< Jeremias 5 >

1 “Darasenyo a mapan kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem, kasta met nga agsukimatkayo kadagiti plasana. Ket kitaenyo ken panunotenyo daytoy: No makasarakkayo iti tao wenno siasinoman nga agtigtignay a sililinteg ken ikagkagumaanna nga agtignay a sipupudno, pakawanekto ti Jerusalem.
Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and notice, and search in its broad places, if ye can find one man, if there be one that executeth justice, that searcheth for truth: and I will pardon it.
2 Uray no kunada, 'Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon,' inuulbod ti panagsapatada.”
And though they say, “As the Lord liveth!” surely they only swear to a falsehood.
3 O Yahweh, saan kadi a kinapudno ti sapsapulen dagiti matam? Dinangram dagiti tattao, ngem saanda a makarikna iti ut-ot. Pinarmekmo ida a naan-anay, ngem agkedkedda latta nga umawat iti panangiwanwan. Pagbalbalinenda a natangtangken pay ngem bato dagiti rupada, ta saanda a kayat nga agbabawi.
O Lord, are not thy eyes [directed] to the truth? thou didst strike them, but they felt it not; thou didst make an end of them, [yet] they refused to accept correction: they made their faces harder than a rock, they refused to return.
4 Isu a kinunak, “Awan duadua a napanglaw laeng dagitoy a tattao. Maagda, ta saanda nga ammo dagiti wagas ni Yahweh, uray pay dagiti paglintegan ti Diosda.
Yet I myself thought, Oh these are but poor; they are foolish; for they knew not the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God.
5 Mapanakto kadagiti mabigbigbig a tattao ket ipakaamok kadakuada dagiti mensahe ti Dios, ta uray kaskasano, ammoda ti wagas ni Yahweh, dagiti paglintegan ti Diosda. Ngem aminda, tinukkolda a sangsangkamaysa ti sangolda; pinugsatda amin dagiti kawar a nangisinggalut kadakuada iti Dios.
I had better go unto the great men, and let me speak with them; for these surely know the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God; but these altogether have broken the yoke, burst the bands.
6 Isu a rautento ida ti leon nga aggapu iti kasamekan. Dadaelento ida iti atap nga aso nga aggapu idiay Araba. Umayto ti leopardo a maibusor kadagiti siudadda. Marangrangkayto ti siasinoman a rummuar iti siudadna. Ta kumarkarkaro ti panagsalungasingda. Awan panagpatingga ti panangtallikudda iti Dios.
Therefore slayeth them the lion out of the forest, the wolf of the deserts wasteth them, the leopard lieth in wait against their cities: every one that cometh out thence shall be torn in pieces; because many are their transgressions, very numerous are their backslidings.
7 Apay koma a pakawanek dagitoy a tattao? Tinallikudandak dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken nagsapatada iti nagan dagiti saan a dios. Binussogko ida, ngem nakikamalalada ket napanda iti balay dagiti balangkantis.
How shall I for this pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by those that are not gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's house.
8 Kaslada la kadagiti kabalio a makataktakba. Aggarraigida gapu iti tarigagayda a tumakba. Tarigagayan ti tunggal lalaki ti asawa ti kaarrubana.
As robust horses they rose by times in the morning: every one neighed after the wife of his neighbor.
9 Isu a saan kadi a rumbeng laeng a dusaek ida- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saan kadi a rumbeng laeng nga agibalesak iti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
Shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: and shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?
10 Sumang-atkayo kadagiti natukad-tukad a kaubasanna ket dadaelenyo dagitoy. Ngem saanyo a dadaelen a maminpinsan dagitoy. Putdenyo dagiti sangada, agsipud ta dagitoy a sanga ket saan a nagtaud kenni Yahweh.
Scale ye her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: remove her young shoots; for they are not the Lord's.
11 Ta liniputandak a naminpinsan dagiti balay ti Israel ken Juda- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 ken inlaksiddak. Kunada, 'Saan a pudno isuna. Awanto ti dakes a mapagtengtayo, ken saantayonto a makakita iti kampilan wenno agsagaba iti panagbisin.
They have denied the Lord, and said, “He existeth not; nor will evil come over us; and the sword and famine shall we not see.
13 Ta awanen iti serserbi dagiti profeta, maiyarigdan iti angin, ken awan a pulos ti mangipakpakaammo kadatayo iti mensahe ni Yahweh. Sagabaenda ngarud dagiti pangtada.”'
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them:” thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Manakabalin-amin, “Gapu ta imbagam daytoy, denggem, ngannganikon nga ikabil ti saok dita ngiwatmo. Kaslanto apuy daytoy, ket kaslanto kayo dagitoy a tattao! Ta uramennanto ida.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth to be a fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Kitaem, umadanin ti panangiyegko iti maysa a nasion a maibusor kadakayo manipud iti adayo, balay ti Israel- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- nabileg daytoy a nasion, nasion nga addan idi un-unana! Daytoy ket nasion a saanyo nga ammo ti pagsasaoda, wenno maawatan dagiti ibagada.
Lo, I will bring over you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is a most ancient nation, a nation whose language thou wilt not know, and thou wilt not understand what they speak.
16 Kasla silulukat a tanem ti pana daytoy. Soldadoda amin.
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre: they are all mighty men.
17 Isu a maibusto dagiti apityo, kasta met dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai, ken taraonyo. Kanendanto dagiti arban iti karnero ken bakbakayo; kanendanto dagiti bunga ti ubasyo ken dagiti kayo ti igos. Rebbaendanto babaen iti kampilan dagiti nasarikedkedan a siudadyo nga isu a pagtaltalkanyo.
And they shall consume thy harvest, and thy bread; they shall consume thy sons and thy daughters; they shall consume thy flocks and thy herds; they shall consume thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall depopulate thy fortified cities, those wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18 Ngem uray kadagidiay nga al-aldaw- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saanko a panggep a dadaelenkayo a naan-anay.
Nevertheless even in those days, saith the Lord, will I not make a full end of you.
19 inton dakayo, Israel ken Juda, ket kunayo, 'Apay nga inaramid kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo amin dagitoy a banbanag? Ket sika, Jeremias, kunaemto kadakuada, 'Kas iti panangtallikudyo kenni Yahweh ken nagrukbabkayo kadagiti gangannaet a dios iti dagayo, agserbikayonto met ngarud kadagiti gangannaet iti daga a saanyo a kukua.'
And it shall come to pass, when ye will say, For what reason hath the Lord our God done all these things unto us? that thou shalt say unto them, In the same manner as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 Ipadamagmo daytoy iti balay ni Jacob ken ipangngegmo iti Juda. Kunaem,
Announce this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 'Dengngenyo daytoy, dakayo a maag a tattao nga awan pannakaawatna; addaan kadagiti mata, ngem saan a makakita. Addaanda kadagiti lapayag, ngem saan a makangngeg.
Do now hear this, O sottish people, who have no heart; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not;
22 Saankayo kadi nga agbuteng kaniak- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-wenno agpigerger iti sangoanak? Nangikabilak iti darat a kas pannakabeddeng ti baybay, maysa nga agnanayon a paglintegan a saanna a malabsing- uray pay agpangato ken agpababa ti baybay, kaskasdi a saanna a labsingen daytoy. Uray pay agdaranudor dagiti dalluyon daytoy, saanda a lumabes iti daytoy.
Will ye not fear me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand as a bound for the sea by an everlasting law, which it can never pass over? and though the waves thereof be upheaved, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
23 Ngem addaan iti natangken a panagpuspuso dagitoy a tattao. Nagsukir ken pimmanawda.
But this people hath a stubborn and a rebellious heart: they have departed [from the right] and have gone their way.
24 Ta saanda a kunaen kadagiti puspusoda, “Agbutengtayo kenni Yahweh a Diostayo, nga isu ti mangmangyeg iti tudo- ti umuna ken maudi a tudo- iti apag-isu a tiempoda, a mangipasigurado iti naituding a lawlawas a panagaapittayo.” Ti kinadakesyo ti nanglapped iti pannakapasamak dagitoy a banbanag.
And they have not said in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, the early and the latter rain, in its season: the appointed weeks of the harvest doth he ever preserve for us.
25 Dagiti basbasolyo ti nanglapped iti iyuumay ti naimbag kadakayo.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden what is good from you.
26 Ta adda nadangkes a lallaki a nailaok kadagiti tattaok. Agbanbantayda a kas iti maysa nga agar-arudok nga agtiliw kadagiti billit; mangipakatda iti palab-og ken tiliwenda dagiti tattao.
For there are found among my people wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that layeth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 Kas iti tangkal a napunno iti bilbillit, napnoan iti panangallilaw dagiti babbalayda. Isu a dimmakkel ken bimmaknangda.
As a coop is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore are they become great, and grown rich.
28 Limmukmegda; uray la simmileng dagiti kudilda iti kinapintas ti panagbiagda. Limmabesda kadagiti amin a beddeng ti kinadakes. Saanda nga ipakaasi ti kalintegan dagiti tattao, wenno ikanawa dagiti ulila. Rumangrang-ayda uray no saanda nga inikkan iti kalintegan dagiti agkasapulan.
They are grown fat, they are stout; yea, they surpass even the deeds of the wicked: they pronounce no [just] sentence, the sentence of the fatherless, that they might prosper; and the cause of the needy do they not judge.
29 Saan kadi a nasken a dusaek ida gapu kadagitoy a banbanag- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- ken saan kadi a rumbeng laeng a balsek ti nasion a kas iti daytoy?
shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: or shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?
30 Nakabutbuteng ken nakaal-alinggaget ti napasamak iti daga.
An astonishing and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 Nagipadto dagiti profeta iti inaallilaw, ken agturturay dagiti papadi iti bukodda a bileg. Kaykayat dagiti tattaok ti kastoy a wagas, ngem anianto ti mapasamak iti kamaudianan?
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; but what will ye do in the end thereof?
