Ezekiel 33

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

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Anak ng tao, salitain mo sa mga anak ng iyong bayan, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Pagka aking dinala ang tabak sa lupain, kung ang bayan ng lupain ay kumuha ng isang lalake sa gitna nila, at ilagay na pinakabantay nila;

Son of man, give a word to the children of your people, and say to them, When I make the sword come on a land, if the people of the land take a man from among their number and make him their watchman:

3 Kung, pagkakita niya ng tabak na dumarating sa lupain, kaniyang hipan ang pakakak, at magbigay alam sa bayan;

If, when he sees the sword coming on the land, by sounding the horn he gives the people news of their danger;

4 Sinoman ngang makarinig ng tunog ng pakakak, at hindi pinansin kung ang tabak ay dumating at dalhin siya, ang kaniyang dugo ay mapapasa kaniyang sariling ulo.

Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.

5 Narinig niya ang tunog ng pakakak, at hindi pinansin; ang kaniyang dugo ay sasa kaniya; sapagka't kung siya'y pumansin ay kaniyang nailigtas sana ang kaniyang buhay.

On hearing the sound of the horn, he did not take note; his blood will be on him; for if he had taken note his life would have been safe.

6 Nguni't kung makita ng bantay na dumarating ang tabak, at hindi humihip ng pakakak, at ang bayan ay hindi napagbigyang alam, at ang tabak ay dumating, at maghiwalay ng sinoman mula sa gitna nila; siya'y nahiwalay sa kaniyang kasamaan, nguni't ang kaniyang dugo ay sisiyasatin ko sa kamay ng bantay.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.

7 Sa gayo'y ikaw, anak ng tao, ay inilagay ko na bantay sa sangbahayan ni Israel; kaya't dinggin mo ang salita sa aking bibig, at magbigay alam ka sa kanila sa ganang akin.

So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel; and you are to give ear to the word of my mouth and give them news from me of their danger.

8 Pagka aking sinabi sa masama, Oh masamang tao, ikaw ay walang pagsalang mamamatay, at ikaw ay hindi nagsasalita upang magbigay alam sa masama ng kaniyang lakad: ang masamang yaon ay mamamatay sa kaniyang kasamaan, nguni't ang kaniyang dugo ay sisiyasatin ko sa iyong kamay.

When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly overtake you; and you say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way; death will overtake that evil man in his evil-doing, but I will make you responsible for his blood.

9 Gayon ma'y kung iyong bigyang alam ang masama ng kaniyang lakad upang humiwalay, at hindi niya hiniwalayan ang kaniyang lakad; mamamatay siya sa kaniyang kasamaan, nguni't iniligtas mo ang iyong kaluluwa.

But if you make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way for the purpose of turning him from it, and he is not turned from his way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, but your life will be safe.

10 At ikaw, anak ng tao, sabihin mo sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang inyong sinasalita, na sinasabi, Ang aming pagsalangsang, at ang aming mga kasalanan ay nangasa amin, at aming pinanglulupaypayan; paano ngang kami ay mangabubuhay?

And you, son of man, say to the children of Israel, You say, Our wrongdoing and our sins are on us and we are wasting away in them; how then may we have life?

11 Sabihin mo sa kanila, Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, wala akong kasayahan sa kamatayan ng masama; kundi ang masama ay humiwalay sa kaniyang lakad at mabuhay: manumbalik kayo, manumbalik kayo na mula sa inyong masasamang lakad; sapagka't bakit kayo mangamamatay, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel?

Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?

12 At ikaw, anak ng tao, sabihin mo sa mga anak ng iyong bayan, Ang katuwiran ng matuwid ay hindi makapagliligtas sa kaniya sa kaarawan ng kaniyang pagsalangsang; at tungkol sa kasamaan ng masama, hindi niya kabubuwalan sa araw na kaniyang hiwalayan ang kaniyang kasamaan; ni ikabubuhay man ng matuwid ang kaniyang katuwiran sa araw na siya'y magkasala.

And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

13 Pagka aking sasabihin sa matuwid na siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay; kung siya'y tumiwala sa kaniyang katuwiran, at gumawa ng kasamaan, anoman sa kaniyang mga matuwid na gawa ay hindi aalalahanin; kundi sa kaniyang kasamaan na kaniyang nagawa doon siya mamamatay.

When I say to the upright that life will certainly be his; if he puts his faith in his righteousness and does evil, not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory; but in the evil he has done, death will overtake him.

14 Muli, pagka aking sinabi sa masama, Ikaw ay walang pagsalang mamamatay; kung kaniyang iwan ang kaniyang kasalanan, at gawin ang tapat at matuwid;

And when I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; if he is turned from his sin and does what is ordered and right;

15 Kung isauli ng masama ang sanla, ibigay uli ang kinuha sa pagnanakaw, lumakad sa palatuntunan ng buhay, na di gumawa ng kasamaan, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, siya'y hindi mamamatay.

If the evil-doer lets one who is in his debt have back what is his, and gives back what he had taken by force, and is guided by the rules of life, doing no evil; life will certainly be his, death will not overtake him.

16 Wala sa kaniyang mga kasalanan na kaniyang nagawa na aalalahanin laban sa kaniya; kaniyang ginawa ang tapat at matuwid; siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay.

Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in mind against him: he has done what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his.

17 Gayon ma'y sinabi ng mga anak ng iyong bayan, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid: nguni't tungkol sa kanila, ay hindi matuwid ang kanilang lakad.

But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal.

18 Pagka iniwan ng matuwid ang kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, kaniyang ikamamatay yaon.

When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him in it.

19 At kung hiwalayan ng masama ang kaniyang kasamaan, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, kaniyang ikabubuhay yaon.

And when the evil man, turning away from his evil-doing, does what is ordered and right, he will get life by it.

20 Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid. Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, aking hahatulan kayo bawa't isa, ayon sa kaniyang mga lakad.

And still you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, I will be your judge, giving to everyone the reward of his ways.

21 At nangyari, nang ikalabing dalawang taon ng ating pagkabihag, nang ikasangpung buwan; nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, na isa na nakatanan mula sa Jerusalem ay naparoon sa akin, na nagsasabi, Ang bayan ay nasaktan.

Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.

22 Ang kamay nga ng Panginoon ay sumaakin nang kinahapunan, bago dumating ang nakatanan; at ibinuka niya ang aking bibig, hanggang sa siya'y dumating sa akin nang kinaumagahan; at ang aking bibig ay nabuka at hindi na ako pipi.

Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening, before the man who had got away came to me; and he made my mouth open, ready for his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice.

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

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24 Anak ng tao, ang nagsisitahan sa mga gibang dakong yaon ng lupain ng Israel, ay nangagsasalita, na sinasabi, Si Abraham ay iisa, at kaniyang minana ang lupain: nguni't tayo'y marami; ang lupain ay ibinigay sa ating pinakamana.

Son of man, those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say, Abraham was but one, and he had land for his heritage: but we are a great number; the land is given to us for our heritage.

25 Kaya't sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Kayo'y nagsisikain ng may dugo, at itinataas ninyo ang inyong mga mata sa inyong mga diosdiosan, at nagbububo ng dugo: at inyo bagang aariin ang lupain?

For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: You take your meat with the blood, your eyes are lifted up to your images, and you are takers of life: are you to have the land for your heritage?

26 Kayo'y nagsisitayo sa inyong tabak, kayo'y nagsisigawa ng kasuklamsuklam, at nanirang puri bawa't isa sa inyo ng asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa: at inyo bagang aariin ang lupain?

You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?

27 Sabihin mong ganito sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Buhay ako, walang pagsalang silang nangasa mga ibang dako ay mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak, at siyang nasa luwal na parang ay ibibigay ko sa mga hayop upang lamunin, at silang nangasa mga katibayan at sa mga yungib ay mangamamatay sa salot.

This is what you are to say to them: The Lord has said, By my life, truly, those who are in the waste places will be put to the sword, and him who is in the open field I will give to the beasts for their food, and those who are in the strong places and in holes in the rocks will come to their death by disease.

28 At aking gagawing sira ang lupain at katigilan; at ang kahambugan ng kaniyang lakas ay maglilikat; at ang mga bundok ng Israel ay mangasisira, na walang dadaan.

And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.

29 Kung magkagayo'y malalaman nila na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking ginawang sira at katigilan ang lupain, dahil sa lahat nilang kasuklamsuklam na kanilang nagawa.

Then they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder, because of all the disgusting things which they have done,

30 At tungkol sa iyo, anak ng tao, pinagsasalitaanan ka pa ng mga anak ng iyong bayan sa siping ng mga pader at sa mga pintuan ng mga bahay, at nangagsasalitaan na bawa't isa'y sa kaniyang kapatid, na sinasabi, Pumarito ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at dinggin mo kung ano ang salita na nanggagaling sa Panginoon.

And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.

31 At dumating sa iyo na wari ang bayan ay dumarating, at sila'y nagsisiupo sa harap mo na gaya ng aking bayan, at kanilang dinidinig ang iyong mga salita, nguni't hindi nila ginagawa; sapagka't sila'y nangagsasalita ng malaking pagibig ng kanilang bibig, nguni't ang kanilang puso ay nasa kanilang pakinabang.

And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

32 At, narito, ikaw ay parang masayang awit sa kanila na may maligayang tinig, at nakatutugtog na mabuti sa panugtog; sapagka't kanilang naririnig ang iyong mga salita, nguni't hindi nila ginagawa.

And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument: for they give ear to your words but do them not.

33 At pagka ito'y nangyari, (narito, nangyayari, ) kanila ngang malalaman na isang propeta ay napasa gitna nila.

And when this comes about (see, it is coming), then it will be clear to them that a prophet has been among them.
