Ezekiel 36

1 “Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, agipadtoka kadagiti bantay ti Israel ket ibagam, 'Banbantay ti Israel, dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh!

“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, listen to this message from the Lord.

2 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kinuna kadakayo dagiti kabusoryo, “Aha!” ken “Nagbalin a kukuatayo dagiti nagkauna a nangangato a lugar.'”

This is what the Lord God says: The enemy said about you, ‘Aha! These old high places now belong to us,’

3 Ngarud, agipadtoka ket ibagam: 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Gapu iti pannakalangalangyo ken gapu iti pannakarautyo manipud iti amin a suli, nagbalin a kukuanakayo dagiti dadduma a nasion; nagbalinkayo a pagtutungtongan dagiti bibig ken dila a manangperdi iti dayaw, ken istoria dagiti tattao.

so you must prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: They have turned you into a wasteland, attacking you from every direction, so that you became the property of other nations and people gossiped about you and slandered you.

4 Ngarud, banbantay ti Israel, dumngegkayo iti sao ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadagiti bantay ken kadagiti nangangato a turod, kadagiti karayan ken kadagiti tanap, kadagiti langalang a saan a mapagnaedan ken kadagiti nabaybay-an a siudad a nagbalin a banag a masamsam ken lalaisen dagiti dadduma a nasion iti aglawlawda—

So now, mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and abandoned towns, that the other nations around you have looted and mocked.

5 ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Pudno a nagsaoak iti apuy ti pungtotko maibusor kadagiti dadduma a nasion, maibusor iti Edom ken kadagiti amin a nangala iti dagak a kas sanikuada, maibusor kadagiti amin nga addaan rag-o iti pusoda ken panangtagibassit iti espirituda, bayat a saksakupenda ti dagak tapno tagikuaenda dagiti pagpasturan.'

Yes, this is what the Lord God says: I have spoken passionately against these other nations, and against all the Edomites, who took over my country and made it theirs, happily celebrating as they looted the land and treated me with complete contempt.

6 Ngarud, agipadtoka iti daga ti Israel ket ibagam kadagiti bantay ken kadagiti nangangato a turod, kadagiti karayan ken kadagiti tanap, 'kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kitaem! Iti nakaro a pungtot ken ungetko, ipakpakaammok daytoy gapu ta binaklayyo dagiti pananglais dagiti nasion.

So prophesy concerning the country of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord God says: Just watch, for I have spoken passionately about this because you have had to put up with this mockery from other nations.

7 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Ingatokto a mismo ti imak tapno isapatak a dagiti nasion iti aglawlawyo ket awitendanto ti bukodda a pakaibabainan.

This is what the Lord God says: I hold up my hand and swear that the other nations around you will suffer their own shame.

8 Ngem dakayo, banbantay ti Israel, dumakkelto dagiti sangayo ket agbunganto nga agpaay kadagiti tattaok iti Israel, gapu ta iti saan nga agbayag, agsublidanto kadakayo.

But you, mountains of Israel, will grow trees that will produce fruit for my people Israel, for soon they'll be coming home.

9 Ta kitaenyo, siak ket para kadakayo, paburankayonto, maaradokayonto ken mamulaan iti bukel.

Look, I am for you and I will help you. Your land will be ploughed, and crops will be sown.

10 Isu a paaduekto kadakayo a bantay dagiti tattao iti amin a balay ti Israel. Amin! Ket mapagnaedanto dagiti siudad ken maibangonto manen dagiti langalang.

You will support the people of Israel as they return and grow in number. People will live in the towns again and rebuild the ruins.

11 Paaduekto ti tao ken ayup kadakayo a bantay tapno umadoda ken agbungadanto. Ket ipaluboskonto a mapagnaedankayo a kas iti napalabas, ad-addanto pay a parang-ayenkayo ngem iti napalabas, ta maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh.

The number of your people will grow— they will have many children. The animals too will have many young. I will make sure that you're inhabited just as you used to be, and I will make you more prosperous that you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

12 Mangiyegakto kadagiti tattao, dagiti tattaok nga Israelita, a magna kadakayo. Tagikuaendakayonto, ket agbalinkayonto a tawidda, ket saanyonton nga ipalubos a matay dagiti annakda.

I will have my people Israel walk on you mountains. You will be theirs; you will belong to them, and you will no longer rob your nation of their children.

13 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Gapu ta ibagbagada kadakayo, “Patpatayenyo dagiti tattao, ket natay dagiti annak ti nasionyo,”

This is what the Lord God says: Because people say to you, ‘You eat people, and rob your nation of their children,’

14 ngarud, saanyonton a papatayen pay dagiti tattao ket saanyonton a pagladingiten ti nasionyo gapu kadagiti natay. Kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.

from now on you won't eat people or rob your nation of their children, declares the Lord God.

15 Wenno saankonton nga ipalubos a mangngegyo dagiti pananglais dagiti nasion; saanyonton a baklayen ti panangibabain dagiti tattao wenno saankonton nga ipalubos a mapasag ti nasionyo—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.'”

I'm going to stop these nations insulting you, and you won't have to put up with their taunts any more, or make the nation fall, declares the Lord God.”

16 Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,

Another message from Lord came to me, saying,

17 “Anak ti tao, idi nagnaedan ti balay ti Israel ti dagada, tinulawanda daytoy babaen kadagiti wagas ken aramidda. Maiyarig dagiti wagasda iti narugit a panagregla ti maysa a babai iti sangoanak.

“Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their country, they made it unclean by the way they behaved, by what they did. The way they were behaving in my presence was like the ceremonial uncleanness of a woman's period.

18 Isu nga imparukpokko ti pungtotko maibusor kadakuada gapu iti dara a pinagsayasayda iti daga ken para iti panangrugitda iti daytoy babaen kadagiti didiosenda.

So I became angry with them because of murders they committed in the country, and because they made it unclean by worshiping idols.

19 Inwarasko ida kadagiti nasion; naiwarada kadagiti daga. Inukomko ida segun kadagiti wagas ken aramidda.

I scattered them among the different nations and countries. I judged them according to the way they had behaved and what they did.

20 Ket napanda kadagiti nasion, ket sadinoman a napananda, tinulawanda ti nasantoan a naganko idi imbaga dagiti tattao kadakuada, 'Pudno kadi a dagitoy ket tattao ni Yahweh? Ta napapanawda iti dagana.'

But wherever they went among the nations, they ruined my reputation, because people said about them, ‘These are the Lord's people, but they had to leave his country.’

21 Ngem adda asik para iti nasantoan a naganko a tinulawan ti balay ti Israel kadagiti nasion, idi napanda sadiay.

So I had to take care of my reputation for holiness which the people of Israel had ruined among the nations where they'd gone.

22 Ngarud, ibagam iti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Saanko nga ar-aramiden daytoy para kadakayo, balay ti Israel, ngem para iti nasantoan a naganko, a tinulawanyo kadagiti nasion a napnapananyo.

Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I'm not doing this for you, people of Israel, but for my reputation for holiness, which you ruined among the nations where you went.

23 Ta iparangarangkonto ti kinasanto ti naindaklan a naganko, a tinulawanyo kadagiti nasion—iti nagtetengngaan dagiti nasion, tinulawanyo daytoy. Ket maammoanto dagiti nasion a siak ni Yahweh—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—inton makitayo a nasantoanak.

I will reveal the holy nature and importance of my reputation, which has been ruined among the nations, the reputation you have ruined among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when I reveal my holiness through you as they watch.

24 Alaenkayonto manipud kadagiti nasion ken urnongenkayonto manipud iti tunggal daga, ket ipankayonto iti dagayo.

For I will bring you back from among the nations, gathering you from all the different countries, and I will lead you back into your own country.

25 Ket mangiwarsiakto iti nadalus a danum kadakayo ket madalusankayonto manipud kadagiti amin a kinarugityo. Ket dalusankayonto manipud kadagiti amin a didiosenyo.

I will also pour pure water over you, and you will be clean. I will wash you clean from all your uncleanness and from all your idols.

26 Ikkankayonto iti baro a puso ken baro nga espiritu kadagiti kaungganyo, ket ikkatekto ti bimmato a pusoyo manipud iti lasagyo. Ta ikkankayonto iti puso a lasag.

I will give you a new mind and I will put a new spirit inside you. I will take away your stubborn mind and I will give you a loving mind.

27 Itedkonto kadakayo ti Espirituk ket tulongankayo a mangsurot kadagiti alagadek ken salimetmetan dagiti paglintegak, ket aramidenyonto dagitoy.

I will put my Spirit inside you so you will follow my laws and remember to do what I tell you.

28 Ket pagnaedanyonto ti daga nga intedko kadagiti kapuonanyo; dakayonto dagiti tattaok, ket siakto ti Diosyo.

Then you will live in the country I gave to your forefathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Ta isalakankayonto kadagiti amin a kinarugityo. Pagtubuekto ti bukel ken paadduekto daytoy. Saankonton a pulos nga iyeg kadakayo ti panagbisin.

I will save you from everything that makes you unclean. I will make sure you have plenty of grain. I won't send you any famines.

30 Paaduekto ti bunga ti kayo ken ti ipaay ti talonyo, tapno saanyonton a pulos a baklayen ti bain ti panagbisin kadagiti nasion.

I will also make sure you have good harvests from your orchards and fields, so that you won't be mocked by other nations anymore because of famine.

31 Ket panunotenyonto ti kinadangkes dagiti wagas ken dagiti saan a nasayaat nga aramidyo, ket guraenyonto dagiti bagiyo gapu kadagiti bukodyo a basol ken kadagiti makarimon nga aramidyo.

Then you will remember your evil ways and terrible things you've done, and you'll hate yourselves for your sins and disgusting actions.

32 Saanko nga ar-aramiden daytoy para kadakayo—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—maipakaammo koma daytoy kadakayo. Isu nga agbain ken madadael koma ti dayawyo gapu kadagiti wagasyo, balay ti Israel.

You need to realize that I'm not doing this for your sake, declares the Lord God. You should be ashamed and embarrassed for what you've done, people of Israel!

33 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Iti aldaw a dalusankayo manipud kadagiti amin a basolyo, pagnaedenkayonto kadagiti siudad ken ibangonyonto manen dagiti nadadael a lugar.

This is what the Lord God says: On the day I make you clean from all your sins, I will have you live in your towns again and make sure the ruins are rebuilt.

34 Ta aradoenyonto ti nadadael a daga agingga a saanen daytoy a nadadael iti imatang dagiti amin a lumabas.

The land that was deserted will be cultivated again instead of looking abandoned to everyone passing by.

35 Ket ibagadanto, “Langalang idi daytoy a daga, ngem nagbalin daytoy a kasla iti minuyongan ti Eden; pagnanaedan itan dagiti langalang a siudad ken dagiti nadadael a saan a mapagnaedan a saan a madandanun.”

Then they will say, ‘This deserted land is now like the garden of Eden. The towns that were demolished, abandoned, and destroyed have been restored and strengthened, and people are living in them.’

36 Ket maammoanto dagiti dadduma a nasion iti aglawlawyo a siak ni Yahweh, a siak ti nangibangon kadagiti nadadael ken nangmula manen kadagiti nabaybay-an a lugar. Siak ni Yahweh. Impakaammok daytoy ket aramidekto daytoy.

Then those nations around you that are left will acknowledge that I, the Lord, have rebuilt what was demolished, and that I have replanted what was destroyed. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will carry it out.

37 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Dawatento manen kaniak ti balay ti Israel nga aramidek daytoy para kadakuada, a paaduek ida a kas iti arban dagiti tattao.

This is what the Lord God says: I will once again answer the prayers of the people of Israel. This is what I will do for them: I will have them increase in number like a flock.

38 Kasla kadagiti arban a naidaton kenni Yahweh, kasla kadagiti arban iti Jerusalem kadagiti naituding a fiestana, mapunnonto kadagiti arban ti tattao dagiti langalang a siudad, ket maammondanto a siak ni Yahweh.'”

Just like all the many flocks that are brought to Jerusalem to be sacrificed during the religious festivals, so the towns that were once demolished will be full of flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
