Ezekiel 17
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
2 “Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use an allegory to the house of Israel,
“Anak ti tao, mangtedka iti maysa burburtia ket ibagam daytoy a pangngarig iti balay ti Israel.
3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that has diverse colors, Has come to Lebanon, And he takes the foliage 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 has cropped the top of its tender twigs, And he brings it to the land of Canaan. He has placed 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 takes of the seed of the land, And puts it in a field of seed, He took [it] by many waters, He has set it in a conspicuous place.
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 springs up, and becomes a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becomes a vine, and makes boughs, And sends forth beautiful branches.
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 is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And behold, this vine has bent its roots toward him, And it has sent out its thin shoots toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,
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 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, to make branches, and to bear fruit, to be for a good 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, Thus said Lord YHWH: It prospers—does he not draw out its roots, And cut off its fruit, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withers, And not by great strength, or by numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
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 And behold, the planted thing—does it prosper? When the east wind comes against it, does it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withers.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
12 “Now say to the house of rebellion, Have you not known what these [are]? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, And he takes its king, and its princes, And brings them to himself 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 takes of the seed of the kingdom, And makes a covenant with him, And brings him into an oath, And he has taken the mighty 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 the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant—that it may stand.
tapno pumanglaw ti pagarian ket saan daytoy a tumangsit. Babaen iti panangtungpalna iti tulagna, makalasatto ti daga.
15 And he rebels against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and many people, Does he prosper? Does he who is doing these things escape? And has he broken covenant and escaped?
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—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Does he not—in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he has despised, And whose covenant he has broken—die with him in the midst of Babylon?
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 force, and with a numerous assembly, Does Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mound, and in building a fortification, 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 And he despised the oath—to break covenant, And behold, he has given his hand, And all these he has done—he does 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 said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—My oath that he has despised, And My covenant that he has broken, Have I not put it on his head?
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 have spread out My snare for him, And he has been caught in My net, And I have brought him to Babylon, And judged him there [for the] trespass That he has trespassed against 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, Fall by sword, and those remaining, They are spread out to every wind, And you have known that I, YHWH, 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 said Lord YHWH: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], I crop a tender one from the top of its tender shoots, And I have planted [it] on a high and lofty mountain.
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 In a mountain—the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it has borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a good cedar, And every bird of every [kind of] wing has dwelt under it, They dwell in the shade of its thin shoots.
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 trees of the field have known That I, YHWH, have made the high tree low, I have set the low tree on high, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, YHWH, 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!'”
