Jeremias 13
1 Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka gumatang iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a lino ket ibidangmo daytoy, ngem saanmo pay laeng a basaen daytoy.”
The LORD said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water.”
2 Isu a gimmatangak iti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a kas imbilin ni Yahweh, ket imbidangko daytoy.
So I bought a belt according to the LORD’s word, and put it on my waist.
3 Kalpasanna, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak iti maikadua a daras a kinunana,
The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying,
4 “Alaem ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay a ginatangmo a nakabarikes iti siketmo, tumakderka ket mapanka idiay Eufrates. Ilemmengmo daytoy sadiay iti maysa a rengngat iti bato.”
“Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
5 Isu a napanak ket inlemmengko daytoy idiay Eufrates a kas imbilin ni Yahweh kaniak.
So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
6 Kalpasan iti adu nga aldaw, kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Tumakderka ket agsublika idiay Eufrates. Alaem manipud sadiay ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga imbagak kenka nga ilemmengmo.”
After many days, the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.”
7 Isu a nagsubliak idiay Eufrates ket kinalik ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti nangilemmengak iti daytoy. Ngem idi kinitak, nadadael ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay; awanen iti serserbi daytoy.
Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
8 Kalpasanna, immay manen ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana,
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Iti kasta met laeng a wagas, dadaelekto ti napalalo a kinatangsit ti Juda ken ti Jerusalem.
“The LORD says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 Dagitoy a nadangkes a tattao a nagkedked a dumngeg iti saok, nga agbibiag iti kinatangken ti pusoda, a simmurot kadagiti didiosen tapno agdayaw ken agrukbabda kadagitoy- kasladanto iti daytoy nga akin-uneg a pagan-anay nga awan serserbina.
This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
11 Ta kas iti irut ti pannakaisuot ti akin-uneg a pagan-anay iti siket ti maysa a tao, kasta ti panangpakapetko kaniak kadagiti amin a balay ti Israel ken kadagiti amin a balay ti Juda- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- nga agbalin a tattaok, a mangiyeg kaniak iti panangbigbig, panangdayaw ken panagraem. Ngem saanda a dumngeg kaniak.
For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’
12 Isu a masapul nga ibagam daytoy a sao kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: Tunggal karamba ket mapunnonto iti arak.' Kunaendanto kenka, “Saanmi aya nga ammo a pudno a mapunnonto iti arak ti tunggal karamba?'
“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’
13 Isu nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, ngannganikon barteken ti tunggal agnanaed iti daytoy a daga, dagiti ari a nakatugaw iti trono ni David, dagiti padi, dagiti profeta ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
Then tell them, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 Ket pagbibinnusurekto dagiti tattao, dagiti amma ken dagiti annak- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- saankonto ida a kaasian wenno makarikna iti panangisakit, ken saankonto ida nga ispalen iti pannakadadael.'”
I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the LORD: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.”’”
15 Dumngegkayo ken ipangagyo. Saankayo nga agtangtangsit, ta ni Yahweh ti nagsao.
Hear, and give ear. Do not be proud, for the LORD has spoken.
16 Dayawenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo sakbay nga iyegna ti kinasipnget, ken sakbay a pagtibkulennakayo kadagiti bantay iti sumipnget. Ta mangnamnamakayo iti lawag, ngem pagsipngetennanto iti kasta unay ti lugar, pagbalinenna a nasipnget nga ulep.
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.
17 Isu a no saankayo a dumngeg, agsangitak nga agmaymaysa gapu iti kinatangsityo. Siguradonto nga agsangitak ken agayus dagiti luak, ta naipanaw a kas balud ti arban ni Yahweh.
But if you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
18 Ibagam iti ari ken iti ina a reyna, ''Agpakumbabakayo ket agtugawkayo, ta naikkaten dagiti korona iti uloyo, ti kinatan-okyo ken ti dayagyo.'
Say to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your crowns have come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 Mairekepto dagiti siudad idiay Negeb, ket awan ti manglukat kadagitoy. Ti Juda ket maipanawto a kas balud, maipanawto a kas balud dagiti amin nga adda iti daytoy.
The cities of the South are shut up, and there is no one to open them. Judah is carried away captive: all of them. They are wholly carried away captive.
20 Tumangadka ket kitaem dagiti um-umay manipud iti amianan. Ayan ti arban nga intedna kenka, ti arban a napintas unay kenka?
Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?
21 Anianto ngata ti ibagam inton ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngatoem dagiti sinuroam tapno agbalin a gagayyemmo? Saan aya a dagitoy ti pangrugian dagiti ut-ot a mangparigatto kenka a kas iti maysa a babai nga agpaspasikal?
What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Will not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
22 Ket mabalin a kunaem iti pusom, 'Apay a mapaspasamak kaniak dagitoy a banbanag?' Dagiti nakaad-adu unay a basolmo it makagapu a nailukais dagiti paldam ken nagundawayanka.
If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer violence.
23 Kabaelan aya a sukatan dagiti tattao ti Kuz dagiti maris ti kudilda, wenno kabaelan aya a sukatan ti maysa a leopardo ti labang daytoy? No kabaelanda, sika a mismo, uray naruamka iti kinadangkes, mabaelam koma met ngarud ti agaramid iti nasayaat.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 Isu nga iwarawarakto ida a kas iti taep nga agpukaw iti angin ti let-ang.
“Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 Daytoy ti intedko kenka, ti bingay nga intudingko para kenka- kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh- gapu ta linipatnak ken nagtalekka iti inaallilaw.
This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
26 Isu a Siak a mismo, ikkatekto dagiti paldam, ket makitanto dagiti paset ti bagim nga illemlemmengmo.
Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame will appear.
27 Ti pannakikammalalam ken panaggartemmo, ti nakababain a dinederrep a kababalinmo iti rabaw dagiti turod ken kadagiti tay-ak! Ipakitakto dagitoy, dagitoy a makarimon a banbanag! Asika pay Jerusalem! Saankan a nadalus. Kasano pay kabayag ti panagtultuloy daytoy?”
I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”
