Ezekiel 33

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

And the word of the Lord came unto 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, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, If there be a land over which I bring the sword, and the people of the land take a man from among themselves, and appoint him unto themselves for a watchman;

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

And if he see the sword coming over the land, and blow the cornet, and warn the people;

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.

And whosoever heareth the sound of the cornet, and taketh no warning; and the sword cometh, and taketh him away: his blood shall be upon his own head.

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.

The sound of the cornet hath he heard, and he hath taken no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken warning he would have delivered his soul.

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 see the sword coming, and blow not the cornet, so that the people be not warned, and the sword cometh, and taketh away from among them some person: this one is taken away for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from the watchman's hand.

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.

But as for thee, O son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: so that when thou hearest a word from my mouth, thou shalt warn them from me.

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 unto the wicked, O wicked one, thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way: that wicked one shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from thy hand.

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.

Nevertheless, if thou hast indeed warned the wicked of his way to turn away from it, and he do not turn from his way: he shall certainly die for his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

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?

But thou, O son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus do ye speak, saying, Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them do we pine away: how then shall we live?

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 unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but in the return of the wicked from his way that he may live: return ye, return ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house 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.

But thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not stumble through it on the day that he returneth from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live through the other on the day that he sinneth.

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 of the righteous, that he shall surely live, and he trusteth to his own righteousness, and committeth what is wrong: all his righteous deeds shall not be remembered, and for his wrong that he hath committed, —through this shall he die.

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

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and he turneth from his sin, and executeth justice and righteousness;

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 wicked restore the pledge, make restitution for what he hath robbed, walk in the statutes of life, so as not to do any wrong: he shall surely live, he shall not die.

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.

All his sins that he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: justice and righteousness hath he executed, he shall surely live.

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.

Yet say the children of thy people, The way of the Lord is not equitable: while, as to them, their way is not equitable.

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

When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and doth what is wrong, he shall even die therefore.

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

And when the wicked returneth from his wickedness, and executeth justice and righteousness, he shall surely live therefore.

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.

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. Every one after his own ways will I judge you, O house of Israel.

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.

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month after our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem, saying, The city hath been smitten.

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 inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.

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

And the word of the Lord came unto 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, they that dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must [surely] be given to us for an inheritance.

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?

Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to possess the land?

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?

Ye depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and ye expect to possess the land?

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.

Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through the pestilence.

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 render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.

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.

And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

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 thou, son of man, [there are] the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth 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 then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.

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, lo, thou art unto them as a merry song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well: and [thus] they hear thy words, but execute them not.

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

But when it cometh to pass, [lo, it will come, ] then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
