Ezekiel 34
1 Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh ket kinunana,
Then the word of the LORD 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 that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?
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, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
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 weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.
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 for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
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 flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’
7 Isu a dakayo nga agpaspastor, denggenyo ti pakaammo ni Yahweh:
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
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 surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
9 Ngarud, dakayo nga agpaspastor, denggenyo ti pakaammo ni Yahweh:
therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
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.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer 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 this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and 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 looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
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, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.
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 in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in 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 will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares 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 the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with 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!
This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the 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?
Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?
19 Ngem ti karnerok ket maipaspastoren iti binaddebaddekan dagiti sakayo; in-inumendan dagiti danum a linibegyo babaen kadagiti sakayo!
Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’
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 this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself 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!
Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones 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!
I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
23 Mangisaadakto iti maysa nga agpastor kadakuada, ket ipastornanto ida—ti adipenko a ni David! Ipastornanto ida; agbalinto isuna a pastorda!
I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and 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 will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.
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 rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.
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 send down showers in season—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 trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock 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 delivered them from the hands that enslaved 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 longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not consume them. They will dwell securely, and no one will frighten them.
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.
And I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.
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.
Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares 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 are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
