
"Yet you said, 'I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.' "Look, I will judge you, because you say, 'I have not sinned.'
36 Apay a nalag-an laeng ti panangibilangmo iti daytoy a panagbaliw kadagiti wagasmo? Paayennakanto met ti Egipto, a kas iti pannakapaaymo iti Asiria.
Why do you go about so much to change your way? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 Rummuarkanto met sadiay a naliday, a nakaparabaw dagiti imam iti ulom, ta linaksid ni Yahweh dagiti pagtaltalkam, isu a saandaka a matulongan dagitoy.”
From there also you shall go forth, with your hands on your head; for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.
