Jeremias 32

1 Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias idi nadanun ti maikasangapulo a tawen a panagturay ni Zedekias kas ari ti Juda, nga isu met ti maikasangapulo ket walo a tawen a panagturay ni ari Nebucadnezar.

After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.

2 Iti dayta a tiempo, laklakuben ti armada ti ari ti Babilonia ti Jerusalem, ken sibabalud met ni Jeremias a profeta iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan dagiti guardia iti balay ti ari ti Juda.

His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.

3 Pinaibalud isuna ni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda, ken kinunana, “Apay met ta agipadpadtoka a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo! Umadanin ti panangiyawatko iti daytoy a siudad iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia, ket sakupennanto daytoy.

King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].

4 Saanto a makalibas ni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda manipud iti ima dagiti Caldeo, ta pudno a naiyawaten isuna iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia. Makatungtongnanto ken makitananto a mismo ti ari.

And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.

5 Ta mapanto ni Zedekias idiay Babilonia ket agtalinaedto isuna sadiay agingga nga adda aramidek kenkuana—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—agsipud ta kinarangetyo dagiti Caldeo. Saankayonto nga agballigi.’’’

Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”

6 Kinuna ni Jeremias, “Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kinunana,

[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

7 'Makitamto, umayto kenka ni Hanamel a putot ni Sallum nga ulitegmo ket kunaenna, “Gatangem ti talonko nga adda idiay Anatot, ta sika ti addaan karbengan a manggatang iti daytoy.'”

“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”

8 Ket kas iti impakaammo ni Yahweh, immay kaniak ni Hanamel a putot ti ulitegko, idiay paraangan a pagbanbantayan dagiti guardia, ket kinunana kaniak, 'Gatangem ti talonko nga adda idiay Anatot, iti daga ti Benjamin, ta adda karbengam a mangtawid iti daytoy, ken sika ti addaan karbengan a manggatang iti daytoy. Gatangem daytoy.' Ket ammok a daytoy ket sao ni Yahweh.

And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.

9 Ginatangko ngarud kenni Hanamel a putot ti ulitegko, ti talon nga adda idiay Anatot, ket nangtimbangak iti pirak, nga agdagup iti sangapulo ket pito a siklo, ket intedko kenkuana.

[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.

10 Kalpasanna, nangisuratak iti maysa a lukuten a pagsuratan ket sinelyoak daytoy ken adda pay tattao a nangsaksi iti daytoy. Ket kalpasanna, nangtimbangak iti pirak.

I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].

11 Kalpasanna, innalak ti naselyoan a kasuratan ti pananggatangko, a nakailanadan ti bilin ken linteg, kasta met ti saan a naselyoan a kasuratan.

Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies

12 Intedko ti naselyoan a kasuratan kenni Baruk a putot ni Nerias a putot ni Maaseias iti sangoanan ni Hanamel, a putot ti ulitegko, ken iti sangoanan dagiti saksi a nagpirma iti kasuratan, ken iti sangoanan dagiti amin a taga-Juda a nakatugaw iti paraangan ti pagbanbantayan dagiti guardia.

and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.

13 Binilinko ngarud ni Baruk iti sangoananda. Kinunak,

[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,

14 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Manakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel: Alaem dagitoy a kasuratan kasta met ti naselyoan a resibo ti pannanggatangko ken daytoy a kasuratan a saan a naselyoan. Ikabilmo dagitoy iti kabarbaro a banga tapno pumaut dagitoy.

“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.

15 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel: Magatangto manen dagiti balbalay, kataltalunan ken kaubasan iti daytoy a daga.’

[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”

16 Kalpasan a naitedko ti resibo ti pananggatangko kenni Baruk a putot a lalaki ni Nerias, nagkararagak kenni Yahweh a kinunak,

After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:

17 'O, Apo a Yahweh! Sika laeng ti nangparsua kadagiti langlangit ken daga babaen iti naindaklan a kinapigsa ken pannakabalinmo. Awan ti ibagam a saanmo a kabaelan nga aramiden.

“Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].

18 Impakitam ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo kadagiti rinibribu a tattao ken ipalpalak-ammo ti pannusa dagiti tattao kadagiti annakda a sumarsaruno kadakuada. Sika ti naindaklan ken nabileg a Dios; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganmo.

You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.

19 Naindaklan ti kinasiribmo ken nabileg dagiti aramidmo, ta makitkitam amin a wagas dagiti tattao, tapno supapakam ti tunggal tao segun iti tignay ken aramidna.

You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.

20 Nangaramidka kadagiti pagilasinan ken nakaskasdaaw iti daga ti Egipto. Agingga kadagitoy a tiempo ditoy Israel ken kadagiti amin a sangkataoan, pinagbalinmo a nalatak ti naganmo.

You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).

21 Ta inruarmo manipud Egipto dagiti tattaom nga Israel babaen kadagiti pagilasinan ken nakaskasdaaw nga aramidmo, babaen iti kinapigsam, ken pannakabalinmo a namagbuteng kadagiti kabusormi.

You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.

22 Kalpasanna, intedmo kadakuada daytoy a daga—nga inkarim kadagiti kapuonanda nga itedmo kadakuada—daga a pagay-ayusan iti gatas ken diro.

You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].

23 Simrekda ngarud ken tinagikuada daytoy. Ngem saanda a nagtulnog iti timekmo wenno nagtungpal iti lintegmo. Awan ti tinungpalda kadagiti imbilinmo kadakuada nga aramidenda, isu nga impalak-ammo amin dagitoy a didigra kadakuada.

Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.

24 Kitaenyo! Dimmanunen dagiti pagbatayan iti ngato ti pader tapno makastrekda iti siudad ket sakupenda daytoy. Ta gapu iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin, ken angol, naiyawaten ti siudad iti ima dagiti Caldeo a mangraraut iti daytoy. Ta ti imbagam a mapasamak ket mapaspasamaken, ket maim-imatangamon ita daytoy.

And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.

25 Ket kinunam a mismo kaniak, “Gumatangka iti talon babaen iti pirak ken mangayabka kadagiti saksi a mangpaneknek a ginatangmo daytoy, uray pay no maiyaw-awaten daytoy a siudad iti ima dagiti Caldeo.””’

[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”

26 Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias, a kunana,

[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:

27 “Kitaem! Siak ni Yahweh, a Dios ti sangkataoan. Adda aya met banag a saanko a kabaelan nga aramiden?

“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].

28 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Dumngegka, umadanin ti panangiyawatko iti daytoy a siudad iti ima dagiti Caldeo ken kenni Nebucadnezar, nga ari ti Babilonia. Sakupennanto daytoy.

So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.

29 Umayto dagiti Caldeo a mangraraut iti daytoy a siudad ket puoranda daytoy, agraman dagiti balbalay nga iti rabaw dagiti bubong dagitoy ket agdaydayaw dagiti tattao kenni Baal ken nangibukbokda kadagiti arak a datonda kadagiti didiosen tapno pagpungtotendak.

The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.

30 Ta dagiti tattao ti Israel ken Juda ket pudno a nangar-aramid iti dakes iti imatangko sipud pay iti kinaagtutuboda. Pudno a pinagpungtotdak dagiti tattao ti Israel gapu kadagiti aramid dagiti imada—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—

The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.

31 ta pinagunget ken pinagpungtotdak daytoy a siudad sipud pay iti aldaw nga imbangonda daytoy. Nagtultuloy daytoy agingga iti agdama nga aldaw. Isu nga pukawekto daytoy iti imatangko

From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.

32 gapu kadagiti amin a kinadangkes dagiti tattao ti Israel ken Juda, dagiti banbanag nga inaramidda tapno pagpungtotendak—isuda, dagiti arida, dagiti prinsipe, papadi, dagiti profeta, ken tunggal tao iti Juda ken tunggal agnanaed idiay Jerusalem.

The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.

33 Tinallikudandak ket saanda a kayat ti agsubli kaniak, nupay saanak a nagsardeng iti panangisurok kadakuada. Pinadasko ida a sinuroan, ngem awan ti uray maysa kadakuada a dimngeg tapno agpailinteg.

My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.

34 Kalpasanna, inkabilda dagiti makarimon a banbanag iti balay tapno tulawanda daytoy, ti balay a pakaawagan ti naganko.

They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).

35 Kalpasanna, nangipatakderda kadagiti altar a pagdaydayawan para kenni Baal iti Tanap ti Ben Hinnom tapno idatonda dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai kenni Molec, maysa daytoy a banag a saanko nga imbilin kadakuada nga aramidenda, maysa a banag nga iti kaanoman ket saanko pulos a napanunot—daytoy a makarurod a banag nga inaramidda tapno isungsongda nga agbasol ti Juda.'

They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”

36 Isu nga ita, Siak a ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, ibagak daytoy maipapan iti daytoy a siudad, ti siudad nga ibagbagayo, 'Naipaiman daytoy iti ari ti Babilonia babaen iti kampilan, nakaro a panagbisin, ken angol.'

“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:

37 Makitayonto, urnongekto ida manipud iti tunggal daga a nangipanak kadakuada gapu iti pungtot ken nakaro nga ungetko. Isublikto ida iti daytoy a lugar ken agbiagdanto ditoy a sitatalged.

‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.

38 Ket isudanto dagiti tattaok, ken Siakto ti Diosda.

They will be my people, and I will be their God.

39 Ikkakto ida iti maymaysa a puso ken maymaysa a wagas a panangdayaw kaniak iti inaldaw, tapno nasayaatto ti pagbanaganda kasta met dagiti kaputotanda a sumarsaruno kadakuada.

I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.

40 Ket agaramidakto iti agnanayon a tulag kadakuada isu a saankonto ida a tallikudan. Aramidek daytoy tapno ipaayko kadakuada ti pagimbaganda ken ikabilkonto iti pusoda ti panagraem kaniak. Iti kasta saandanton nga agsardeng nga agtungpal kaniak.

I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.

41 Ket naragsakakto a mangaramid iti kinaimbag kadakuada. Sipupudnoakto a mangimula kadakuada iti daytoy a daga iti amin a pusok ken iti amin a kinasiasinok.

I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’

42 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Kas iti panangiyegko kadagitoy amin a nakaro a didigra kadagitoy a tattao, kasta met nga iyegkonto kadakuada dagiti amin a nasasayaat a banbanag nga imbagak nga aramidek kadakuada.

And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.

43 Ket magatangto dagiti taltalon iti daytoy a daga, nga ibagbagayo, “Daytoy a daga ket nadadael, awanto ti uray tao wenno ayup iti daytoy. Naipaiman daytoy kadagiti Caldeo.”

[By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”

44 Gumatangdanto kadagiti taltalon babaen iti pirak ket agisuratdanto kadagiti naselyoan a kasuratan. Ummongendanto dagiti saksi iti daga ti Benjamin, iti entero a Jerusalem ken kadagiti siudad ti Juda, kadagiti siudad iti katurturodan a pagilian ken kadagiti kapatadan ken kadagiti siudad iti Negev. Ta isublikto kadakuada ti sigud a napintas a kasasaadda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'''

[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
