Jeremias 23

1 “Asi pay dagiti agpaspastor a mangdadael ken mangiwarawara kadagiti karnero ti pagpaarabak— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”

“Woe to the shepherds who scatter and tear apart the sheep of my pasture, says the Lord.

2 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel maipapan kadagiti agpaspastor a mangay-aywan kadagiti tattaona, “Warwaraenyo dagiti arbanko ken pagtaltalawenyo ida. Awan a pulos iti panangisakityo kadakuada. Ammoenyo daytoy! Supapakankayonto gapu kadagiti dakes nga ar-aramidyo—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.

Because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the shepherds who pasture my people: You have scattered my flock, and you have driven them away, and you have not visited them. Behold, I will visit upon you because of your evil pursuits, says the Lord.

3 Siak a mismo ti mangurnong kadagiti nabatbati nga arbanko manipud kadagiti amin a dagdaga a nangipaturongak kadakuada, ket isublikto ida iti lugar a pagaraban, a sadiay ket agbalindanto a nabunga ken umaduda.

And I will gather together the remnant of my flock from the entire earth, from the places to which I had cast them out. And I will return them to their own fields. And they will increase and be multiplied.

4 Ket mangpataudakto kadagiti agpaspastor a mangaywan kadakuada a mangaywan ket saandanton nga agbuteng wenno agamak. Awanto kadakuada iti mapukaw— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.

And I will raise up shepherds over them, and they will pasture them. They will no longer dread, and they will no longer fear. And no one among their number will be seeking more, says the Lord.

5 Kitaenyo, dumteng dagiti al-aldaw— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— Inton mangisaadak iti nalinteg a sanga maipaay kenni David. Agturayto isuna a kas ari; mangiyegto isuna iti kinarang-ay ken ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg iti daga.

Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch. And a king will reign, and he will be wise. And he will exercise judgment and justice upon the earth.

6 Kadagiti al-aldawna ket maispalto ti Juda, ken agbiagto a sitatalged ti Israel. Ket kastoy ti nagan a maiyawagto kenkuana; Ni Yahweh ti Kinalintegtayo.

In those days, Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’

7 Ngarud kitaenyo, dumtengto dagiti al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton saandanton pulos nga ibaga, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a nangiruar kadagiti tattao ti Israel manipud iti daga ti Egipto.'

Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when they will no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt,’

8 Ngem ketdi kunadanto, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a nangiruar ken nangisubli kadagiti kaputotan iti balay ti Israel manipud iti akin-amianan a daga ken kadagiti amin a dagdaga a naipananda.' Ket agnaeddanto iti bukodda a daga.”

but instead, ‘As the Lord lives, who led away and brought back the offspring of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from the entire earth,’ from the places to which I had cast them out. And they will live in their own land.”

9 Maipapan kadagiti profeta, nadagsen ti barukongko iti kaunggak, ken agpigerger amin a tultulangko. Kayarigak ti lalaki a nabartek, lalaki nga inturayan ti arak, gapu kenni Yahweh ken iti nasantoan a sasaona.

To the prophets: “My heart is crushed within me. All my bones are trembling. I have become like an inebriated man, and like a man maddened by wine, before the face of the Lord, and before the face of his holy words.

10 Ta napunno ti daga kadagiti mannakikamalala. Gapu iti daytoy ket agdung-aw ti daga. Magango dagiti ruot iti pagaraban idiay let-ang. Nadangkes ti daldalan dagitoy a profeta; saan a nausar iti umno a wagas ti kinabilegda.

For the earth is full of adulterers! And the earth has mourned before the face of evil talk. The plains of the desert have dried up, and their course has become hazardous, and their firmness has become uneven.”

11 Ta agpadpada a narugitan dagiti profeta ken dagiti papadi. Nasarakak pay ti kinadangkesda iti uneg ti balayko! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—

“For both the prophet and the priest have become polluted, and I have found their wickedness within my own house, says the Lord.

12 isu a dagiti daldalanda ket kaslanto iti maysa a nagalis a lugar iti kasipngetan. Maitublakdanto. Matuangdanto iti daytoy. Ta mangiyegakto kadakuada ti didigra iti tawen a pannakadusada— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—

For this reason, their way will be like a slippery path in the dark. For they will be impelled forward, and they will fall in it. For I will bring evils over them, in the year of their visitation, says the Lord.

13 ta adda nakitak a kinadakes kadagiti profeta iti Samaria. Nagipadtoda iti nagan ni Baal ket inturongda dagiti tattaok nga Israel iti nakillo a pagnaan.

And I have seen the foolishness of the prophets of Samaria. They have prophesied in Baal, and they have deceived my people Israel.

14 Ket kadagiti profeta iti Jerusalem, nakakitaak kadagiti nakarimrimon a banbanag: Makikamkamalalada ken agbibiagda iti kinamangallilaw. Papigsaenda dagiti im-ima dagiti managdakdakes; awan ti mangtallikod iti kinadakesna. Nagbalinda amin kaniak a kas iti Sodoma ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy ket kas iti Gomora!”

And in the prophets of Jerusalem, I have seen the likeness of adulterers and the path of falsehood. And they have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that each one would not convert from his malice. They have all become to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants have become like Gomorrah.”

15 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kadagiti profeta, “Kitaenyo, ngannganin ti panangpakanko kadakuada iti napait a makan ken painumek ida iti danum a makasabidong, ta manipud kadagiti profeta ti Jerusalem rimmuar ti kinarugit iti amin a daga.”

Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts to the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them absinthe, and I will give them gall to drink. For from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth over the entire earth.”

16 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, “Saankayo a dumngeg kadagiti sasao dagiti profeta nga agipadpadto kadakayo. Ta iyaw-awandakayo! Ta agiwaragawagda kadagiti sirmata manipud kadagiti bukodda a panunot, saan a nagtaud iti ngiwat ni Yahweh.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you and deceive you. They speak a vision from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.

17 Kankanayonda nga ibagbaga kadagiti saan nga agraem kaniak, 'Ipakpakaammo ni Yahweh nga addanto talna kadakayo.' Ken kuna ti tunggal maysa nga agbibiag segun iti bukodda a pagayatan, 'Awanto ti dumteng a didigra kadakayo.'

To those who blaspheme me, they say: ‘The Lord has said: You shall have peace.’ And to everyone who walks in the depravity of his own heart, they have said: ‘No evil will overwhelm you.’”

18 Ngem siasino kadi ti nakitaripnong iti konseho ni Yahweh? Siasino kadi ti mangsuksukimat ken mangdengngeg iti saona? Siasino kadi ti dumdumngeg ken mangipangpangag iti saona?

For who has been present in the counsel of the Lord, and who has seen and heard his word? Who has considered his word and heard it?

19 Kitaenyo, adda bagio nga aggapu kenni Yahweh! Ti rungsot ti pungtotna ket rummuar, ken adda kasla alipugpog nga agliklikaw. Agliklikaw daytoy kadagiti ulo dagiti nadangkes.

Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord’s indignation will go forth, and a tempest will break out; it will overwhelm the head of the impious.

20 Ti pungtot ni Yahweh ket saanto nga agsardeng agingga a maaramidna daytoy ken maipatungpalna dagiti pinanggep ti pusona. Kadagiti maud-udi nga al-aldaw, maawatanyonto daytoy.

The fury of the Lord will not return until it succeeds, and until it completes the plan of his heart. In the last days, you will understand this counsel.

21 Saanko nga imbaon dagitoy a profeta. Nagparangda lattan. Awan iti impakaammok kadakuada, ngem nagipadtoda latta.

“I did not send these prophets, yet they hurry forward. I was not speaking to them, yet they were prophesying.

22 Ta no nakitaripnongda koma iti panaguumong ti konsehok, ti soak koma ti imbagada kadagiti tattaok; ket pinagtallikudda koma dagitoy manipud iti kinadangkesda ken kadagiti dakes nga ar-aramidda.

If they had stood in my counsel, and if I had made my words known to my people, certainly I would have turned them away from their evil ways and from their most wicked plans.

23 Maysaak kadi laeng a Dios nga adda iti asideg—kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh - ken saan aya a siak ket Dios nga adda met laeng iti adayo?

Do you not realize that I am a God close by, says the Lord, and not a God far away?

24 Mabalin kadi nga aglemmeng ti maysa a tao iti nalemmeng a lugar tapno saanko a makita? — kastoy iti pakaammo ni Yahweh— ken saan aya a pinunnok ti daga ken ti langit? — kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.

If a man is hidden in concealed places, do I not see him, says the Lord? Do I not fill up heaven and earth, says the Lord?

25 Nangngegko dagiti imbaga dagiti profeta, dagidiay agipadpadto iti naganko iti inaallilaw. Kinunada, ‘Adda tagtagainepko! Adda tagtagainepko!'

I have heard what the prophets have said, prophesying falsehoods in my name, and also saying: ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’

26 Kasanonto pay kabayag ti panagtultuloy daytoy, dagiti profeta nga agipadpadto iti inuulbod manipud kadagiti panunotda, ken agipadpadto manipud iti panangallilaw kadagiti puspusoda?

How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who predict what is false, and who prophesy deceptions from their own heart?

27 Ti pananglipat dagiti tattaok iti naganko ti panggepda babaen kadagiti tagtagainep nga ipadpadamagda, tunggal maysa iti karrubana, kas iti pananglipat dagiti kapuonanda iti naganko maigapu iti nagan ni Baal.

They want to cause my people to forget my name, by means of their dreams, which each of them describes to his neighbor, just as their fathers forgot my name for the sake of Baal.

28 Ti profeta nga addaan iti tagtagainep, ipadamagna koma ti tagtagainepna. Ngem ti tao a nangipakaammoak iti maysa a banag, sipupudno koma nga ipakaammona ti sao. Ania koma ti pakainaigan ti garami iti bukel? - kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh —

The prophet who has had a dream, let him describe the dream. And he who receives my word, let him speak my word in truth. For what has the chaff to do with the wheat, says the Lord?

29 ken saan aya a kasla apuy ti saok? - kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh - ken kasla martilio a mangburak iti bato?

Are not my words like a fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer crushing rock?

30 Isu a kitaenyo, kabusorko dagiti profeta— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh - siasinoman nga agtakaw iti sasao manipud iti sabali a tao ken ibagana a nagtaud kaniak.

Therefore, behold: I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal my words, each one from his neighbor.

31 Kitaenyo, kabusorko dagiti profeta - kastoy iti pakaammo ni Yahweh – a mangus-usar kadagiti dilada a mangipadto kadagiti pakaammo.

Behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who take up their tongues and say: ‘The Lord says it.’

32 Kitaenyo, kabusorko dagiti profeta a mangibagbaga nga adda tagtagainepda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ket kalpasanna iwaragawagda dagitoy ket iti kastoy a wagas maiyaw-awan dagiti tattaok gapu iti panangallilaw ken panagpannakkelda. Kabusorko ida, ta saanko ida nga imbaon wenno inikkan kadagiti bilbilin. Isu a sigurado a saanda a makatulong kadagitoy a tattao - kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.

Behold, I am against the prophets, who dream what is false, says the Lord; who explain and so seduce my people with their falsehoods and with their miracles, though I did not send them, nor did I command them. They have offered nothing beneficial to this people, says the Lord.

33 Inton agsaludsud kenka dagitoy a tattao, wenno maysa a profeta, wenno maysa a padi a kunada, 'Ania ti pakaammo ni Yahweh? ket masapul a kunaem kadakuada, 'Ania a pakaammo? Gapu ta binaybay-ankayo'— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.

Therefore, if this people, or a prophet, or a priest questions you, saying, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden. And certainly I will cast you away, says the Lord.’

34 No maipapan met kadagiti profeta, papadi, ken tattao a mangibagbaga, 'Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh,' Dusaekto dayta a tao ken ti balayna.

And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people who say, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ I will visit upon that man and upon his house.

35 Itultuloyyo nga ibagbaga, tunggal maysa iti karrubana ken tunggal maysa iti kabsatna, 'Ania ti sungbat ni Yahweh?' ken ‘Ania ti pakaammo ni Yahweh?’

And then you will speak in this way, each one to his neighbor and to his brother: ‘What has the Lord answered? And what has the Lord said?’

36 Ngem masapul a saanyon a sawen ti maipapan iti pakaammo ni Yahweh, agsipud ta ti tunggal ibaga ti tunggal tao ket agbalin a bukodna a mensahe, ket kinilloyo dagiti sasao ti sibibiag a Dios, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Diostayo.

And the burden of the Lord will no longer be called to mind. For each one’s own word will be a burden. For you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts, our God.

37 Kastoy ti rumbeng a saludsodem iti profeta, 'Ania ti sungbat ni Yahweh kenka? Ania ti imbaga ni Yahweh?'

And then you will speak in this way to the prophet: ‘What has the Lord answered you? And what has the Lord spoken?’

38 Ket ipadamagyo ti pakaammo manipud kenni Yahweh, ngem kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Kunayo, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh,” uray no nangipatulodak iti bilin kadakayo a kunak, “Saanyo nga ibaga: Kastoy ti pakaammmo manipud kenni Yahweh.”

But if you say, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ then because of this, thus says the Lord: Since you have spoken this word, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ though I sent to you telling you not to say: ‘The burden of the Lord,’

39 Ngarud, kitaenyo, pidutenkayo ken ipurruakkayo a maiyadayo kaniak, kasta met dagaiti siudad nga intedko kadakayo ken kadagiti kapuonanyo.

because of this, behold, I will take you away, like a burden, and I will forsake you, as well as the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, before my face.

40 Kalpasanna ipalak-amkonto kadakayo ti agnanayon a pannakaibabain ken pannakauyaw a saanto a malipatan.'”

And I will give you over to an everlasting reproach and an eternal disgrace, which shall never be wiped away into oblivion.”
