Jeremias 29

1 Dagitoy dagiti sasao a nailanad iti nalukot a pagbasaan nga impatulod ni Jeremias manipud Jerusalem kadagiti nabatbati a panglakayen kadagiti natiliw, kadagiti papadi, kadagiti profeta, ken kadagiti amin a tattao nga impanaw ni Nebucadnezar a kas balud manipud Jerusalem nga impanna idiay Babilonia.

Now these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

2 Daytoy ket kalpasan a naipanaw manipud Jerusalem ni Jehoiachin nga ari, ti reyna, dagiti nangangato nga opisial, dagiti mangidadaulo iti Juda ken Jerusalem, ken dagiti nalaing a pumapanday.

(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem; )

3 Impatulodna daytoy a nalukot a pagbasaan babaen kenni Elasa a putot ni Sapan, kenni Gemaria a putot ni Hilkia nga imbaon ni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda a mapan kenni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia.

By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,

4 Kastoy ti nailanad iti nalukot a pagbasaan, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel kadagiti amin a natiliw ken impaipanawko manipud Jerusalem a naipan a kas balud idiay Babilonia,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

5 'Mangipatakderkayo kadagiti balbalay ket pagnaedanyo dagitoy. Mulaanyo dagiti pagmulaan ket kanenyo ti ibunga dagitoy.

Build ye houses, and dwell [in them; ] and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

6 Mangasawakayo ket aganakkayo iti lallaki ken babbai. Ket pangasawaenyo dagiti annakyo a lallaki, ken panagsawaenyo dagiti annakyo a babbai. Bay-anyo nga aganakda iti lallaki ken babbai ken umadokayo sadiay a saan ket a bumassit ti bilangyo.

Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

7 Ti pagsayaatan ti siudad a nangipanak kadakayo a kas balud ti aramidenyo, ken agkararagkayo kaniak para iti daytoy agsipud ta addanto kappia kadakayo no natalna daytoy.'

And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

8 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, 'Saanyo nga itulok nga allilawendakayo dagiti profeta nga adda kadakayo ken dagiti mammoyonyo ken saankayo a mamati kadagiti matagtagainepyo.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that [be] in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

9 Ta inaallilaw ti ipadpadtoda kadakayo iti naganko. Saanko ida nga imbaon—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'

For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

10 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Inton inturayannakayon ti Babilonia iti pitopulo a tawen, tulongankayo ken ipatungpalko ti nasayaat nga imbagak nga isublikayo iti daytoy a lugar.

For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

11 Ta ammok a mismo dagiti planok para kadakayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—dagiti plano para iti kappia a saan ket a didigra, nga ikkankayo iti nasayaat a masakbayan ken namnama.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

12 Ket umawagkayonto kaniak, ken agkararagkayto kaniak ket denggenkayto.

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13 Ta birokendakto ket masarakandakto, agsipud ta binirokdak iti amin a pusoyo.

And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

14 Ket masarakandakto—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ket isublik ti sigud a nasayaat a kasasaadyo; ummongenkayto manipud kadagiti amin a nasion ken luglugar a nangiwarawaraak kadakayo—ta isublikayto iti lugar a naggapuanyo manipud iti lugar nga intulokko a pakaipananyo a kas balud.'

And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

15 Agsipud ta kinunayo a nangisaad ni Yahweh kadagiti profeta para kadakami idiay Babilonia,

Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

16 kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh iti ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David ken kadagiti amin a tattao nga agigian pay laeng iti dayta a siudad, dagiti kakabsatyo a saan a nairaman kadakayo a naipanaw a kas balud—

[Know] that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, [and] of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

17 kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Kitaenyo, umadanin ti panangiyegko kadakuada iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin ken saksakit. Ta pagbalinekto ida a kasla nalungsot nga igos a saan a mabalin a kanen.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

18 Ket kamatekto ida babaen iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin ken angol ket pagbalinek ida a makapakintayeg iti panagkita dagiti amin a nasion iti rabaw ti daga— maysa a nakabutbuteng, usarendanto ti nagan dagitoy no adda ilunodda, ken maysa a nakababain a banag kadagiti nasion a nangiwarawaraak kadakuada.

And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

19 Daytoy ket gapu ta saanda a dimngeg iti saok— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— nga impakaammok kadakuada babaen kadagiti adipenko a profeta. Namin-adu nga imbaonko ida, ngem saankayo a dimngeg— kastoy ti pakaamo ni Yahweh.'

Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them; ] but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

20 Isu a dakayo a mismo, dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh, aminkayo a naipanaw a kas balud manipud Jerusalem a naipan idiay Babilonia,

Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:

21 'Kastoy ti ibagak, siak a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel maipanggep kenni Ahab a putot ni Kolaiah ken ni Zedekias a putot ni Maaseias, a siuulbod a nagipadto kadakayo babaen iti naganko: Kitaenyo, umadanin ti panangiyawatko kadakuada iti ima ni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia. Patayennanto ida iti sangoananyo.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

22 Ket addanto lunod nga ibaga dagiti amin a naipanaw iti Juda a kas balud idiay Babilonia maipanggep kadagitoy a tattao. Kastoyto ti lunod nga ibagada: Aramidento koma ni Yahweh kadakayo ti kas iti napasamak kenni Zedekias ken Ahab, a pinuoran ti ari ti Babilonia.

And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which [are] in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

23 Mapasamakto daytoy gapu kadagiti nakababain a banag nga inaramidda iti Israel idi nakikamalalada kadagiti assawa dagiti kaarrubada ken nangipakaammoda kadagiti saan a pudno a mensahe babaen iti naganko, banbanag a saanko a pulos nga imbilin kadakuada nga ibagada. Ta siak ti makaammo; siak ti saksi— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'”

Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and [am] a witness, saith the LORD.

24 “Maipanggep kenni Semaias a taga-Nehelam, kastoy ti naibaga:

[Thus] shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

25 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Gapu ta nangipatulodka kadagiti surat kadagiti amin a tattao iti Jerusalem iti bukodmo a nagan, kenni Zefanias a putot ni Maaseias a padi, ken kadagiti amin a papadi, a kinunam,

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that [are] at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

26 'Pinagbalinnaka ni Yahweh a padi imbes a ni Jehoiada a padi, tapno sika ti makaammo iti pagsayaatan ti balay ni Yahweh. Sika ti makaammo kadagiti amin a tattao nga aginlalaing ken mamagbalin kadagiti bagbagida a profeta. Rumbeng nga ibalud ken kawaram ida.

The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man [that is] mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

27 Isu nga ita, apay a saanmo a binabalaw ni Jeremias iti Anatot, a pinagbalinna a profeta ti bagina a maibusor kenka?

Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?

28 Ta nangipatulod isuna iti mensahe kadakami idiay Babilonia a kunana, 'Nabayagto daytoy a tiempo. Mangipatakderkayo kadagiti balbalay ket pagnaedanyo dagitoy, ken agmulakayo ket kanenyo dagiti ibunga dagitoy.''”

For therefore he sent unto us [in] Babylon, saying, This [captivity is] long: build ye houses, and dwell [in them; ] and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

29 Binasa ni Zephaniah a padi daytoy a surat kenni Jeremias a profeta.

And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

30 Isu nga immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias a kunana,

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

31 “Mangipatulodka iti mensahe kadagiti naipanaw a kas balud, ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kenni Shemaias a taga-Nehelam: Gapu ta nagipadto ni Shemaias kadakayo nga uray saanko nga imbaon isuna; gapu ta inallukoynakayo a mamati iti inuulbod,

Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

32 kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh: Dumngegkayo, umadanin ti panangdusak kenni Shemaias a taga-Nehelam ken kadagiti kaputotanna. Awanto ti agtalinaed a kaputotanna. Saannanto a makita ti nasayaat nga aramidekto kadagiti tattaok— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta inwaragawagna ti panagsukir maibusor kaniak, siak a ni Yahweh.'”

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
