< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
2 “You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
“Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, mangikeddengkanto kadi? Kedngamto kadi ti siudad ti dara? Ipakaammon kenkuana dagiti amin a makarimon nga inar-aramidna.
3 [Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
Masapul nga ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Daytoy a siudad ket nangpasayasay iti dara iti tengngana isu a dimtengen ti tiempona; maysa a siudad a nangaramid kadagiti didiosen tapno tulawanna ti bagina!
4 You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
Nakabasolka gapu iti dara a pinasayasaymo, ken nagbalinka a narugit babaen kadagiti didiosen nga inaramidmo! Ta pinaasidegmon dagiti aldawmo ket dimtengen dagiti maudi a tawenmo. Isu a pagbalinenkanto a pagkakatawaan dagiti dadduma a nasion ken malalais iti imatang ti tunggal daga.
5 People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
Agpadanto a laisendaka dagiti adda iti asidegmo ken dagiti adda iti adayom, sika a natulawan a siudad, nga agdindinamag iti sadinnoman gapu ta napnoan iti riribuk!’
6 Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
Kitaem, immay kenka dagiti mangiturturay iti Israel, tunggal maysa babaen iti bukodna a bileg tapno agpasayasay iti dara!
7 Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
Saanda a rinaem dagiti amma ken inna nga adda kenka, ken indadanesda dagiti ganggannaet nga adda kenka. Ginundawayanda dagiti ulila ken dagiti balo nga adda kenka.
8 You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
Inuyawmo dagiti nasantoan a banbanag a kukuak ken saanmo a nginilin ti Aldaw a Panaginana!
9 Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
Immay kenka dagiti lallaki a managpardaya tapno agpasayasay iti dara, ket nanganda iti ayan dagiti banbantay. Nangaramidda kadagiti kinadangkes iti katengngaam!
10 There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
Makitkita kenka ti kinalamo-lamo ti maysa nga ama. Ginundawayanda ti natulawan a babai nga adda kenka kabayatan iti panagbinulanna.
11 There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
Lallaki a makikamkamalala kadagiti assawa ti kaarrubana, ken lallaki a mangtulaw kadagiti bukodda a manugang a babbai; lallaki a manggunggundaway kadagiti bukodda a kabsat a babbai, babbai a putot a mismo dagiti bukodda nga ama—amin dagitoy ket adda kenka.
12 There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
Nangpasuksok dagitoy a lallaki kadayo tapno agpasayasay iti dara. Pinaanakam iti dakkel ti pautangmo, dinadaelmo dagiti kaarrubam babaen iti panangidadanesmo kadakuada, ken linipatnak—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.
13 So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
Isu a kitaem! Babaen iti imak, tippayek dagiti nagun-odmo babaen iti panagul-ulbodmo, ken ti panangpasayasay iti dara nga adda iti tengngam.
14 When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
Nakiredto pay kadi ti pusom, napigsanto pay kadi dagiti imam kadagiti aldaw inton Siak a mismo ti mangdusanto kenka? Siak a ni Yahweh, ipakpakaammok daytoy, ket aramidekto daytoy.
15 I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
Isu nga iwarawarakanto kadagiti nasion ken iwaraskanto iti entero a daga. Iti kastoy a wagas ti panangdaluskonto iti kinarugitmo.
16 When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Isu nga agbalinkanto a narugit iti imatang dagiti nasion. Ket maammoamto a Siak ni Yahweh!”
17 Yahweh [also] said to me,
Adda pay sao ni Yahweh nga immay kaniak a kunana,
18 “You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
“Anak ti tao, ti balay ti Israel ket nagbalinen a kasla rugit iti imatangko. Aminda ket kasla da la natda a bronse, lata, landok ken buli iti tengngam. Agbalindanto a kasla rugit ti pirak iti urnom.
19 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, ‘Gapu ta aminkayo ket nagbalinen a kasla rugit, ngarud dumngegkayo! Ummongenkayonto iti tengnga ti Jerusalem.
20 People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
Runawenkayonto a kasla naurnong a pirak, bronse, landok, buli ken lata iti tengnga ti urno a rumbeng a puyotan iti apuy. Isu nga ummungenkayonto gapu iti nakaro a pungtot ken ungetko. Ikabilkayonto sadiay ket puyotak ti apuy daytoy tapno marunawkayo; isu nga ummungenkayonto gapu iti unget ken iti pungtotko, ket ikabilkayonto sadiay ket ibukbokkayo.
21 [It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
Isu nga ummongenkayonto ket ipuyotko kadakayo ti apuy ti pungtotko tapno marunawkayo iti tengngana.
22 as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
Kas iti pannakarunaw ti pirak iti tengnga ti maysa nga urno, marunawkanto met iti tengngana, ket maammoamto a Siak a ni Yahweh, ket indissuorko ti nakaro a pungtotko kenka!”’
23 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
24 “You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
“Anak ti tao, ibagam kenkuana, “Sika ket daga a saan a nadalusan. Awanto ti tudo iti aldaw ti nakaro a pungtot!
25 Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
Nalimed a nagtutulag dagiti profetana iti tengngana, a kaslada agngerngernger a leon a mangrangrangkay iti biktimana; patpatayenda dagiti tattao ken alaenda dagiti agkakapateg a kinabaknangda! Adu ti pinagbalinda a balo iti tengngana!
26 Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
Linabsing dagiti papadina ti lintegko, ken tinulawanda dagiti nasantoan a banbanag a kukuak. Saanda a mailasin ti nagdumaan dagiti nasantoan a banbanag kadagiti makarimon a banbanag, ken saanda nga isuro ti nagdumaan ti saan a nadalus ken ti nadalus. Saanda a ngilinen ti Aldaw iti Panaginana isu a natulawanak iti nagtengngaanda!
27 Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
Dagiti prinsipena ket kaslada lobo a mangrangrangkay kadagiti biktimada. Agpasayasayda iti dara ken agdaddadaelda iti biag, tapno agpabaknangda babaen iti panagulbodda.
28 Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
Ket arigna a pininturan ida dagiti profetana iti puraw; inuulbod dagiti makitada a sirmata ken agipadtoda iti inuulbod kadakuada. Ibagada “Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh” idinto ta saan a sinao ni Yahweh!
29 The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
Nangidadanes dagiti tattao iti daga babaen iti panagkikil ken nagsamsamda babaen iti panagtakaw, ken ginundawayanda dagiti nakurapay ken agkasapulan, ken indadanesda nga awanan iti hustisia dagiti ganggannaet.
30 I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
Isu a nangbirukak iti maysa a tao manipud kadakuada a mabalin a mangbangon iti pader ken mangipatakder iti nadadael a paset ti pader iti sangoanak a mangisakit iti daga tapno saanko a dadaelen daytoy, ngem awan nabirukak nga uray maysa.
31 So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
Isu nga idissuorko kadakuada ti nakaro a pungtotko! Gibusak ida babaen iti apuy ti pungtotko ket isublik kadagiti mismo nga uloda dagiti dakes a wagasda—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.”’
