Ezekiel 14

1 Nang magkagayo'y lumapit sa akin ang ilan sa mga matanda sa Israel, at nangaupo sa harap ko.

Then came there unto me men, of the elders of Israel, —and sat before me—

2 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na nagsasabi,

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

3 Anak ng tao, tinaglay ng mga lalaking ito ang kanilang mga diosdiosan sa kanilang puso, at inilagay ang katitisuran ng kanilang kasamaan sa harap ng kanilang mukha: dapat bagang sanggunian nila ako?

Son of man These men have brought up their manufactured gods upon their hear, And their stumbling-block of iniquity, have they set straight before their face, —Shall I be at all enquired of by them?

4 Kaya't salitain mo sa kanila, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel na nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta; akong Panginoon ay sasagot sa kaniya roon ng ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan;

Therefore speak unto them and say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel Who shall bring up his manufactured gods upon his heart, And set, his stumbling-block of iniquity, straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, I Yahweh, have myself answered him thereby. By the multitude of his manufactured gods:

5 Upang aking makuha ang sangbahayan ni Israel sa kanilang sariling puso sapagka't silang lahat ay nagsilayo sa akin dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan.

To the end the house of Israel may be taken by their own hearts, —in that they have estranged themselves from me, through their manufactured gods—all of them!

6 Kaya't sabihin mo sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Mangagbalik-loob kayo, at kayo'y magsitalikod sa inyong mga diosdiosan; at ihiwalay ninyo ang inyong mga mukha sa lahat ninyong kasuklamsuklam.

Therefore, say thou unto the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Turn ye—and make good your return—from your manufactured gods; And, from all your abominations, make good the turning away of your faces.

7 Sapagka't bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel, o sa mga taga ibang lupa na nangananahan sa Israel, na humihiwalay ng kaniyang sarili sa akin, at nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta upang magusisa sa akin tungkol sa kaniyang sarili; akong Panginoon ang sasagot sa kaniya:

For what man soever of the house of Israel Or of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, Who shall estrange himself from following me And who shall bring up his manufactured gods, on his heart, And whose stumbling-block of iniquity, he shall set straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, to enquire by him of me, I Yahweh, will myself answer him, on my own account;

8 At aking ititingin ang aking mukha laban sa taong yaon, at aking gagawin siyang katigilan, na pinakatanda at pinaka kawikaan, at aking ihihiwalay siya sa gitna ng aking bayan; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

And will set my face against that man And will make of him a sign and a proverb, And will cut him off out of the midst of my people: So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

9 At kung ang propeta ay madaya at magsalita ng isang salita, akong Panginoon ang dumaya sa propetang yaon, at aking iuunat ang aking kamay sa kaniya, at papatayin ko siya mula sa gitna ng aking bayang Israel.

Yea the prophet himself when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived, Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of the midst of my people. Israel:

10 At kanilang dadanasin ang kanilang kasamaan: ang kasamaan ng propeta ay magiging gaya nga ng kasamaan niya na humahanap sa kaniya;

So shall they bear their punishment, As the punishment of him that enquireth, So shall the punishment of the prophet be:

11 Upang ang sangbahayan ni Israel ay huwag nang maligaw pa sa akin, o mahawa pa man sa lahat nilang pagsalangsang; kundi upang sila'y maging aking bayan, at ako'y maging kanilang Dios, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

That the house of Israel may no more go astray from following me, And no more defile themselves by any of their transgressions, — But may become my people, and I, may become their God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

12 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,

And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

13 Anak ng tao, pagka ang isang lupain ay nagkasala laban sa akin ng pagsalangsang, at aking iniunat ang aking kamay roon, at aking binali ang tungkod ng tinapay niyaon, at nagsugo ako ng kagutom doon, at aking inihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;

Son of man, When a land, shall sin against me by committing treachery, and I shall stretch out my hand against it, And break for it the staff of bread, And send thereon famine, And cut off therefrom man and beast,

14 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito, na si Noe, si Daniel at si Job, ay nangandoon, ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling mga kaluluwa, sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

Then should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they by their righteousness should deliver their own lives— Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

15 Kung aking paraanin ang mga mabangis na hayop sa lupain, at kanilang sirain, at ito'y magiba na anopa't walang taong makadaan dahil sa mga hayop;

If a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast,

16 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; sila lamang ang maliligtas, nguni't ang lupain ay masisira.

[Were] these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone should be delivered, But the land, should become a desolation.

17 O kung ako'y magpasapit ng tabak sa lupaing yaon, at aking sabihin, Tabak, dumaan ka sa lupain; na anopa't aking ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;

Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say. O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast,

18 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, sila'y hindi mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man, kundi sila lamang ang maliligtas.

Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live! Saith My Lord Yahweh, They should deliver neither sons nor daughters, — For they alone, should be delivered.

19 O kung ako'y magsugo ng salot sa lupaing yaon, at aking ibugso ang aking kapusukan sa kaniya na may kabagsikan, upang ihiwalay ang tao't hayop;

Or pestilence, I, should send into that land, —and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom man and beast

20 Bagaman si Noe, si Daniel, at si Job, ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling kaluluwa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran.

Were Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.

21 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Gaano pa nga kaya kung aking pasapitin ang aking apat na mahigpit na kahatulan sa Jerusalem, ang tabak, at ang kagutom, at ang mabangis na hayop, at ang salot, upang ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop?

For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, How much less [should they avail] when my four calamitous judgments, sword and famine and mischievous wild beast and pestilence I have sent against Jerusalem, —to cut off therefrom man and beast?

22 Gayon ma'y, narito, doo'y maiiwan ang isang nalabi na ilalabas, mga anak na lalake at sangpu ng babae: narito, kanilang lalabasin kayo, at inyong makikita ang kanilang mga lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa; at kayo'y mangaaaliw tungkol sa kasamaan na aking pinasapit sa Jerusalem, tungkol sa lahat na aking pinasapit doon.

Yet lo! there hath been left therein a remnant of fugitives to be brought forth —sons and daughters— There they are! coming forth unto you, And so ye shall see their way, and their doings, and be consoled over the calamity which I have brought in upon Jerusalem even all that I have brought in upon her.

23 At kanilang aaliwin kayo pagka nakikita ninyo ang kanilang lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa at inyong makikilala na hindi ko ginawang walang kadahilanan ang lahat na aking ginawa roon, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

Yea they shall console you, when ye see their way and their doings, — So shall ye know that not without cause, have I done, anything that I have done with her, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
