Ezekiel 14

1 Adda sumagmamano kadagiti panglakayen ti Israel nga immay kaniak ket nagtugawda iti sangoanak.

Then came there unto me certain men of the elders of Israel, and sat down before me.

2 Kalpasanna, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak, a kunana,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

3 “Anak ti tao, impapuso dagitoy a lallaki ti panagdayawda kadagiti didiosenda ken nangikabilda iti sangoananda iti pakaitibkulanda a makagapu iti panagbasolda. Rumbeng kadi pay la a pagdamagandak?

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity have they placed before their faces: shall I in any wise let myself be inquired of by them?

4 Isu nga ipakaammom ken ibagam daytoy kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Tunggal tao iti balay ti Israel a mangipapuso nga agdayaw kadagiti didiosenna wenno dagiti nangikabil iti sangoananda iti pakaitibkulanda a pakaigapuan ti panagbasolda, ket kalpasanna, umasideg iti maysa a profeta—Siak a ni Yahweh, sungbatakto isuna sigun iti bilang dagiti didiosenna.

Therefore speak with them and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whatever man it be of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet: I the Lord will answer him, although he cometh with the multitude of his idols;

5 Aramidekto daytoy tapno masublik manen ti puso ti balay ti Israel a naiyadayo kaniak gapu kadagiti didiosenda!'

In order that I may grasp the house of Israel by their heart, those who are separated from me through all their idols.

6 Isu nga ibagam iti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Agbabawikayo ken tallikudanyon dagiti didiosenyo! Tallikudanyon dagiti amin a makarimon nga aramidyo!

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Return, and cause [your heart] to turn away from your idols: and from all your abominations turn away your faces.

7 Ta tunggal maysa iti balay ti Israel ken tunggal maysa kadagiti ganggannaet nga agnanaed iti Israel a mangtulaw iti naganko, a mangipapuso nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosenna, ken dagiti mangikabil iti sangoananna iti pakaitibkulanna, ket kalpasanna, umasideg iti maysa a profeta tapno birokendak—Siak a ni Yahweh, ti mangsungbatto a mismo kenkuana!

For whatever man it be of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and then cometh to the prophet to inquire through him of me: I the Lord will answer him through my word;

8 Sangoekto dayta a tao ken pagbalinekto isuna a pakaballaagan ken maysa a proberbio, ta ikkatekto isuna iti nagtetengngaaan dagiti tattaok; ket maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh!

And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

9 No naallilaw ti maysa a profeta ket agibaga iti mensahe, ngarud, siak a ni Yahweh, allilawekto dayta a profeta; iyunnatkonto ti imak maibusor kenkuana ket dadaelekto isuna manipud kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita.

And when the prophet suffereth himself to be deceived, and he speaketh a word: I the Lord have suffered that prophet to be deceived: and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

10 Ket lak-amendanto ti bunga ti basolda; ti basol ti profeta ket maipada iti basol ti tao a nakiuman kenkuana.

And they shall bear their guilt: as the guilt of the inquirer is, so shall the guilt of the prophet be;

11 Gapu iti daytoy, saanton nga maiyaw-awan ti balay ti Israel iti panangsurotda kaniak, saandanto payen a tulawan dagiti bagbagida gapu kadagiti amin a panagsalungasingda. Isudanto dagiti tattaok, ket siakto ti Diosda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo!'”

In order that the house of Israel may go no more astray by not following me, and not pollute themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may become unto me a people, and I may be unto them a God, saith the Lord Eternal.

12 Kalpasanna, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kaniak, a kunana,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

13 “Anak ti tao, inton agbasol kaniak ti daga babaen iti panagbasolda, nga isu a pangdusaak kadakuada ken panangisardengko a panangipaay kadagiti taraonda, ken ti panangiyegko iti nakaro a panagbisin ken panangpukawko iti tao ken kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti daga;

Son of man, if a land should sin against me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break unto it the staff of bread, and send out famine against it, and cut off from it man and beast;

14 ngarud, uray no dagitoy a tallo a lallaki—a Noah, Daniel ken Job—ket adda iti dayta a daga, isuda laeng ti makaispal iti bukodda a biag gapu iti kinalintegda—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.

And if there be these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, in the midst of it: these through their righteousness should save but their own soul; saith the Lord Eternal.

15 No mangibaonak kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti entero a daga ken pagbalinek nga awan serserbi daytoy tapno agbalin a langalang nga awanton ti tao a makalabas iti daytoy gapu kadagiti narurungsot nga ay-ayup,

If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they depopulate it, and it becometh desolate, without any one to pass through because of the beasts:

16 ngarud, uray no dagitoy met laeng a lallaki ket adda iti daytoy—iti naganko, kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh—saandanto a maispal uray dagiti bukodda nga annak a lallaki wenno babbai; ti bukodda laeng a biag ti maispaldanto, ngem agbalinto a langalang ti daga!

These three men [if they were] in it, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, should not save either sons or daughters: they only should be saved, but the land should be made desolate.

17 Wenno, no mangibaonak iti kampilan iti dayta a daga a kunak, 'Kampilan, likmutem ti daga ket agpada a patayem ti tao ken ayup'—

Or, if I should bring a sword over that land, and say, The sword shall pass through the land, and I cut off from it man and beast;

18 ngarud, uray no adda dagitoy a tallo a lallaki iti dayta a daga—iti naganko, kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo—saandanto a kabaelan nga ispalen uray dagiti mismo nga annakda a lallaki wenno babbai; ti laeng bukodda a biag ti maispalto.

And if these three men should be in it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either sons or daughters, but they alone should be saved.

19 Wenno, no mangibaonak iti angol iti daytoy a daga a kasla ibukbokko ti nakaro a pungtotko maibusor iti daytoy babaen iti panagsayasay ti dara, tapno agpada a matay dagiti tattao ken ayup,

Or, if I should send out the pestilence against that land, and pour out my fury over it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;

20 ngarud, uray no ni Noah, ni Daniel, ken ni Job ket adda iti dayta a daga—iti naganko, kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh—saandanto a kabaelan nga ispalen dagiti mismo nga annakda a lallaki wenno babbai, ti laeng bukodda a biag ti maispal gapu iti kinalintegda.

And if Noah, Daniel, and Job, should be in the midst of it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either son or daughter; they through their righteousness should save their own soul.

21 Ta kastoy ni Yahweh nga Apo: Awan duadua a pagbalinek a dakdakes pay dagiti banbanag babaen iti panangiyegko iti uppat a pannusa—nakaro a panagbisin, kampilan, dagiti narurungsot nga ayup, ken angol—maibusor iti Jerusalem tapno agpada a matay ti tao ken ayup nga adda kenkuana.

For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I send my four dreadful means of punishment over Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast:

22 Ngem uray no kasta, addanto mabati kenkuana, rummuarto dagiti nakalasat a kaduada dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai. Rummuardanto a mapan kenka, ket makitamto dagiti wagas ti panagbiagda ken ar-aramidda, ket maliwliwakanto maipapan iti pannusa nga impalak-amko iti Jerusalem, ken maipapan iti amin a banag nga impalak-amko iti daga.

Still, behold, there are left therein some that escape who shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters; behold, they are coming forth unto you, and ye will see their way and their doings; and then will ye be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, yea, concerning all that I have brought upon it;

23 Liwliwaendakanto dagiti nakalasat inton makitam dagiti wagas ti panagbiagda ken ar-aramidda, isu a maammoamto amin dagitoy a banbanag nga inaramidko maibusor kenkuana, a saanko nga inaramid dagitoy nga awan mamaayna! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.”

And they will comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have executed in it, saith the Lord Eternal.
