< 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.
“At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
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 spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
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.
Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Hosts.
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?
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
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.
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
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 listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the 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.
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
8 Apay a kunayo, “Nasiribkami! Ken adda kadakami ti linteg ni Yahweh”? Pudno, kitaenyo! Ti manangallilaw a pagsurat dagiti eskriba ket nangparnuay iti panangallilaw.
“‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
9 Mabainanto dagiti masirib a lallaki. Nabainan ken napalab-oganda. Kitaenyo! laklaksidenda ti sao ni Yahweh, isu nga ania ti serbi ti kinasiribda?
The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
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.
Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
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 have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
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.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
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 utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from them.’”
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.
“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Mangnamnamatayo iti kappia, ngem awanto a pulos iti nasayaat. Mangnamnamatayo iti tiempo ti pannakapaimbag, ngem kitaenyo, addanto panagbuteng.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
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.
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 Ta kitaenyo, mangibaonak kadagiti uleg kadakayo, kadagiti karasaen a saanyo a mapaamo. Kagatendakayonto— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
“For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
18 Awan iti patinggana ti ladingitko, ken masaksaktan ti pusok.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
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?
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t the LORD in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
20 Naglabasen ti panagapit, nalpasen ti panawen iti kalgaw. Ngem saantayo a naisalakan.
“The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
21 Masakitanak gapu iti pannakapasakit ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok. Maladingitanak kadagiti nakaam-amak a banbanag a napasamak kenkuana; Maupayak.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Awan kadi iti agas idiay Galaad? Awan kadi iti mangngagas sadiay? Apay a saan a mapaimbag ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
