< Ezekiel 14 >
1 One day some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me.
Nang magkagayo'y lumapit sa akin ang ilan sa mga matanda sa Israel, at nangaupo sa harap ko.
2 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na nagsasabi,
3 “You human, these men want to [IDM] worship idols, and they are allowing idols to induce them to sin [IDM]. So I will certainly [RHQ] answer them if they ask me for advice.
Anak ng tao, tinaglay ng mga lalaking ito ang kanilang mga diosdiosan sa kanilang puso, at inilagay ang katitisuran ng kanilang kasamaan sa harap ng kanilang mukha: dapat bagang sanggunian nila ako?
4 So say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: When any Israeli person wants to worship idols which will induce him to sin, and he goes to a [to get advice], I, Yahweh, will give him the answer that he deserves to receive because he worship idols.
Kaya't salitain mo sa kanila, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel na nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta; akong Panginoon ay sasagot sa kaniya roon ng ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan;
5 [I will do that] in order that the Israeli people, who have abandoned me in order to worship their idols, will sincerely [IDM] worship me again.’
Upang aking makuha ang sangbahayan ni Israel sa kanilang sariling puso sapagka't silang lahat ay nagsilayo sa akin dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan.
6 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: (Repent/Stop sinning)! Stop worshiping your idols, and stop all your [other] detestable behavior!’
Kaya't sabihin mo sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Mangagbalik-loob kayo, at kayo'y magsitalikod sa inyong mga diosdiosan; at ihiwalay ninyo ang inyong mga mukha sa lahat ninyong kasuklamsuklam.
7 When any of [you] Israeli people or any foreigner living among you turns away from me and starts worshiping idols [IDM] that induce him to sin, and then goes to a prophet to find out what I want him to do, I myself will answer him.
Sapagka't bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel, o sa mga taga ibang lupa na nangananahan sa Israel, na humihiwalay ng kaniyang sarili sa akin, at nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta upang magusisa sa akin tungkol sa kaniyang sarili; akong Panginoon ang sasagot sa kaniya:
8 I will show that I detest him, and [what happens to] him to be a warning [to others], and cause him to be someone whom people despise. I will cause him to no longer be allowed to associate with my people. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
At aking ititingin ang aking mukha laban sa taong yaon, at aking gagawin siyang katigilan, na pinakatanda at pinaka kawikaan, at aking ihihiwalay siya sa gitna ng aking bayan; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.
9 And if a prophet is deceived and gives a false prophecy, [even though] I [allowed him to] give that message, I will get rid of him and remove him from among my Israeli people.
At kung ang propeta ay madaya at magsalita ng isang salita, akong Panginoon ang dumaya sa propetang yaon, at aking iuunat ang aking kamay sa kaniya, at papatayin ko siya mula sa gitna ng aking bayang Israel.
10 Both the prophet and the one who asks him for advice will be guilty, [and I will punish both of them].
At kanilang dadanasin ang kanilang kasamaan: ang kasamaan ng propeta ay magiging gaya nga ng kasamaan niya na humahanap sa kaniya;
11 Then you Israeli people will no longer abandon me, and you will no longer become unacceptable to me because of your sins. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, say.”
Upang ang sangbahayan ni Israel ay huwag nang maligaw pa sa akin, o mahawa pa man sa lahat nilang pagsalangsang; kundi upang sila'y maging aking bayan, at ako'y maging kanilang Dios, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
12 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
13 “You human, [the people of some] country sin against me by abandoning me, and I punish [IDM] them by cutting off their food supply and by sending a famine, with the result that people and animals die,
Anak ng tao, pagka ang isang lupain ay nagkasala laban sa akin ng pagsalangsang, at aking iniunat ang aking kamay roon, at aking binali ang tungkod ng tinapay niyaon, at nagsugo ako ng kagutom doon, at aking inihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;
14 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, they would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito, na si Noe, si Daniel at si Job, ay nangandoon, ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling mga kaluluwa, sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
15 Or, if I send wild animals throughout the country, and they attack and [many of] [HYP] the people, with the result that travel in that country becomes very dangerous and no one travels through that country,
Kung aking paraanin ang mga mabangis na hayop sa lupain, at kanilang sirain, at ito'y magiba na anopa't walang taong makadaan dahil sa mga hayop;
16 [as surely] as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they could not save [even their own] sons or [from being killed]. Only those [three] would (be saved/remain alive), and the country would become desolate. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; sila lamang ang maliligtas, nguni't ang lupain ay masisira.
17 Or, if I bring enemy soldiers [MTY] to attack that country, and they kill [MTY] people and animals throughout that country with their swords,
O kung ako'y magpasapit ng tabak sa lupaing yaon, at aking sabihin, Tabak, dumaan ka sa lupain; na anopa't aking ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;
18 as surely as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they would not be able to save even their own sons or [from being killed]. They would save only themselves. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, sila'y hindi mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man, kundi sila lamang ang maliligtas.
19 Or, if I send a plague into that land and cause the people and the animals to [from the plague] because I am very angry with those people,
O kung ako'y magsugo ng salot sa lupaing yaon, at aking ibugso ang aking kapusukan sa kaniya na may kabagsikan, upang ihiwalay ang tao't hayop;
20 [as surely] as I am alive, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in that country, they would not [be able to] save even their sons and daughters. They would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Bagaman si Noe, si Daniel, at si Job, ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling kaluluwa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran.
21 So [now] this is what [I, ], Yahweh the Lord, say: I will cause four things to happen to [the people of] Jerusalem to punish them very severely. [Some] people and animals will be killed by swords, [some will die from] famines, [others will be attacked and killed by] wild animals, and [others will die in] plagues.
Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Gaano pa nga kaya kung aking pasapitin ang aking apat na mahigpit na kahatulan sa Jerusalem, ang tabak, at ang kagutom, at ang mabangis na hayop, at ang salot, upang ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop?
22 But some [of your people] will remain alive, [both adults] and children. They will come to you, [Ezekiel, in Babylon]. And when you see [disgusting] behavior and actions, you will realize that I had good reasons for causing [the people of] Jerusalem to experience those many great disasters [DOU] that I have sent to them.
Gayon ma'y, narito, doo'y maiiwan ang isang nalabi na ilalabas, mga anak na lalake at sangpu ng babae: narito, kanilang lalabasin kayo, at inyong makikita ang kanilang mga lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa; at kayo'y mangaaaliw tungkol sa kasamaan na aking pinasapit sa Jerusalem, tungkol sa lahat na aking pinasapit doon.
23 When you see those things that they do, you will know that there were very good reasons [LIT] for me to do everything that I caused to happen to them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
At kanilang aaliwin kayo pagka nakikita ninyo ang kanilang lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa at inyong makikilala na hindi ko ginawang walang kadahilanan ang lahat na aking ginawa roon, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
