Ezekiel 14
1 Nang magkagayo'y lumapit sa akin ang ilan sa mga matanda sa Israel, at nangaupo sa harap ko.
And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.
2 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na nagsasabi,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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 caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all 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 with them, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet — I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
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.
in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols — 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 unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back 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 every one of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for Myself;
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 I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
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.
'And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word — I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from 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;
And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
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.
so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
12 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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, the land — when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, and cut off from it 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.
and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job — they by their righteousness deliver their own soul — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any passing through because of the 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.
these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is 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 bring in against that land, and I have said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have cut off from it 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.
and these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — they deliver not sons and daughters, for they alone are 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 send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it 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.
and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments — sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence — I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it 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 in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
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.
And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done all that which I have done in her — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
