Ezekiel 33
1 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
Yahweh’s word 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, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for 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 come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns 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.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on 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.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the 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 sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at 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.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings 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 tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your 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 you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your 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?
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can 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?
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, 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.
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
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 tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
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 to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful 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 wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will 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.
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will 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 the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 Pagka iniwan ng matuwid ang kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, kaniyang ikamamatay yaon.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 At kung hiwalayan ng masama ang kaniyang kasamaan, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, kaniyang ikabubuhay yaon.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live 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.
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after 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.
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
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 Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
Yahweh’s word 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 inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for 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 tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you 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?
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you 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.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of 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.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass 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 know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment 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.
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’
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.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
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.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
33 At pagka ito'y nangyari, (narito, nangyayari, ) kanila ngang malalaman na isang propeta ay napasa gitna nila.
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
