Jeremias 22
1 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Sumalogka iti balay ti ari iti Juda ket iwaragawagmo daytoy a sao sadiay.
This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
2 Kunaem, 'Ari ti Juda, sika a nakatugaw iti trono ni David, dumngegka iti sao ni Yahweh. Ket dakayo nga ad-adipenna, ken dakayo a tattaona a sumsumrek kadagitoy a ruangan dumngegkayo.
‘You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler [MTY], like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
3 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Agaramidkayo iti maiparbeng ken kinalinteg, ket siasinoman a natakawan - ispalenyo isuna manipud iti ima ti manangidadanes. Saanyo a pagaramidan iti dakes ti siasinoman a ganggannaet iti dagayo, wenno siasinoman nga ulila, wenno balo. Saankayo nga agaramid iti kinaranggas wenno mangpasayasay iti dara ti awan basolna iti daytoy a lugar.
to what Yahweh says: “Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them. Stop doing evil things. Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here [in Jerusalem] [MTY] those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
4 Ta no pudno nga aramidenyo dagitoy a banbanag, dagiti ar-ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David ket sumrekto kadagiti ruangan daytoy a balay a nakasakay iti karuwahe ken kadagiti kabalio. Isuna, dagiti adipenna, ken dagiti tattaona!
If you obey those commands carefully, there will [always] be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here [MTY] [in Jerusalem]. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
5 Ngem no saankayo a dumngeg kadagitoy a sasao a naggapu kaniak nga inwaragawagko - daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh - madadaelto ngarud daytoy a palasio.
But if you refuse to pay attention to those commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, with myself [MTY] as a witness, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.”’”
6 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipanggep iti palasio ti ari iti Juda, “Maiyarigka kaniak iti Galaad, wenno iti tuktok ti Lebanon. Nupay kasta, pagbalinenkanto a let-ang, kadagiti siudad nga awan iti agnanaed.
And this is what Yahweh says about the king’s palace: “[I like] this palace, like I like the forests in the Gilead [region] and the mountains in Lebanon. But I will cause this palace to become a desert, a place that no one lives in.
7 Ta nangdutokak kadagiti umay mangdadael kenka! Pukawento dagiti lallaki a nagtagiigam dagiti kasasayaatan a sedrom ket bay-andanto dagitoy a matumba iti apuy.
I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace; each of their soldiers will use his own tools [to wreck the building]. They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar [beams] and throw them into a fire.”
8 Ket adu a nasion ti lumabasto iti daytoy a siudad. Kunaento ti tunggal tao iti kaabayna, “Apay nga inaramid ni Yahweh ti kastoy iti daytoy a naindaklan a siudad?”
People from many nations will walk past [the ruins of] this city and say to each other, “Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was [very] great?”
9 Ket sumungbatto ti met ti maysa, “Gapu ta tinallikudanda ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosda ket nagrukbabda kadagiti dadduma a dios ken nagdaydayawda kadakuada.”
And [other] people will reply, “[He did it] because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped [DOU] other gods.”
10 Saanyo a sangitan ti natay. Saanyo a dung-awan isuna. Ngem rumbeng a sangitanyo ti siasinoman a maipanaw a kas balud, ta saanton nga agsubli ket saannanton a makita pay ti daga a nakaiyanakanna.'
[Yahweh also says, ] “Do not mourn for King [Josiah]; do not cry because he has died. Instead, mourn for [King Jehoahaz, his son], [because] he will be captured and taken to another country, and he will never return to see his own country, [Judah], again.”
11 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Jehoahaz a lalaki a putot ni Josias nga ari iti Juda, a nagserbi a kas ari a simmukat kenni ni Josias nga amana, 'Pimmanawen iti daytoy a disso ket saanen nga agsubli pay.
Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, [died], but Jehoahaz indeed was captured and taken [to Babylonia]. And this is what Yahweh says about him: “He also will never return [to Judah].
12 Matayto isuna iti daydiay a lugar a nangipananda kenkuana a kas balud ket saannanton a pulos a makita pay daytoy a daga.'
He will die in that far-away country and will never see his own country again.”
13 Asi pay ti siasinoman a mangipatakder iti balayna iti kinakillo ken kadagti akinngato a siledna iti saan a maiparbeng nga aramid; kenkuana a nagtrabahoan dagiti dadduma, ngem saanna ida a tangdanan.
[And Yahweh said to me], “Terrible things will happen to [King Jehoahaz’s brother, King Jehoiakim]. He unjustly [forced men to] build his palace. The rooms on the upper level were built [by men who were forced] unjustly [to do that work]; he forced his neighbors to work for nothing; he did not pay them anything.
14 Asi pay ti siaqsinoman nga agkuna, 'Mangipatakderak iti nangato a balay a maipaay kaniak ken nalawa nga akinngato a silsiled, ken mangaramid pay kadagiti nalawa a tawtawa a maipaay kenkuana, ken mabobedaan iti sedro ken pintaanna amin iti nalabaga.'
He said, ‘I will [force my workers to] build a huge beautiful palace with very large rooms and [many] windows. They will cover the walls with [fragrant] cedar panels/timber and paint them bright red.’”
15 Daytoy kadi iti mamagbalin kenka a nasayaat nga ari, ta kayatmo ti maaddaan iti sedro a pagnaedan? Saan kadi a nangan ken imminum met ti amam, nupay kasta, inaramidna ti maiparbeng ken kinalinteg? Ket nasayaat dagiti banbanag a napasamak kenkuana.
But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great! Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink. But Josiah always did things that are right and just, and that is why God blessed him.
16 Insakitna dagiti napanglaw ken dagiti agkasapulan. Nasayaat ti pasamak idi. Saan kadi a kastoy ti kayatna a sawen iti pannakaam-ammo kaniak? — daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Josiah acted justly/fairly and helped poor and needy people, so things went well for him. Yahweh says, “That is [RHQ] the way a person should behave who knows me.
17 Ngem awanen sabali pay nga adda kadagita matam ken pusom no di laeng ti panagagummo ken ti panangpasayasaymo iti dara dagiti awan basolna, iti panangirurumen ken panangranggas iti dadduma a tattao.
But [Jehoiakim], you [MTY] are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly. You murder [MTY] innocent people, you oppress poor people, and you treat people cruelly and violently.”
18 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Jehoiakim a putot a lalaki ni Josias nga ari iti Juda: Saandanto nga agdung-aw gapu kenkuana a kunada 'Asika pay, kabsatko a lalaki!” wenno “Asika pay, kabsatko a babai!” Saandanto a dung-awan isuna iti 'Asika pay, nga apo!' wenno 'Asika pay, a madaydayaw!'
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah: “[When he dies], people will not mourn for him. They will not say to each other, ‘It is very sad; we are so sorry!’ The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying, ‘We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things [that happened while he was king are ended].’
19 Maitanemto isuna a kas iti pannakaitanem ti maysa nga asno, maiparangguyod ken maiwalang iti ruar dagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem.
[When he dies, people will do to] his corpse what they do to a dead donkey; his [corpse] will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
20 Sumang-atka kadagiti banbantay iti Lebanon ket agpukkawka. Iriawmo ti timekmo idiay Basan. Agpukkawka manipud kadagiti banbantay ti Abarim, ta madadaelto dagiti amin a gagayyemmo.
[You people of Judah], go to [the mountains in] Lebanon and weep, shout in the [mountains of the] Bashan [region], cry out in [the mountains of] Moab, because all your friends [in those areas] have been destroyed.
21 Nakisaoak kenka idi natalgedka, ngem kinunam, 'Saanakto a dumngeg.' Ta daytoy ti kababalinmo manipud kinaubingmo, ta saanka a dimngeg iti timekko.
When you were prosperous, I warned you, but you replied, ‘We will not pay attention [to what you say].’ You have been acting like that since you were young; you have never obeyed me.
22 Itayabto ti angin dagiti amin a mangipaspastormo, ken maipanawto a kas balud dagiti gagayyemmmo. Ket pudno unay a mabainankanto ken maibabakanto gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inar-aramidmo.
[So, now I will punish] all your leaders; [it will be as though] they have been blown away by the wind. They will be captured [by your enemies] and taken to another country. When that happens, you will [truly] be ashamed and disgraced because of all the wicked things [that you have done].
23 Sika nga ari, sika nga agnanaed iti Balay iti Kabakiran ti Lebanon, sika nga agum-umok kadagiti sedro, anian a nakakaasikanto inton dumteng kenka ti kasta unay a panagrigat a kas iti ut-ot ti panagpasikal.”
[Now, your king] enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace, but [soon] he will be punished, and then he will groan like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
24 “Isapatak— daytoy ket kuna ni Yahweh—uray no sika, Jehoiachin a putot a lalaki ni Jehoiakim, nga ari ti Juda, ti singsing a pangselio nga adda iti makannawan nga imak, lapsutenka iti imak.
Yahweh says this: “Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, [I will punish you]. Even if you were the ring on my finger that shows that I am the king, I would pull you off.
25 Ta naiyawatka iti ima dagiti aggangandat iti biagmo ken kadagiti pagbutbutngam, iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari iti Babilonia ken kadagiti Caldeo.
You are afraid of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his huge army, [because] they are wanting to kill you. I will enable them to capture you.
26 Ibellengkanto ken ti inam a nangiyanak kenka, iti daga a saanyo a nakaiyanakan. Sadiayto ti pakatayanyo.
I will expel you and your mother [from this land], and you will be taken to another country. Neither of you was born there, but you will both die there.
27 Ket no maipapan iti daytoy a daga a kayatdanto a pagsublian, saandanton a makasubli ditoy.
You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to.”
28 Daytoy kadi ket nauy-uyaw ken naburak a pagkargaan? Daytoy kadi a lalaki a ni Jehoiachin ket maysa a banga nga awan iti maay-ayona? Apay nga imbellengda isuna ken dagiti kaputotanna, ken impurruakda ida iti daga a saanda nga ammo?
[Someone said, ] “Jehoiachin will be [RHQ] like a broken pot that is despised and which no one wants. He and his children will be (exiled/forced to go) to a foreign land.
29 Daga, Daga, Daga! Denggem ti sao ni Yahweh!
[I want] the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.”
30 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Isuratyo ti maipapan iti daytoy a lalaki a ni Jehoiachin: Awanto iti putotna. Saanto a rumang-ay kadagiti al-aldawna, ta awanto ti siasinoman kadagiti kaputotanna ti makagun-od iti panagballigi wenno agtugaw manen iti trono ni David ken agturay iti Juda.'”
This is what Yahweh says: “[In the record about the kings of Judah, ] write down that [it will be as though] this man [Jehoiachin] had no children, and that he has not been successful during his life, because none of his children/descendants will [ever] become king to rule over [the people of] Judah.”
