Ezekiel 34
1 Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh ket kinunana,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Anak ti tao, agipadtoka a maibusor kadagiti agpaspastor iti Israel! Agipadtoka ket ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti ibagbaga ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadagiti agpaspastor: Asi pay dagiti agpaspastor iti Israel a mangipaspastor kadagiti bagbagida! Saan kadi a rumbeng a bantayan dagiti agpaspastor ti arban?
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3 Kankanenyo dagiti nalulukmeg a paset ken agkawkaweskayo iti lupot a naaramid iti buok ti karnero! Parpartienyo dagiti nalulukmeg iti arban! Saankayo a pulos a nagpastor.
You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you do not feed the sheep.
4 Saanyo a pinapigsa dagiti addaan kadagiti sagubanit, wenno saanyo nga inagasan dagiti masakit. Saanyo a bedbedbedan dagiti nablo, ken saanyo a pinasubli dagiti napapanaw wenno sinapul dagiti napukaw. Ngem ketdi, inturayanyo ida babaen iti bileg ken kinaranggas.
You have not strengthened the diseased. You have not healed that which was sick. You have not bound up that which was broken. You have not brought back that which was driven away. You have not sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
5 Ket nawarawarada nga awan ti mangipastor kadakuada, ket nagbalinda a taraon para kadagiti amin a nabiag a narungsot nga ayup kadagiti away, kalpasan a nawarawarada.
They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
6 Naiyaw-awan ti arbanko kadagiti amin a banbantay ken iti tunggal nangangato a turod, ket naiwarawarada iti entero a rabaw ti daga. Ket awan a pulos ti mangbirbirok kadakuada.
My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
7 Isu a dakayo nga agpaspastor, denggenyo ti pakaammo ni Yahweh:
“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:
8 Iti naganko nga adda iti agnanayon—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—gapu ta nagbalin a samsam ti arbanko ken nagbalin a taraon para kadagiti amin a narungsot nga ayup kadagiti away (gapu ta awan ti pastor ken awan kadagiti pastorko ti nangbiruk iti arbanko, ngem binantayan dagiti agpaspastor dagiti bagbagida ket saanda nga impastoran ti arbanko)—
“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,
9 Ngarud, dakayo nga agpaspastor, denggenyo ti pakaammo ni Yahweh:
therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”
10 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kitaem! Maibusorak kadagiti agpaspastor, ket sapulekto manipud kadagiti imada ti arbanko. Ket pasardengekto ida a mangipastor iti arban; wenno saanton nga ipastoran dagiti pastor dagiti bagbagida ta alaekto ti arbanko manipud kadagiti ngiwatda, tapno saanton nga agbalin a taraon ti arbanko para kadakuada.
The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds will not feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”
11 Ta kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kitaem! Siakto a mismo ti mangsapul iti arbanko ket aywanakto dagitoy,
“‘For the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
12 kas iti panangsapul ti agpaspastor iti arbanna iti aldaw nga adda isuna iti tengnga ti nawarawara nga arbanna. Kastanto ti panangbirokko iti arbanko, ken ispalekto ida manipud kadagiti amin a lugar a nakaiwaraanda iti aldaw a naulep ken nasipnget.
As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 Ket irruarkonto ida manipud kadagiti tattao; urnongekto ida manipud kadagiti daga ket iyegkonto ida iti dagayo. Ikabilkonto ida kadagiti pagpasturan kadagiti sikigan dagiti bantay iti Israel, iti abay dagiti karayan, ken iti tunggal pagnaedan iti daga.
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 Ikabilkonto ida iti nasayaat a pagpasturan; dagitinto nangangato a bantay ti Israel dagiti lugar a pagarabanda. Agiddadanto kadagiti nasasayaat a lugar a pagaraban, iti nawadwad a pagpasturan, ken agarabdanto kadagiti bantay ti Israel.
I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 Siakto a mismo ti mangipastor iti arbanko, ken siakto a mismo ti mangpaidda kadakuada—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—
I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord GOD.
16 birukekto ti napukaw ken isublikto ti napagtalaw; bedbedakto ti nablo a karnero ken agasakto ti masakit a karnero. Ket pukawekto dagiti napalukmeg ken napigsa! Agpastorakto a nainkalintegan!
“I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.”’
17 Ket sika nga arbanko—kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh— kitaem! Siakto ti agbalin nga ukom kadagiti karnero, kadagiti kalakian a karnero ken kadagiti kalding!
“As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
18 Bassit kadi a banag a maipastorkayo iti nasayaat a pagpasturan, isu a tarigagayanyo a baddekan ti natda iti pagpasturan? Wenno bassit kadi a banag nga imminumkayo kadagiti nalitnaw a danum, a rumbeng a libegenyo dagiti karayan babaen kadagiti sakayo?
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?
19 Ngem ti karnerok ket maipaspastoren iti binaddebaddekan dagiti sakayo; in-inumendan dagiti danum a linibegyo babaen kadagiti sakayo!
As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’
20 Kastoy ngarud ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadakuada: Kitaem! Siakto a mismo ti mangukom kadagiti nalukmeg ken kadagiti nakuttong a karnero,
“Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21 ta induronyo ida babaen kadagiti bakrang ken abagayo, ken sinangduyo dagiti amin nga agkakapuy agingga nga inwarayo ida iti adayu manipud iti daga!
Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
22 Isu nga isalakankonto ti arbanko; saandanton a pulos nga agbalin a samsam. Ket ukomekto dagiti karnero!
therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 Mangisaadakto iti maysa nga agpastor kadakuada, ket ipastornanto ida—ti adipenko a ni David! Ipastornanto ida; agbalinto isuna a pastorda!
I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
24 Ta siak, a ni Yahweh, ti agbalinto a Diosda, ket ti adipenko a ni David ti agbalinto a panguloda—siak, a ni Yahweh ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!
I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken it.
25 Ket mangaramidakto iti katulagan a pakikapia kadakuada ken ikkatekto dagiti dakes nga atap nga ayup manipud iti daga, isu nga agbiagto a sitatalged dagiti karnerok iti let-ang ken maturogdanto kadagiti kabakiran.
“‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
26 Bendisionakto pay ida ken dagiti naglikmut a turodko, ta mangiyegakto iti arbis iti naikeddeng a tiempo. Dagitoyto ket arbis iti bendision!
I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.
27 Ket agbunganto dagiti kayo iti talon, ken mangipaayto ti daga iti bunga. Natalgedto dagiti karnerok iti dagada; ket maammoandanto a siak ni Yahweh, inton tukkolek dagiti balunet ti sangolda, ken inton ispalek ida manipud iti ima dagiti nangtagabu kadakuada.
The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
28 Saandanton a pulos nga agbalin a samsam kadagiti nasion, ket saanto ida a pulos a kanen dagiti atap nga ayup! Ta agbiagdanto a sitatalged ket saandanto nga agbuteng.
They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
29 Ta mangaramidakto iti natalna a lugar a pagmulaan para kadakuada tapno saandanton a pulos a matay iti bisin iti daga, ket saanto ida a laisen dagiti nasion.
I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
30 Ket maammoandanto a siak, a ni Yahweh a Diosda ket addaak kadakuada. Isuda dagiti tattaok, ti balay ti Israel— kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.
They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.
31 Ta dakayo dagiti karnerok, ti arban iti pagpasturak, ken dagiti tattaok! Siakto ti Diosyo— kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.'”
You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord GOD.”
