Jeremias 8
1 Iti dayta a tiempo— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— iruardanto manipud kadagiti tanem dagiti tulang dagiti ari ti Juda ken dagiti ofisialna, dagiti tulang dagiti papadi ken dagiti profeta, ken dagiti tulang dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
2 Ket iwaradanto dagitoy iti lawag ti init ken bulan ken kadagiti amin a bituen iti tangatang; dagitoy a banbanag iti tangatang a sinurot ken nagserbianda, a kinamkamatda ken binirokda, ken dinaydayawda. Saanto a maurnong wenno maitabon manen dagiti tulang. Kasladanto rugit iti rabaw ti daga.
They will take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
3 Iti tunggal nabatbati a lugar a nangipanak kadakuada, piliendanto ti patay imbes a biag para kadagiti bagbagida, amin a nabati pay laeng manipud iti daytoy a dakes a nasion— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
And all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Isu nga ibagam kadakuada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adda kadi siasinoman a matumba a saan a bumangon? Adda kadi siasinoman a maiyaw-awan a saan a mangikagumaan nga agsubli?
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
5 Apay ta dagitoy a tattao iti Jerusalem, timmallikodda ket naglaylayunen ti panagbalinda a saan a napudno kaniak? Agtultuloyda iti panangallilaw ken saanda kayat nga agbabawi.
[Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
6 Sipapasnekak a dimngeg, ngem saanda a nagsao iti umno; awan ti uray maysa nga agbabawi iti kinadangkesna, awan iti agkuna, “Ania iti naaramidko?” Mapanda amin iti kayatda a papanan, a kasla maysa a kalakian a kabalio nga agdardaras a mapan iti gubatan.
I have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a battle.
7 Uray ti kannaway idiay langit ket ammona ti umno a tiempo; ken dagiti kalapati, sallapingaw ken tipor. Umakarda met iti umno a tiempo, ngem dagiti tattaok, saanda nga ammo dagiti bilin ni Yahweh.
All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
8 Apay a kunayo, “Nasiribkami! Ken adda kadakami ti linteg ni Yahweh”? Pudno, kitaenyo! Ti manangallilaw a pagsurat dagiti eskriba ket nangparnuay iti panangallilaw.
Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
9 Mabainanto dagiti masirib a lallaki. Nabainan ken napalab-oganda. Kitaenyo! laklaksidenda ti sao ni Yahweh, isu nga ania ti serbi ti kinasiribda?
Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
10 Isu nga itedkonto dagiti assawada iti sabali, ken dagiti talonda kadagiti mangtagikua kadagitoy, ta manipud iti kanunumoan agingga iti kapapatgan, aminda ket nakaro ti kinaagumda! Manipud iti profeta agingga iti padi, manangallilawda amin.
So, I will give their wives to other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
11 Ta inagasanda ti sugat ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok a kasla awan aniamanna a banag. Kinunada, “Kappia, Kappia,” ngem awan ti kappia.
[They act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
12 Nagbainda kadi idi nagaramidda kadagiti makarimon? Saanda a nagbain. Awan iti kinapakumbabada. Isu a matnagdanto iti tiempo ti pannakadusada, a kadua dagiti natnagen. Kanibusanandanto, kuna ni Yahweh.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
13 Ikkatekto ida a naan-anay— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— awanto iti bunga ti ubas, awanto met iti bunga dagiti kayo nga igos. Ta malaylayto ti bulong, ken mapukawto ti intedko kadakuada.
I will [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
14 Apay pay laeng nga agtugtugawtayo ditoy? Agkukuyogtayo, mapantayo kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad, ket agulimektayonto sadiay ta mataytayo. Ta pagulimekennatayonto ni Yahweh a Diostayo. Painomennatayonto iti sabidong, agsipud ta nagbasoltayo kenkuana.
[Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison to drink, because we sinned against him.
15 Mangnamnamatayo iti kappia, ngem awanto a pulos iti nasayaat. Mangnamnamatayo iti tiempo ti pannakapaimbag, ngem kitaenyo, addanto panagbuteng.
We hoped/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
16 Ti banang-es dagiti kalakian a kabaliona ket nangngeg iti Dan. Aggungungon ti entero a daga iti panaggaraigi dagiti nabileg a kabaliona. Ta umayda ket dadaelenda ti daga ken ti kinabaknang daytoy, ti siudad ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy.
People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
17 Ta kitaenyo, mangibaonak kadagiti uleg kadakayo, kadagiti karasaen a saanyo a mapaamo. Kagatendakayonto— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
[Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
18 Awan iti patinggana ti ladingitko, ken masaksaktan ti pusok.
I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
19 Denggenyo, ti um-umkis a timek dagiti annak a babai dagiti tattaok manipud iti adayo a daga! Saan kadi nga adda ni Yahweh idiay Zion? Wenno saan kadi nga adda iti Zion ti arina? Apay ngarud a pinagpungtotdak gapu kadagiti imahen ken kadagiti awan serserbina a gangannaet a didiosen?
Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
20 Naglabasen ti panagapit, nalpasen ti panawen iti kalgaw. Ngem saantayo a naisalakan.
[The people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
21 Masakitanak gapu iti pannakapasakit ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok. Maladingitanak kadagiti nakaam-amak a banbanag a napasamak kenkuana; Maupayak.
I cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
22 Awan kadi iti agas idiay Galaad? Awan kadi iti mangngagas sadiay? Apay a saan a mapaimbag ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok?
[I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
