Jeremias 18
1 Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a kunana,
THE word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Tumakderka ket mapanka iti balay ti agdamdamili, ta ipakaammok kenka sadiay ti mensahek”
Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Isu a napanak iti balay ti agdamdamili, ket nakitak! Madama nga agtrabtrabaho ti agdamdamili iti pagdamilian.
Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 Ngem ti banga a suksukogenna ket nadadael iti imana, isu a binaliwanna daytoy ket nangaramid iti sabali a banag a napintas iti panagkitana.
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
6 “Saanko aya a kabaelan nga aramiden kadakayo balay ti Israel ti kas iti inaramid ti agdamdamili? -kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. Kitaenyo! kas iti pila nga adda iti ima ti agdamdamili- kasta ti kaaddayo iti imak, balay ti Israel.
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
7 Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalinko nga ipakaammo ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian a parutek daytoy, burakek wenno dadaelek daytoy.
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 Ngem no ti nasion a nangiballaagak ket tumallikud iti kinadakesna, saanko ngarud nga ituloy ti didigra a pangpanggepek nga iyeg iti daytoy.
If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 Iti aniaman a kanito, mabalin nga ibagak ti maysa a banag maipapan iti maysa a nasion wenno pagarian, a bangonek daytoy wenno ipatakderko daytoy.
And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 Ngem no mangaramid daytoy iti dakes iti imatangko, a saanna dengngen ti timekko, isardengkonto ngarud ti nasayaat nga imbagak nga aramidek para kadakuada.
If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11 Isu nga ita, agsaoka kadagiti lallaki iti Juda ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo, Umadanin ti panangparnuayko iti didigra kadakayo. Umadanin ti panangaramidko iti maysa a panggep a maibusor kadakayo. Tunggal tao ket agbabawi iti dinadangkes nga ar-aramidenna, tapno dagiti wagasyo ken dagiti aramidyo ket mangiyeg iti nasayaat kadakayo,
Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
12 Ngem ibagadanto, 'Awan serserbina daytoy. Agtignaykami segun kadagiti bukodmi a panggep. Aramidento ti tunggal maysa kadakami ti kinadakesna, dagiti tarigagay ti nasukir a pusona.'
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
13 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saludsodem kadagiti nasion, siasino ti nakangngeg iti kasta a banag a kas iti daytoy? Nakaaramid ti birhen nga Israel iti nakaal-alinggaget a tignay.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
14 Maawanan kadi iti niebe dagiti kabatbatoan a turod kadagiti away iti Lebanon? Matianan kadi dagiti waig iti bantay nga agayus manipud iti adayo?
Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
15 Ngem linipatdak dagiti tattaok. Nagidatonda kadagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ken naitibkulda kadagiti dalanda; pinanawanda dagiti nagkauna a dalan tapno magnada kadagiti basbassit a dalan.
Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
16 Agbalinto a nakabutbuteng ti dagada, maysa a banag nga agnanayon a pagsakuntipan. Amin a lumabas iti dagada ket agkintayeg ken agwingiwing.
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 Waraekto ida iti sangoanan dagiti kabusorda a kasla tapok nga intayab ti angin a naggapu iti daya. Tallikudakto ida ken saanak a sumango iti aldaw ti didigrada.'”
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 Isu a kinuna dagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, planwentayo ti dakes nga aramidentayo kenni Jeremias, agsipud ta saan a pulos a mapukaw ti linteg kadagiti padi, wenno balakad manipud kadagiti mamasirib a lallaki, wenno sasao manipud kadagiti profeta. Umaykayo, rautentayo isuna babaen kadagiti sasaotayo ket saantayon nga ipangag ti aniaman nga ibagbagana.
Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
19 Ipangagnak, O Yahweh! Ket denggem ti ariwawa dagiti kabusorko.
Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Didigra kadi ti gungunak iti kinaimbagko kadakuada? Ta nangkalida iti abut a para kaniak. Lagipem ti panagtakderko iti sangoanam tapno agsaoak para iti pagsayaatanda, tapno bumaaw ti pungtotmo kadakuada.
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 Iyawatmo ngarud dagiti annakda iti panagbisin, ken itedmo ida iti pannakabalin ti kampilan. Ipalubosmo koma a maulila ken mabalo dagiti assawada a babbai, ken mapapatay dagiti lallaki nga adda kadakuada, ken mapapatay dagiti agtutuboda a lallaki babaen iti kampilan iti gubat.
Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Mangngeg koma ti panagasug iti panagtuok manipud kadagiti babbalayda, bayat ti kellaat a panangiyegmo kadagiti mangraut kadakuada. Ta nagkalida iti maysa nga abut tapno tiliwendak ken nangipakatda kadagiti silo para kadagiti sakak.
Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Ngem Sika, O Yahweh, ammom amin dagiti panggepda a mangpapatay kaniak. Saanmo a pakawanen ti nakaro a kinadakesda ken dagiti basolda. Saanmo a punasen dagiti basolda kenka. Ngem ketdi, bay-am ida a maparmek iti sangoanam. Agtignayka a maibusor kadakuada iti tiempo ti pungtotmo.
Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
