Ezekiel 20
1 On the tenth day of the fifth month of the seventh year, some of the elders of Israel came to ask advice from the Lord, and they sat down with me.
Napasamak nga iti maikapito a tawen, iti maikasangapulo nga aldaw iti maikalima a bulan, immay dagiti panglakayen ti Israel tapno makiumanda kenni Yahweh ket nagtugawda iti sangoanak.
2 Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
3 “Son of man, tell these elders of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Have you come to ask my advice? As I live, I'm not going to answer you, declares the Lord God.
“Anak ti tao, ipakaammom kadagiti panglakayen ti Israel a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Immaykayo kadi tapno agsaludsod kaniak? Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios, saandak a mapagsaludsodan! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.'
4 Are you going to condemn them—will you do that, son of man? Remind them about the disgusting things their forefathers did,
Ukomem kadi ida? Mangukomka kadi anak ti tao? Ipakaammom kadakuada dagiti kinadakes dagiti ammada!
5 and then tell them that this is what the Lord God says: At the time I chose Israel, I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to Jacob's descendants and revealed myself to them when they were in Egypt. I held up my hand and told them, ‘I am the Lord your God.’
Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Iti aldaw a pinilik ti Israel ket intayagko ti imak tapno agsapataak kadagiti kaputotan ti balay ni Jacob, ken impakaammok ti bagik kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto. Idi intayagko ti imak tapno agsapataak kadakuada, kinunak, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo”—
6 I promised them on that day to lead them out of Egypt and take them to a country that I had chosen for them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country.
iti dayta nga aldaw ket intayagko ti imak tapno isapatak kadakuada nga iruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto ket ipanko ida iti daga a pinilik a nasayaat para kadakuada. Daga daytoy nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro; isu ti kapipintasan a daga kadagiti amin a daga!
7 I told them: ‘All of you have to get rid of your disgusting pagan images. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’
Kinunak kadakuada, “Tunggal maysa ket ibellengna dagiti makarimon a banbanag a daydayawenna ken dagiti didiosen ti Egipto. Saanyo a rugitan dagiti bagbagiyo; Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.”
8 But they rebelled against me and wouldn't do what I told them. None of them got rid of their disgusting pagan images, and they didn't give up worshiping the idols of Egypt. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in Egypt.
Ngem nagrebeldeda kaniak ket saanda kayat ti dumngeg kaniak. Saan nga imbelleng ti tunggal maysa dagiti makarimon a banbanag a daydayawenna wenno binaybay-an dagiti didiosen ti Egipto, isu nga inkeddengko nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada tapno mapnek ti ungetko kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto.
9 But I did act so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations living near them who had seen me reveal myself to Israel by leading them out of Egypt.
Nagtignayak gapu iti naganko tapno saan a matulawan daytoy iti imatang dagiti nasion a pagnanaedanda. Impakaammok ti bagik kadakuada, iti imatangda, babaen iti panangiruarko kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto.
10 So I led them out of Egypt and took them into the wilderness.
Isu nga inruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto ket impanko ida iti let-ang.
11 There I gave them my laws and explained to them my regulations so that those who kept them would live.
Kalpasanna, intedko kadakuada dagiti alagadek ken impakaammok kadakuada dagiti lintegko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy.
12 I also gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, so that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord who makes them holy.
Intedko met kadakuada ti Aldaw a Panaginana a kas pagilasinan iti nagbaetanmi, tapno maammoanda a Siak ni Yahweh a nangidaton kadakuada kaniak.
13 But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert, refusing to observe my laws and rejecting my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them and wipe them out there in the desert.
Ngem nagrebelde kaniak ti balay ti Israel idi addada iti let-ang. Saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek; ngem ketdi, linaksidda dagiti lintegko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy. Tinulawanda iti kasta unay ti Aldaw a Panaginana, isu a kinunak nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada iti let-ang tapno mapapatayda.
14 But I still acted for them so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.
Ngem nagtignayak gapu iti naganko tapno saan a matulawan daytoy iti imatang dagiti nasion a nakaimatang iti panangiruarko kadakuada iti Egipto.
15 So I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I wouldn't take them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country—
Isu nga intag-ayko manen ti imak tapno isapatak kadakuada idiay let-ang a saanko ida nga ipan iti daga nga itedko kadakuada, daga nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro, nga isu ti kapipintasan a daga kadagiti amin a daga.
16 because they repeatedly rejected my regulations, refused to observe my laws, and violated my Sabbaths, and because they chose to continue worshiping idols.
Insapatak daytoy gapu ta linaksidda dagiti lintegko ken saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek, ken tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana, agsipud ta sinurot dagiti pusoda dagiti didiosenda.
17 Even so I was sorry for them and I didn't destroy them; I didn't wipe them out in the desert.
Ngem naasi dagiti matak kadakuada gapu iti pannakadadaelda, isu a saanko ida a pinukaw idiay let-ang.
18 I told their children in the desert: ‘Don't do what your fathers told you to do. Don't follow their practices. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping their idols.
Kinunak kadagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai idiay let-ang, “Saankayo nga agtulnog kadagiti alagaden dagiti nagannakyo; saanyo a tungpalen dagiti lintegda wenno tulawan dagiti bagbagiyo babaen kadagiti didiosen.
19 I am the Lord your God. Do what I tell you to do. Follow my regulations and make sure to practice them.
Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo! Agtulnogkayo kadagiti alagadek; tungpalenyo dagiti bilinko ken agtulnogkayo kadagitoy!
20 Keep my Sabbaths holy so they may be a sign between me and you, so that you may acknowledge that I am the Lord your God.’
Ngilinenyo ti Aldaw a Panaginana tapno agbalinto daytoy a pagilasinan iti nagbaetantayo, tapno maammoanyo a Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.”
21 But their children also rebelled against me. They didn't follow my laws and didn't keep my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in the desert.
Ngem nagrebelde kaniak dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai. Saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek wenno tinungpal dagiti bilinko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy. Tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana, isu nga inkeddengko nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada idiay let-ang.
22 But I held back and did what I did so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.
Ngem inggawidko ti imak ket nagtignayak gapu iti naganko, tapno saan a matulawan iti imatang dagiti nasion a nakaimatang iti panangiruarko kadagiti Israelita idiay Egipto.
23 However, I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I was going to scatter them among the various countries of different nations.
Intag-ayko manen ti imak idiay let-ang, tapno isapatak kadakuada nga iwarasko ida kadagiti nasion ken iwarawarak ida kadagiti daga.
24 For they didn't keep my regulations, instead they rejected my laws and violated my Sabbaths, always looking to worship their fathers' idols.
Inkeddengko nga aramidek daytoy agsipud ta saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti lintegko, ken agsipud ta linaksidda dagiti alagadek ken tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana. Tartarigagayan dagiti matada dagiti didiosen dagiti nagannakda.
25 I also let them follow the regulations they wanted that weren't good; laws that wouldn't help them live.
Kalpasanna, inikkak pay ida kadagiti saan a nasayaat nga alagaden, ken kadagiti linteg a saan a makaited iti biag.
26 I let them make themselves unclean by their offerings to idols, including their firstborn sons. I allowed this to happen so that they would be so appalled that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Pinagbalinko ida a narugit babaen kadagiti sagutda, idi pinuoranda ti tunggal inauna nga anak dagiti babbai. Inaramidko daytoy tapno pagbutngek ida tapno maammoanda a Siak ni Yahweh!'
27 So, son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: You're acting in exactly the same way your forefathers insulted me by being unfaithful to me.
Ngarud, anak ti tao, ipakaammom daytoy iti balay ti Israel; ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ni Yahweh nga Apo: Tinabbaawandak dagiti nagannakyo babaen iti panangpanawda kaniak. Inaramidda daytoy iti kastoy a wagas:
28 After I led them into the land that I had promised to give them, on any high hill or under any leafy tree they saw there they offered their pagan sacrifices and presented offerings to idols that made me angry, burning their sweet-smelling incense and pouring out their drink offerings.
idi impanko ida iti daga nga insapatak nga itedko kadakuada, idi nakitada dagiti amin a nangangato a turod ken dagiti narukbos a kayo, ket sadiay ti nangidatonanda kadagiti sakripisioda ket pinagpungtotdak babaen iti panangidatonda sadiay. Sadiay met ti nangpuoranda kadagiti nabanglo nga insenso ken nangibukbokanda kadagiti datonda a mainum.
29 So I asked them: ‘What's this high place you're going to?’ (Even today it's still called Bamah.)
Ket sinaludsodko kadakuada, “Ania aya daytoy a nangato a lugar a pangium-umayanyo kadagiti datonyo?” Isu a napanaganan iti Bamah ti bantay agingga ita nga aldaw.'
30 Therefore tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Are you going to make yourselves unclean like your forefathers, turning yourselves into prostitutes, acting the way they did with the same disgusting practices?
Ibagam ngarud iti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo: Apay aya a rugitanyo dagiti bagbagiyo babaen iti panangtuladyo kadagiti aramid dagiti nagannakyo? Ken apay aya nga agtigtignaykayo a kasla balangkantis, nga agbirbirok kadagiti makarimon a banbanag?
31 When you present your offerings to idols and sacrifice your children in the fire, you continue to make yourselves unclean with all your idols right up until now. So should I give you advice when you ask me, people of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord God, I'm not going to answer you!
Ta idi indatonyo dagiti sagutyo ken pinuoranyo dagiti annakyo a lallaki, rinugitanyo dagiti bagbagiyo gapu kadagiti amin a didiosenyo agingga iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw. Isu a rumbeng kadi a mapagsaludsodandak, O balay ti Israel? Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—saandak a mapagsaludsodan!
32 When you say to yourselves, ‘Let's be like the other nations, like people in other countries who worship idols made of wood and stone,’ what you're thinking is never going to happen.
Pumudnonto dagiti panpanunotenyo. Kunayo, “Agbalintayo a kasla kadagiti dadduma a nasion, a kasla kadagiti puli kadagiti dadduma a daga nga agdaydayaw iti kayo ken bato!”
33 As I live, declares the Lord God, I will rule you with all my strength and power, and in my anger.
Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—awan duadua nga iturayankayonto babaen iti nabileg nga imak ken nakaunnat a takkiagko, ken iti pungtotko a maibuyatto kadakayo!
34 With all my strength and power, and in my anger, I will lead you out from among the nations and gather you from the countries where you were scattered.
Iruarkayonto manipud kadagiti dadduma a tattao ken ummongenkayonto manipud kadagiti pagilian a nakaiwarawaraanyo. Aramidekto daytoy babaen iti nabileg nga imak ken iti pungtotko a maibuyat.
35 I will bring you before me for judgment face to face in the desert of the nations.
Kalpasanna, ipankayonto iti let-ang dagiti tattao, ket sadiayto ti pangukomak kadakayo iti rupanrupa.
36 In the same way I judged your forefathers in the Egyptian desert after I'd led them out of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Lord God.
Kas iti panangukomko kadagiti ammayo idiay let-ang iti daga ti Egipto, kastanto met ti panangukomko kadakayo! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
37 I will decide about you as you pass under the rod and see if you kept our solemn agreement.
Paglasatenkayonto iti baba ti sarukodko, ken isinggalutkayonto iti tulag;
38 I will get rid of those of you who rebel against me, those who sin against me. I will lead them out of the country where they're currently living, but they won't enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Ikkatekto kadakayo dagiti nasukir ken dagiti mangsalsalungasing kaniak. Iruarkonto ida iti daga a pagnanaedanda a kas ganggannaet, ngem saandanto a sumrek iti daga ti Israel. Iti kasta, maammoanyonto a Siak ni Yahweh!
39 This is what the Lord God says to you, you people of Israel: All of you, go ahead and worship your idols. But after that if you don't listen to me you won't continue to disgrace me with your pagan offerings and idols.
Isu a kenka, balay ti Israel, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Tunggal maysa kadakayo ket mapan kadagiti bukodna a didiosen. Agdayawkayo kadagitoy no saanyo kayat a dumngeg kaniak, ngem nasken a saanyon a tulawan ti nasantoan a naganko babaen kadagiti sagutyo ken kadagiti didiosenyo.
40 For there on my holy mountain, Israel's high mountain, declares the Lord God, every single person in the whole country of Israel will worship me. That's where I'll accept them and will ask for your offerings and your best gifts, together with all your holy sacrifices.
Ta iti nasantoan a bantayko, iti tapaw ti bantay ti Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—dayawendakto sadiay ti amin a balay ti Israel nga adda iti daga. Maragsakanakto a mangkiddaw kadagiti datonyo sadiay, ken kasta met kadagiti umuna a bunga ti sagutyo agraman dagiti amin a nasantoan a kukuayo.
41 When I bring you back from the nations and gather you from countries where you were scattered, I will accept you as a suitable offering to me. I will reveal my holiness through you so the nations can see.
Awatenkayonto a kas iti nabanglo nga insenso inton iruarkayo manipud kadagiti tattao ken ummongenkayo manipud kadagiti pagilian a nakaiwarawaraanyo. Ipakitakto a nasantoanak kadakayo tapno makita dagiti nasion.
42 Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I bring you back to the country of Israel, the land that I promised to give your forefathers.
Kalpasanna, inton ipankayo iti daga ti Israel, iti daga nga insapatak nga ited kadagiti nagannakyo, maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh.
43 That's where you will remember your bad ways and everything you've done to make yourselves unclean, and you will hate yourselves for the evil things you did.
Ket malagipyonto dagiti dakes a wagasyo ken ti amin nga aramidyo a namagbalin kadakayo a narugit, ket kagurayonto dagiti bagbagiyo iti bukodyo met laeng a panagkita gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inaramidyo.
44 Then you people of Israel will acknowledge that I am the Lord, because I have treated you well because of who I am, and not because of your evil ways and terrible things you've done, declares the Lord God.”
Maammoanyonto ngarud a siak ni Yahweh inton aramidek daytoy kadakayo gapu iti naganko, saan a gapu kadagiti dakes a wagasyo wenno kadagiti narugit nga aramidyo, O balay ti Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.'”
45 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
46 “Son of man, face towards the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
“Anak ti tao, sumangoka kadagiti akin-abagatan a daga, ket agsaoka maibusor iti abagatan; agipadtoka maibusor iti kabakiran ti Negeb.
47 Tell the forest of the Negev: Listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am going to set you on fire, and it will burn up all your trees, both those that are living and those that are dead. The blaze won't be put out, and everything from the north to the south will be burned.
Ibagam iti kabakiran ti Negeb, 'Denggem ti pakaammo ni Yahweh! Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Kitaem, mangpasgedakto iti apuy kenka. Uramento daytoy ti amin a nalangto a kayo ken ti amin a nagango a kayo nga adda kadakayo. Saanto a maiddep ti sumsumged nga apuy; mapuoranto ti tunggal rupa manipud iti abagatan agingga iti amianan.
48 Then everyone will recognize that it was me, the Lord, who started the fire, and it won't be put out.”
Ket makitanto ti amin a lasag a siak ni Yahweh inton pasgedak ti apuy, ken saanto a maiddep daytoy.'”
49 But then I said, “Oh no, Lord God! People already say, ‘He's just telling stories!’”
Ket kinunak, “O Apo a Yahweh, kunkunada kaniak, 'Saan aya a mannanao laeng isuna kadagiti pangngarig?'”
