< Ezekiel 20 >

1 And it happened that, in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, men from the elders of Israel arrived, so that they might inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.
Napasamak nga iti maikapito a tawen, iti maikasangapulo nga aldaw iti maikalima a bulan, immay dagiti panglakayen ti Israel tapno makiumanda kenni Yahweh ket nagtugawda iti sangoanak.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Have you arrived in order to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, says the Lord God.
“Anak ti tao, ipakaammom kadagiti panglakayen ti Israel a kunam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Immaykayo kadi tapno agsaludsod kaniak? Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios, saandak a mapagsaludsodan! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.'
4 If you judge them, if you judge, O son of man, reveal to them the abominations of their fathers.
Ukomem kadi ida? Mangukomka kadi anak ti tao? Ipakaammom kadakuada dagiti kinadakes dagiti ammada!
5 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and I lifted up my hand on behalf of the stock of the house of Jacob, and I appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and I lifted up my hand on their behalf, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God,’
Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Iti aldaw a pinilik ti Israel ket intayagko ti imak tapno agsapataak kadagiti kaputotan ti balay ni Jacob, ken impakaammok ti bagik kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto. Idi intayagko ti imak tapno agsapataak kadakuada, kinunak, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo”—
6 in that day, I lifted up my hand for their sake, so that I would lead them away from the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which was singular among all lands.
iti dayta nga aldaw ket intayagko ti imak tapno isapatak kadakuada nga iruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto ket ipanko ida iti daga a pinilik a nasayaat para kadakuada. Daga daytoy nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro; isu ti kapipintasan a daga kadagiti amin a daga!
7 And I said to them: ‘Let each one cast away the offenses of his eyes, and do not choose to defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’
Kinunak kadakuada, “Tunggal maysa ket ibellengna dagiti makarimon a banbanag a daydayawenna ken dagiti didiosen ti Egipto. Saanyo a rugitan dagiti bagbagiyo; Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.”
8 But they provoked me, and they were not willing to listen to me. Each one of them did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, nor did they leave behind the idols of Egypt. And so, I said that I would pour out my indignation upon them, and fulfill my wrath against them, in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ngem nagrebeldeda kaniak ket saanda kayat ti dumngeg kaniak. Saan nga imbelleng ti tunggal maysa dagiti makarimon a banbanag a daydayawenna wenno binaybay-an dagiti didiosen ti Egipto, isu nga inkeddengko nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada tapno mapnek ti ungetko kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto.
9 But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt.
Nagtignayak gapu iti naganko tapno saan a matulawan daytoy iti imatang dagiti nasion a pagnanaedanda. Impakaammok ti bagik kadakuada, iti imatangda, babaen iti panangiruarko kadakuada iti daga ti Egipto.
10 Therefore, I cast them out of the land of Egypt, and I led them away into the desert.
Isu nga inruarko ida iti daga ti Egipto ket impanko ida iti let-ang.
11 And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them.
Kalpasanna, intedko kadakuada dagiti alagadek ken impakaammok kadakuada dagiti lintegko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy.
12 Moreover, I also gave to them my Sabbaths, so that these would be a sign between me and them, and so that they would know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
Intedko met kadakuada ti Aldaw a Panaginana a kas pagilasinan iti nagbaetanmi, tapno maammoanda a Siak ni Yahweh a nangidaton kadakuada kaniak.
13 But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would consume them.
Ngem nagrebelde kaniak ti balay ti Israel idi addada iti let-ang. Saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek; ngem ketdi, linaksidda dagiti lintegko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy. Tinulawanda iti kasta unay ti Aldaw a Panaginana, isu a kinunak nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada iti let-ang tapno mapapatayda.
14 But I acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight.
Ngem nagtignayak gapu iti naganko tapno saan a matulawan daytoy iti imatang dagiti nasion a nakaimatang iti panangiruarko kadakuada iti Egipto.
15 And so I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, so as not to lead them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, the foremost of all lands.
Isu nga intag-ayko manen ti imak tapno isapatak kadakuada idiay let-ang a saanko ida nga ipan iti daga nga itedko kadakuada, daga nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro, nga isu ti kapipintasan a daga kadagiti amin a daga.
16 For they cast aside my judgments, and they did not walk in my precepts, and they violated my Sabbaths. For their heart went after idols.
Insapatak daytoy gapu ta linaksidda dagiti lintegko ken saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek, ken tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana, agsipud ta sinurot dagiti pusoda dagiti didiosenda.
17 Yet my eye was lenient concerning them, so that I did not utterly destroy them, nor did I consume them in the desert.
Ngem naasi dagiti matak kadakuada gapu iti pannakadadaelda, isu a saanko ida a pinukaw idiay let-ang.
18 Then I said to their sons in the wilderness: ‘Do not choose to advance by the precepts of your fathers, nor should you observe their judgments. And do not be defiled by their idols.
Kinunak kadagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai idiay let-ang, “Saankayo nga agtulnog kadagiti alagaden dagiti nagannakyo; saanyo a tungpalen dagiti lintegda wenno tulawan dagiti bagbagiyo babaen kadagiti didiosen.
19 I am the Lord your God. Walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them.
Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo! Agtulnogkayo kadagiti alagadek; tungpalenyo dagiti bilinko ken agtulnogkayo kadagitoy!
20 And sanctify my Sabbaths, so that these may be a sign between me and you, and so that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’
Ngilinenyo ti Aldaw a Panaginana tapno agbalinto daytoy a pagilasinan iti nagbaetantayo, tapno maammoanyo a Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo.”
21 But their sons provoked me. They did not walk in my precepts. And they did not observe my judgments, so as to do them; for if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they violated my Sabbaths. And so, I threatened that I would pour out my fury upon them, and that I would fulfill my wrath among them in the desert.
Ngem nagrebelde kaniak dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai. Saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti alagadek wenno tinungpal dagiti bilinko, a pagbiagan ti maysa a tao no agtulnog kadagitoy. Tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana, isu nga inkeddengko nga ibuyatko ti pungtotko kadakuada idiay let-ang.
22 But I turned aside my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, before their eyes.
Ngem inggawidko ti imak ket nagtignayak gapu iti naganko, tapno saan a matulawan iti imatang dagiti nasion a nakaimatang iti panangiruarko kadagiti Israelita idiay Egipto.
23 Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands.
Intag-ayko manen ti imak idiay let-ang, tapno isapatak kadakuada nga iwarasko ida kadagiti nasion ken iwarawarak ida kadagiti daga.
24 For they had not accomplished my judgments, and they had rejected my precepts, and they had violated my Sabbaths. And their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.
Inkeddengko nga aramidek daytoy agsipud ta saanda a nagtulnog kadagiti lintegko, ken agsipud ta linaksidda dagiti alagadek ken tinulawanda ti Aldaw a Panaginana. Tartarigagayan dagiti matada dagiti didiosen dagiti nagannakda.
25 Therefore, I also gave them precepts that were not good, and judgments by which they shall not live.
Kalpasanna, inikkak pay ida kadagiti saan a nasayaat nga alagaden, ken kadagiti linteg a saan a makaited iti biag.
26 And I defiled them by their own gifts, when they offered everything that opened the womb, because of their offenses. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
Pinagbalinko ida a narugit babaen kadagiti sagutda, idi pinuoranda ti tunggal inauna nga anak dagiti babbai. Inaramidko daytoy tapno pagbutngek ida tapno maammoanda a Siak ni Yahweh!'
27 For this reason, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God. Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, after they had spurned and despised me,
Ngarud, anak ti tao, ipakaammom daytoy iti balay ti Israel; ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ni Yahweh nga Apo: Tinabbaawandak dagiti nagannakyo babaen iti panangpanawda kaniak. Inaramidda daytoy iti kastoy a wagas:
28 though I had led them into the land, about which I lifted up my hand, so that I might give it to them: They saw every lofty hill and every leafy tree, and there they immolated their victims, and there they presented the provocation of their oblations, and there they stationed their sweet fragrances, and poured out their libations.
idi impanko ida iti daga nga insapatak nga itedko kadakuada, idi nakitada dagiti amin a nangangato a turod ken dagiti narukbos a kayo, ket sadiay ti nangidatonanda kadagiti sakripisioda ket pinagpungtotdak babaen iti panangidatonda sadiay. Sadiay met ti nangpuoranda kadagiti nabanglo nga insenso ken nangibukbokanda kadagiti datonda a mainum.
29 And I said to them, ‘What is exalted about the place to which you go?’ And yet its name is called ‘Exalted,’ even to this day.
Ket sinaludsodko kadakuada, “Ania aya daytoy a nangato a lugar a pangium-umayanyo kadagiti datonyo?” Isu a napanaganan iti Bamah ti bantay agingga ita nga aldaw.'
30 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Certainly, you are defiled by the way of your fathers, and you have fornicated after their stumbling blocks.
Ibagam ngarud iti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo: Apay aya a rugitanyo dagiti bagbagiyo babaen iti panangtuladyo kadagiti aramid dagiti nagannakyo? Ken apay aya nga agtigtignaykayo a kasla balangkantis, nga agbirbirok kadagiti makarimon a banbanag?
31 And you are being defiled by all of your idols, even to this day, by the oblation of your gifts, when you lead your sons through the fire. And should I respond to you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not answer you.
Ta idi indatonyo dagiti sagutyo ken pinuoranyo dagiti annakyo a lallaki, rinugitanyo dagiti bagbagiyo gapu kadagiti amin a didiosenyo agingga iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw. Isu a rumbeng kadi a mapagsaludsodandak, O balay ti Israel? Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—saandak a mapagsaludsodan!
32 And the plan of your mind will not occur, saying: ‘We will be like the Gentiles, and like the families of the earth, so that we worship what is wood and stone.’
Pumudnonto dagiti panpanunotenyo. Kunayo, “Agbalintayo a kasla kadagiti dadduma a nasion, a kasla kadagiti puli kadagiti dadduma a daga nga agdaydayaw iti kayo ken bato!”
33 As I live, says the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured forth.
Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—awan duadua nga iturayankayonto babaen iti nabileg nga imak ken nakaunnat a takkiagko, ken iti pungtotko a maibuyatto kadakayo!
34 And I will lead you away from the peoples. And I will gather you from the lands into which you were dispersed. I will reign over you with a powerful hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.
Iruarkayonto manipud kadagiti dadduma a tattao ken ummongenkayonto manipud kadagiti pagilian a nakaiwarawaraanyo. Aramidekto daytoy babaen iti nabileg nga imak ken iti pungtotko a maibuyat.
35 And I will lead you into the desert of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you, face to face.
Kalpasanna, ipankayonto iti let-ang dagiti tattao, ket sadiayto ti pangukomak kadakayo iti rupanrupa.
36 Just as I contended in judgment against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so also will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord God.
Kas iti panangukomko kadagiti ammayo idiay let-ang iti daga ti Egipto, kastanto met ti panangukomko kadakayo! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
37 And I will subject you to my scepter, and I will lead you into the bonds of the covenant.
Paglasatenkayonto iti baba ti sarukodko, ken isinggalutkayonto iti tulag;
38 And I will select, from among you, the transgressors and the impious. And I will lead them away from the land of their sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ikkatekto kadakayo dagiti nasukir ken dagiti mangsalsalungasing kaniak. Iruarkonto ida iti daga a pagnanaedanda a kas ganggannaet, ngem saandanto a sumrek iti daga ti Israel. Iti kasta, maammoanyonto a Siak ni Yahweh!
39 And as for you, house of Israel: thus says the Lord God: Walk, each one of you, after your idols and serve them. But if in this also you will not listen to me, and you continue to defile my holy name with your gifts and with your idols,
Isu a kenka, balay ti Israel, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Tunggal maysa kadakayo ket mapan kadagiti bukodna a didiosen. Agdayawkayo kadagitoy no saanyo kayat a dumngeg kaniak, ngem nasken a saanyon a tulawan ti nasantoan a naganko babaen kadagiti sagutyo ken kadagiti didiosenyo.
40 on my holy mountain, on the exalted mountain of Israel, says the Lord God, there all the house of Israel shall serve me; all of them, I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there I will require your first-fruits, and the foremost of your tithes, with all your sanctifications.
Ta iti nasantoan a bantayko, iti tapaw ti bantay ti Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—dayawendakto sadiay ti amin a balay ti Israel nga adda iti daga. Maragsakanakto a mangkiddaw kadagiti datonyo sadiay, ken kasta met kadagiti umuna a bunga ti sagutyo agraman dagiti amin a nasantoan a kukuayo.
41 I will receive from you a fragrance of sweetness, when I will have led you away from the peoples, and gathered you from the lands into which you were dispersed. And I will be sanctified in you before the eyes of the nations.
Awatenkayonto a kas iti nabanglo nga insenso inton iruarkayo manipud kadagiti tattao ken ummongenkayo manipud kadagiti pagilian a nakaiwarawaraanyo. Ipakitakto a nasantoanak kadakayo tapno makita dagiti nasion.
42 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have led you into the land of Israel, into the land about which I lifted up my hand, so that I would give it to your fathers.
Kalpasanna, inton ipankayo iti daga ti Israel, iti daga nga insapatak nga ited kadagiti nagannakyo, maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh.
43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your wickedness, by which you have been defiled. And you will be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, over all your evil deeds which you did.
Ket malagipyonto dagiti dakes a wagasyo ken ti amin nga aramidyo a namagbalin kadakayo a narugit, ket kagurayonto dagiti bagbagiyo iti bukodyo met laeng a panagkita gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inaramidyo.
44 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have acted well toward you for the sake of my name, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your very great wickedness, O house of Israel, says the Lord God.”
Maammoanyonto ngarud a siak ni Yahweh inton aramidek daytoy kadakayo gapu iti naganko, saan a gapu kadagiti dakes a wagasyo wenno kadagiti narugit nga aramidyo, O balay ti Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.'”
45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
46 “Son of man, set your face against the way of the south, and pour in drops toward Africa, and prophesy against the forest of the field of the meridian.
“Anak ti tao, sumangoka kadagiti akin-abagatan a daga, ket agsaoka maibusor iti abagatan; agipadtoka maibusor iti kabakiran ti Negeb.
47 And you shall say to the meridian forest: Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and I will burn up within you every green tree and every dry tree. The flame of the kindling will not be extinguished. And every face will be burned up within it, from the south, even to the north.
Ibagam iti kabakiran ti Negeb, 'Denggem ti pakaammo ni Yahweh! Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Kitaem, mangpasgedakto iti apuy kenka. Uramento daytoy ti amin a nalangto a kayo ken ti amin a nagango a kayo nga adda kadakayo. Saanto a maiddep ti sumsumged nga apuy; mapuoranto ti tunggal rupa manipud iti abagatan agingga iti amianan.
48 And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it, and that it will not be extinguished.”
Ket makitanto ti amin a lasag a siak ni Yahweh inton pasgedak ti apuy, ken saanto a maiddep daytoy.'”
49 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! They are saying about me: ‘Does this man not speak except through parables?’”
Ket kinunak, “O Apo a Yahweh, kunkunada kaniak, 'Saan aya a mannanao laeng isuna kadagiti pangngarig?'”
