Ezekiel 16

1 Muling ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi.

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 Anak ng tao, ipakilala mo sa Jerusalem ang kaniyang mga kasuklamsuklam.

“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.

3 At sabihin mo, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa Jerusalem: Ang iyong pinagmulan at ang iyong kapanganakan ay ang lupain ng Cananeo; ang Amorrheo ay iyong Ama, at ang iyong ina ay Hethea.

Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.

4 At tungkol sa iyong kapanganakan, nang araw na ikaw ay ipanganak ay hindi naputol ang iyong pusod, o napaliguan ka man sa tubig upang linisin ka; ikaw ay hindi pinahiran ng asin, o nabalot man.

[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].

5 Walang matang nahabag sa iyo; upang gawin ang anoman sa mga ito sa iyo, na maawa sa iyo; kundi ikaw ay nahagis sa luwal na parang, sapagka't ang iyong pagkatao ay itinakuwil, nang araw na ikaw ay ipanganak.

No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.

6 At nang ako'y dumaan sa tabi mo, at makita kita na nagugumon sa iyong dugo, sinabi ko sa iyo, Bagaman ikaw ay nagugumon sa iyong dugo, mabuhay ka: oo, sinabi ko sa iyo, Bagaman ikaw ay nagugumon sa iyong dugo, mabuhay ka.

Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”

7 Pinarami kita na parang damo sa parang, at ikaw ay kumapal at dumakilang mainam, at ikaw ay nagtamo ng mainam na kagayakan: ang iyong dibdib ay naganyo, at ang iyong buhok ay lumago; gayon ma'y ikaw ay hubo at hubad.

[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].

8 Nang ako nga'y magdaan sa tabi mo, at tumingin sa iyo, narito, ang iyong panahon ay panahon ng pagibig; at aking iniladlad ang aking balabal sa iyo, at tinakpan ko ang iyong kahubaran: oo, ako'y sumumpa sa iyo, at nakipagtipan sa iyo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, at ikaw ay naging akin.

When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.

9 Nang magkagayo'y pinaliguan kita ng tubig; oo, aking nilinis na mainam ang iyong dugo, at pinahiran kita ng langis.

[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.

10 Binihisan din naman kita ng yaring may burda, at sinapatusan kita ng balat ng foka, at binigkisan kita sa palibot ng mainam na kayong lino, at binalot kita ng sutla.

[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.

11 Ginayakan din naman kita ng hiyas, at nilagyan ko ng mga pulsera ang iyong mga kamay, at ng isang kuwintas ang iyong leeg.

[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.

12 At nilagyan ko ng hikaw ang iyong ilong, at ng mga hikaw ang iyong mga tainga, at isang magandang putong ang iyong ulo.

I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Ganito ka nagayakan ng ginto at pilak; at ang iyong damit ay mainam na kayong lino, at sutla at yaring may burda; ikaw ay kumain ng mainam na harina, at ng pulot, at ng langis; at ikaw ay lubhang maganda, at ikaw ay guminhawa sa kalagayang pagkahari.

So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.

14 At ang iyong kabantugan ay nangalat sa gitna ng mga bansa dahil sa iyong kagandahan; sapagka't naging sakdal dahil sa aking kamahalan na aking inilagay sa iyo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.

15 Nguni't ikaw ay tumiwala sa iyong kagandahan, at nagpatutot dahil sa iyong kabantugan, at ikinalat mo ang iyong mga pakikiapid sa bawa't nagdaraan; yao'y kaniya nga.

But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.

16 At kinuha mo ang iyong mga suot, at ginawa mo para sa iyo ang mga mataas na dako na kagayakan na may sarisaring kulay, at nagpatutot sa kanila: ang gayong mga bagay ay hindi na darating, o mangyayari pa man.

[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!

17 Kinuha mo naman ang iyong mga magandang hiyas na ginto at pilak, na aking ibinigay sa iyo, at ginawa mo sa iyo ng mga larawan ng mga tao, at iyong ipinagpatutot sa kanila;

You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.

18 At iyong kinuha ang iyong mga bihisang may burda, at ibinalot mo sa kanila, at inilagay mo ang aking langis at ang aking kamangyan sa harap nila.

You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].

19 Ang aking tinapay naman na aking ibinigay sa iyo, mainam na harina, at langis, pulot, na aking ipinakain sa iyo, iyong inilagay nga sa harap nila na pinakamasarap na amoy; at ganito nangyari, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.

20 Bukod dito'y kinuha mo ang iyong mga anak na lalake at babae, na iyong ipinanganak sa akin, at ang mga ito ay iyong inihain sa kanila upang lamunin. Ang iyo bagang mga pakikiapid ay maliit na bagay.

And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.

21 Na iyong pinatay ang aking mga anak, at iyong ibinigay sila na pinararaan sila sa apoy?

You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!

22 At sa lahat ng iyong mga kasuklamsuklam, at ng iyong mga pakikiapid hindi mo inalaala ang mga kaarawan ng iyong kabataan, nang ikaw ay hubo at hubad, at nagugumon sa iyong dugo.

All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.

23 At nangyari, pagkatapos ng iyong buong kasamaan (sa aba, sa aba mo! sabi ng Panginoong Dios),

So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,

24 Na ikaw ay nagtayo para sa iyo ng isang matayog na dako, at gumawa ka para sa iyo ng mataas na dako sa bawa't lansangan.

you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.

25 Itinayo mo ang iyong mataas na dako sa bawa't bukana ng daan, at ginawa mong kasuklamsuklam ang iyong kagandahan, at ibinuka mo ang iyong mga paa sa bawa't nagdaraan, at pinarami mo ang iyong pakikiapid.

At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.

26 Ikaw naman ay nakiapid din sa mga taga Egipto, na iyong mga kalapit bayan, na malaki sa pangangatawan; at iyong pinarami ang iyong pakikiapid upang mungkahiin mo ako sa galit.

[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.

27 Narito nga, iniunat ko ang aking kamay sa iyo, at binawasan ko ang iyong karaniwang pagkain, at ibinigay kita sa balang maibigan ng nangagtatanim sa iyo, na mga anak na babae ng mga Filisteo, na nangapapahiya sa iyong kalibugan.

So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.

28 Ikaw naman ay nagpatutot din sa mga taga Asiria, sapagka't ikaw ay hindi nasisiyahan: oo, ikaw ay nagpatutot sa kanila, at gayon ma'y hindi ka nasisiyahan.

[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.

29 Bukod dito'y iyong pinarami ang iyong pakikiapid sa lupain ng Canaan, hanggang sa Caldea; at gayon ma'y hindi ka nasisiyahan.

So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.

30 Pagkahinahina ng iyong loob, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, palibhasa'y iyong ginagawa ang lahat na bagay na ito, na gawa ng isang hambog na patutot:

I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].

31 Sa iyong pagtatayo ng iyong matayog na dako sa bukana ng bawa't daan, at ginagawa mo ang iyong mataas na dako sa bawa't lansangan; at hindi ka naging gaya ng isang patutot sa iyong pagwawalang kabuluhan ng upa.

When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.

32 Isang babae na napakakalunya! na tumatanggap sa iba na kahalili ng kaniyang asawa!

You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.

33 Sila'y nagbibigay ng mga kaloob sa lahat ng mga patutot: nguni't ikaw ay nagbibigay ng iyong mga kaloob sa lahat na mangliligaw sa iyo, at iyong sinusuhulan sila, upang sila'y magsilapit sa iyo sa bawa't dako, dahil sa iyong mga pakikiapid.

Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.

34 At ang kaibahan ng ibang mga babae ay nasa iyo sa iyong mga pakikiapid, sa paraang walang sumusunod sa iyo upang makiapid: at sa iyong pagbibigay ng upa, at walang upa na ibinibigay sa iyo, kaya't ikaw ay kaiba.

So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.

35 Kaya't, Oh patutot, pakinggan mo ang salita ng Panginoon:

Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!

36 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Sapagka't ang iyong karumihan ay nahayag, at ang iyong kahubaran ay nalitaw sa iyong mga pakikiapid sa mga mangliligaw sa iyo; at dahil sa lahat ng diosdiosan na iyong mga kasuklamsuklam, at dahil sa dugo ng iyong mga anak, na iyong ibinigay sa kanila;

I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.

37 Kaya't, narito, aking pipisanin ang lahat na mangingibig sa iyo, na iyong pinagkaroonan ng kalayawan, at lahat ng iyong inibig, sangpu ng lahat na iyong kinapuotan; akin ngang pipisanin sila laban sa iyo sa bawa't dako, at aking ililitaw ang iyong kahubaran sa kanila, upang kanilang makita ang iyong buong kahubaran.

So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.

38 At aking hahatulan ka na gaya ng hatol sa mga babaing nangangalunya at nagbububo ng dugo; at aking dadalhin sa iyo ang dugo ng kapusukan at ng paninibugho.

I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.

39 Ikaw ay ibibigay ko rin sa kanilang kamay, at kanilang ibabagsak ang iyong matayog na dako, at igigiba ang iyong mga mataas na dako, at kanilang huhubaran ka ng iyong mga suot, at kukunin ang iyong magandang mga hiyas; at kanilang iiwan ka na hubo at hubad.

I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].

40 Sila naman ay mangagaahon ng isang pulutong laban sa iyo, at babatuhin ka nila ng mga bato, at palalagpasan ka ng kanilang mga tabak.

They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

41 At susunugin nila ng apoy ang iyong mga bahay, at maglalapat ng mga kahatulan sa iyo sa paningin ng maraming babae; at aking patitigilin ka sa pagpapapatutot, at ikaw naman ay hindi na magbibigay pa ng upa.

They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.

42 Sa gayo'y aking papawiin ang aking kapusukan sa iyo, at ang aking paninibugho ay hihiwalay sa iyo, at ako'y matatahimik, at hindi na magagalit pa.

Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].

43 Sapagka't hindi mo naalaala ang mga kaarawan ng iyong kabataan, kundi ako'y pinapagiinit mo sa lahat ng mga bagay na ito; kaya't, narito, akin namang pararatingin ang iyong lakad sa iyong ulo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios: at hindi ka na gagawa ng kahalayang ito, na higit kay sa lahat ng iyong mga kasuklamsuklam.

You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.

44 Narito, bawa't sumasambit ng mga kawikaan ay sasambitin ang kawikaang ito laban sa iyo, na sasabihin, Kung ano ang ina, gayon ang kaniyang anak na babae.

People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”

45 Ikaw ang anak na babae ng iyong ina, na nagtakuwil ng kaniyang asawa at ng kaniyang mga anak; at ikaw ang kapatid ng iyong mga kapatid, na nagtakuwil ng kanilang mga asawa at ng kanilang mga anak: ang inyong ina ay Hetea, at ang inyong ama ay Amorrheo.

You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.

46 At ang iyong panganay na kapatid na babae ay ang Samaria na tumatahan sa iyong kaliwa, siya at ang kaniyang mga anak na babae; at ang iyong bunsong kapatid na babae na tumatahan sa iyong kanan ay Sodoma at ang kaniyang mga anak.

And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.

47 Gayon ma'y hindi ka lumakad sa kanilang mga lakad, o gumawa man ng ayon sa kanilang kasuklamsuklam, kundi wari napakaliit na bagay, ikaw ay hamak na higit kay sa kanila sa lahat ng iyong mga lakad.

You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.

48 Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, ang Sodoma na iyong kapatid na babae ay hindi gumawa, siya o ang kaniyang mga anak na babae man, na gaya ng iyong ginawa, ng ginawa mo, at ng iyong mga anak na babae.

I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.

49 Narito, ito ang kasamaan ng iyong kapatid na babae na Sodoma; kapalaluan, kayamuan sa tinapay, at ang malabis na kapahingahan ay nasa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anak na babae; at hindi man niya pinalakas ang kamay ng dukha at mapagkailangan.

These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.

50 At sila'y palalo at gumawa ng kasuklamsuklam sa harap ko: kaya't aking inalis sila, ayon sa aking minagaling.

The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.

51 Kahit ang Samaria ay hindi nakagawa ng kalahati ng iyong mga kasalanan, nguni't pinarami mo ang iyong mga kasuklamsuklam na higit kay sa kanila, at iyong pinabuti ang iyong mga kapatid na babae sa pamamagitan ng lahat mong mga kasuklamsuklam na iyong ginawa.

Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.

52 Ikaw rin naman, taglayin mo ang iyong sariling kahihiyan, sa iyong paglalapat ng kahatulan sa iyong mga kapatid na babae; sa iyong mga kasalanan na iyong nagawa na higit na kasuklamsuklam kay sa kanila, sila'y lalong matuwid kay sa iyo: oo, malito ka, at taglayin mo ang iyong kahihiyan, sa iyong pagpapabuti sa iyong mga kapatid na babae.

Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].

53 At aking panunumbalikin uli sila mula sa kanilang pagkabihag, sa pagkabihag ng Sodoma at ng kaniyang mga anak na babae, at sa pagkabihag ng Samaria at ng kaniyang mga anak na babae, at sa pagkabihag ng iyong mga bihag sa gitna nila.

However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.

54 Upang iyong taglayin ang iyong sariling kahihiyan, at ikaw ay mapahiya dahil sa lahat na iyong ginawa sa iyong pagaliw sa kanila.

You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.

55 At ang iyong mga kapatid na babae ang Sodoma at ang kaniyang mga anak na babae mangagbabalik sa kanilang dating kalagayan; at ang Samaria at ang kaniyang mga anak na babae ay mangagbabalik sa kanilang dating kalagayan; at ikaw at ang iyong mga anak ay mangagbabalik sa inyong dating kalagayan.

[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.

56 Sapagka't ang iyong kapatid na babae na Sodoma ay hindi nabanggit ng iyong bibig sa kaarawan ng iyong kapalaluan;

You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,

57 Bago nalitaw ang iyong kasamaan, gaya sa panahon ng kapulaan sa mga anak na babae ng Siria, at sa lahat na nangasa palibot niya, na mga anak na babae ng mga Filisteo, na siyang kumukutya sa iyo sa palibot.

before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.

58 Iyong isinagawa ang iyong kahalayan at ang iyong mga kasuklamsuklam, sabi ng Panginoon.

And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.

59 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Akin namang gagawin sa iyo na gaya ng iyong ginawa, na iyong hinamak ang sumpa sa pagsira ng tipan.

This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.

60 Gayon ma'y aalalahanin ko ang aking tipan sa iyo nang mga kaarawan ng iyong kabataan, at aking itatatag sa iyo ang isang walang hanggang tipan.

But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.

61 Kung magkagayo'y aalalahanin mo ang iyong mga lakad, at mapapahiya ka, pagka iyong tatanggapin ang iyong mga kapatid na babae, ang iyong mga matandang kapatid at ang iyong batang kapatid: at aking ibibigay sila sa iyo na mga pinakaanak na babae, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ng iyong tipan.

Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.

62 At aking itatatag ang aking tipan sa iyo; at iyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon;

I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

63 Upang iyong maalaala, at malito ka, at kailan pa man ay hindi mo na bukahin ang iyong bibig, dahil sa iyong kahihiyan, pagka aking pinatawad ka ng lahat na iyong nagawa, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
