Ezekiel 20

1 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.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

2 Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,

Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying:

3 “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.'

Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

4 Ukomem kadi ida? Mangukomka kadi anak ti tao? Ipakaammom kadakuada dagiti kinadakes dagiti ammada!

Punish them, punish them, son of man, cause them to know the abominations of their fathers, and say to them,

5 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”—

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the time when I chose Israel, I lifted up my hand to the race of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt; I lifted up my hand to them, and said, I am Jehovah, your God.

6 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!

At that time I lifted up my hand to them, that I would bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had looked out for them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.

7 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.”

And I said to them, Cast ye away from you every one the abomination of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt! I am Jehovah, your God.

8 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.

But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken to me; they did not cast away every one the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said that I would pour out my fury upon them, that I would accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 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.

But I acted for my name's sake, that it might not be polluted in the sight of the nations, in the midst of whom they were; and before their eyes I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

10 Isu nga inruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto ket impanko ida iti let-ang.

And I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and led them into the wilderness.

11 Kalpasanna, intedko kadakuada dagiti alagadek ken impakaammok kadakuada dagiti lintegko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy.

And I gave them my statutes, and made known to them my laws, through which the man that keepeth them shall live.

12 Intedko met kadakuada ti Aldaw a Panaginana a kas pagilasinan iti nagbaetanmi, tapno maammoanda a Siak ni Yahweh a nangidaton kadakuada kaniak.

Also I gave them my sabbaths, that they might be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I, Jehovah, sanctify them.

13 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.

But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the desert; they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my laws, through which the man that keepeth them shall live, and my sabbaths they greatly polluted. Then I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, to consume them.

14 Ngem nagtignayak gapu iti naganko tapno saan a matulawan daytoy iti imatang dagiti nasion a nakaimatang iti panangiruarko kadakuada iti Egipto.

But I acted for my name's sake, that it might not be polluted before the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

15 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.

Yet I lifted up my hand to them in the desert, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, the beauty of all lands;

16 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.

because they despised my laws, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

17 Ngem naasi dagiti matak kadakuada gapu iti pannakadadaelda, isu a saanko ida a pinukaw idiay let-ang.

Nevertheless mine eye spared them, so that I did not destroy them; neither did I make an end of them in the desert.

18 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.

And I said to their sons in the desert, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols!

19 Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo! Agtulnogkayo kadagiti alagadek; tungpalenyo dagiti bilinko ken agtulnogkayo kadagitoy!

I am Jehovah, your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them.

20 Ngilinenyo ti Aldaw a Panaginana tapno agbalinto daytoy a pagilasinan iti nagbaetantayo, tapno maammoanyo a Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.”

And hallow my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah, your God.

21 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.

But the sons rebelled against me; they walked not in my statutes, neither kept they my ordinances to do them, through which the man that doeth them shall live, and they polluted my sabbaths. Then I said that I would pour out my fury upon them, and accomplish mine anger upon them in the desert.

22 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.

Nevertheless I held back my hand, and acted for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

23 Intag-ayko manen ti imak idiay let-ang, tapno isapatak kadakuada nga iwarasko ida kadagiti nasion ken iwarawarak ida kadagiti daga.

I also lifted up my hand against them in the desert, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries,

24 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.

because they did not observe mine ordinances, but despised my statutes, and polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after the idols of their fathers.

25 Kalpasanna, inikkak pay ida kadagiti saan a nasayaat nga alagaden, ken kadagiti linteg a saan a makaited iti biag.

Moreover I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances by which they should not live.

26 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!'

And I polluted them in their offerings, in that they caused every first-born child to pass through the fire, that I might destroy them, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.

27 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:

Therefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Yet in this your fathers dishonored me, and trespassed against me.

28 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.

For when I had brought them into the land concerning which I lifted up my hand, that I would give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick tree's, and there they offered their sacrifices, and there they presented their provoking oblation, and there they brought their sweet savor, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.

29 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.'

Then I said to them, What is the high place to which ye go? And it is called The High Place unto this day.

30 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?

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers, and do ye commit fornication according to their abominations,

31 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!

and by offering your gifts, and causing your sons to pass through the fire, —are ye polluted with all your idols even to this day, and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you!

32 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!”

And that which cometh into your mind shall not come to pass, when ye say, “We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, worshipping wood and stone.”

33 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!

As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out will I rule over you.

34 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.

And I will bring you forth from the nations, and gather you from the countries, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

35 Kalpasanna, ipankayonto iti let-ang dagiti tattao, ket sadiayto ti pangukomak kadakayo iti rupanrupa.

And I will bring you into the desert of the nations, and there will I contend with you face to face.

36 Kas iti panangukomko kadagiti ammayo idiay let-ang iti daga ti Egipto, kastanto met ti panangukomko kadakayo! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.

Even as I contended with your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so also will I contend with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

37 Paglasatenkayonto iti baba ti sarukodko, ken isinggalutkayonto iti tulag;

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

38 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!

And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; out of the country where they sojourn will I bring them forth, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

39 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.

As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve ye every one his idols in future also, if ye will not obey me! But pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts and your idols!

40 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.

For upon my holy mountain, upon the lofty mountain of Israel, there shall all the house of Israel, all that are in the land, serve me; there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your oblations, with all things which ye consecrate to me.

41 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.

I will accept you as a sweet savor, when I bring you forth from the nations, and gather you from the countries, wherein ye have been scattered, and will through you be honored before the eyes of the nations.

42 Kalpasanna, inton ipankayo iti daga ti Israel, iti daga nga insapatak nga ited kadagiti nagannakyo, maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh.

And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country concerning which I lifted up my hand, that I would give it to your fathers.

43 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.

And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been polluted; and ye shall loathe yourselves for all your evil deeds which ye have committed.

44 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.'”

And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I deal with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

45 Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

46 “Anak ti tao, sumangoka kadagiti akin-abagatan a daga, ket agsaoka maibusor iti abagatan; agipadtoka maibusor iti kabakiran ti Negeb.

Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word against the South, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

47 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.

and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah! Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle in thee a fire, which shall devour every green tree and every dry tree within thee; the fierce flame shall not be quenched, and all parts from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

48 Ket makitanto ti amin a lasag a siak ni Yahweh inton pasgedak ti apuy, ken saanto a maiddep daytoy.'”

And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

49 Ket kinunak, “O Apo a Yahweh, kunkunada kaniak, 'Saan aya a mannanao laeng isuna kadagiti pangngarig?'”

And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah, they say of me, “Doth he not speak in parables?”
