Ezekiel 17

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

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

2 “You human, tell this story/parable [DOU] to the people [MTY] of Israel.

Anak ng tao, magbugtong ka, at magsalita ka ng talinhaga sa sangbahayan ni Israel;

3 [Say to them, ] ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: A huge eagle that had strong wings and long beautiful feathers of many colors flew to Lebanon. It grasped the top of a cedar [tree]

At iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Isang malaking aguila na may mga malaki at mahabang pakpak na puno ng mga balahibo, na may sarisaring kulay, naparoon sa Libano, at kinuha ang dulo ng cedro:

4 and broke it off. Then the eagle carried it away to [Babylonia], a country that had many merchants/businessmen, and planted it in one of the cities there.

Kaniyang binali ang pinakamataas na sariwang mga sanga niyaon, at dinala sa isang lupain na kalakalan; inilagay niya sa isang bayan ng mga mangangalakal.

5 Then that eagle took a seedling from [your] country and planted it in a fertile field. He planted it like people plant a willow tree, alongside [a stream that had] plenty of water.

Kumuha rin siya sa binhi ng lupain, at itinanim sa isang mainam na lupa; itinanim niya sa tabi ng maraming tubig; kaniyang itinanim na parang puno ng kahoy na sauce.

6 It grew and became a low grapevine that spread [along the ground]. Its branches turned up towards the eagle, but its roots grew down into the ground. So it became a [good] vine and produced [lots of] branches and leaves.

At tumubo, at naging mayabong, na puno ng baging na mababa, na ang mga sanga ay patungo sa dako niya, at ang mga ugat niyao'y nasa ilalim niya; sa gayo'y naging isang puno ng baging, at nagsanga, at nagsupling.

7 But there was another huge eagle that had strong wings and beautiful feathers. And [some of] the roots of the vine grew toward that eagle, and its branches [also] turned toward it, hoping that the eagle would bring more water to it.

May iba namang malaking aguila na may mga malaking pakpak at maraming balahibo: at, narito, ang puno ng baging na ito ay pumihit ang mga ugat niyaon, sa dako niya, at isinupling ang kaniyang mga sanga sa dako niya mula sa mga pitak na kinatatamanan, upang kaniyang madilig.

8 [That happened in spite of the fact that] the vine had [already] been planted in good soil, where there was plenty of water, with the result that it had produced branches and produced grapes and had become a very healthy/productive vine.’

Natanim sa isang mabuting lupa sa siping ng maraming tubig, upang makapagsanga, at makapagbunga, upang maging mabuting puno ng baging.

9 Then [after you have told that to the people, say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: That vine] will certainly not [RHQ] remain healthy/productive. It will be [RHQ] pulled up by its roots by the eagle [that planted it], and all its fruit will be stripped off and its leaves will wither. And it will not need someone with strong arms or many people to pull it out by its roots.

Sabihin mo, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Giginhawa baga yaon? hindi baga niya bubunutin ang mga ugat niyaon, at kikitlin ang bunga niyaon, upang matuyo; upang ang lahat na sariwang ladlad na mga dahon niyaon ay mangatuyo? at hindi sa pamamagitan ng malakas na bisig o maraming tao ay ito'y mabubunot sa mga ugat.

10 Even if that vine is transplanted, it certainly will not continue to grow [RHQ]. When the hot wind from the east blows against it, it will completely wither, there where it was planted! [RHQ]’”

Oo, narito, yamang natanim ay giginhawa baga? hindi baga lubos na matutuyo pagka nahipan siya ng hanging silanganan? matutuyo sa mga pitak na tinubuan niya.

11 Then Yahweh gave this message to me:

Bukod dito'y ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi:

12 “Ask these rebellious [Israeli] people, ‘Do you know what this parable/story means?’ Tell them that it signifies that the King of Babylon went to Jerusalem [with his army] and captured the King of Judah and his officials, and took them back to Babylon.

Sabihin mo nga sa mapanghimagsik na sangbahayan, Hindi baga ninyo nalalaman ang kahulugan ng mga bagay na ito? saysayin mo sa kanila, Narito, ang hari sa Babilonia ay dumating sa Jerusalem, at kinuha ang hari niyaon, at ang mga prinsipe niyaon, at dinala niya sa Babilonia.

13 Then he took one of the king’s close relatives [and appointed him to be the king], and made an agreement with him, forcing him to solemnly promise [to remain loyal]. The King of Babylon also took to Babylon the other important citizens of Judah,

At siya'y kumuha sa lahing hari, at nakipagtipan siya sa kaniya: isinailalim din niya siya sa panunumpa, at dinala ang mga dakila sa lupain;

14 in order that the kingdom of Judah would not be able to become powerful again. The King of Babylon intended that the kingdom [of Judah] would not continue to exist if the people did not obey that agreement [that he made with the King of Babylon].

Upang ang kaharian ay mababa, upang huwag makataas, kundi sa pagiingat ng kaniyang tipan ay mapatayo.

15 But the King of Judah rebelled against the King of Babylon by sending officials to Egypt to request from them horses and a large army [to fight against the army of Babylonia]. But the King of Judah will certainly not [RHQ] be sucessful. Rulers who [rebel like that and] and refuse to obey solemn agreements will never [RHQ] escape.

Nguni't siya'y nanghimagsik laban sa kaniya sa pagpapadala ng kaniyang mga sugo sa Egipto, upang mabigyan nila siya ng mga kabayo at maraming tao. Giginhawa baga siya? makatatanan baga siya na gumagawa ng ganyang mga bagay? makatatahan kaya siya na sumira ng tipan?

16 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that [as surely] as I am alive, the King of Judah will die in Babylon, in the city where the King of Babylon appointed him to be the King [MTY] [of Judah]. He will die because he despised the solemn agreement and refused to do what he promised to do.

Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, tunay na sa dakong tinatahanan ng hari na pinaggawaan sa kaniyang hari, na ang sumpa ay hinamak niya, at ang tipan ay sinira niya, siya nga'y mamamatay sa gitna ng Babilonia na kasama niya.

17 The King of Egypt with all his very huge army [DOU] will not [be able to] help the King of Judah: [The soldiers from Babylonia] will build ramps up against the walls of Jerusalem and set up devices to batter the walls. They will [enter Jerusalem and] kill many of its people.

Kahit si Faraon man sangpu ng kaniyang makapangyarihang hukbo at malaking pulutong sa pakikidigma ay walang magagawa, pagka sila'y mangagtitindig ng mga bunton; at mangagtatayo ng mga katibayan, upang pumatay ng maraming mga tao.

18 The King of Judah despised the solemn agreement by disregarding the treaty. Although he had solemnly promised to be under the control of the King of Babylon, [he sent officials to request help from Egypt]. Therefore he will not escape being punished [by the King of Babylon].

Sapagka't kaniyang hinamak ang sumpa sa pagsira ng tipan; at narito, naiabot na niya ang kaniyang kamay, at gayon ma'y ginawa ang lahat na bagay na ito; siya'y hindi makatatanan.

19 Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Just as surely as I am alive, I will cause the King of Judah to be punished [IDM] for ignoring the solemn agreement that he made [with the King of Babylon] and then refusing to obey it.

Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Buhay ako, walang pagsalang ang panunumpa sa akin na kaniyang hinamak, at ang tipan sa akin na kaniyang sinira, aking pararatingin sa kaniyang sariling ulo.

20 [It will be as though] I will spread a net to capture him, and he will be caught in it. He will [be captured and] taken to Babylon and punished because he rebelled against me.

At aking ilalagay ang aking panilo sa kaniya, at siya'y mahuhuli sa aking silo, at dadalhin ko siya sa Babilonia, at siya'y aking hahatulan doon dahil sa kaniyang pagsalangsang na kaniyang isinalangsang laban sa akin.

21 Most [HYP] of his soldiers who try to escape will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who survive will be scattered in all directions. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”

At ang lahat niyang mga tanan sa lahat niyang pulutong ay mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak, at ang nalabi ay mangangalat sa bawa't dako: at inyong malalaman na akong Panginoon ang nagsalita niyaon.

22 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[It will be as though] I will take a shoot from the top of a very tall cedar [tree] and plant it [DOU] in another place. I will plant it on a very high [DOU] mountain.

Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Kukuha naman ako sa dulo ng mataas na cedro, at aking itatanim; sa pinakamataas ng kaniyang sariwang sanga ay puputol ako ng supling, at aking itatanim sa isang mataas na bundok at matayog:

23 [It will be as though] I will plant it on a mountain in Israel, and it will grow and become a beautiful cedar [tree]. Many [HYP] kinds of birds will make their nests in the tree, and they will have shade in its branches.

Sa bundok na kaitaasan ng Israel ay aking itatanim: at magsasanga at magbubunga, at magiging mainam na cedro: at sa lilim niyao'y tatahan ang lahat na ibon na ma'y iba't ibang uri; sa lilim ng mga sanga niyaon magsisitahan sila.

24 And [it will be as though] all the trees in the field will know that I, Yahweh, get rid of tall trees and make little ones grow. I cause [big] green trees to wither, and I cause dry trees to become green. I, Yahweh have said this, and I will [certainly] do what I have said that I will do.”

At ang lahat na punong kahoy sa parang ay makakaalam na akong Panginoon ang nagbaba sa mataas na punong kahoy, nagtaas sa mababang punong kahoy, tumuyo sa sariwang punong kahoy, at nagpanariwa sa tuyong punong kahoy: akong Panginoon ang nagsalita at gumawa niyaon.
