Ezekiel 21

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

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

2 Anak ng tao, itingin mo ang iyong mukha sa dakong Jerusalem, at magbadya ka ng iyong salita sa dako ng mga santuario, at manghula ka laban sa lupain ng Israel;

“You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.

3 At sabihin mo sa lupain ng Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Narito, ako'y laban sa iyo, at aking bubunutin ang aking tabak sa kaloban, at ihihiwalay ko sa iyo ang matuwid at ang masama.

Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.

4 Yaman nga na aking ihihiwalay sa iyo ang matuwid at ang masama, kaya't aking bubunutin ang aking tabak sa kaloban na laban sa lahat na tao na mula sa timugan hanggang sa hilagaan:

[what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.

5 At malalaman ng lahat na tao na akong Panginoon ay bumunot ng aking tabak sa kaloban; hindi na isusuksok pa.

Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’

6 Magbuntong-hininga ka nga, ikaw na anak ng tao; na may pagkasira ng iyong mga balakang at may kapanglawang magbubuntong-hininga ka sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].

7 At mangyayari, pagka kanilang sinasabi sa iyo, Bakit ka nagbubuntong-hininga? na iyong sasabihin, Dahil sa mga balita, sapagka't dumarating; at ang bawa't puso ay manglulumo, at ang lahat na kamay ay manghihina, at ang bawa't espiritu ay manglulupaypay, at ang lahat na tuhod ay manglalambot na parang tubig: narito, dumarating, at mangyayari, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”

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

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],

9 Anak ng tao, manghula ka, at sabihin mo, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Sabihin mo, Isang tabak, isang tabak ay nahasa, at kuminang din naman;

“You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.

10 Nahasa upang manglipol; kuminang upang maging parang kidlat: gagawa nga baga tayo ng mga kasayahan? ang tungkod ng aking anak ay humahamak sa bawa't punong kahoy.

It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.

11 At pinakikinang, upang hawakan: ang tabak, ito'y nahasa, oo, pinakinang, upang ibigay sa kamay ng manglilipol.

A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.

12 Humiyaw ka at manambitan ka, anak ng tao; sapagka't nauumang sa aking bayan, nauumang sa lahat ng mga prinsipe sa Israel: sila'y nangabigay sa tabak na kasama ng aking bayan; tampalin mo nga ang iyong hita.

[So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].

13 Sapagka't may paglilitis; at paano kung pati ng tungkod na humahamak ay mawala? sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.

14 Ikaw nga, anak ng tao, manghula ka, at ipakpak mo kapuwa ang iyong mga kamay; at ang tabak ay malupi sa ikatlo, ang tabak ng nasugatan sa ikamamatay: siyang tabak ng dakilang nasugatan sa ikamamatay na pumasok sa kanilang mga silid.

So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.

15 Aking iniumang ang kumikinang na tabak laban sa lahat nilang pintuang-bayan, upang ang kanilang puso ay manglumo, at ang kanilang mga pagkatisod ay dumami: ah! ang pagkayari ay parang kidlat, na inihasa upang ipangpatay.

In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.

16 Humayo ka sa isang dako, lumagay ka sa kanan, o lumagay ka sa kaliwa, saan man mapaharap ang iyong mukha.

Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.

17 Akin din namang ipapakpak kapuwa ang aking mga kamay, at aking lulubusin ang aking kapusukan: ako ang Panginoon, ang nagsalita.

Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”

18 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi,

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

19 Gayon din, ikaw na anak ng tao, magtakda ka sa iyo ng dalawang daan, na mapanggagalingan ng tabak ng hari sa Babilonia; silang dalawa ay kapuwa lalabas sa isang lupain: at landasan mo ng dako, landasan mo sa bukana ng daang patungo sa bayan.

“You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.

20 Ikaw ay magtatakda ng daan para sa tabak na paroon sa Raba ng mga anak ni Ammon, at sa Juda sa Jerusalem na nakukutaan.

[If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.

21 Sapagka't ang hari sa Babilonia ay tumayo sa pinagkakahiwalayan ng daan, sa bukana ng dalawang daan, upang magbadya ng panghuhula: kaniyang iniwasiwas ang mga pana na paroo't parito, siya'y sumangguni sa mga diosdiosan, siya'y nagsiyasat sa atay.

[When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].

22 Nasa kanang kamay niya ang panghuhula sa Jerusalem, upang mag-umang ng mga pangsaksak, upang bukahin ang bibig sa pagpatay, upang itaas ang tinig sa paghiyaw, upang mag-umang ng mga pangsaksak laban sa mga pintuang-bayan, upang maglagay ng mga bunton upang magtayo ng mga katibayan.

With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.

23 At sa kanila ay magiging parang panghuhulang walang kabuluhan sa kanilang paningin, na nanumpa sa kanila; nguni't ipinaa-alaala niya sa kanilang kasamaan, upang sila'y mangahuli.

The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.

24 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Sapagka't inyong ipinaalaala ang inyong kasamaan, palibhasa'y ang inyong mga pagsalangsang ay nalitaw, na anopa't sa lahat ninyong gawa ay nagsilitaw ang inyong mga kasalanan; sapagka't dumating ang pagkaalaala sa inyo, kayo'y huhulihin ng kamay.

Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’

25 At ikaw, Oh masama na nasugatan ng ikamamatay, na prinsipe sa Israel, na ang kaarawan ay dumating, sa panahon ng parusang pinaka wakas;

Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’

26 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Ilapag mo ang tiara, at alisin mo ang putong; ito'y hindi na mangyayari pa uli; itaas mo ang mababa at ibaba mo ang mataas.

And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.

27 Aking ititiwarik, ititiwarik, ititiwarik: ito rin nama'y hindi na mangyayari uli, hanggang sa dumating yaong may matuwid na kaniya; at aking ibibigay sa kaniya.

[Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”

28 At ikaw, anak ng tao, manghula ka, at iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios tungkol sa mga anak ni Ammon, at tungkol sa kanilang kapulaan; at sabihin mo, Isang tabak, isang tabak ay binunot, na ukol sa pagpatay ay kuminang upang papanglipulin, upang maging parang kidlat;

“And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.

29 Samantalang sila'y nangakakakita sa iyo ng walang kabuluhan, samantalang sila'y nanganghuhula sa iyo ng mga kabulaanan, upang ipasan ka sa mga leeg ng masama na sinugatan ng ikamamatay, na ang kaarawan ay dumating, sa panahon ng parusang pinaka wakas.

[Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].

30 Isuksok mo iyan sa kaniyang kaloban. Sa dakong pinaglalangan sa iyo, sa lupain ng kapanganakan mo, hahatulan kita.

You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.

31 At aking ibubuhos ang aking galit sa iyo; aking hihipan ka sa pamamagitan ng apoy ng aking poot: at aking ibibigay ka sa kamay ng mga tampalasang tao na bihasang pumatay.

I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.

32 Ikaw ay magiging pinakapanggatong sa apoy; ang iyong dugo ay mabububo sa gitna ng lupain; ikaw ay hindi na maaalaala: sapagka't akong Panginoon ang nagsalita.

You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
