< 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 says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Nagngangaak ngarud, ket impakanna kaniak ti nalukot a pagbasaan.
And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this 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 says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.
4 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, mapanka iti balay ti Israel ket ibagam kadakuada dagiti sasaok.
And He says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.
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 deep of lip and heavy of tongue—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 peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they 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.
but the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
8 Dumngegka! pinagbalinka a natangsit ken natured a kas kadakuada.
Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.
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 a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
10 Kalpasanna, kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, amin dagiti sasao nga imbagak kenka—ipapusom ken ipangagmo dagitoy!
And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear 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 forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”
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 a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH 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!
Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even 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!
And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on 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 come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
16 Ket napasamak daytoy kalpasan iti pito nga aldaw a dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana,
And it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,
17 “Anak ti tao, insaadka nga agwanawan iti balay ti Israel, isu a dumngegka iti ibagak kenka, ket ipakaammom kadakuada ti ballaagko!
that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned 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.
In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from 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.
And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered 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 in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from 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.”
And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”
22 Adda ngarud kaniak ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh sadiay, ket kinunana kaniak, “Tumakderka! Mapanka iti patad, ket kasaritaka sadiay!”
And there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I 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 rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
24 Immay kaniak ti Espiritu ket pinatakdernak; ken kinasaritanak, ket kinunana kaniak, “Agawidka ket agkulongka iti uneg ti balaymo,
And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut 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, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in 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 cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
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!”
And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
