< Jeremias 31 >

1 “Iti dayta a tiempo—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—Siakto ti Dios dagiti amin a puli ti Israel ken isudanto ti agbalin a tattaok”
“At that time,” a declaration of YHWH, “I am the God of all families of Israel, And they are My people.”
2 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Dagiti tattao a nakalasat iti kampilan, nga immay mangpatay iti Israel, ket nakasarak iti pabor iti let-ang.”
Thus said YHWH: “A people remaining from the sword Have found grace in the wilderness When Israel went to find rest.”
3 Nagparang kaniak idi ni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Inayatka, Israel, iti agnanayon a panagayat. Isu nga inyasidegka kaniak babaen iti kinapudnok iti tulag.
YHWH has appeared to me from afar, “I have loved you with perpetual love, Therefore I have drawn you [with] kindness.
4 Bangonenkanto manen ket maibangonka, birhen nga Israel. Alaemto manen dagiti panderetam ket rumuarka a siraragsak nga agsalsala.
I build you again, And you have been built, O virgin of Israel, You put on your tambourines again, And have gone out in the chorus of the playful.
5 Agmulakanto manen iti ubas kadagiti banbantay ti Samaria; agmulanto dagiti mannalon ket ganasendanto ti bunga dagiti ubasda.
You plant vineyards in mountains of Samaria again, Planters have planted, and made common.
6 Ta dumtengto ti aldaw inton iwaragawagto dagiti agbanbantay kadagiti banbantay ti Efraim, 'Agrubwatkayo, sumang-attayo idiay Sion, iti ayan ni Yahweh a Diostayo.'''
For there is a day, Watchmen have cried on Mount Ephraim, Rise, and we go up to Zion, to our God YHWH”;
7 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Ipukkawyo ti ragsakyo gapu kenni Jacob! Ipukkawyo ti ragsakyo para iti panguloen a tattao dagiti nasion! Panagdaydayaw koma ti mangngeg. Ibagayo, 'Inispal ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona, dagiti nabatbati iti Israel.'
For thus said YHWH: “Sing [with] joy for Jacob, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound, praise, and say, Save, O YHWH, Your people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Kitaenyo, umadanin ti panangisublik kadakuada manipud kadagiti daga iti amianan. Ummungekto ida manipud kadagiti kaaadaywan a paset ti daga. Karamanto kadakuada dagiti bulsek ken dagiti pilay; Kaduadanto dagiti masikog ken dagiti dandanin nga aganak. Addanto dakkel a taripnong nga agsubli ditoy.
Behold, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Blind and lame [are] among them, Conceiving and travailing one—together, A great assembly—they return here.
9 Umaydanto nga agsangsangit; Idalankonto ida bayat nga agkidkiddawda. Iturongkonto ida iti agay-ayus a danum iti nalinteg a dalan. Saandanto a maitibkol iti daytoy, ta agbalinakto nga ama iti Israel, ket ti Efraim ti agbalinto nga inauna nga anakko.”
They come in with weeping, And I bring them with supplications, I cause them to go to streams of waters, In a right way—they do not stumble in it, For I have been a Father to Israel, And Ephraim—he [is] My firstborn.”
10 “Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a nasion. Ipadamagyo kadagiti ig-igid ti baybay iti adayo a lugar. Dakayo a nasion, masapul nga ibagayo “Ti nangiwarawara iti Israel ket urnungennanto met laeng daytoy ken aywanannanto daytoy a kas iti panangaywan ti maysa nga agpaspastor iti karnerona.''
Hear a word of YHWH, O nations, And declare among the far off in the islands, and say: He who is scattering Israel gathers him, And has kept His flock as a shepherd,
11 Ta sinubbot ni Yahweh ni Jacob ken inispalna daytoy iti ima ti adayo a napigpigsa ngem isuna.
For YHWH has ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
12 kalpasanna, umaydanto ket agrag-odanto iti tapaw ti Sion. Agrag-odanto gapu iti kinaimbag ni Yahweh, gapu iti mais ken iti baro nga arak, gapu iti lana ken gapu kadagiti annak dagiti karnero ken dagiti baka. Ta agbalinto a kasla nasibugan a minuyungan dagiti biagda, ket iti kaanoman, saandanton a makarikna pay iti panagladingit.
And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed to the goodness of YHWH, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul has been as a watered garden, And they do not add to grieve anymore.
13 Ket agsasalanto dagiti birhen gapu iti rag-o, ken agkakadwanto dagiti agtutubo ken dagiti lallakay. Ta sukatakto ti panagladladingitda iti panagrambak. Liwliwaekto ida ken pagbalinek ida a naragsak saan ket a naladingit.
“Then a virgin rejoices in a chorus, Both young men and old men—together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
14 Ket pennekekto iti aglaplapusanan ti panagbiag dagiti papadi. Mapnekto dagiti tattaok iti kinaimbagko—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.''
And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people are satisfied with My goodness,” A declaration of YHWH.
15 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Adda timek a mangmangngegan iti Ramah, dungdung-aw ken nasaem a sangsangit. Ni Raquel daytoy a mangdungdung-aw kadagiti annakna. Saanna a kayat ti paliwliwa gapu kadakuada, ta saandan nga agbibiag pay.”
Thus said YHWH: “A voice is heard in Ramah, Wailing [and] the weeping of bitterness, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She has refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.”
16 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, ''Lapdam ti timekmo iti panagsangit ken dagiti matam iti panaglua; gapu ta adda gunggona iti panagsagsagabam—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— agsublinto dagiti annakmo manipud iti daga dagiti kabusor.
Thus said YHWH: “Withhold your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, For there is a reward for your work,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
17 Adda namnama iti masakbayam—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—agsublinto dagiti kaputotam iti uneg dagiti beddengda.'''
And there is hope for your latter end,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
18 “Pudno a nangngegko ti Efraim nga agladladingit, 'Dinusanak, ket nadusaak. Isublinak a kasla urbon a baka a saan a nasuroan, ket maisubliakto, ta sika ni Yahweh a Diosko.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, You have disciplined me, And I am disciplined, as a heifer [that is] not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For You [are] my God YHWH.
19 Ta kalpasan a tinallikudanka, nagbabawiak; kalpasan a nakasursuroak, dinandanogko ti barukongko iti ladingit. Naibabain ken nalalaisak, ta sinagabak ti basol ti kinaagtutubok.
For after my turning back I regretted, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
20 'Saan aya nga ay-ayatek unay nga anak ni Efraim? Saan aya nga isu ti patpatgek ken pakaay-aywak unay nga anak? Ta tunggal agsaoak iti maibusor kenkuana, pudno a malaglagip ko latta isuna gapu ta ipatpategko isuna. Iti kastoy a wagas, kanayon a sapsapulen isuna daytoy pusok. Awan duadua a kaasiakto isuna—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Is Ephraim a precious son to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I still thoroughly remember him, Therefore My bowels have been moved for him, I love him greatly,” A declaration of YHWH.
21 Mangikabilka kadagiti pagilasinam iti kalsada. Mangikabilka kadagiti poste a pagilasinam. Ipamaysam ti panunotmo iti umno a dalan, ti dalan a rumbeng a turungem. Agsublika, birhen nga Israel! Agsulibka kadagitoy a siudadmo.
“Set up signs for yourself, Make heaps for yourself, Set your heart to the highway, the way you went, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these cities of yours.
22 Kasano pay ti kabayag ti panagsarimadengmo, saan a napudno nga anak a babai? Ta nangparnuay ni Yahweh iti maysa a banag a baro ditoy daga: palpalikmutan dagiti babbai dagiti napipigsa a lallaki tapno salaknibanda dagitoy.
Until when do you withdraw yourself, O backsliding daughter? For YHWH has prepared a new thing in the land, Woman surrounds man.”
23 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, “Inton isublik dagiti tattao kadagiti dagada, kastoyto ti kunaenda iti daga ti Juda ken iti amin a siudadna, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh, sika a nalinteg a disso a pagnanaedanna, sika a nasantoan a bantay.'
Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, YHWH blesses you, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
24 Ta ti Juda ken ti amin a siudadna ket sangsangkamaysanto nga agnaed kenkuana. Addanto sadiay dagiti mannalon ken agpaspastor a kaduada dagiti arbanda.
And farmers have dwelt in Judah, And in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
25 Ta ikkakto iti danum nga inumenda dagiti nabannog ken pennekekto amin a mawaw manipud iti pannakawawda.”
For I have satiated the weary soul, And I have filled every grieved soul.”
26 Kalpasan daytoy nakariingak, ket naamirisko a ti pannaturogko ket makapabang-ar.
On this I have awoken, and I behold, and my sleep has been sweet to me.
27 “Kitaenyo, umadanin dagiti aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton mulaak dagiti balbalay ti Israel ken Juda kadagiti kaputotan ti tao ken ayup.
“Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man and seed of beast.
28 Idi napalabas, binantayak ida tapno paruten ken rebbaen ida, tapno parmeken ken dadaelen ida ken iyeg kadakuada ti pannakadangran. Ngem kadagiti masungad nga al-aldaw, bantayakto ida tapno bangonen ken imulak ida—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
And it has been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So I watch over them to build, and to plant,” A declaration of YHWH.
29 Kadagitanto nga al-aldaw awanton iti mangibaga, 'Nangan dagiti amma kadagiti naalsem nga ubas, ngem ti ngipen dagiti annak ti naalino.'
“In those days they no longer say: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted.
30 Ta matayto ti tunggal tao gapu iti bukodna a basol; siasinoman a mangan iti naalsem nga ubas, maalinonto ti ngipenna.
But—each dies for his own iniquity, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, His teeth are blunted.
31 Kitaenyo, umadanin dagiti aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton mangaramidak iti baro a tulag iti balay ti Israel ken iti balay ti Juda.
Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have made a new covenant With the house of Israel And with the house of Judah,
32 Daytoy ket saanto a kas iti tulag a nakitulagak kadagiti ammada kadagiti aldaw nga iniggamak dagiti imada idi inruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto. Dagidiay dagiti aldaw a tinallikudanda ti tulagko, nupay asawa ti kaiyarigak kadakuada—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made My covenant void, And I ruled over them,” A declaration of YHWH.
33 Ngem daytoy ti tulag nga aramidek iti balay ti Israel kalpasan dagitoy nga al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Ikabilkonto ti lintegko iti kaungganda ken isuratkonto daytoy iti pusoda, ta Siakto ti Diosda, ket agbalindanto a tattaok.
“For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have given My law in their inward part, And I write it on their heart, And I have been their God, And they are My people.
34 Ket saanton a kasapulan a suroan ti tunggal tao ti kaarrubana, wenno suroan ti maysa a tao ti kabsatna a kunaenna, 'Amoenyo ni Yahweh!' Ta amindanto, manipud kanunumoan kadakuada agingga iti katatan-okan, am-ammodakto—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta pakawanekto dagiti nadagsen a nagkuranganda ken saankonton a lagipen dagiti basolda.”
And they do not teach anymore Each his neighbor, and each his brother, Saying, Know YHWH, For they all know Me, from their least to their greatest,” A declaration of YHWH; “For I pardon their iniquity, And I make no more mention of their sin.”
35 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh—ni Yahweh a mangpaspasingising iti init iti aldaw, ken nangiyurnos iti bulan ken bitbituen tapno agraniag iti rabii. Isuna ti mangpagpagaraw iti baybay tapno agdaranudor dagiti dalluyon. Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin ti naganna. Kastoy ti kunana,
Thus said YHWH, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name:
36 “Agingga a saan a mapukaw dagitoy a permanente a banbanag iti imatangko—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—saanto met a sumardeng dagiti kaputotan ti Israel iti agnanayon a panagbalinna a nasion iti imatangko.”
“If these statutes depart from before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “Even the seed of Israel ceases From being a nation before Me [for] all the days.”
37 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “No mabalin koma a rukuden ti kangatoan a langit, ken no mabalin koma a kitaen ti pundasion ti daga iti baba, mabalinko met koma a laksiden amin dagiti kaputotan ti Israel gapu kadagiti amin nga inaramidda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Thus said YHWH: “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of earth searched below, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done,” A declaration of YHWH.
38 Kitaenyo, umadanin dagiti aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— inton maibangon manen ti siudad para kaniak, manipud iti torre ti Hananel agingga iti Ruangan iti Suli.
“Behold, days [are coming],” A declaration of YHWH, “And the city has been built for YHWH, From the Tower of Hananeel to the Corner Gate.
39 Ket maituloyto pay ti panangrukrukod, agingga iti turod ti Gareb ken agsikko iti Goa.
And the measuring line has gone out again before it, over the height of Gareb, And it has gone around to Goah.
40 Mailasinto para kaniak a ni Yahweh ti entero a tanap ti tanem ken dapdapo, ken ti amin a kataltalonan iti Tanap ti Kidron ken inggana iti Ruangan ti Kabalio iti daya. Saanto manen daytoy a maparut wenno maparmek iti kaanoman.”
And all the valley of the carcasses and of the ashes, And all the fields to the Brook of Kidron, To the corner of the Horse Gate eastward, [Are] holy to YHWH, It is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down anymore for all time!”
