Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
2 “You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
Anak ng tao, manghula ka laban sa mga pastor ng Israel, manghula ka, at iyong sabihin sa kanila, sa mga pastor, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa aba ng mga pastor ng Israel na pinakakain ang kanilang sarili! hindi baga dapat pakanin ng mga pastor ang mga tupa?
3 [It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
Kayo'y nagsisikain ng gatas, at kayo'y nangananamit sa inyo ng lana, inyong pinapatay ang mga pinataba; nguni't hindi ninyo pinakakain ang mga tupa.
4 You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
Hindi ninyo pinalakas ang payat, o inyo mang pinagaling ang may sakit, o inyo mang tinalian ang may bali, o inyo mang ibinalik ang iniligaw, o inyo mang hinanap ang nawala; kundi inyong pinagpunuang may karahasan at may kahigpitan.
5 So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
At sila'y nangalat dahil sa walang pastor, at sila'y naging pagkain sa lahat ng hayop sa parang, at sila'y nangalat.
6 My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
Ang aking mga tupa ay nagsisilaboy sa lahat ng bundok, at sa lahat na mataas na burol: oo, ang aking mga tupa ay nangalat sa buong ibabaw ng lupa; at walang magsiyasat o humanap sa kanila.
7 Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
Kaya't kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:
8 As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, walang pagsala na dahil sa ang aking mga tupa ay naging samsam, at ang aking mga tupa ay naging pagkain sa lahat na hayop sa parang, sapagka't walang pastor, o hinanap man ng aking mga pastor ang aking mga tupa, kundi ang mga pastor ay nagsikain, at hindi pinakain ang aking mga tupa;
9 Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
Kaya't, Oh kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:
10 I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, ako'y laban sa mga pastor; at aking aalisin ang aking mga tupa sa kanilang kamay, at akin silang patitigilin ng pagpapakain ng mga tupa; at hindi na naman pakakanin ng mga pastor ang kanilang sarili; at aking ililigtas ang aking mga tupa sa kanilang bibig, upang huwag maging pagkain sa kanila.
11 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, sisiyasat ng aking mga tupa, at aking hahanapin sila.
12 Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
Kung paanong hinanap ng pastor ang kaniyang kawan sa kaarawan na siya'y nasa gitna ng kaniyang mga tupa na nangangalat, gayon ko hahanapin ang aking mga tupa; at ililigtas ko sila sa lahat ng dako na kanilang pinangalatan sa maulap at madilim na araw.
13 I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
At aking ilalabas sila sa mga bayan, at pipisanin ko sila mula sa mga lupain, at dadalhin ko sila sa kanilang sariling lupain; at pasasabsabin ko sila sa mga bundok ng Israel, sa tabi ng mga daan ng tubig, at sa lahat na tinatahanang dako sa lupain.
14 [It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
Aking pakakanin sila sa mabuting pastulan; at sa mga mataas na bundok ng kataasan ng Israel ay malalagay ang kanilang kulungan: doon mangahihiga sila sa mabuting kulungan; at sa matabang pastulan ay manginginain sila sa mga bundok ng Israel.
15 I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
Ako ay magiging kanilang pastor ng aking mga tupa at aking pahihigain sila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
16 I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
Aking hahanapin ang nawala, at ibabalik ang iniligaw, at tatalian ang nabalian, at palalakasin ang may sakit: nguni't aking lilipulin ang mataba at malakas; aking pakakanin sila sa katuwiran.
17 And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
At tungkol sa inyo, Oh aking kawan, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako'y humahatol sa gitna ng hayop at hayop, sa gitna ng mga lalaking tupa at mga kambing na lalake.
18 It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
Inaakala baga ninyong munting bagay sa inyo na kumain sa mabuting pastulan, nguni't inyong marapat yapakan ng inyong mga paa ang nalabi sa inyong pastulan? at uminom sa malinaw na tubig, nguni't inyong marapat lampisawin ng inyong mga paa ang nalabi?
19 [It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
At tungkol sa aking mga tupa, kanilang kinakain ang inyong niyapakan ng inyong mga paa, at kanilang iniinom ang nilampisaw ng inyong mga paa.
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa kanila: Narito, ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, ay hahatol sa matabang tupa at sa payat na tupa.
21 [who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
Sapagka't inyong itinulak ng tagiliran at ng balikat, at inyong sinuwag ng inyong mga sungay ang lahat na may sakit, hanggang sa inyong napangalat sila;
22 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
Kaya't aking ililigtas ang aking kawan, at hindi na sila magiging samsam; at ako'y hahatol sa tupa at tupa.
23 And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
At ako'y maglalagay ng isang pastor sa kanila, at kaniyang papastulin sila sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking lingkod na si David; kaniyang papastulin sila, at siya'y magiging kanilang pastor,
24 I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
At akong Panginoon ay magiging kanilang Dios, at ang aking lingkod na si David ay prinsipe sa kanila; akong Panginoon ang nagsalita.
25 I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
At ako'y makikipagtipan sa kanila ng tipan ng kapayapaan, at aking papawiin ang mga masamang hayop sa lupain; at sila'y magsisitahang tiwasay sa ilang, at mangatutulog sa mga gubat.
26 I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
At aking gagawing mapapalad sila at ang mga dakong nangasa palibot ng aking burol; at aking palalagpakin ang ulan sa kapanahunan; magkakaroon ng ulan ng pagpapala.
27 The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
At ang punong kahoy sa parang ay magbubunga, at ang lupa'y magsisibol ng halaman niya, at sila'y matitiwasay sa kanilang lupain; at kanilang malalaman na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking binali ang tali ng kanilang pamatok, at aking nailigtas sila sa kamay ng mga pinaglilingkuran nila.
28 [Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
At sila'y hindi na magiging pinakahuli sa mga bansa, o lalamunin man sila ng hayop sa lupa; kundi sila'y magsisitahang tiwasay, at walang tatakot sa kanila.
29 I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
At aking pagkakalooban sila ng mga pananim na ikababantog, at sila'y hindi na mangalilipol pa ng kagutom sa lupain, o magtataglay pa man ng kahihiyan sa mga bansa.
30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
At kanilang malalaman na akong Panginoon nilang Dios ay sumasa kanila, at sila na sangbahayan ni Israel ay aking bayan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
31 [It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
At kayong mga tupa ko, na mga tupa sa aking pastulan ay mga tao, at ako'y inyong Dios, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
