Jeremias 23

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

Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith 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.

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith 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 the remnant of my flock from all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

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 set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith 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 come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute 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 his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name by which he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

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.'

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought the children of Israel out of 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, The LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall dwell 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.

My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

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 land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

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 prophet and priest are profane; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith 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—

Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery paths in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, saith 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 folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

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!”

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as 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.”

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

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 saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of 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.'

They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon 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 hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked 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, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

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 anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

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

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

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.

But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

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?

Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?

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.

Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith 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 said, that prophesy lies in my name, 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 shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of 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.

Who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for 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 that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

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

Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

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, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

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, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

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 them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their reckless boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith 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.

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith 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, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and 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?’

Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?

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 shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye 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?'

Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath 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 since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not 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.

Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

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

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
