Jeremias 4
1 No agsublikayo, Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— siak ti rumbeng a pagsublianyo. No ikkatenyo dagiti makarimon a banbanagyo iti imatangko, ken saandak manen a tallikudan,
“O Israel, if you would return, says the Lord, then be converted to me. If you remove your offense from before my face, then you will not be shaken.
2 ken no isapatayo, ‘adda kenni Yahweh ti kinapudno, hustisia, ken kinalinteg,' kiddawento dagiti nasion ti bendisionko, ken idayawdakto.
And you will swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’ in truth and in judgment and in justice.” And the Gentiles will bless him, and they will praise him.
3 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh iti tunggal maysa a tattao iti Juda ken Jerusalem. ‘Aradwenyo ti bukodyo a daga, ken saankayo nga agmula kadagiti kasisiitan.
For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and of Jerusalem: “Break new ground, and do not choose to sow upon thorns.
4 Makugitkayo koma kenni Yahweh ken ikkatenyo dagiti akin-rabaw a kudil dagiti pusoyo, lallaki ti Juda ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ta no saan, gumil-ayabto a kasla apuy ti rungsotko ken manguram nga awan ti uray siasino a makaiddep iti daytoy. Mapasamakto daytoy gapu iti kinadakes dagiti aramidyo.
Be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskins from your hearts, O men of Judah, O inhabitants of Jerusalem. Otherwise my indignation may burst forth and flare up like a fire. And then there will be no one who can extinguish it, because of the wickedness of your thoughts.
5 Ipakaammoyo idiay Juda ken ipangngegyo iti Jerusalem. Kunaenyo, “Pagunienyo ti tangguyob iti daga.” Iwaragawagyo, “Aguummongkayo.” Mapantayo kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad.”
Declare it in Judah, and make it known in Jerusalem! Speak out and sound the trumpet in the land! Cry out strongly and say: ‘Gather yourselves! And let us go forth to fortified cities!’
6 Itag-ayyo ti bandera a pagilasinan ket iturongyo idiay Sion, ken tumaraykayo tapno natalgedkayo! Saankayo nga agtalinaed, ta mangiyegak iti didigra manipud amianan ken dakkel a pannakarebba.
Lift up a standard in Zion. Be strengthened! Do not choose to stand still. For I am bringing an evil from the north, with great destruction.
7 Rummuarto iti maysa a leon manipud kasamekan, ken agsagsaganan ti maysa a mangdadaelto kadagiti nasion. Pumanaw isuna iti lugar nga ayanna tapno mangiyeg ti nakaal-alinggaget a pasamak iti dagayo, dadaelenna dagiti siudadyo, ket awanto ti agnaed.
The lion has ascended from his den, and the pillager of the nations has lifted himself up. He has gone forth from his place, so that he may set your land in desolation. Your cities will be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.
8 Gapu iti daytoy, balkotenyo ti bagbagiyo iti nakersang a lupot, agdung-aw ken aganug-ogkayo. Ta saan a timmalikud kadatayo ti rungsot ti pungtot ni Yahweh.
Concerning this, wrap yourselves in haircloth, mourn and wail: ‘For the wrath of the fury of the Lord has not been turned away from us.’
9 Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw, —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— a matayto ti puso dagiti ari ken dagiti opisialna. Makigtotto dagiti padi, ken mapabutnganto dagiti profeta.
And this shall be in that day, says the Lord: The heart of the king will perish, with the heart of the princes. And the priests will be stupefied, and the prophets will be in consternation.”
10 Isu a kinunak, “O! Yahweh nga Apo. Pudno nga inallilawmo a naminpinsan dagitoy a tattao ken ti Jerusalem babaen iti panangibagam, ‘Maaddaankayonto iti kappia.' Idinto a silalayat ti kampilan a maibusor iti biagda.
And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Could it be that you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: ‘Peace shall be yours,’ while, behold, the sword reaches even to the soul?”
11 Iti dayta a tiempo maibaganto ti kastoy kadagitoy a tattao ken iti Jerusalem “Ti nabara nga angin manipud kadagiti patad ti let-ang ket agturongto kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti tattaok. Saannanto ida a taepan wenno dalusan.
“In that time, it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: ‘A burning wind is in the ways that are in the desert, along the way of the daughter of my people, but not to winnow and not to cleanse.’
12 Addanto iti angin a napigpigsa nga adayo ngem iti dayta nga angin nga umay babaen ti bilinko, ket iyulogkon ti panangukomko kadakuada.
A full spirit from these places will come to me. And now I will speak my judgments over them.
13 Kitaenyo, ruma-ut isuna a kasla ulep, ken kasla bagyo dagiti karwahena. Naparpartak dagiti kabaliona ngem kadagiti agila. Asitayo pay, ta madadaeltayonto!
Behold, he will ascend like a cloud, and his chariot will ascend like a tempest. His horses are swifter than eagles. ‘Woe to us! For we are being devastated!’
14 O Jerusalem, dalusanyo dagiti pusoyo manipud iti kinadangkes, tapno maisalakankayo. Kaanonto pay ti panagsardengyo iti panangpanpanunotyo no kasano ti agbasol?
Wash your heart from malice, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. How long will harmful thoughts abide in you?
15 Ta addanto timek a mangiyeg iti damag manipud Dan, ken mangngeg ti um-umay a didigra manipud kadagiti kabanbantayan ti Efraim.
For there is a voice, of someone announcing from Dan, and he is making known the idol from mount Ephraim.
16 Bay-am a panunoten dagiti nasion ti maipanggep iti daytoy: Denggem, ibagam iti Jerusalem nga um-umayen dagiti manglakub manipud iti adayu a daga a mangipukkaw iti gubat a maibusor kadagiti siudad ti Juda.
Say to the nations: ‘Behold, it has been heard in Jerusalem! Guardians are coming from a far away land, to utter their voice against the cities of Judah.’
17 Maiyarigdanto kadagiti agwanwanawan iti naaradon a talon a nangpalawlaw iti daytoy, agsipud ta nagsukir daytoy kaniak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—
They have been stationed over her, like the guardians of fields, all around. For she has provoked me to wrath, says the Lord.
18 ken ti kababalin ken ar-aramidmo ti makagapu a mapasamak dagitoy kenka. Kastoyto ti dusam. Anian a nakaam-amakto daytoy! Dangrannanto ti mismo a pusom.
Your ways and your thoughts have brought these things upon you. This is your own wickedness. And it is bitter, because it has touched your heart.
19 O pusok! O pusok! Agsansanaang daytoy pusok. Mariribukan daytoy pusok. Saanak a makatalna ta mangmangngegko ti uni ti tangguyob, ti pakdaar ti gubat.
I am afflicted in my heart, in my heart. The senses of my heart have been stirred up within me. I will not remain silent. For my soul has heard the voice of the trumpet, the clamor of the battle.
20 Pannakarebba ken pannakarebba ti maiwarwaragawag, ta kellaat a nadadael ti entero a daga. Naminpinsan a dinadaelda ti tabernakulok ken ti toldak.
Destruction upon destruction has been called forth. And the entire earth has been devastated. My tabernacles have been destroyed suddenly, and my tents in an instant.
21 Kasano pay ngata kabayag a kitkitaek ti bandera? Mangngegkonto kadi pay ti uni ti tangguyob?
How long shall I watch those who are fleeing, and listen to the voice of the trumpet?
22 Ta iti kinamaag dagiti tattaok—saandak nga am-ammo. Nakunengda a tattao ken awan pannakaawatda. Nalaingda no maipapan iti kinadakes, ngem awan ammoda nga agaramid iti kina-imbag.
For my foolish people have not known me. They are foolish and mad sons. They are clever in doing evil, but they do not know how to do good.
23 Nakitak ti daga, ket anian! Awan langlangana ken unga-ong daytoy. Ta awan silaw dagiti langit.
I gazed upon the earth, and behold, it was empty and brought to nothing. And I gazed upon the heavens, but there was no light in them.
24 Kimmitaak kadagiti kabanbantayan. Nakitak nga agkinkintayeg ken aggungungon dagiti turod.
I watched the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills were shaken.
25 Kimmitaak. Adtoy, awan uray maysa a tao, ken timmayab amin a billit ti langit.
I looked, and there was no man. And all the flying things of the air had gone away.
26 Kimmitaak. Nakitak a nagbalin a let-ang ti minuyongan ken narba amin dagiti siudad iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, gapu iti rungsot ti pungtotna.”
I gazed, and behold, Carmel was a desert, and all its cities were destroyed before the face of the Lord, and before the face of the wrath of his fury.”
27 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Madadaelto ti daga, ngem saankonto a dadaelen a naan-anay daytoy.
For thus says the Lord: “All the earth will be desolate, but I will not yet bring about its consummation.
28 Gapu iti daytoy, agladingitto ti daga, ken agsipngetto ti tangatang. Ta impakaammokon ti panggepko; ipatungpalko; Saanakto nga agsanud a mangipatungpal kadagitoy.
The earth will mourn, and the heavens will lament from above. For I have spoken, I have decided, and I have not regretted. Neither will I be turned away from it.
29 Itarayanto ti tunggal siudad ti arimpadek dagiti kumakabalio ken dagiti pumapana; tumaraydanto kadagiti kabakiran. Kumalay-atto ti tunggal siudad kadagiti kabatbattoan a luglugar. Mabaybay-anto dagiti siudad, ta awanto ti uray maysa nga agtaeng kadagitoy.
Before the voice of the horsemen and of those who send forth arrows, the entire city has fled. They have entered steep places, and they have ascended the cliffs. All of the cities have been abandoned, and no man lives within them.
30 Ita ta nadadaelkan, ania ti aramidem? Ta uray agkaweska iti nalabbaga a kawes, arkusam ti bagim iti alahas a balitok, ken padakkelem ti matam babaen iti pinta, saandakan a kayat ita dagiti lallaki a nagderrep kenka. Ngem ketdi, kayatda a pukawen ti biagmo.
So then, when you have been devastated, what will you do? Though you will clothe yourself with scarlet, though you will adorn yourself with a gold necklace and tint your eyes with cosmetics, you will be dressing yourself up in vain. Your lovers have spurned you; they will be seeking your life.
31 Isu a mangngegko ti uni ti asug, tuok a kas iti agpasngay iti inauna nga anak, ti timek ti babai nga anak ti Sion. Agang-angsab isuna. Iyukradna dagiti imana, ' Asi-ak pay! Matallimudawak gapu kadagitoy a mammapatay.”'
For I have heard a voice, like that of a woman giving birth, during the difficulties of labor. It is the voice of the daughter of Zion, dying, extending her hands: ‘Woe to me! For my soul is failing because of those who have been slain!’”
