Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
“Anak ti tao, mangtedka iti maysa burburtia ket ibagam daytoy a pangngarig iti balay ti Israel.
3 And say: Thus saith the Lord God: A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar.
Ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Adda maysa a dakkel nga agila a dadakkel dagiti payakna ken atitiddog dagiti pawisna, napuskol dagiti dutdotna, ken agduduma ti marisna ti napan idiay Lebanon ket nagdisso iti murdong ti kayo a sedro.
4 He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.
Nangtukkol daytoy kadagiti murdong dagiti sanga ket impanna dagitoy idiay daga ti Canaan; inmulana dagitoy iti siudad dagiti agtagtagilako.
5 And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth.
Nangala met daytoy iti sumagmamano a bukel iti daga ket inmulana iti daga a nakasaganan a mamulaan. Inmulana daytoy iti abay ti nalawa a pagayusan ti danum a kas iti pakaimulaan ti kimmawayan a kayo.
6 And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Kalpasanna, nagtubo daytoy ket nagbalin nga ubas a nagdalapdap iti daga. Nagturong iti ayan ti agila dagiti sangana, ket immuneg dagiti ramutna iti daga. Isu a nagbalin daytoy nga ubas, ket nangpataud iti adu sangsanga ken adu a saringit.
7 And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
Ngem adda sabali pay a dakkel nga agila nga addaan kadagiti dadakkel a payak ken napupuskol a dutdot. Ket pagammoan! Inturong daytoy nga ubas dagiti ramutna iti ayan ti agila, ket manipud iti nakaimulaan ti ubas, inyunnatna dagiti sangana iti ayan ti agila tapno masibugan daytoy.
8 It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine.
Naimula daytoy iti nadam-eg a daga iti abay ti nalawa a pagayusan ti danum tapno makapagsanga ken makapagbunga daytoy, tapno agbalin a napintas unay nga ubas!
9 Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people, to pluck it up by the root?
Ibagam kadagiti tattao, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Agbiag kadi daytoy? Saannanto kadi a paruten daytoy ken saanna kadi a rurosen dagiti bungana iti kasta magango dagiti nalangto a bulongna? Saan a kasapulan ti napigsa a takkiag wenno adu a tattao tapno maparut daytoy.
10 Behold, it is planted: shall it prosper then? shall it not be dried up when the burning wind shall touch it, and shall it not wither in the furrows where it grew?
Isu a kitaem! Dumakkelto kadi daytoy kalpasan a naimula? Saanto kadi a magango daytoy inton pul-oyan ti angin nga agtaud iti daya? Naan-anay a magangonto daytoy iti nakaimulaanna.'”
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
12 Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof, and carry them with him to Babylon.
“Kasaritam dagiti nasukir a tattao, 'Saanyo kadi nga ammo ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag? Denggenyo! Immay iti Jerusalem ti ari ti Babilonia ket innalana ti ari ken dagiti prinsipena ket inkuyogna ida nga impan iti Babilonia.
13 And he shall take one of the king’s seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land,
Kalpasanna, nangala iti maysa kadagiti kaputotan ti ari, nakitulag isuna kenkuana ket pinagsapatana isuna. Ket impanawna dagiti nabibileg a tattao iti daga,
14 That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant, and observe it.
tapno pumanglaw ti pagarian ket saan daytoy a tumangsit. Babaen iti panangtungpalna iti tulagna, makalasatto ti daga.
15 But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant?
Ngem bimmusor kenkuana ti ari ti Jerusalem babaen iti panangibaonna kadagiti opisialna idiay Egipto, tapno mapanda agkiddaw kadagiti kabalio ken armada. Agballigi kadi isuna? Makalibas kadi ti mangar-aramid kadagitoy a banbanag? No saanna a tungpalen ti tulag, makalibas kadi isuna?
16 As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die.
Iti naganko! — kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh Apo— awan duadua a matayto isuna iti daga ti ari a nangisaad kenkuana a kas ari, ti ari nga akin-sapata iti inumsina, ken ti akin-tulag iti saanna a tinungpal. Matayto isuna iti tengnga ti Babilonia!
17 And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls.
Ket ti Faraon ken dagiti agkakapigsa nga armadana ken ti naummo-ummong nga adu a lallaki a mannakigubat, saandanto a salakniban isuna iti gubatan, inton agigabsuon ken agipatakder dagiti taga-Babilonia kadagiti banag ket makaulida iti pader a mangdadael iti adu a biag.
18 For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape.
Ta inumsi ti ari ti sapatana babaen iti saanna a panangtungpal iti tulag. Pudno nga intayagna ti imana tapno agkari, ngem naaramidna amin dagitoy a banag. Saanto isuna a makalibas.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken.
Ngarud— kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo — iti naganko, saan kadi a ti sapatak ti inumsina, ken ti tulagko ti saanna a tinungpal? Isu nga iyegkonto kenkuana ti pannusa!
20 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me.
Isarwagkonto kenkuana ti iketko ket matiliwto isuna babaen iti iketko. Ket ipankonto isuna idiay Babilonia ket ukomekto isuna sadiay gapu iti kinatraidor nga inaramidna idi liniputannak!
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword: and the residue shall be scattered into every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
Ket amin dagiti nakalasat iti armadana, mapasagto babaen iti kampilan, ket dagiti mabati, maiwarawaradanto iti amin a paset. Kalpasanna, maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh; Impakaammok daytoy a mapasamakto!'
22 Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, 'Isu a siakto a mismo ti mangputed iti murdong ti kayo a sedro, ket imulakto daytoy iti adayo manipud iti naganus a saringitna. Tukkolekto daytoy, ket siakto a mismo ti mangimula iti daytoy iti nangato a bantay!
23 On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches, and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof.
Imulakto daytoy kadagiti bantay ti Israel tapno agsanga ken agbunga, ket agbalinto a narukbos a sedro, iti kasta, amin a billit ket agnaeddanto iti daytoy. Agumokdanto kadagiti sangana.
24 And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it.
Kalpasanna, amin dagiti kaykayo iti tay-ak, maammoanda a siak ni Yahweh; Pukanekto dagiti natatayag a kaykayo; Padakkelekto dagiti nababa a kaykayo! Pagangoekto dagiti masibsibugan a kayo; Palangtoekto dagiti nagango a kayo! Siak ni Yahweh; Ipakaammok a mapasamakto daytoy, ket inaramidkon daytoy!'”
