Jeremias 21
1 Kastoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh idi imbaon ni ari Zedekias da Pasur a putot ni Malakias ken Sofonias a putot ni Maasias a padi. Kinunada kenkuana,
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
2 “Agpabalakadka kenni Yahweh para kadakami, gapu ta gubatennatayo ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia. Nalabit a mangaramid ni Yahweh iti milagro para kadakami, kas iti naglabas a tiempo, ket pagsanudenna ni Nebucadnezar kadakami.”
“Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
3 Isu a kinuna ni Jeremias kadakuada, “Kastoy ti masapul nga ibagayo kenni Sedekias,
Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
4 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangisublik kadagiti armas nga adda kadagiti imayo a panggubgubatyo iti ari ti Babilonia ken kadagiti Caldeo a manglaklakub kadakayo iti ruar dagiti pader! Ta ummongekto ida iti tengnga daytoy a siudad.
‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.
5 Ket siak a mismo ti makiranget kadakayo babaen iti pannakabalin ken kinapigsak ken babaen iti nakaro unay a pungtotko.
I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Ta rautekto dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a siudad, tao man wenno ayup. Mataydanto babaen iti nakaru a pannakadidigra.
I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence.
7 Kalpasan daytoy-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- ni Sedekias nga ari ti Juda, dagiti adipenna, dagiti tattao, ken siasinoman a nabati iti daytoy a siudad kalpasan ti didigra babaen iti kampilan ken panagbisin-Iyawatkonto amin dagitoy iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia, kadagiti kabusorda, ken kadagiti mangpapatay kadakuada. Ket papatayennanto ida babaen iti kampilan. Saannanto ida a kaasian wenno kailalaan.
Afterward,” says the LORD, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
8 Ket kastoy ti masapul nga ibagam kadagitoy a tattao, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adtoy, umadanin nga ikabilko iti sangoananyo ti dalan ti biag ken ti dalan ti patay.
“You shall say to this people, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Siasinoman nga agtaltalinaed iti daytoy a siudad ket matayto babaen iti kampilan, bisin ken didigra; ngem siasinoman a rumuar ken agparintumeng iti sangoanan dagiti Caldeo a nanglakub kadakayo ket agbiag. Maisalbarnanto ti biagna.
He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.
10 Ta inkeddengkon ti mangiyeg iti didigra iti daytoy a siudad, a saan ket a mangiyeg iti pagsayaatan-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Naiyawaten daytoy iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia, ket puorannanto daytoy.'
For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
11 No maipapan iti balay ti ari ti Juda, denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh.
“Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the LORD’s word:
12 O balay ni David, kuna ni Yahweh, 'Ipatungpalyo ti hustisia iti agsapa. Ispalenyo ti tao a natakawan babaen iti ima ti manangidadanes, ta no saan gumil-ayabto a kasla apuy ti pungtotko ket pumuor. Ta awan ti makaiddep iti daytoy gapu iti kinadakes dagiti ar-aramidenyo.
House of David, the LORD says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Kitaenyo, dakayo nga agnanaed iti tanap! Kabusorkayo, dakkel a bato iti patad-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-Kabusorko ti siasinoman a mangibagbaga, “Siasino ngay koma ti sumalog a mangraut kadatayo?” wenno “Siasino ngay koma ti sumrek kadagiti babbalaytayo?”
Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says the LORD. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
14 Naikeddengkon a sagrapenyo ti bunga dagiti ar-aramidyo- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-mangpasgedakto kadagiti kasamekan, ket puorannanto ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawna.
I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
