Judah Transgresses Against Yahweh
2 Now the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2 “Go and (A)call out in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh,
“I remember concerning you the (B)lovingkindness of your youth,
The love of your betrothals,
(C)Your walking after Me in the wilderness,
Through a land not sown.
3 Israel was (D)holy to Yahweh,
The (E)first of His produce.
(F)All who ate of it became guilty;
Evil came upon them,” declares Yahweh.’”
4 Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says Yahweh,
“(G)What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me
And walked after (H)vanity and became vain?
6 They did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh
Who (I)brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who (J)led us through the wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and of pits,
Through a land of drought and of the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no man inhabited?’
7 I brought you into the (K)fruitful land
To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and (L)defiled My land,
And My inheritance you made an abomination.
8 The (M)priests did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’
And those who handle the law (N)did not know Me;
The [a]shepherds also transgressed against Me,
And the (O)prophets prophesied by Baal
And walked after (P)things that did not profit.
9 “Therefore I will yet (Q)contend with you,” declares Yahweh,
“And with your sons’ sons I will contend.
10 For (R)cross to the coastlands of [b]Kittim and see,
And send to (S)Kedar and perceive closely
And see if there has been such a thing as this!
11 Has a nation changed gods
Though (T)they were not gods?
But My people have (U)changed their glory
For that which does not profit.
12 Be appalled, (V)O heavens, at this,
And be horribly afraid, be very devastated,” declares Yahweh.
13 “For My people have done two evils:
They have forsaken Me,
The (W)fountain of living waters,
To hew for themselves (X)cisterns,
Broken cisterns
That can hold no water.
14 “Is Israel (Y)a slave? Or is he a homeborn slave?
Why has he become plunder?
15 The young (Z)lions have roared at him;
They have given forth their voice.
And they have (AA)made his land a desolation;
His cities have been turned into ruin, without inhabitant.
16 Also the [c]men of (AB)Memphis and Tahpanhes
Have [d]shaved the (AC)top of your head.
17 Have you not (AD)done this to yourself
By your forsaking Yahweh your God
When He (AE)led you in the way?
18 But now what are you doing (AF)on the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of the [e](AG)Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
To drink the waters of the [f]River?
19 (AH)Your own evil will chastise you,
And your (AI)acts of faithlessness will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and (AJ)bitter
For you to forsake Yahweh your God,
And (AK)the dread of Me is not in you,” declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
20 “For long ago [g](AL)I broke your yoke
And tore off your bonds;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every (AM)high hill
And under every green tree
You have lain down as a harlot.
21 Yet I (AN)planted you a choice vine,
A completely true seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the (AO)degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
22 Although you (AP)wash yourself with lye
And [h]use much soap,
The (AQ)stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares Lord Yahweh.
23 “(AR)How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;
I have not walked after the (AS)Baals’?
Look at your way in the (AT)valley!
Know what you have done!
You are a swift young camel (AU)entangling her ways,
24 A (AV)wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness,
That sniffs the wind in her passion.
In the time of her [i]heat who can turn her away?
All who seek her will not become weary;
In her month they will find her.
25 Keep your feet from being barefoot
And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘(AW)It is [j]hopeless!
No! For I have (AX)loved strangers,
And after them I will walk.’
26 “As the (AY)thief is shamed when he is found,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their princes,
And their priests and their prophets,
27 Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their (AZ)back to Me
And not their face;
But in the (BA)time when their evil comes they will say,
‘Arise and save us.’
28 But where are your (BB)gods
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can (BC)save you
In the time when your evil comes;
For (BD)according to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
29 “Why do you contend with Me?
You have (BE)all transgressed against Me,” declares Yahweh.
30 “(BF)In vain I have struck your sons;
They received no discipline.
Your (BG)sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, [k]behold the word of Yahweh.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
Or a (BH)land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘(BI)We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have (BJ)forgotten Me
Days without number.
33 How well you prepare your way
To seek love!
Therefore even [l]the wicked women
You have taught your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
The (BK)lifeblood of the innocent needy;
You did not find them (BL)breaking in.
But in spite of all these things,
35 Yet you said, ‘I am innocent;
Surely His anger is turned away from me.’
Behold, I will (BM)enter into judgment with you
Because you (BN)say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36 Why do you (BO)despise Him so much
In changing your way?
Also, (BP)you will be put to shame by Egypt
As you were put to shame by (BQ)Assyria.
37 From this place also you will go out
With (BR)your hands on your head;
For Yahweh has rejected (BS)those in whom you trust,
And you will not succeed with them.”

Israel Forsakes God
2 The word(A) of the Lord came to me: 2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem:
“This is what the Lord says:
“‘I remember the devotion of your youth,(B)
how as a bride you loved me
and followed me through the wilderness,(C)
through a land not sown.
3 Israel was holy(D) to the Lord,(E)
the firstfruits(F) of his harvest;
all who devoured(G) her were held guilty,(H)
and disaster overtook them,’”
declares the Lord.
4 Hear the word of the Lord, you descendants of Jacob,
all you clans of Israel.
5 This is what the Lord says:
“What fault did your ancestors find in me,
that they strayed so far from me?
They followed worthless idols(I)
and became worthless(J) themselves.
6 They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord,
who brought us up out of Egypt(K)
and led us through the barren wilderness,
through a land of deserts(L) and ravines,(M)
a land of drought and utter darkness,
a land where no one travels(N) and no one lives?’
7 I brought you into a fertile land
to eat its fruit and rich produce.(O)
But you came and defiled my land
and made my inheritance detestable.(P)
8 The priests did not ask,
‘Where is the Lord?’
Those who deal with the law did not know me;(Q)
the leaders(R) rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by Baal,(S)
following worthless idols.(T)
9 “Therefore I bring charges(U) against you again,”
declares the Lord.
“And I will bring charges against your children’s children.
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus(V) and look,
send to Kedar[a](W) and observe closely;
see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods?
(Yet they are not gods(X) at all.)
But my people have exchanged their glorious(Y) God
for worthless idols.
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,
and shudder with great horror,”
declares the Lord.
13 “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken(Z) me,
the spring of living water,(AA)
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
14 Is Israel a servant, a slave(AB) by birth?
Why then has he become plunder?
15 Lions(AC) have roared;
they have growled at him.
They have laid waste(AD) his land;
his towns are burned(AE) and deserted.(AF)
16 Also, the men of Memphis(AG) and Tahpanhes(AH)
have cracked your skull.
17 Have you not brought this on yourselves(AI)
by forsaking(AJ) the Lord your God
when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt(AK)
to drink water from the Nile[b]?(AL)
And why go to Assyria(AM)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(AN)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(AO) will rebuke(AP) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(AQ) it is for you
when you forsake(AR) the Lord your God
and have no awe(AS) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke(AT)
and tore off your bonds;(AU)
you said, ‘I will not serve you!’(AV)
Indeed, on every high hill(AW)
and under every spreading tree(AX)
you lay down as a prostitute.(AY)
21 I had planted(AZ) you like a choice vine(BA)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(BB) wild vine?
22 Although you wash(BC) yourself with soap(BD)
and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(BE)
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(BF)
I have not run after the Baals’?(BG)
See how you behaved in the valley;(BH)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(BI) here and there,
24 a wild donkey(BJ) accustomed to the desert,(BK)
sniffing the wind in her craving—
in her heat who can restrain her?
Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves;
at mating time they will find her.
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(BL)
I love foreign gods,(BM)
and I must go after them.’(BN)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(BO) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(BP) and their prophets.(BQ)
27 They say to wood,(BR) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(BS) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(BT) to me
and not their faces;(BU)
yet when they are in trouble,(BV) they say,
‘Come and save(BW) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(BX) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(BY)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(BZ)
29 “Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all(CA) rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
30 “In vain I punished your people;
they did not respond to correction.(CB)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(CC)
like a ravenous lion.
31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:
“Have I been a desert to Israel
or a land of great darkness?(CD)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
we will come to you no more’?(CE)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(CF) me,
days without number.
33 How skilled you are at pursuing(CG) love!
Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
the lifeblood(CH) of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.(CI)
Yet in spite of all this
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(CJ)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(CK) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(CL)
36 Why do you go about so much,
changing(CM) your ways?
You will be disappointed by Egypt(CN)
as you were by Assyria.
37 You will also leave that place
with your hands on your head,(CO)
for the Lord has rejected those you trust;
you will not be helped(CP) by them.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Jeremias 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Itinakwil ng Israel ang Panginoon
2 Sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, 2 “Puntahan mo ang mga taga-Jerusalem at sabihin mo ito sa kanila: ‘Natatandaan ko ang katapatan at pagmamahal nʼyo sa akin noon na katulad ng babaeng bagong kasal. Sinundan nʼyo ako kahit sa ilang na walang tumutubong mga tanim. 3 Kayong mga Israelita ay ibinukod para sa akin. Para kayong pinakaunang bunga na ibinigay sa akin. Pinarusahan ko ang mga nanakit sa inyo, at napahamak sila. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito.’ ”
4 Pakinggan nʼyo ang mensahe ng Panginoon, kayong mga mamamayan ng Israel na lahi ni Jacob. 5 Ito ang sinabi niya, “Anong kasalanan ang nakita ng mga ninuno nʼyo sa akin at tinalikuran nila ako? Sumusunod sila sa walang kwentang mga dios-diosan, kaya sila rin ay naging walang kabuluhan. 6 Hindi na nila ako hinanap kahit na ako ang naglabas sa kanila sa Egipto at nanguna sa kanila sa ilang na walang tanim – ang lupang tuyo, may mga hukay, mapanganib at walang tumitira o dumadaan. 7 Mula rooʼy dinala ko sila sa magandang lupain para makinabang sa kasaganaan ng ani nito. Pero nang naroon na kayo, dinungisan nʼyo ang lupain ko at ginawa itong kasuklam-suklam. 8 Kahit ang mga pari ay hindi ako hinanap. Ang mga nagtuturo ng kautusan ay hindi ako kilala.[a] Ang mga pinuno ay naghimagsik laban sa akin. At ang mga propeta ay nagpahayag sa pangalan ni Baal at sumunod sa walang kwentang mga dios-diosan. 9 Kaya susumbatan ko silang muli, pati ang magiging angkan ninyo. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito.
10 “Tumawid kayo sa kanluran, sa mga isla ng Kitim, at magsugo kayo ng magmamasid ng mabuti sa silangan, sa lupain ng Kedar, at tingnan kung may nangyaring tulad nito: 11 May bansa bang nagpalit ng kanilang dios, kahit na hindi ito mga tunay na dios? Pero ako, ang dakilang Dios, ay ipinagpalit ng aking mga mamamayan sa mga dios na walang kabuluhan. 12 Nangilabot ang buong kalangitan sa ginawa nila; at nayanig ito sa laki ng pagkagulat. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito.
13 “Gumawa ang mga mamamayan ko ng dalawang kasalanan: Itinakwil nila ako, ang bukal na nagbibigay-buhay, at sumamba sila sa ibang mga dios, na para bang naghukay sila ng lalagyan ng tubig na natutuyo. 14 Ang Israel ay hindi ipinanganak na alipin. Bakit binibiktima siya ng mga kaaway? 15 Ang mga kaaway niya ay parang mga leon na umuungal sa kanya. Sinira nila ang kanyang lupain, sinunog ang mga bayan at hindi na ito tinitirhan. 16 Ang mga taga-Memfis at mga taga-Tapanhes ang nagwasak sa kanya.[b]
17 “Kayong mga Israelita na rin ang nagdala ng kapahamakang ito sa sarili ninyo. Sapagkat itinakwil nʼyo ako, ang Panginoon na inyong Dios, akong pumatnubay sa paglalakbay ninyo. 18 Ngayon, ano ang napala ninyo sa inyong paglapit sa Egipto at Asiria? Bakit kayo pumupunta sa Ilog ng Nilo[c] at Ilog ng Eufrates? 19 Parurusahan ko kayo dahil sa kasamaan at pagtakwil nʼyo sa akin. Isipin nʼyo kung gaano kasama at kapait ang ginawa nʼyong pagtakwil at paglapastangan sa Panginoon na inyong Dios. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.
20 “Noong inalipin kayo, para kayong bakang nakapamatok, o mga bilanggong nakakadena. Pero nang mapalaya ko na kayo, ayaw naman ninyong maglingkod sa akin. Sa halip, sumamba kayo sa mga dios-diosan sa bawat matataas na burol at sa ilalim ng bawat malalagong punongkahoy. Katulad kayo ng babaeng bayaran. 21 Para kayong isang pinakamabuting klase ng ubas na aking itinanim. Pero bakit lumabas kayong bulok at walang kabuluhang ubas? 22 Maligo man kayo at magsabon nang magsabon, makikita ko pa rin ang dumi ng mga kasalanan ninyo. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.
23 “Paano nʼyo nasasabing hindi kayo nadumihan at hindi kayo sumamba sa dios-diosang si Baal? Tingnan nʼyo kung anong kasalanan ang ginawa nʼyo sa lambak ng Hinom. Isipin nʼyo ang ginawa nʼyong kasalanan. Para kayong babaeng kamelyo na hindi mapalagay dahil naghahanap ng lalaki. 24 Para rin kayong babaeng asnong-gubat na masidhi ang pagnanasa na magpakasta, sa tindi ng kanyang pagnanasa ay walang makakapigil sa kanya. Ang lalaking asno ay hindi na mahihirapang maghanap sa kanya. Madali siyang hanapin sa panahon ng pagpapakasta niya.
25 “Mga taga-Israel, napudpod na ang mga sandalyas nʼyo at natuyo na mga lalamunan nʼyo sa pagsunod sa ibang mga dios. Pero sinasabi nʼyo, ‘Hindi namin maaaring itakwil ang ibang mga dios. Mahal namin sila at susunod kami sa kanila.’
26 “Tulad ng isang magnanakaw na napapahiya kapag nahuli, mapapahiya rin kayong mga taga-Israel. Talagang mapapahiya kayo, pati ang mga hari, pinuno, pari, at mga propeta ninyo. 27 Sinasabi ninyo na ang kahoy ang inyong ama at ang bato naman ang inyong ina. Itinakwil nʼyo ako, pero kapag naghihirap kayo, humihingi kayo ng tulong sa akin. 28 Bakit? Nasaan na ang mga dios na ginawa ninyo para sa inyong sarili? Tawagin ninyo sila kung kaya nila kayong iligtas sa paghihirap ninyo. Sapagkat napakarami ninyong dios, kasindami ng mga bayan sa Juda. 29 Bakit kayo nagrereklamo sa akin? Hindi baʼt kayo ang naghimagsik sa akin? 30 Pinarusahan ko ang mga anak nʼyo, pero hindi sila nagbago. Ayaw nilang magpaturo. Kayo na rin ang pumatay sa mga propeta nʼyo gaya ng pagpatay ng mabangis at gutom na leon sa kanyang biktima.
31 “Kayong mga mamamayan sa henerasyong ito, pakinggan ninyo ang sinasabi ko. Ako baʼy parang isang ilang para sa inyo na mga taga-Israel, o kayaʼy parang isang lugar na napakadilim? Bakit ninyo sinasabi na, ‘Bahala na kami sa gusto naming gawin. Ayaw na naming lumapit sa Dios.’
32 “Makakalimutan ba ng isang dalaga ang kanyang mga alahas o ang damit niyang pangkasal? Pero kayong mga hinirang ko, matagal na ninyo akong kinalimutan. 33 Magaling kayong humabol sa minamahal ninyo na mga dios-diosan. Kahit ang mga babaeng bayaran ay matututo pa sa inyo. 34 Ang mga damit ninyoʼy may mga bahid ng dugo ng mga taong walang kasalanan at mga dukha. Pinatay nʼyo sila kahit na hindi nʼyo sila nahuling pumasok sa mga bahay nʼyo para magnakaw. Pero kahit ginawa nʼyo ito, 35 sinabi nʼyo pa rin, ‘Wala akong kasalanan. Hindi galit sa akin ang Panginoon!’ Pero talagang parurusahan ko kayo dahil sinabi ninyong wala kayong kasalanan.
36 “Pangkaraniwan lang sa inyo ang magpapalit-palit ng mga kakamping bansa. Pero hihiyain kayo ng Egipto na kakampi nʼyo, gaya ng ginawa sa inyo ng Asiria. 37 Aalis kayo sa Egipto na nakatakip ang inyong kamay sa mukha dahil sa kahihiyan at pagdadalamhati. Sapagkat itinakwil ko na ang mga bansang pinagkatiwalaan ninyo. Hindi na kayo matutulungan ng mga bansang iyon.

Jeremiah 2
King James Version
2 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
4 Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5 Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children's children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.
23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
