Ezekiel 5
1 “Ket sika, anak ti tao, mangalaka iti natadem a kampilan a kas iti labaha ti barbero para iti bagim. Ipadalanmo ti labaha iti ulom ken iti barbasmo, ket mangalaka iti timbangan a pangtimbangam ken bingaybingayem ti buokmo.
“As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
2 Puoram ti kakatlo daytoy iti tengnga ti siudad inton malpas dagiti aldaw ti pannakalakub. Ket alaem ti maysa a kakatlo ti buok ket putdem daytoy babaen iti kampilan iti aglawlaw ti siudad. Ket iwarawaram iti angin ti maysa pay a kakatlo daytoy, ket asutekto ti kampilan a mangkamat kadagiti tattao.
When the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.
3 Ngem mangalaka iti sangkabassit a buok manipud kadagitoy ket igalutmo kadagiti manggas ti kawesmo.
But you are to take a few strands of hair and secure them in the folds of your garment.
4 Kalpasanna, mangalaka pay iti buok ket ipurruakmo iti tengnga ti apuy; puoram daytoy; manipud sadiay ket agkayamkamto ti apuy iti entero a balay ti Israel.”
Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
5 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Daytoy ti Jerusalem, iti tengnga dagiti nasion a nangisaadak iti daytoy ken pinalawlawak daytoy kadagiti dadduma a pagilian.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.
6 Ngem linaksidna dagiti bilinko gapu iti kinadangkes a nalablabes pay ngem kadagiti nasion, kasta met a linaksidna dagiti paglintegak a nalablabes pay ngem kadagiti pagilian iti aglawlawna. Ket linaksidna dagiti pangngeddengko ken saanda a tinungpal dagiti paglintegak!”
But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
7 Kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Gapu ta napalalo ti kinamanagbasolmo ngem kadagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo ken saanka a nagtungpal kadagiti paglintegak kasta met saanka a nagtignay segun kadagiti bilinko, ken saanka a nagtignay segun kadagiti bilin dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo.”
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
8 Kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Dumngegka!” Siak a mismo ti mangdusa kenka! Dusaenkanto tapno makita dagiti nasion.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
9 Gapu kadagiti makarimon nga aramidmo, aramidekto kenka ti saanko pay nga inaramid ken saankonto manen nga aramiden.
Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.
10 Ngarud kanento dagiti amma dagiti annakda iti nagtetengngaanyo ken kanen met dagiti annak a lallaki dagiti ammada, agsipud ta dusaenkayonto, ket maiwarawarakayo kadagiti amin a suli ti daga, dakayo amin a nabati!
As a result, fathers among you will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments against you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.’
11 Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo. Ngarud, isapatak a mapasamakto daytoy gapu ta tinulawam ti santuariok gapu kadagiti amin a didiosem a makaparurod ken dagiti makarimon nga aramidmo, ta siak a mismo ti mangkissay iti bilang dagiti tattaom; saanakto a maasian kenka, ket saankanto nga ispalen.
Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and abominations, I Myself will withdraw My favor; I will not look upon you with pity, nor will I spare you.
12 Matayto ti kakatlo kadakayo babaen iti didigra, ken maibusdanto gapu iti nakaro a panagbisin. Matayto ti kakatlo kadakayo babaen iti kampilan a nangpalikawkaw kadakayo. Ket iwarawarakto ti kakatlo kadakayo kadagiti amin a suli ti daga, ken asutekto ti kampilan a mangkamat kadakuada.
A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine within you, a third will fall by the sword outside your walls, and a third I will scatter to every wind and unleash a sword behind them.
13 Ket maan-anayton ti pungtotko, ken paginanaekton ti pungtotko kadakuada. Mapnekakto, ket maammoandanto a Siak a ni Yahweh ket nagsaoak gapu iti pungtotko idi naan-anaykon ti pungtotko kadakuada.
And when My anger is spent and I have vented My wrath against them, I will be appeased. And when I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, the LORD, in My zeal have spoken.
14 Pagbalinenkanto a langalang ken laisendakanto dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo, iti imatang ti amin a lumabas.
I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
15 Isu nga umsien ken laisento dagiti dadduma a tattao ti Jerusalem, agbalinto a ballaag ken pagbutngan dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo. Ipatungapalkonto ti panangukom maibusor kenka gapu iti kasta unay a pungtotko, a buyogan iti nalabes a panangtubngar—Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!
So you will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
16 Ipaturongkonto kenka dagiti natatadem a pana iti nakaro a panagbisin nga isunto ti pakatayam. Ta pakaroekto ti panagbisin ken tukkolekto ti sarukod ti tinapaymo.
When I shower you with the deadly arrows of famine and destruction that I will send to destroy you, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of food.
17 Iyegkonto kenka ti panagbisin ken dagiti didigra tapno saankanto nga aganak. Didigra ken pannakatay ti lumabasto kenka, ket iyegkonto ti kampilan maibusor kenka—Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”
I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
