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 to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, 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, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, had 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 to 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:

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

'Build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit.

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 wives, and father sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and do not be 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.'

Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you shall 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Do not let your prophets who are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you; neither listen to your dreams which you 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 to you in my name: I have not sent them,' says 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 says the LORD, 'After seventy years are accomplished for 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 plans that I have for you,' says the LORD, 'plans for your welfare, and not for calamity, to give you hope and a future.

12 Ket umawagkayonto kaniak, ken agkararagkayto kaniak ket denggenkayto.

You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

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

You shall seek me, and find me, when you 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.'

I will be found by you,' says the LORD, 'and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,' says the LORD; 'and I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.'

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

"Because you have said, 'The LORD has 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—

thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven't 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 says the LORD of hosts; 'Look, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that can't be eaten, they are so bad.

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.

I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where 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 listened to my words,' says the LORD, 'with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,' says 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 therefore the word of the LORD, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent away 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahiab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: 'Look, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall kill 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 captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, "The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahiab, 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 worked folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I did not command them; and I am he who knows, and am witness,' says the LORD."

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

"Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, 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 speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, "Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who 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 has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.

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 have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes 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.''”

because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, "The captivity is long: build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit?"'"'

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

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 to 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 says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: "Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I did not send him, and he has 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 says the LORD, "Look, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his offspring; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he see the good that I will do to my people, says the LORD, because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD."'"
