Ang Silot sa Jerusalem kag Juda

Pamati! Kuhaon sang Ginoo, ang Makagagahom nga Ginoo, ang tanan nga ginasaligan sang mga tawo sa Jerusalem kag Juda: ang ila kalan-on kag tubig, ang ila bantog nga mga tawo, mga soldado, mga manughukom, mga propeta, mga manugpakot, mga manugdumala, mga pangulo sang ila mga soldado, mga dungganon nga mga tawo, mga manuglaygay, kag ang ila hanas nga mga madyikero[a] kag mga babaylan. Pagamhan sila sang Ginoo[b] sa mga pamatan-on. Piguson sang tagsa ka tawo ang iya isigkatawo. Ang mga bata magabato sa mga tigulang kag ang mga kubos sa mga dungganon.

6-7 Sa sina nga tion kadtuan sang isa ka tawo ang iya paryente kag silingon, “Tungod nga maayo pa man ang bayo mo, ikaw na lang ang magpangulo sa amon sa sining tion nga guba ang aton lugar.” Pero magasabat siya, “Indi ko kamo mabuligan. Wala man gani sing kalan-on ukon bayo ang akon panimalay, gani indi ninyo ako paghimua nga pangulo.”

Sigurado nga malaglag ang Jerusalem kag ang Juda, tungod kay ang ila mga ginahimo kag ginahambal kontra sa Ginoo. Nagarebelde sila sa gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo. Ang ila hitsura nagasaksi kontra sa ila. Nagapakasala sila sing hayag pareho sang ginhimo sang taga-Sodom. Wala nila ini ginatago. Kaluluoy sila! Sila mismo ang nagdala sang kalaglagan sa ila kaugalingon.

10 Hambali ninyo ang mga matarong nga masuwerte sila, kay anihon nila ang bunga sang ila maayo nga mga binuhatan. 11 Pero kaluluoy ang mga malaot, kay magaabot sa ila ang kalalat-an. Balusan sila sa ila mga ginhimo.

12 Nagsiling ang Ginoo, “Ginapigos sang mga pamatan-on ang akon katawhan. Ginagamhan sila sang mga babayi.

“Mga katawhan ko, ginapatalang kamo sang inyo mga pangulo. Ginatuytuyan nila kamo sa indi husto nga dalan.”

13 Handa na ang Ginoo nga maghukom sa iya katawhan.[c] 14 Hukman niya ang mga manugdumala kag mga pangulo sang iya katawhan. Amo ini ang iya akusasyon sa ila, “Gin-guba ninyo ang akon talamnan sang ubas nga amo ang akon katawhan. Ang inyo mga balay puno sang mga butang nga ginpanguha ninyo sa mga imol. 15 Ngaa ginadaogdaog ninyo ang akon katawhan kag ginapigos ang mga imol?” Amo ini ang ginsiling sang Ginoong Dios nga Makagagahom.

16 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo, “Bugalon ang mga babayi sa Jerusalem.[d] Daw si sin-o sila kon maglakat, kag ginapakalas pa nila ang mga alahas sa ila tiil. Kag kon magtulok sila dala pangilay. 17 Gani hatagan ko sila sang katol sa ulo, kag makalbo sila.”

18 Sa sina nga tion, kuhaon sang Ginoo ang ila mga alahas sa ila tiil, ulo, kag liog. 19 Kuhaon man sa ila ang ila mga aritos, pulseras, bandana, 20 turban, alahas sa butkon, wagkos, pahamot, kag anting-anting. 21 Kuhaon pa gid ang ila mga singsing sa tudlo kag sa ilong, 22 ang ila malahalon nga mga bayo, ang ila kapa, kunop, kahita, 23 espiho, bayo nga linen, turban, kag belo. 24 Sa baylo nga mahamot sila, magabaho sila. Lubid ang ila ipaha, kag kalbuhon ang matahom nila nga buhok. Ang malahalon nila nga bayo ilisan sang sako, kag madula ang ila katahom.

25 Magakalamatay sa inaway ang mga lalaki sang Jerusalem bisan pa ang maisog nila nga mga soldado. 26 May pagpangasubo kag paghinibi sa mga puwertahan sang siyudad. Kag ang siyudad mismo mangin pareho sa isa ka babayi nga nagalumpiga sa duta, nga nadula ang tanan niya nga pagkabutang.

Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah

See now, the Lord,
    the Lord Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
    both supply and support:(A)
all supplies of food(B) and all supplies of water,(C)
    the hero and the warrior,(D)
the judge and the prophet,
    the diviner(E) and the elder,(F)
the captain of fifty(G) and the man of rank,(H)
    the counselor, skilled craftsman(I) and clever enchanter.(J)

“I will make mere youths their officials;
    children will rule over them.”(K)

People will oppress each other—
    man against man, neighbor against neighbor.(L)
The young will rise up against the old,
    the nobody against the honored.

A man will seize one of his brothers
    in his father’s house, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
    take charge of this heap of ruins!”
But in that day(M) he will cry out,
    “I have no remedy.(N)
I have no food(O) or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”(P)

Jerusalem staggers,
    Judah is falling;(Q)
their words(R) and deeds(S) are against the Lord,
    defying(T) his glorious presence.
The look on their faces testifies(U) against them;
    they parade their sin like Sodom;(V)
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    They have brought disaster(W) upon themselves.

10 Tell the righteous it will be well(X) with them,
    for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.(Y)
11 Woe to the wicked!(Z)
    Disaster(AA) is upon them!
They will be paid back(AB)
    for what their hands have done.(AC)

12 Youths(AD) oppress my people,
    women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;(AE)
    they turn you from the path.

13 The Lord takes his place in court;(AF)
    he rises to judge(AG) the people.
14 The Lord enters into judgment(AH)
    against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
    the plunder(AI) from the poor(AJ) is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people(AK)
    and grinding(AL) the faces of the poor?”(AM)
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.(AN)

16 The Lord says,
    “The women of Zion(AO) are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,(AP)
    flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
    with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
    the Lord will make their scalps bald.(AQ)

18 In that day(AR) the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,(AS) 19 the earrings and bracelets(AT) and veils,(AU) 20 the headdresses(AV) and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings,(AW) 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks,(AX) the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments(AY) and tiaras(AZ) and shawls.

24 Instead of fragrance(BA) there will be a stench;(BB)
    instead of a sash,(BC) a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;(BD)
    instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;(BE)
    instead of beauty,(BF) branding.(BG)
25 Your men will fall by the sword,(BH)
    your warriors in battle.(BI)
26 The gates(BJ) of Zion will lament and mourn;(BK)
    destitute,(BL) she will sit on the ground.(BM)

For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.

The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

21 The rings, and nose jewels,

22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
