Jeremias 3
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
3 “Kon bulagan sang bana ang iya asawa kag magpamana liwat ang iya asawa, indi niya siya pagbawion, kay makapahigko gid ini sa inyo duta. Kamo nga mga Israelinhon nagakabuhi pareho sang babayi nga nagabaligya sang iya lawas. Madamo ang inyo mga ginahigugma nga mga dios-dios. Pero sa pihak sini, ginatawag ko gihapon kamo sa pagbalik sa akon. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.
2 “Tan-awa ang mahawan nga mga bukid nga ginasimbahan ninyo. May lugar pa bala didto nga wala ninyo mahigkuan? Ginhigkuan ninyo ang duta tungod sa inyo nga pagsimba sa mga dios-dios kag sa inyo kalautan. Pareho kamo sa babayi nga nagabaligya sang iya lawas, nga nagapungko sa higad sang dalan nga nagahulat sang lalaki. Pareho man kamo sang hurong[a] nga nagahulat sang iya mabiktima sa kamingawan. 3 Amo ini kon ngaa wala mag-ulan sa tion sang tig-ululan. Kay pareho na gid kamo sa isa ka babayi nga nagabaligya sang iya lawas, nga wala na gid sing huya. 4 Kag karon nagasiling kamo sa akon, ‘Amay ko, kaupod[b] ko ikaw halin sang bata pa ako. 5 Permi ka na lang bala akig sa akon? Ang imo bala kaakig magpadayon hasta san-o?’ Amo ina ang inyo ginahambal, pero ginahimo ninyo ang tanan nga malaot nga inyo mahimo.”
Ginsunod sang Juda ang Israel
6 Sang panahon sang paghari ni Josia, nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, “Nakita mo bala ang ginhimo sang indi matutom nga Israel? Nagsimba siya sa mga dios-dios sa tagsa ka mataas nga bukid kag sa idalom sang tagsa ka madabong nga kahoy. Pareho siya sa babayi nga nagpanginlalaki. 7 Abi ko pagkatapos nga nahimo niya ini tanan magabalik siya sa akon, pero wala siya magbalik. Kag nakita ini sang iya maluibon nga utod nga amo ang Juda. 8 Ginbulagan ko ang Israel kag ginpalakat tungod sang iya pagpanginlalaki nga amo ang pagsimba sa mga dios-dios. Pero nakita ko nga ang iya maluibon nga utod nga amo ang Juda wala mahadlok sa pihak sini. Nagpanginlalaki man siya 9 paagi sa pagsimba sa mga dios-dios nga bato kag kahoy, gani ginhigkuan niya ang duta. Ginsunod niya ini kay wala man lang sing kaso sa iya ang pagsimba sa mga dios-dios. 10 Sa pihak sina tanan, wala nagbalik sa akon sing sinsero ang maluibon nga Juda. Nagpakuno-kuno lang siya nga nagbalik sa akon. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”
11 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, “Bisan indi matutom ang Israel sa akon mas maayo pa sila sang sa maluibon nga Juda. 12 Karon, lakat ka, kag isugid ini nga mensahi sa Israel:[c] Ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling: Magbalik ka, Israel nga indi matutom, kay maluluy-on ako. Indi ako maakig sa imo hasta san-o. 13 Akuon mo lang ang imo sala nga nagrebelde ka sa Ginoo nga imo Dios kag nagsunod sa iban nga mga dios paagi sa pagsimba sa ila sa idalom sang tagsa ka madabong nga kahoy. Akuon mo nga wala ka magtuman sa akon. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”
14 Nagsiling pa ang Ginoo, “Magbalik kamo, mga anak nga indi matutom, kay akon kamo.[d] Kuhaon ko ang isa ukon duha sa inyo halin sa kada banwa ukon tribo, kag dal-on sa Israel.[e] 15 Dayon, hatagan ko kamo sang mga pangulo nga akon naluyagan nga magapangulo sa inyo nga may ihibalo kag may pag-intiendi. 16 Ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling nga kon mag-abot na ang tion nga magdamo na gid kamo sa sina nga duta, indi na ninyo paghandumon pa ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan. Indi na ninyo ini paghunahunaon ukon pagdumdumon. Indi na ninyo ini pagkahidlawan, kag indi na kamo maghimo liwat sang sini nga kahon. 17 Sa sina nga tion, pagatawgon ninyo ang Jerusalem nga ‘Trono sang Ginoo’ kag ang tanan nga nasyon magatipon sa Jerusalem sa pagpadungog sa ngalan sang Ginoo. Indi na nila pagpasundan ang katig-a sang ila malaot nga tagipusuon. 18 Sa sina nga mga inadlaw, ang katawhan sang Juda kag sang Israel magaupod sa pagbalik halin sa pagkabihag sa aminhan pakadto sa duta nga ginhatag ko sa ila mga katigulangan bilang palanublion. 19 Ako mismo ang nagsiling, ‘Malipayon gid ako nga kabigon kamo nga akon mga anak kag hatagan sang maayo nga duta, nga amo ang pinakamatahom nga palanublion sa bug-os nga kalibutan.’ Abi ko tawgon ninyo ako nga ‘Amay’ kag indi na kamo magbiya sa akon. 20 Pero, pareho sang isa ka asawa nga maluibon sa iya bana, amo man kamo sa akon, katawhan sang Israel. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.
21 “Mabatian ang ginahod sa ibabaw sang mahawan nga mga bukid. Nagahilibion kag nagapakitluoy ang katawhan sang Israel. Kay malaot na ang ila pagginawi kag ginkalimtan nila ako, ang Ginoo nga ila Dios. 22 Katawhan nga indi matutom, magbalik kamo sa akon kay ayuhon ko ang inyo pagkabalingag.”
Nagsabat sila, “Huo, magapalapit kami sa imo kay ikaw ang Ginoo nga amon Dios. 23 Matuod gid nga ang amon pagsimba sa mga dios-dios sa mga bukid sayop gid. Sa imo gid lang ang kaluwasan sang Israel, O Ginoo nga amon Dios. 24 Halin sang pamatan-on pa kami ang makahuluya nga mga dios-dios amo ang nagpulos sang bunga sang kinabudlayan sang amon mga katigulangan, nga amo ang ila mga kasapatan kag mga kabataan. 25 Dapat kami magpanago sa kahuya kay kami kag ang amon mga katigulangan nakasala kontra sa imo, O Ginoo nga amon Dios. Halin sang pamatan-on pa kami hasta subong, wala kami nagsunod sa imo.”

3 “If a man divorces(A) his wife
and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
Would not the land be completely defiled?(B)
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers(C)—
would you now return to me?”(D)
declares the Lord.
2 “Look up to the barren heights(E) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(F) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(G)
with your prostitution(H) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(I)
and no spring rains(J) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(K) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(L)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(M) my friend from my youth,(N)
5 will you always be angry?(O)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
Unfaithful Israel
6 During the reign of King Josiah,(P) the Lord said to me, “Have you seen what faithless(Q) Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree(R) and has committed adultery(S) there. 7 I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister(T) Judah saw it.(U) 8 I gave faithless Israel(V) her certificate of divorce(W) and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear;(X) she also went out and committed adultery. 9 Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land(Y) and committed adultery(Z) with stone(AA) and wood.(AB) 10 In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return(AC) to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,(AD)” declares the Lord.(AE)
11 The Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel is more righteous(AF) than unfaithful(AG) Judah.(AH) 12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north:(AI)
“‘Return,(AJ) faithless(AK) Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’(AL) declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry(AM) forever.
13 Only acknowledge(AN) your guilt—
you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods(AO)
under every spreading tree,(AP)
and have not obeyed(AQ) me,’”
declares the Lord.
14 “Return,(AR) faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband.(AS) I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. 15 Then I will give you shepherds(AT) after my own heart,(AU) who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. 16 In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark(AV) of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered;(AW) it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne(AX) of the Lord, and all nations(AY) will gather in Jerusalem to honor(AZ) the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.(BA) 18 In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel,(BB) and together(BC) they will come from a northern(BD) land to the land(BE) I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
19 “I myself said,
“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children
and give you a pleasant land,(BF)
the most beautiful inheritance(BG) of any nation.’
I thought you would call me ‘Father’(BH)
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you, Israel, have been unfaithful(BI) to me,”
declares the Lord.
21 A cry is heard on the barren heights,(BJ)
the weeping(BK) and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
and have forgotten(BL) the Lord their God.
“Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(BP)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(BQ) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(BR) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,(BS)
and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(BT) against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors;(BU)
from our youth(BV) till this day
we have not obeyed(BW) the Lord our God.”

3 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.
