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 whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
2 Nagngangaak ngarud, ket impakanna kaniak ti nalukot a pagbasaan.
And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
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.
And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became 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 to the house of Israel, and you shall 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 will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, 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!
and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen 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.
Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8 Dumngegka! pinagbalinka a natangsit ken natured a kas kadakuada.
Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
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.”
I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are 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, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
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 forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
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!”
And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is 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 the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
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!
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening 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.
And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
16 Ket napasamak daytoy kalpasan iti pito nga aldaw a dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana,
Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 “Anak ti tao, insaadka nga agwanawan iti balay ti Israel, isu a dumngegka iti ibagak kenka, ket ipakaammom kadakuada ti ballaagko!
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to 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.
If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to 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 announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own 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.
Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to 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 announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered 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 was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
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 rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
24 Immay kaniak ti Espiritu ket pinatakdernak; ken kinasaritanak, ket kinunana kaniak, “Agawidka ket agkulongka iti uneg ti balaymo,
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
25 ta ita, anak ti tao, reppetendakanto babaen kadagiti tali tapno saanka a makaruar a makipulapol kadakuada.
And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
26 Idekketkonto ta dilam iti ngangawmo, tapno agbalinka nga umel; ken saanmonto ida a matubngar, agsipud ta isuda ket nasukir a balay.
And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are 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 will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
