Ezekiel 34

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, manghula ka laban sa mga pastor ng Israel, manghula ka, at iyong sabihin sa kanila, sa mga pastor, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa aba ng mga pastor ng Israel na pinakakain ang kanilang sarili! hindi baga dapat pakanin ng mga pastor ang mga tupa?

“Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?

3 Kayo'y nagsisikain ng gatas, at kayo'y nangananamit sa inyo ng lana, inyong pinapatay ang mga pinataba; nguni't hindi ninyo pinakakain ang mga tupa.

You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.

4 Hindi ninyo pinalakas ang payat, o inyo mang pinagaling ang may sakit, o inyo mang tinalian ang may bali, o inyo mang ibinalik ang iniligaw, o inyo mang hinanap ang nawala; kundi inyong pinagpunuang may karahasan at may kahigpitan.

What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.

5 At sila'y nangalat dahil sa walang pastor, at sila'y naging pagkain sa lahat ng hayop sa parang, at sila'y nangalat.

And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.

6 Ang aking mga tupa ay nagsisilaboy sa lahat ng bundok, at sa lahat na mataas na burol: oo, ang aking mga tupa ay nangalat sa buong ibabaw ng lupa; at walang magsiyasat o humanap sa kanila.

My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.

7 Kaya't kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:

Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:

8 Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, walang pagsala na dahil sa ang aking mga tupa ay naging samsam, at ang aking mga tupa ay naging pagkain sa lahat na hayop sa parang, sapagka't walang pastor, o hinanap man ng aking mga pastor ang aking mga tupa, kundi ang mga pastor ay nagsikain, at hindi pinakain ang aking mga tupa;

As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:

9 Kaya't, Oh kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:

because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:

10 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, ako'y laban sa mga pastor; at aking aalisin ang aking mga tupa sa kanilang kamay, at akin silang patitigilin ng pagpapakain ng mga tupa; at hindi na naman pakakanin ng mga pastor ang kanilang sarili; at aking ililigtas ang aking mga tupa sa kanilang bibig, upang huwag maging pagkain sa kanila.

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.

11 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, sisiyasat ng aking mga tupa, at aking hahanapin sila.

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.

12 Kung paanong hinanap ng pastor ang kaniyang kawan sa kaarawan na siya'y nasa gitna ng kaniyang mga tupa na nangangalat, gayon ko hahanapin ang aking mga tupa; at ililigtas ko sila sa lahat ng dako na kanilang pinangalatan sa maulap at madilim na araw.

Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.

13 At aking ilalabas sila sa mga bayan, at pipisanin ko sila mula sa mga lupain, at dadalhin ko sila sa kanilang sariling lupain; at pasasabsabin ko sila sa mga bundok ng Israel, sa tabi ng mga daan ng tubig, at sa lahat na tinatahanang dako sa lupain.

And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.

14 Aking pakakanin sila sa mabuting pastulan; at sa mga mataas na bundok ng kataasan ng Israel ay malalagay ang kanilang kulungan: doon mangahihiga sila sa mabuting kulungan; at sa matabang pastulan ay manginginain sila sa mga bundok ng Israel.

I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.

15 Ako ay magiging kanilang pastor ng aking mga tupa at aking pahihigain sila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.

16 Aking hahanapin ang nawala, at ibabalik ang iniligaw, at tatalian ang nabalian, at palalakasin ang may sakit: nguni't aking lilipulin ang mataba at malakas; aking pakakanin sila sa katuwiran.

I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.

17 At tungkol sa inyo, Oh aking kawan, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako'y humahatol sa gitna ng hayop at hayop, sa gitna ng mga lalaking tupa at mga kambing na lalake.

But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.

18 Inaakala baga ninyong munting bagay sa inyo na kumain sa mabuting pastulan, nguni't inyong marapat yapakan ng inyong mga paa ang nalabi sa inyong pastulan? at uminom sa malinaw na tubig, nguni't inyong marapat lampisawin ng inyong mga paa ang nalabi?

Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.

19 At tungkol sa aking mga tupa, kanilang kinakain ang inyong niyapakan ng inyong mga paa, at kanilang iniinom ang nilampisaw ng inyong mga paa.

And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.

20 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa kanila: Narito, ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, ay hahatol sa matabang tupa at sa payat na tupa.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.

21 Sapagka't inyong itinulak ng tagiliran at ng balikat, at inyong sinuwag ng inyong mga sungay ang lahat na may sakit, hanggang sa inyong napangalat sila;

For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.

22 Kaya't aking ililigtas ang aking kawan, at hindi na sila magiging samsam; at ako'y hahatol sa tupa at tupa.

I will save my flock, and it will no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23 At ako'y maglalagay ng isang pastor sa kanila, at kaniyang papastulin sila sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking lingkod na si David; kaniyang papastulin sila, at siya'y magiging kanilang pastor,

And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

24 At akong Panginoon ay magiging kanilang Dios, at ang aking lingkod na si David ay prinsipe sa kanila; akong Panginoon ang nagsalita.

And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 At ako'y makikipagtipan sa kanila ng tipan ng kapayapaan, at aking papawiin ang mga masamang hayop sa lupain; at sila'y magsisitahang tiwasay sa ilang, at mangatutulog sa mga gubat.

And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.

26 At aking gagawing mapapalad sila at ang mga dakong nangasa palibot ng aking burol; at aking palalagpakin ang ulan sa kapanahunan; magkakaroon ng ulan ng pagpapala.

And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.

27 At ang punong kahoy sa parang ay magbubunga, at ang lupa'y magsisibol ng halaman niya, at sila'y matitiwasay sa kanilang lupain; at kanilang malalaman na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking binali ang tali ng kanilang pamatok, at aking nailigtas sila sa kamay ng mga pinaglilingkuran nila.

And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.

28 At sila'y hindi na magiging pinakahuli sa mga bansa, o lalamunin man sila ng hayop sa lupa; kundi sila'y magsisitahang tiwasay, at walang tatakot sa kanila.

And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.

29 At aking pagkakalooban sila ng mga pananim na ikababantog, at sila'y hindi na mangalilipol pa ng kagutom sa lupain, o magtataglay pa man ng kahihiyan sa mga bansa.

And I will raise up for them a renowned branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.

30 At kanilang malalaman na akong Panginoon nilang Dios ay sumasa kanila, at sila na sangbahayan ni Israel ay aking bayan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

31 At kayong mga tupa ko, na mga tupa sa aking pastulan ay mga tao, at ako'y inyong Dios, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”
