Ezekiel 3
1 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, kanem ti nakitam! Kanem daytoy nalukot a pagbasaan, ket mapanka agsao iti balay ti Israel.”
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2 Nagngangaak ngarud, ket impakanna kaniak ti nalukot a pagbasaan.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
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 unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it; ] and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, mapanka iti balay ti Israel ket ibagam kadakuada dagiti sasaok.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto 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 thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard 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!
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
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 hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hardhearted.
8 Dumngegka! pinagbalinka a natangsit ken natured a kas kadakuada.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against 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.”
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.
10 Kalpasanna, kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, amin dagiti sasao nga imbagak kenka—ipapusom ken ipangagmo dagitoy!
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine 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, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 a voice of a great rushing, [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!
[I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
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!
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong 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 came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16 Ket napasamak daytoy kalpasan iti pito nga aldaw a dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana,
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 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 unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine 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.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy 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.
Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine 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.”
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy 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 there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
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.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: 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 entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
25 ta ita, anak ti tao, reppetendakanto babaen kadagiti tali tapno saanka a makaruar a makipulapol kadakuada.
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
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 make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious 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 with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.
