< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].
“Ket sika, anak ti tao, mangalaka iti natadem a kampilan a kas iti labaha ti barbero para iti bagim. Ipadalanmo ti labaha iti ulom ken iti barbasmo, ket mangalaka iti timbangan a pangtimbangam ken bingaybingayem ti buokmo.
2 When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.
Puoram ti kakatlo daytoy iti tengnga ti siudad inton malpas dagiti aldaw ti pannakalakub. Ket alaem ti maysa a kakatlo ti buok ket putdem daytoy babaen iti kampilan iti aglawlaw ti siudad. Ket iwarawaram iti angin ti maysa pay a kakatlo daytoy, ket asutekto ti kampilan a mangkamat kadagiti tattao.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Ngem mangalaka iti sangkabassit a buok manipud kadagitoy ket igalutmo kadagiti manggas ti kawesmo.
4 Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout Israel.
Kalpasanna, mangalaka pay iti buok ket ipurruakmo iti tengnga ti apuy; puoram daytoy; manipud sadiay ket agkayamkamto ti apuy iti entero a balay ti Israel.”
5 This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Daytoy ti Jerusalem, iti tengnga dagiti nasion a nangisaadak iti daytoy ken pinalawlawak daytoy kadagiti dadduma a pagilian.
6 But the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’
Ngem linaksidna dagiti bilinko gapu iti kinadangkes a nalablabes pay ngem kadagiti nasion, kasta met a linaksidna dagiti paglintegak a nalablabes pay ngem kadagiti pagilian iti aglawlawna. Ket linaksidna dagiti pangngeddengko ken saanda a tinungpal dagiti paglintegak!”
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’
Kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Gapu ta napalalo ti kinamanagbasolmo ngem kadagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo ken saanka a nagtungpal kadagiti paglintegak kasta met saanka a nagtignay segun kadagiti bilinko, ken saanka a nagtignay segun kadagiti bilin dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo.”
8 Therefore, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.
Kastoy ngarud ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Dumngegka!” Siak a mismo ti mangdusa kenka! Dusaenkanto tapno makita dagiti nasion.
9 Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
Gapu kadagiti makarimon nga aramidmo, aramidekto kenka ti saanko pay nga inaramid ken saankonto manen nga aramiden.
10 As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’
Ngarud kanento dagiti amma dagiti annakda iti nagtetengngaanyo ken kanen met dagiti annak a lallaki dagiti ammada, agsipud ta dusaenkayonto, ket maiwarawarakayo kadagiti amin a suli ti daga, dakayo amin a nabati!
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].
Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo. Ngarud, isapatak a mapasamakto daytoy gapu ta tinulawam ti santuariok gapu kadagiti amin a didiosem a makaparurod ken dagiti makarimon nga aramidmo, ta siak a mismo ti mangkissay iti bilang dagiti tattaom; saanakto a maasian kenka, ket saankanto nga ispalen.
12 One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.
Matayto ti kakatlo kadakayo babaen iti didigra, ken maibusdanto gapu iti nakaro a panagbisin. Matayto ti kakatlo kadakayo babaen iti kampilan a nangpalikawkaw kadakayo. Ket iwarawarakto ti kakatlo kadakayo kadagiti amin a suli ti daga, ken asutekto ti kampilan a mangkamat kadakuada.
13 Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].
Ket maan-anayton ti pungtotko, ken paginanaekton ti pungtotko kadakuada. Mapnekakto, ket maammoandanto a Siak a ni Yahweh ket nagsaoak gapu iti pungtotko idi naan-anaykon ti pungtotko kadakuada.
14 I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.
Pagbalinenkanto a langalang ken laisendakanto dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo, iti imatang ti amin a lumabas.
15 They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Isu nga umsien ken laisento dagiti dadduma a tattao ti Jerusalem, agbalinto a ballaag ken pagbutngan dagiti nasion iti aglawlawmo. Ipatungapalkonto ti panangukom maibusor kenka gapu iti kasta unay a pungtotko, a buyogan iti nalabes a panangtubngar—Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!
16 When I cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.
Ipaturongkonto kenka dagiti natatadem a pana iti nakaro a panagbisin nga isunto ti pakatayam. Ta pakaroekto ti panagbisin ken tukkolekto ti sarukod ti tinapaymo.
17 I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Iyegkonto kenka ti panagbisin ken dagiti didigra tapno saankanto nga aganak. Didigra ken pannakatay ti lumabasto kenka, ket iyegkonto ti kampilan maibusor kenka—Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”
