< Ezekiel 33 >

1 Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord 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 thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:
3 Siputanna ti kampilan nga um-umay iti daga ket puyotanna ti tangguyobna tapno ballaaganna dagiti tattao!
And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell 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 he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon 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 look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.
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.'
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
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 thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them 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 say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy 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.
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy 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?
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon 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?'
Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O 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.
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin.
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.
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die.
14 Ket no ibagak iti nadangkes, “Sigurado a matayka!” ngem no agbabawi isuna kadagiti basolna ket aramidenna ti nainkalintegan ken umno—
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,
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.
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 Awanto a pulos ti malagip kadagiti basol nga inaramidna, nagtignay isuna a sililinteg; sigurado nga agbiagto isuna!
None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live.
17 Ngem kinuna dagiti tattaom, '“Saan a nalinteg ti wagas ti Apo!” ngem dagiti wagasyo ti saan a nalinteg!
And the children of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not equitable: whereas their own way is unjust.
18 No tallikodan ti maysa a nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agaramid iti basol, daytoyto ngarud ti pakatayanna!
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them.
19 Ket no tallikodan ti maysa a nadangkes a tao ti kinadangkesna ket aramidenna ti nainkalintegan ken rumbeng, agbiagto isuna gapu kadagidiay a banbanag!
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice: be shall live in them.
20 Ngem kinunayo dakayo a tattao, “Saan a nalinteg ti wagas ti Apo!” Ukomekto ti tunggal maysa kadakayo segun iti wagasna, balay ti Israel!'”
And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.
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,
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste.
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!
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more.
23 Ket dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord 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, they that dwell in these ruinous 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 in possession.
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 say to them: Thus saith the Lord God, You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance?
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 stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbour’s wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?
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.
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall 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.'
And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.
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.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for 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!'
And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each men to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth 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.
And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
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.
And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33 Isu nga inton mapasamak amin dagitoy— kitaem! mapasamakto daytoy! — ket maammoandanto a kaduada idi ti profeta.”
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming, ) then shall they know that a prophet bath been among them.
