Ezekiel 3
1 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, kanem ti nakitam! Kanem daytoy nalukot a pagbasaan, ket mapanka agsao iti balay ti Israel.”
And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
2 Nagngangaak ngarud, ket impakanna kaniak ti nalukot a pagbasaan.
So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
3 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, manganka ken bussogem ta tianmo iti daytoy nalukot a pagbasaan nga intedko kenka!” Kinnanko ngarud daytoy, ket kas kasam-it iti diro ti ramanna iti ngiwatko.
your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
4 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, mapanka iti balay ti Israel ket ibagam kadakuada dagiti sasaok.
And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Ta saanka a naibaon kadagiti tattao a ganggannaet ti pagsasaoda wenno narigat nga awaten ti pagsasaoda, ngem naibaonka iti balay ti Israel—
For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 saan nga iti nabileg a nasion a ganggannaet ti pagsasaoda wenno narigat a pagsasao a saanmo a maawatan! No ibaonka kadakuada, dumngegdanto kenka!
neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
7 Ngem ti balay ti Israel ket saandanto a kayat ti dumngeg kenka, ta saanda a kayat ti dumngeg kaniak. Ta natangken ti uloda ken natangken ti panagpuspusoda.
But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
8 Dumngegka! pinagbalinka a natangsit ken natured a kas kadakuada.
And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
9 Pinagbalinka a kasla diamante a natangtangken ngem iti bato! Saanka nga agbuteng kadakuada wenno madismaya kadagiti rupada, agsipud ta isuda ket nasukir a balay.”
And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
10 Kalpasanna, kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, amin dagiti sasao nga imbagak kenka—ipapusom ken ipangagmo dagitoy!
And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.
11 Ket mapanka kadagiti natiliw a balud, kadagiti tattaom, ket agsaoka kadakuada. Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo,' Dumngegda man wenno saan.”
And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.
12 Kalpasanna, impangatonak ti Espiritu, ket adda timek iti likudak a kasla napigsa a ginggined, a kunana, “Madaydayaw ti dayag ni Yahweh iti nasantoan a lugarna!”
Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.
13 Nangegko ngarud ti banesbes dagiti payak dagiti sibibiag a parsua iti panagsinnagid dagitoy, ken ti karadakad dagiti pilid nga adda iti tunggal sikiganda, ken ti ungor ti napigsa a ginggined!
And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
14 Impangatonak ti Espiritu ket impanawnak; ket napanak nga addaan sakit ti nakem iti pungtot ti espirituk, ta sibibileg ti ima ni Yahweh a mangidurduron kaniak!
And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
15 Nakagtengak ngarud idiay Tel Abib kadagiti natiliw a balud nga agnanaed iti igid ti Karayan Kebar, ket nagtalinaedak sadiay iti pito nga aldaw, a masmasdaawak unay.
Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
16 Ket napasamak daytoy kalpasan iti pito nga aldaw a dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana,
And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
17 “Anak ti tao, insaadka nga agwanawan iti balay ti Israel, isu a dumngegka iti ibagak kenka, ket ipakaammom kadakuada ti ballaagko!
I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.
18 No kunaek iti nadangkes a tao, 'Awan duadua a mataykanto' ket saanmo isuna a binallaagan wenno saanmo a binallaagan ti nadangkes a tao kadagiti dakes nga aramidna, tapno agbiag isuna—matay ti nadangkes a tao gapu iti basolna, ngem singirekto ti darana manipud iti imam.
When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Ngem no ballaagam ti nadangkes, ket saanna a tallikudan ti kinadakesna wenno dagiti dakes nga aramidna, matayto ngarud isuna gapu iti basolna, ngem sika, inispalmo ti biagmo.
But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.
20 Kasta met a no ti nalinteg a tao ket tallikudanna ti kinalintegna ken agaramid kadagiti saan a nainkalintegan, ikkak ngarud isuna iti pakaitublakanna, ket matayto isuna, agsipud ta saanmo isuna a binallaagan. Matayto isuna gapu iti basolna, ket saankonto a lagipen dagiti nalinteg nga inaramidna, ngem singirekto ti darana manipud iti imam.
And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Ngem no ballaagam ti nalinteg a tao nga agsardengen nga agbasbasol tapno saan isunan nga agbasol, awan duadua nga agbiagto isuna agsipud ta naballaagan; ket sika, inispalmo ti biagmo.”
But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.
22 Adda ngarud kaniak ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh sadiay, ket kinunana kaniak, “Tumakderka! Mapanka iti patad, ket kasaritaka sadiay!”
And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
23 Timmakderak ket napanak iti patad, ket sadiay, nagtalinaed ti dayag ni Yahweh, kas iti dayag a nakitak iti igid ti Karayan Kebar; isu a nagpaklebak.
And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.
24 Immay kaniak ti Espiritu ket pinatakdernak; ken kinasaritanak, ket kinunana kaniak, “Agawidka ket agkulongka iti uneg ti balaymo,
Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
25 ta ita, anak ti tao, reppetendakanto babaen kadagiti tali tapno saanka a makaruar a makipulapol kadakuada.
And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
26 Idekketkonto ta dilam iti ngangawmo, tapno agbalinka nga umel; ken saanmonto ida a matubngar, agsipud ta isuda ket nasukir a balay.
Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.
27 Ngem inton kasaritakanto, ungapekto ta ngiwatmo tapno maibagamto kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.' Ti tao a makangngeg ket dumngeg; ti tao a saan a dumngeg ket saan a makangngeg, ta isuda ket nasukir a balay!”
But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
