Ezekiel 21
1 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 ”Anak ti tao, sumangoka iti Jerusalem, ken agsaoka a maibusor kadagiti lugar a pagdaydayawanda; agipadtoka iti maibusor iti daga ti Israel.
“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
3 Ibagam iti daga ti Israel, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adtoy! Bumusorak kenka! Asutekto ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy ket isinak manipud kenka ti nalinteg ken nadangkes a tao!
Tell the land of Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Iti kasta, maisinak manipud kenka ti nalinteg ken ti nadangkes a tao, rummuarto ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy a maibusor iti amin a lasag manipud iti abagatan agingga iti amianan.
Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
5 Ket maammoanto ti amin a lasag a Siak a ni Yahweh, ket inasutko ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy. Ket saanton a maikaluban daytoy!’
All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
6 Ket sika, anak ti tao, agasugka a kasla bumtak ti barukongmo! Agasugka iti nasaem iti imatangda!
“Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
7 Kalpasanna, mapasamakto nga agsaludsodda kenka, ‘Ania aya ti makagapu nga agas-asugka? Ket kunaemto, ‘Gapu kadagiti damag nga um-umay, ta tunggal puso ket mapukawanto iti namnama, ken tunggal ima ket agleppayto! Tunggal espiritu ket agkapuyto, ken tunggal tumeng ket agkutukotto a kasla danum nga agayos. Adtoy! Um-umayen ken awan duadua a matungpalto daytoy! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.”’
It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
8 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 “Anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo: Ibagam: Maysa a kampilan! Maysa a kampilan! Mapatademto ken mapasilengto daytoy!
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
10 Mapatademto daytoy tapno makapapatay iti adu! Mapasilengto daytoy iti kasta aggilap a kasla kimat! Rumbeng aya nga agrag-otayo iti setro ti anakko? Ti um-umay a kampilan ket kagurgurana unay ti tunggal kasta a baston!
It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
11 Isu a maipaimanto ti kampilan tapno mapasileng, ket kalpasanna, tapno petpetan ti ima! Napatadem ti kampilan! Ket napasileng daytoy tapno maited iti ima ti maysa a mammapatay!’
It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
12 Agkiddawka iti tulong ken agdung-awka, anak ti tao! Ta immay dayta a kampilan kadagiti tattaok! Karaman dagiti amin a mangidadaulo ti Israel a papatayen daytoy a kampilan! Isuda dagiti tattaok, isu a danugem ti barukongmo gapu iti ladingit!
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
13 Ta addanto ti pannubok, ngem kasano no saan nga agnanayon dayta a setro? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
14 Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken agtipatka, ta rumautto ti kampilan uray iti mamintallo a daras! Maysa a kampilan para kadagiti mapapatay! Maysa a kampilan para kadagiti adu a mapapatay, a mangrangrangkay kadakuada iti sadinoman a disso!
“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
15 Tapno agkebba ti pusoda ken tapno umadu dagiti pakaitibkulanda, inkabilko ti mammapatay a kampilan kadagiti ruanganda! Asida pay! Naaramid daytoy a kasla kimat, naisagana a pangpapatay!
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
16 Sika a kampilan! Tumagbatka iti kannawan! Tumagbatka iti kannigid! Mapanka iti sadinoman a kayat a papanan dagiti tademmo.
Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17 Ta agtipatakto, ket kalpasanna, pabaawekto ti nakaro a pungtotko! Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18 Immay manen kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
19 “Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, mangaramidka iti dua a kalsada para iti umay a kampilan ti ari ti Babilonia. Ti dua a kalsada ket mangrugi iti maymaysa a daga, ken ti maysa a poste ket maysa a pagilasinan kadagiti kalsada a mangitunda a mapan iti maysa a siudad.
“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20 Mangikabilka iti pagilasinan iti maysa a kalsada para iti armada ti Babilonia a mapan iti Rabba, a siudad dagiti Ammonita. Mangikabilka iti pagilasinan iti maysa pay a kalsada a mangiturong iti armada a mapan iti Juda ken iti siudad ti Jerusalem, a nasarikedkedan.
You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 Ta agsardengto ti ari ti Babilonia iti nagsangaan ti kalsada, tapno agbuyon iti nagsangaan ti kalsada. Gunggonennanto dagiti sumagmamano a pana ket agkiddaw iti tulong manipud kadagiti didiosenna no sadino a dalan ti turongenda. Sukimatennanto ti dalem!
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
22 Iti makannawan nga imana ket ti sirmata a maipanggep iti Jerusalem, tapno isaganana ti troso a pangrebbada iti daytoy! Tapno iyungapna ti bibigna ket ibilinna nga irugidan ti mangpapatay! Tapno ipukkawna ti gubat! Tapno isaganana dagiti troso a pangrebbada kadagiti ruangan! Tapno mangibunton isuna kadagiti daga ken makaaramid kadagiti pagbatayanda nga umuli kadagiti pader!
In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
23 Arigna nga awan serserbina daytoy iti imatang dagiti adda iti Jerusalem, dagidiay a nangikari iti maysa a sapata kadagiti taga-Babilonia! Ngem pabasolento ida ti ari a linabsingda ti katulaganda tapno laeng lakubenda ida!
It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
24 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Gapu ta impalagipyo kaniak dagiti basbasolyo, maibutaktakto dagiti panaglabsingyo! Makitanto dagiti basolyo iti amin a tignayyo! Ta gapu iti daytoy, ipalagipyonto iti amin a masakupkayto babaen iti ima ti kabusoryo!
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
25 Ket sika, a makarimon ken nadangkes a mangiturturay iti Israel, sika a dimteng ti aldaw ti pannakadusana, sika a nagpatingga ti panangar-aramidna kadagiti nakaro a basbasol.
“‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
26 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Ikkatem ti turbante ken ikkatem ti korona! Saanen a kas idi dagiti banbanag! Maipangato dagiti nababa ket maipababa dagiti nangato!
the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
27 Dadaelekto ti amin a banag! Maysa a nadadael! Maysa a nadadael! Mapukawto ti korona, ngem saanto a mapasamak daytoy agingga nga umay ti addaan karbengan iti daytoy. Ket itedkonto daytoy kenkuana.
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
28 Isu a sika nga anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Ammon maipanggep iti umadanin a pannakaibabainda: Maysa a kampilan, naasut ti maysa a kampilan! Napatadem daytoy a pangpapatay tapno mangikisap, isu nga agbalinto daytoy a kasla kimat!
“You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
29 Bayat a dagiti profeta ket awan masirmatada maipanggep kenka, bayat nga ar-aramidenda dagiti seremonia tapno agparnuay iti inuulbod maipanggep kenka, agdissonto daytoy a kampilan kadagiti tengnged dagiti nadangkes nga umadanin a mapapatay, dagiti tattao a dimtengen ti aldaw ti pannakadusada ken umadanin ti panagpatingga ti nakaro a panagbasbasolda.
while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 Isublim ti kampilan iti kaluban daytoy. Iti lugar ti nakaparsuaam, iti daga a naggapuam, okumenkanto!
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
31 Idissuorkonto ti pungtotko kenka! Rubrobak ti pungtotko a maibusor kenka ken iyawatkanto iti ima dagiti naranggas a lallaki, kadagiti lallaki a nalaing iti panagdadael!
I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
32 Agbalinkanto a pangparubrob iti apuy! Agsayasayto ti daram iti katengngaan ti daga. Saandakanton a malagip, ta Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”’
You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
