Jeremias 25

1 Ang salita na dumating kay Jeremias tungkol sa buong bayan ng Juda nang ikaapat na taon ni Joacim na anak ni Josias, na hari sa Juda (siya ring unang taon ni Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia),

After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.

2 Na siyang sinalita ni Jeremias na propeta sa buong bayan ng Juda, at sa lahat ng nananahan sa Jerusalem, na sinasabi,

I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:

3 Mula nang ikalabing tatlong taon ni Josias na anak ni Ammon, na hari sa Juda, hanggang sa araw na ito, nitong dalawang pu't tatlong taon, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, at aking sinalita sa inyo na ako'y bumangong maaga, at nagsalita; nguni't hindi ninyo dininig.

“Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.

4 At sinugo ng Panginoon sa inyo ang lahat niyang lingkod na mga propeta na gumising na maaga, at sinugo sila (nguni't hindi ninyo dininig, o ikiniling man ninyo ang inyong pakinig upang mangakinig),

Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.

5 Na nangagsasabi, Magsihiwalay bawa't isa sa inyo sa kanikaniyang masamang lakad, at sa kasamaan ng inyong mga gawa, at kayo'y magsitahan sa lupain na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa inyo at sa inyong mga magulang, mula nang una at hanggang sa magpakailan pa man;

Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.

6 At huwag kayong magsisunod sa ibang mga dios na mangaglingkod sa kanila, at magsisamba sa kanila, at huwag ninyo akong mungkahiin sa galit ng gawa ng inyong mga kamay, at hindi ko kayo sasaktan.

Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’

7 Gayon ma'y hindi kayo nangakinig sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon; upang mungkahiin ninyo ako sa galit, ng gawa ng inyong mga kamay sa inyong sariling ikapapahamak.

And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.

8 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Sapagka't hindi ninyo dininig ang aking mga salita,

So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,

9 Narito, ako'y magsusugo at kukunin ko ang lahat na angkan sa hilagaan, sabi ng Panginoon, at ako'y magsusugo kay Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, na aking lingkod, at aking dadalhin sila laban sa lupaing ito, at laban sa mga nananahan dito, at laban sa lahat ng bansang ito sa palibot; at aking lubos na lilipulin sila, at gagawin ko silang katigilan, at kasutsutan, at mga walang hanggang kagibaan.

I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.

10 Bukod dito'y aalisin ko sa kanila ang tinig ng kalayawan at ang tinig ng kasayahan, ang tinig ng kasintahang lalaki at ang tinig ng kasintahang babae, ang tunog ng mga batong gilingan, at ang liwanag ng ilawan.

I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].

11 At ang buong lupaing ito ay magiging sira, at katigilan; at ang mga bansang ito ay maglilingkod sa hari sa Babilonia na pitong pung taon.

All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.

12 At mangyayari, pagkaganap ng pitong pung taon, na aking parurusahan ang hari sa Babilonia, at ang bansang yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, dahil sa kaniyang kasamaan, at ang lupain ng mga Caldeo; at aking gagawing sira magpakailan man.

Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.

13 At aking gaganapin sa lupaing yaon ang lahat na aking salita na aking sinalita laban doon, lahat ng nakasulat sa aklat na ito, na inihula ni Jeremias laban sa lahat na bansa.

I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.

14 Sapagka't maraming bansa at mga dakilang hari ay paglilingkuran nila, nila nga; at gagantihan ko sila ayon sa kanilang mga kilos, at ayon sa gawa ng kanilang mga kamay.

The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”

15 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, sa akin, Abutin mo itong saro ng alak ng kapusukan sa aking kamay, at painumin mo ang lahat na bansa na pinagsuguan ko sa iyo.

Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.

16 At sila'y magsisiinom, at magsisihapay na paroo't parito, na mangauulol, dahil sa tabak na aking pasasapitin sa kanila.

When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”

17 Nang magkagayo'y inabot ko ang saro sa kamay ng Panginoon, at pinainom ko ang lahat na bansang pinagsuguan ng Panginoon:

So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].

18 Sa makatuwid, ang Jerusalem, at ang mga bayan ng Juda, at ang mga hari niyaon, at ang mga prinsipe niyaon, upang gawin silang kagibaan, katigilan, kasutsutan, at sumpa; gaya sa araw na ito;

[I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.

19 Si Faraong hari sa Egipto, at ang kaniyang mga lingkod, at ang kaniyang mga prinsipe, at ang buong bayan niya;

[In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,

20 At ang lahat ng halohalong bayan, at ang lahat ng hari sa lupain ng Hus, at ang lahat ng hari sa lupain ng mga Filisteo, at ang Ascalon, at ang Gaza, at ang Ecron, at ang nalabi sa Asdod;

and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].

21 Ang Edom, at ang Moab, at ang mga anak ni Ammon;

[Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],

22 At ang lahat ng hari sa Tiro, at ang lahat ng hari sa Sidon, at ang hari sa pulo na nasa dako roon ng dagat;

and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].

23 Ang Dedan, at ang Tema, at ang Buz, at ang lahat ng magsisiputol ng mga laylayan ng kanilang buhok;

[In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].

24 At ang lahat ng hari sa Arabia, at ang lahat ng hari sa halohalong bayan na nagsisitahan sa ilang;

[In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert

25 At ang lahat ng hari sa Zimri, at ang lahat ng hari sa Elam, at ang lahat ng hari ng mga Medo;

and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],

26 At ang lahat ng hari sa hilagaan, malayo't malapit na isa't isa; at ang lahat ng kaharian sa sanglibutan, na nangasa ibabaw ng lupa: at ang hari sa Sesach ay magsisiinom pagkatapos nila.

and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].

27 At iyong sasabihin sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Kayo'y magsiinom, at kayo'y mangagpakalasing, at kayo'y magsisuka, at mangabuwal, at huwag na kayong magsibangon, dahil sa tabak na aking pasasapitin sa inyo.

Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.

28 At mangyayari, kung tanggihan nilang abutin ang saro sa iyong kamay upang inuman, sasabihin mo nga sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Kayo'y walang pagsalang magsisiinom.

If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.

29 Sapagka't, narito, ako'y nagpapasimulang gumawa ng kasamaan sa bayang tinawag sa aking pangalan, at kayo baga'y lubos na hindi mapaparusahan? Kayo'y walang pagsalang parurusahan; sapagka't aking tatawagin ang tabak laban sa lahat ng nananahan sa lupa, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.

I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’

30 Kaya't ihula mo laban sa kanila ang lahat ng mga salitang ito, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ang Panginoon ay uungol mula sa itaas, at ilalakas ang kaniyang tinig mula sa kaniyang banal na tahanan; siya'y uungol ng malakas laban sa kaniyang kulungan; siya'y hihiyaw, gaya nila na magsisiyapak ng ubas, laban sa lahat na nananahan sa lupa.

Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.

31 Ang ingay ay darating hanggang sa wakas ng lupa; sapagka't ang Panginoon ay may pakikipagpunyagi sa mga bansa, siya'y papasok sa paghatol sa lahat ng tao; tungkol sa masasama ay kaniyang ibibigay sila sa tabak, sabi ng Panginoon.

Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’

32 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Narito, kasamaan ay mangyayari sa bansa at bansa, at malakas na bagyo ay ibabangon mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng lupa.

Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.

33 At ang mapapatay ng Panginoon sa araw na yao'y magiging mula sa isang dulo ng lupa hanggang sa kabilang dulo ng lupa: sila'y hindi tataghuyan, o dadamputin man, o ililibing man; sila'y magiging dumi sa ibabaw ng lupa.

When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.

34 Kayo'y magsiangal, kayong mga pastor, at kayo'y magsihiyaw; at kayo'y mangagsigumon sa abo, kayong pinakamainam sa kawan; sapagka't ang mga kaarawan ng pagpatay at ang pangangalat sa inyo ay lubos na dumating, at kayo'y mangababagsak na parang mainam na sisidlan.

You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].

35 At ang mga pastor ay walang daang tatakasan, o tatanan man ang pinakamainam sa kawan.

You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.

36 Tinig ng hiyaw ng mga pastor, at ng angal ng pinakamainam sa kawan! sapagka't inilalagay ng Panginoon na sira ang kanilang pastulan.

[People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.

37 At ang mga payapang tahanan ay nangadala sa katahimikan dahil sa mabangis na galit ng Panginoon.

Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.

38 Kaniyang pinabayaan ang kaniyang kublihan na gaya ng leon; sapagka't ang kanilang lupain ay naging katigilan dahil sa kabangisan ng mamimighating tabak, at dahil sa kaniyang mabangis na kagalitan.

I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
