< Jeremias 42 >

1 Kalpasanna, amin dagiti mangidadaulo iti armada, ni Johanan a putot ni Karea, ni Azarias a putot ni Hosaias, ken amin dagiti tattao manipud iti kanunummoan agingga iti katatan-okan ket immasidegda kenni Jeremias a profeta.
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
2 Kinunada kenkuana, “Palubosannakami koma nga ibagami kenka dagiti kiddawmi. Ikararagannakami kenni Yahweh a Diosmo para kadagitoy a tattao a nabatbati gapu ta sumagmamanokami laengen, kas makitam met.
and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,
3 Kiddawem kenni Yahweh a Diosmo nga ibagana kadakami ti dalan a rumbeng a turongenmi ken ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi.”
that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”
4 Isu a kinuna kadakuada ni Jeremias a profeta, “Nangngegko ti kiddawyo. Dumngegkayo, agkararagak kenni Yahweh a Diosyo a kas iti kiniddawyo. Aniaman ti sungbat ni Yahweh, ibagakto kadakayo. Awan ti ilimedko kadakayo.”
Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”
5 Kinunada kenni Jeremias, “Ni Yahweh koma ti agbalin a pudno ken mapagtalkan a saksi maibusor kadakami no saanmi nga aramiden ti amin nga ibaga kadakami ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga aramidenmi.
Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to tell us.
6 Nasayaat man wenno dakes daytoy, tungpalenminto ti timek ni Yahweh a Diostayo a pangibabaonanmi kenka, tapno awanto ti pakaan-anoanmi no tungpalenmi ti timek ni Yahweh a Diostayo.”
Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”
7 Ket napasamak a kalpasan ti sangapulo nga aldaw, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias.
After ten days, the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah.
8 Isu a pinaayaban ni Jeremias ni Johanan a putot a lalaki ni Karea ken dagiti amin a pangulo ti armada a kaduana, ken dagiti amin a tattao manipud iti kanunumoan agingga iti katatan-okan.
Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 Ket kinunana kadakuada, “Ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, a nangibaonanyo kaniak tapno maidatagko iti sangoananna ti kiddawyo. Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh,
and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:
10 'No agsublikayo ket agnaedkayo iti daytoy a daga, ibangonkayo ket saankayonto a dadaelen; imulakayonto ket saankayonto a paruten, ta saankon nga ipatungpal ti didigra nga inyegko kadakayo.
‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
11 Saankayo nga agbuteng iti ari ti Babilonia, a pagbutbutnganyo. Saankayo nga agbuteng kenkuana—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—agsipud ta addaak kadakayo tapno isalakankayo ken ispalenkayo manipud iti imana.
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 Ta ipalak-amkonto kadakayo ti asi. Kaasiannakayto ken isublinakayto iti dagayo.
I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 Ngem kas pangarigan ta ibagayo, “Saankami nga agnaed iti daytoy a daga”—no saankayo a dumngeg iti timekko, ti timek ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
“‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you do not obey the LORD your God’s voice,
14 Kas pangarigan ta ibagayo, “Saan! Mapankami iti daga ti Egipto a saanmi a pakakitaan iti gubat, a saanmi a pakangngegan iti uni ti tangguyob, ken lugar a saankaminto a mabisinan. Agnaedkami sadiay.”
saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’
15 Ita, dumngegkayo iti daytoy a sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a nabatbati iti Juda. Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, kastoy ti kunana, 'No ipilityo a mapan idiay Egipto, tapno mapankayo agnaed sadiay,
now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,
16 ngarud, ti kampilan a pagbutbutnganyo ket un-unaannakayto pay iti daga ti Egipto. Ket ti panagbisin a pagbutbutnganyo, kamatennakayonto idiay Egipto. Ket mataykayonto sadiay.
then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.
17 Isu a mapasamak nga amin a tattao a mangipilit a mapan idiay Egipto tapno agnaed sadiay ket matayto babaen iti kampilan, panagbisin, wenno didigra. Awanto ti makalasat kadakuada, awanto ti makalibas iti didigra nga iyegko kadakuada.
So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’
18 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel: Kas iti pannakaidissuor ti unget ken pungtotko kadagiti agnanaed idiay Jerusalem, maidissuorto met ti pungtotko kadakayo no mapankayo idiay Egipto. Agbalinkayto a pakakitaan iti maysa a nailunod ken mabutengto dagiti tattao inton makitada ti napasamak kadakayo; mausarto ti nagan ti iliyo no adda ti agilunod ken agangaw. Ket saanyonto a makita manen daytoy a lugar.'''
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’
19 Ket kinuna ni Jeremias, “Nagsao ni Yahweh maipapan kadakayo—dakayo a nabatbati iti Juda. Saankayo a mapan idiay Egipto! Ammoyon nga ita nga aldaw, nagbalinak a saksi iti maibusor kadakayo.
“The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.
20 Ta biagyo a mismo ti pagbayadyo iti panangibaonyo kaniak kenni Yahweh a Diosyo a kunayo, 'Ikararagandakami kenni Yahweh a Diostayo. Amin nga ibaga ni Yahweh a Diostayo, ibagam kadakami ket aramidenmi dagitoy.'
For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’
21 Ta imbagak met kadakayo ita nga aldaw, ngem saankayo a dimngeg iti timek ni Yahweh a Diosyo wenno iti aniaman a banag maipapan iti nangibaonanna kaniak kadakayo.
I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.
22 Ita ngarud, masapul a maammoanyo a mataykayo bababen iti kampilan, panagbisin, ken didigra iti lugar a tinarigagayanyo a mapan pagnaedan.”
Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
