Ezekiel 34
1 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,
The LORD’s word 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 against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
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 eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.
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.
You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
5 At sila'y nangalat dahil sa walang pastor, at sila'y naging pagkain sa lahat ng hayop sa parang, at sila'y nangalat.
They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
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 wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
7 Kaya't kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:
“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:
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, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,
9 Kaya't, Oh kayong mga pastor, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon:
therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”
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.
The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not 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 the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
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.
As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
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.
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
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 with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 Ako ay magiging kanilang pastor ng aking mga tupa at aking pahihigain sila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
I myself will be the shepherd of 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 that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.”’
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.
“As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male 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?
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue 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.
As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’
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.
“Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
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;
Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
22 Kaya't aking ililigtas ang aking kawan, at hindi na sila magiging samsam; at ako'y hahatol sa tupa at tupa.
therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
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,
I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He 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.
I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken it.
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.
“‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
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.
I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. 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.
The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of 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.
They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
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.
I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
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.
They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, 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.
You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord GOD.”
