Ezekiel 33
1 Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Anak ti tao, ipakaammom daytoy kadagiti tattaom; ibagam kadakuada, 'Inton mangiyegak iti kampilan a maibusor iti aniaman a daga, ket mangdutok dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga iti maysa a tao manipud kadakuada nga agbalin a para-wanawanda.
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 Siputanna ti kampilan nga um-umay iti daga ket puyotanna ti tangguyobna tapno ballaaganna dagiti tattao!
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4 No mangngeg dagiti tattao ti uni ti tangguyob ket saanda nga ipangag, ken no umay ti kampilan ket patayenna ida, ti dara ti tunggal maysa ket adda iti bukodda nga ulo.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 Ket no adda makangngeg iti uni ti tangguyob ket saanna nga ipangag, ti darana ket adda kenkuana; ngem no ipangagna, maisalakannanto ti bukodna a biag.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 Nupay kasta, no makita ti para-wanawan ti kampilan nga um-umay, ngem no saanna a pinuyutan ti tangguyob, a ti nagbanaganna ket saan a naballaagan dagiti tattao, ket no umay ti kampilan ket patayenna ti siasinoman, napapatay dayta a tao iti bukodna a basol ngem sapulekto ti darana iti para-wanawan.'
But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 Ita, sika a mismo, anak ti tao! Pinagbalinka a para-wanawan para iti balay ti Israel; mangngegmonto dagiti sasaok manipud iti ngiwatko ket ballaagamto ida para kaniak.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
8 No ibagak iti maysa a nadangkes a tao, 'Nadangkes a tao, sigurado a matayka!' ngem no saanmo nga iwaragawag daytoy tapno maballaagan ti nadangkes maipapan iti aramidna, ket matayto dayta a nadangkes iti basolna, ngem sapulekto kadagiti imam ti darana!
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
9 Ngem sika, no ballaagam ti nadangkes maipapan iti aramidna, tapno matallikodanna daytoy, ket no saan isuna a timmallikod manipud iti aramidna, matayto isuna iti basolna, ngem sika a mismo ket maisalakanmonto ti bukodmo a biag.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 Isu a sika, anak ti tao, ibagam iti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti ibagbagayo: Adda kadakami dagiti panagsalungasingmi ken basolmi, ket madaddadaelkamin kadagitoy! Kasano nga agbiagkami?
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
11 Ibagam kadakuada, 'Iti naganko nga adda iti agnanayon—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—saanko a pakaragsakan ti ipapatay ti nadangkes a tao, ngem no agbabawi ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti aramidna, agbiagto ngarud isuna! Agbabawikayo! Agbabawikayo manipud kadagiti nadangkes a aramidyo! Ta apay koma a mataykayo, balay ti Israel?'
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
12 Ket sika, anak ti tao, ibagam kadagiti tattaom, 'Ti kinalinteg ti maysa a nalinteg a tao ket saanto a makaisalakan kenkuana no agbasol! Ken ti kinadangkes ti maysa a nadangkes a tao ket saanto a daytoy ti gapu a mapukaw isuna no agbabawi manipud iti basolna. Ta saanto nga agbiag ti nalinteg a tao gapu iti kinalintegna no agbasol isuna.
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 No ibagak iti maysa a nalinteg, “Sigurado nga agbiagto isuna!” ket no agtalek isuna iti bukodna a kinalinteg ket kalpasanna, agaramid iti saan a nainkalintegan, saankonto a lagipen ti aniaman a kinalintegna; matayto isuna iti kinadangkes nga inaramidna.
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
14 Ket no ibagak iti nadangkes, “Sigurado a matayka!” ngem no agbabawi isuna kadagiti basolna ket aramidenna ti nainkalintegan ken umno—
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15 no isublina ti naisalda kenkuana a kiniddawna a sidadangkes, wenno isublina ti tinakawna, ket no surotenna dagiti bilbilin a mangipaay iti biag ket saanen nga agramid iti basol— sigurado nga agbiagto ngarud isuna; saanto isuna a matay.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16 Awanto a pulos ti malagip kadagiti basol nga inaramidna, nagtignay isuna a sililinteg; sigurado nga agbiagto isuna!
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
17 Ngem kinuna dagiti tattaom, '“Saan a nalinteg ti wagas ti Apo!” ngem dagiti wagasyo ti saan a nalinteg!
“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 No tallikodan ti maysa a nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agaramid iti basol, daytoyto ngarud ti pakatayanna!
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 Ket no tallikodan ti maysa a nadangkes a tao ti kinadangkesna ket aramidenna ti nainkalintegan ken rumbeng, agbiagto isuna gapu kadagidiay a banbanag!
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 Ngem kinunayo dakayo a tattao, “Saan a nalinteg ti wagas ti Apo!” Ukomekto ti tunggal maysa kadakayo segun iti wagasna, balay ti Israel!'”
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
21 Napasamak daytoy iti maikasangapulo ket dua a tawen, iti maikalima nga aldaw ti maikasangapulo a bulan ti pannakaibaludtayo, nga adda immay kaniak a maysa a nakalibas manipud Jerusalem ket kinunana,
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
22 “Nasakupen ti siudad!” Adda kaniak ti ima ni Yahweh iti rabii sakbay a dimteng ti nakalibas, ket naglukat ti ngiwatko idi dimteng isuna iti parbangon. Isu a nalukatan ti ngiwatko; saanakon nga umel!
Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 Ket dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 “Anak ti tao, ibagbaga dagiti agnanaed kadagidiay a nadadael iti daga ti Israel, 'Maymaysa laeng a tao ni Abraham ket tinawidna ti daga, ngem adutayo! Naited kadatayo ti daga a kas sanikua.'
“Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
25 Ngarud ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti ibagbaga ti Apo a Yahweh: Mangmangankayo iti dara ken tumangtangadkayo kadagiti didiosenyo, ket iparparukpokyo ti dara dagiti tattao. Rumbeng kadi a tagikuaenyo ti daga?
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 Nagtalekkayo kadagiti kampilanyo ken nangaramidkayo kadagiti makarimon a banbanag; daddadaelen ti tunggal lalaki ti dayaw ti asawa ti kaarrubana. Rumbeng kadi a tagikuaenyo ti daga?'
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
27 Kastoyto ti ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a Yahweh: Iti naganko nga adda iti agnanayon, sigurado a mapasagto dagiti adda kadagiti nadadael babaen iti kampilan, ket itedkonto dagiti adda kadagiti taltalon kadagiti sibibiag a parsua a kas taraonda, ket matayto babaen kadagiti didigra dagiti adda kadagiti nasarikedkedan ken kueba.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
28 Ket pagbalinekto a langalang ken nakabutbuteng ti daga, ket agpatingganto ti kinapalangguad ti bileg daytoy, ta mabaybay-anto dagiti bantay ti Israel ken awanto ti lumabas kadagitoy.'
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 Isu a maammoandanto a siak ni Yahweh, inton pagbalinek a langalang ken nakabutbuteng ti daga gapu kadagiti amin a makarimon a banbanag nga inaramidda.
Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
30 Ket sika, anak ti tao— adda ibagbaga dagiti tattaom maipapan kenka iti abay dagiti pader ken kadagiti ruangan dagiti balbalay, ket ibagbaga ti tunggal maysa kadagiti dadduma— tunggal maysa iti kabsatna a lalaki, 'Mapantayo dumngeg iti sao ti profeta a nagtaud kenni Yahweh!'
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
31 Isu a mapanto kenka dagiti tattaok, kas iti masansan nga ar-aramidenda, ket agtugawdanto iti sangoanam ket dumngegda kadagiti sasaom, ngem saandanto a tungpalen dagitoy. Adda kadagiti ngiwatda dagiti umno a sasao, ngem dagiti pusoda ket adda kadagiti saan a nainkalintegan a pakagunggonaanda.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 Ta kaslaka makay-ayo a kanta kadakuada, maysa a napintas a samiweng a natukaran a nasayaat iti adda kuerdasna nga instrumento, isu a dumngegdanto kadagiti sasaom ngem awanto a pulos kadakuada ti agtulnog kadagitoy.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
33 Isu nga inton mapasamak amin dagitoy— kitaem! mapasamakto daytoy! — ket maammoandanto a kaduada idi ti profeta.”
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
