Ezekiel 11
1 Kalpasanna, impangatonak ti Espiritu ket impannak iti akin-daya a ruangan ti balay ni Yahweh, ti nakasango iti daya; ket sadiay, adda duapulo ket lima a lallaki iti asideg ti ruangan. Nakitak a karaman kadakuada ni Jaazanias a putot ni Azur, ken ni Pelatias a putot ni Benaias, a mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 Kinuna ti Dios kaniak, “Anak ti tao, dagitoy dagiti lallaki nga agpanpanunot iti dakes, ken isuda dagiti agikedkeddeng kadagiti nadangkes a panggep iti daytoy a siudad.
The Lord told me, “Son of man, it's these men who are making evil plans and giving bad advice to the people in this city.
3 Ibagbagada, 'Ti tiempo a panangipatakder kadagiti balbalay ket saan pay nga ita; daytoy a siudad ket maiyarig iti kaldero ket datayo dagiti karne.'
They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’
4 Isu nga agipadtoka iti maibusor kadakuada. Agipadtoka, anak ti tao!”
So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”
5 Ket immay ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana, “Ibagam: Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: kas iti ibagbagayo, Balay ti Israel; ta ammok dagiti panpanunotenyo.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and told me to say: This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, that's what you're saying! I know what you're thinking inside!
6 Adu dagiti tattao a pinapatayyo iti daytoy a siudad ken pinunnoyo dagiti kalsada daytoy kadagiti bangkayda.
You murder more and more people in this city. You've filled its streets with the dead!
7 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Dagiti tattao a pinapatayyo, nga akin-bangkay kadagiti inwalangyo iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, ket isuda dagiti maiyarig a karne, ket daytoy a siudad ti maiyarig a kaldero. Ngem mairuarkayonto manipud iti tengnga daytoy a siudad.
So this is what the Lord God says: Those you've killed in this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I'm going to take you out of it.
8 Kinabutengyo ti kampilan, isu nga iyegkonto ti kampilan kadakayo—Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
You're afraid of being killed by the sword, so I will bring invaders with swords to attack you, declares the Lord God.
9 Iruarkayonto manipud iti tengnga ti siudad ket iyawatkayonto kadagiti ima dagiti ganggannaet, ta mangiyegakto iti pannakaukom maibusor kadakayo.
I'm going to take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners, and I'm going to carry out my sentence against you.
10 Mapasagkayonto babaen iti kampilan. Ukomenkayonto kadagiti beddeng ti Israel iti kasta ket maammoanyo a siak ni Yahweh!
You will be killed by the sword, and I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
11 Daytoy a siudad ket saanto nga isu ti maiyarig a kaldero a paglutoanyo, wenno saan a dakayo dagiti maiyarig a karne a linaonna. Ukomenkayonto kadagiti nagbeddengan ti Israel.
The city won't be like a pot for you, and you won't be the meat inside it either. I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel.
12 Ket maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh, ti akin-alagaden a sinalungasingyo ken ti akin-linteg iti saanyo nga impatungpal. Ngem ketdi, impatungpalyo dagiti linteg dagiti nasion nga adda iti aglawlawyo.”
Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow my rules and you didn't keep my laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”
13 Ket napasamak a bayat nga agipadpadtoak, natay ni Pelatias a putot ni Benaias. Isu a nagpaklebak ket impukkawko, “O Yahweh nga Apo! Dadaelem kadi a naan-anay dagiti nabatbati iti Israel?”
While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell facedown on the ground and shouted loudly, “Lord God, are you going to completely destroy what's left of the people of Israel?”
14 Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
A message from Lord came to me, saying,
15 “Anak ti tao, dagiti kakabsatmo! Dagiti kakabsatmo! Dagiti lallaki iti pulim ken dagiti amin a balay ti Israel! Isuda amin ti sarsaritaen dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, kunada, 'Adayoda kenni Yahweh! Naiteden kadatayo daytoy a daga a kas sanikuatayo!'
“Son of man, your brothers, including your relatives, your fellow exiles, and all the other Israelites, are those the people of Jerusalem were referring to when they said, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This country was given to us and we are to own it.’
16 Isu nga ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Uray inyadayok ida manipud kadagiti nasion, ken uray inwarawarak ida kadagiti daga, ngem siak latta ti agpaay a santuarioda kadagiti daga a nakaipananda iti apagbiit.'
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Even though I sent them far away to live among the foreign nations, scattering them among the different countries, I have been taking care of them for a while in the countries where they went.
17 Isu nga ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Ummongenkayonto manipud kadagiti tattao, ket paguummongenkayonto manipud kadagiti daga a nakaiwaraanyo, ket itedkonto kadakayo ti daga ti Israel!'
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to gather you from the other nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered, and I will return the country of Israel to you.
18 Kalpasanna, mapanda sadiay ket ikkatenda amin a narugit a banag ken amin a kinarimon iti dayta a lugar.
When they come back, they are going to get rid of all its offensive idols and disgusting practices from the country.
19 Ket ikkakto ida iti maymaysa a puso, ken ikabilkonto kadakuada ti baro nga espiritu inton umasidegda kaniak; ikkatekto ti bimmato a pusoda ket ikkakto ida iti natulnog a puso,
I will give them single-minded commitment and a whole new spirit. I will take away their hard-hearted attitude and replace it with one that is loving.
20 tapno tungpalendanto dagiti alagadek, aramiden ken tungpalenda dagiti lintegko. Ket isudanto dagiti tattaok, ket siakto ti Diosda.
This way they can follow my rules, keep my regulations, and do what I say. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 Ngem kadagiti pagaayatda ti agbibiag kadagiti nakarugrugit ken kadagiti makarimon nga aramidda, ipalak-amkonto met laeng kadakuada dagiti aramidda. Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.”
But for those who still choose to worship offensive idols and engage in disgusting practices, I will let them experience the consequences of their own actions, declares the Lord God.”
22 Kalpasanna, timmayab dagiti kerubim ken dagiti pilid nga adda iti abayda, ket ti dayag ti Dios ti Israel, adda iti ngatoenda.
Then the cherubim opened their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them, and with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
23 Ket ti dayag ni Yahweh, pimmanaw iti tengnga ti siudad ket immakar iti bantay nga adda iti daya ti siudad.
The glory of the Lord rose from inside the city and went over to the mountain to the east of the city.
24 Ket iti sirmata nga impakita ti Espiritu ti Dios, impangatonak ti Espiritu ket impannak idiay Caldea, iti ayan dagiti naipanaw a kas balud. Ket ti sirmata a nakitak, in-inot a nagpukaw.
In the vision given to me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit picked me up and carried me back to Babylonia to where the exiles were. After the vision left me,
25 Kalpasanna, imbagak kadagiti naipanaw a kas balud dagiti amin a banag nga impakita ni Yahweh kaniak.
I explained to the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.
