< Jeremias 48 >

1 Iti Moab, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel, “Asi pay ti Nebo, ta nadadaelen daytoy. Naparmeken ken naibabain ti Kiriataim. Narban ti sarikedkedna ken naibabain.
This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
2 Awanen ti dayaw ti Moab. Dagiti kabusorda iti Hesbon ket nagpanggep iti dakes a maibusor iti kenkuana. Kinunada, 'Umaykayo ta dadaelentayo ti saadna a kas nasion. Mapukawto met ti Madmen-kamatennakanto ti kampilan.'
No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
3 Denggem! Adda ikkis nga aggapu iti Horonaim, a nagbalinen a langalang ken dakkel a pannakadadael.
Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
4 Nadadaelen ti Moab. Impangngeg dagiti annakna dagiti sangitda.
[All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
5 Sumang-atda nga agsangsangit iti turod ti Luhit, ta iti dalan a sumalog a mapan iti Horonaim, mangngeg dagiti ikkis gapu iti pannakadadael.
They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
6 Agtaraykayo! Ispalenyo dagiti biagyo ket agbalinkayo a kasla kadagiti kayo a juniper idiay let-ang.
[Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
7 Ta gapu iti panagtalekyo kadagiti ar-aramidenyo ken iti kinabaknangyo, matiliwkayonto met. Ket maipanawto a kas balud ni Kemos, agraman dagiti papadi ken dagiti mangidadaulona.
But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
8 Ta umayto iti tunggal siudad ti manangdadael; awanto ti siudad a makalibas. Isu a mapukawto ti tanap ken madadaelto ti patad, a kas kinuna ni Yahweh.
All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
9 Ikkanyo ti Moab kadagiti payak, ta masapul a tumayab isuna nga umadayo. Agbalinto a langalang dagiti siudadna, ket awan iti siasinoman nga agnaed kadagitoy.
Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
10 Mailunod koma ti siasinoman a masadut a mangaramid iti trabaho ni Yahweh! Mailunod koma ti siasinoman a saan a mangasut iti kampilanna tapno mangpasayasay iti dara!
Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
11 Nakarikna iti kinatalged ti Moab manipud kinaubingna. Maiyarig isuna iti arakna a saan pay a pulos a naiyakar iti sabali a banga. Saan pay isuna a naipanaw a kas balud. Isu a naimas ti ramanna a kas iti sigud; saan a nagbaliw ti ramanna.
[The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
12 Isu a kitaem, dumtengen dagiti aldaw— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton ibaonko kenkuana dagiti mangibukbok kenkuana ken mangipakbo kadagiti amin a bangana ken mangburak kadagiti karambana.
But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
13 Ket maibabainto ti Moab gapu kenni Kemos a kas iti pannakapabain ti balay ti Israel gapu kenni Betel, a pagtaltalkanda.
Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
14 Kasanoyo pay a maibaga, 'Soldadokami, mamaingel a mannakigubat a lallaki'?
[The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
15 Madadaelto ti Moab ken marautto dagiti siudad daytoy. Ta naipanen dagiti kalaingan nga agtutubona a lallaki iti disso a pakatayanda. Kastoy ti pakaammo ti ari! Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin ti naganna.
But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
16 Asidegen a mapasamak ti pannakadidigra ti Moab; agap-apura ti kalamidad.
Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
17 Agdung-awkayo amin nga adda iti aglawlaw ti Moab. Ket aminkayo a makaammo iti kinalatakna, ipukkawyo daytoy, 'Asi pay ti natibker a sarukod, a madaydayaw a sarukod, ta natukkolen.'
You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
18 Dakayo nga annak a babbai nga agnanaed dita Dibon, bumabakayo manipud iti madaydayaw a disso ket agtugawkayo iti namaga a daga. Ta ti mangdadaelto iti Moab ket dardarupennakayo, ti mangdadaelto kadagiti sarikedkedyo.
You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
19 Dakayo a tattao nga agnanaed dita Aroer, agtakderkayo iti dalan ket agbuyakayo. Saludsudenyo kadagiti agtataray ken aglibllibas. Kunaenyo, 'Ania ti napasamak?'
You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
20 Naibabainen ti Moab, ta nadadaelen daytoy. Aglaaw ken agdung-awkayo; agpaarayatkayo. Ibagayo kadagiti tattao nga adda iti igid ti Karayan Arnon a nadadaelen ti Moab.
[They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
21 Ita, dimtengen ti pannusa kadagiti katurturodan a pagilian, iti Holon, Jaza ken Mefat,
[Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
22 iti Dibon, Nebo ken Bet Diblataim,
Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
23 iti Kiriataim, Bet Gamul ken Bet Meon,
Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
24 iti Keriot ken Bosra, ken kadagiti amin a siudad iti daga ti Moab—kadagiti kaadaywan ken kaaasitgan a siudad.
Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
25 Naputeden ti sara ti Moab; natukkolen ti takkiag daytoy—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
26 Bartekem isuna, ta nakatangtangsit isuna kaniak, a ni Yahweh. Ita pagtipaten ti Moab dagiti imana gapu iti pannakaalumiimna iti bukodna a sarua, isu a nagbalin met isuna a pagkakatawaan.
[You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
27 Ta saan aya a nagbalin a pagkakatawaan kenka ti Israel? Masarakan aya isuna kadagiti agtatakaw, ta iwingwingiwingmo ti ulom kenkuana bayat iti masansan a panangisasaom iti maipapan kenkuana?
You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
28 Kadagiti agnanaed iti Moab, panawanyo dagiti siudad ket agkampokayo kadagiti rangkis. Agbalinkayo a kasla kalapati nga agumok iti wangawangan ti abot dagiti kabatbatoan.
You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
29 Nangngegmi ti kinatangsit ti Moab—ti kinalastogna, ti kinapannakkelna, ti kinakuspagna, ti kinapalangguadna ken ti kinatangsit ti pusona.
We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
30 Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—Ammok ti nakarit a panagsaona, nga awan serserbina, a kas met laeng kadagiti aramidna.
But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
31 Isu a dung-awakto ti Moab, ken agpukkawakto a silaladingit gapu iti entero a Moab. Agladingitakto gapu kadagiti tattao ti Kir Heres.
So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
32 Lanut ti Sibma, ad-addanto ti panagsangitko gapu kenka ngem iti inaramidko iti Jaser! Bimmallasiw dagiti sangam iti Natay a Baybay ket dimmanonda agingga iti Jaser. Dinarup dagiti manangdadael ti bungam iti kalgaw ken ti arakmo.
You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
33 Napukaw ngarud ti panagrambak ken panagrag-o manipud kadagiti agbungbunga a kayo ken iti daga ti Moab. Pinagpatenggak ti arak kadagiti pagpespesanda. Saandanton nga agibaddek a sididir-i. Aniaman a panagpukkaw ket saanto a pukkaw gapu iti rag-o.
But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
34 Manipud iti panagpukkaw idiay Hesbon agingga idiay Eleale, mangngeg ti timekda idiay Jaaz, manipud Zoar agingga Horonaim ken Eglat Shelisiya, agsipud ta uray dagiti danum ti Nimrim ket natianan.
Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
35 Ta pagsardengekto ti siasinoman idiay Moab nga agidatdaton kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan ken ti siasinoman nga agpupuor iti insenso a maipaay kadagiti didiosenna—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
36 Isu a kasla pluta nga agdungdung-aw ti pusok para iti Moab. Agdungdung-aw ti pusok a kasla kadagiti pluta para kadagiti tattao ti Kir Heres. Napukawen dagiti kinabaknang a nagun-odda.
I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
37 Ta nakalboan ti tunggal ulo ken nakuskusan ti tunggal barbas. Tunggal ima ket adda sugatna, ken napalikmutan iti nakersang a lupot dagiti siketda.
The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
38 Adda panagladingit kadagiti amin a disso, iti tunggal patag a tuktok ti balay iti Moab ken kadagiti disso disso a paguummongan iti Moab. Ta dinadaelko ti Moab a kasla la maysa kadagiti banga nga awan iti mangkayat—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
39 Anian ta naburak daytoy! Anian ti panaganug-ogda iti panagdung-awda! Timmallikud ti Moab gapu iti bain daytoy! Agbalin ngarud ti Moab a pagkakatawaan ken nakabutbuteng kadagiti amin nga adda iti aglawlawna.”
Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
40 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Kitaem, umayto dagiti kabusor a kasla agtaytayab nga agila, nakaukrad dagiti payakna iti ngatoen ti Moab.
This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
41 Nasakupen ti Keriot, ken narban dagiti sarikedkedna. Ta iti dayta nga aldaw, agbalinto dagiti puso dagiti soldado ti Moab a kasla kadagiti puso dagiti babbai nga agpaspasikal.
Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
42 Madadaelto ngarud dagiti tattao ti Moab, yantangay ta nagbalinda a natangsit a maibusor kaniak, a ni Yahweh.
[The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
43 Panagbuteng, abut ken silo ti dumtengto kadakayo nga agnanaed iti Moab-daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
44 Siasinoman nga agtaray gapu iti buteng ket matnagto iti abut, ken siasinoman a kumalay-at a rummuar iti abut ket masiloanto, ta iyegkonto daytoy kadakuada iti tawen ti panagibalesko kadakuada— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
45 Dagiti makalibas ket agkakapsutto nga agtakder iti aniniwan ti Hesbon, ta rummuarto ti apuy manipud iti Hesbon, gil-ayab manipud iti tengnga ti Sihon. Uramento daytoy ti muging ti Moab ken ti tuktok dagiti ulo dagiti napalangguad a tattao.
The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
46 Asika pay Moab! Nadadaelen dagiti tattao ni Kemos. Ta naipanawen dagiti annakmo a lallaki ken babbai a kas balud.
[You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
47 Ngem isublikto ti kinabaknang ti Moab kadagiti maud-udi nga al-aldaw— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.” Ti pannakaukom ti Moab ket agpatingga ditoy.
But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
