Ezekiel 21
1 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 ”Anak ti tao, sumangoka iti Jerusalem, ken agsaoka a maibusor kadagiti lugar a pagdaydayawanda; agipadtoka iti maibusor iti daga ti Israel.
Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;
3 Ibagam iti daga ti Israel, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Adtoy! Bumusorak kenka! Asutekto ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy ket isinak manipud kenka ti nalinteg ken nadangkes a tao!
And say to the land of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, and I will take my sword out of its cover, cutting off from you the upright and the evil.
4 Iti kasta, maisinak manipud kenka ti nalinteg ken ti nadangkes a tao, rummuarto ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy a maibusor iti amin a lasag manipud iti abagatan agingga iti amianan.
Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:
5 Ket maammoanto ti amin a lasag a Siak a ni Yahweh, ket inasutko ti kampilanko manipud iti kaluban daytoy. Ket saanton a maikaluban daytoy!’
And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back.
6 Ket sika, anak ti tao, agasugka a kasla bumtak ti barukongmo! Agasugka iti nasaem iti imatangda!
Make sounds of grief, son of man; with body bent and a bitter heart make sounds of grief before their eyes.
7 Kalpasanna, mapasamakto nga agsaludsodda kenka, ‘Ania aya ti makagapu nga agas-asugka? Ket kunaemto, ‘Gapu kadagiti damag nga um-umay, ta tunggal puso ket mapukawanto iti namnama, ken tunggal ima ket agleppayto! Tunggal espiritu ket agkapuyto, ken tunggal tumeng ket agkutukotto a kasla danum nga agayos. Adtoy! Um-umayen ken awan duadua a matungpalto daytoy! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.”’
And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.
8 Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo: Ibagam: Maysa a kampilan! Maysa a kampilan! Mapatademto ken mapasilengto daytoy!
Son of man, say as a prophet, These are the words of the Lord: Say, A sword, a sword which has been made sharp and polished:
10 Mapatademto daytoy tapno makapapatay iti adu! Mapasilengto daytoy iti kasta aggilap a kasla kimat! Rumbeng aya nga agrag-otayo iti setro ti anakko? Ti um-umay a kampilan ket kagurgurana unay ti tunggal kasta a baston!
It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame: ...
11 Isu a maipaimanto ti kampilan tapno mapasileng, ket kalpasanna, tapno petpetan ti ima! Napatadem ti kampilan! Ket napasileng daytoy tapno maited iti ima ti maysa a mammapatay!’
And I have given it to the polisher so that it may be taken in the hand: he has made the sword sharp, he has had it polished, to put it into the hand of him who gives death.
12 Agkiddawka iti tulong ken agdung-awka, anak ti tao! Ta immay dayta a kampilan kadagiti tattaok! Karaman dagiti amin a mangidadaulo ti Israel a papatayen daytoy a kampilan! Isuda dagiti tattaok, isu a danugem ti barukongmo gapu iti ladingit!
Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.
13 Ta addanto ti pannubok, ngem kasano no saan nga agnanayon dayta a setro? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
14 Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken agtipatka, ta rumautto ti kampilan uray iti mamintallo a daras! Maysa a kampilan para kadagiti mapapatay! Maysa a kampilan para kadagiti adu a mapapatay, a mangrangrangkay kadakuada iti sadinoman a disso!
So then, son of man, be a prophet, and put your hands together with a loud sound, and give two blows with the sword, and even three; it is the sword of those who are wounded, even the sword of the wounded; the great sword which goes round about them.
15 Tapno agkebba ti pusoda ken tapno umadu dagiti pakaitibkulanda, inkabilko ti mammapatay a kampilan kadagiti ruanganda! Asida pay! Naaramid daytoy a kasla kimat, naisagana a pangpapatay!
In order that hearts may become soft, and the number of those who are falling may be increased, I have sent death by the sword against all their doors: you are made like a flame, you are polished for death.
16 Sika a kampilan! Tumagbatka iti kannawan! Tumagbatka iti kannigid! Mapanka iti sadinoman a kayat a papanan dagiti tademmo.
Be pointed to the right, to the left, wherever your edge is ordered.
17 Ta agtipatakto, ket kalpasanna, pabaawekto ti nakaro a pungtotko! Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”
And I will put my hands together with a loud sound, and I will let my wrath have rest: I the Lord have said it.
18 Immay manen kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
19 “Ita, sika nga anak ti tao, mangaramidka iti dua a kalsada para iti umay a kampilan ti ari ti Babilonia. Ti dua a kalsada ket mangrugi iti maymaysa a daga, ken ti maysa a poste ket maysa a pagilasinan kadagiti kalsada a mangitunda a mapan iti maysa a siudad.
And you, son of man, have two ways marked out, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; let the two of them come out of one land: and let there be a pillar at the top of the road:
20 Mangikabilka iti pagilasinan iti maysa a kalsada para iti armada ti Babilonia a mapan iti Rabba, a siudad dagiti Ammonita. Mangikabilka iti pagilasinan iti maysa pay a kalsada a mangiturong iti armada a mapan iti Juda ken iti siudad ti Jerusalem, a nasarikedkedan.
Put a pillar at the top of the road for the sword to come to Rabbah in the land of the children of Ammon, and to Judah and to Jerusalem in the middle of her.
21 Ta agsardengto ti ari ti Babilonia iti nagsangaan ti kalsada, tapno agbuyon iti nagsangaan ti kalsada. Gunggonennanto dagiti sumagmamano a pana ket agkiddaw iti tulong manipud kadagiti didiosenna no sadino a dalan ti turongenda. Sukimatennanto ti dalem!
For the king of Babylon took his place at the parting of the ways, at the top of the two roads, to make use of secret arts: shaking the arrows this way and that, he put questions to the images of his gods, he took note of the inner parts of dead beasts.
22 Iti makannawan nga imana ket ti sirmata a maipanggep iti Jerusalem, tapno isaganana ti troso a pangrebbada iti daytoy! Tapno iyungapna ti bibigna ket ibilinna nga irugidan ti mangpapatay! Tapno ipukkawna ti gubat! Tapno isaganana dagiti troso a pangrebbada kadagiti ruangan! Tapno mangibunton isuna kadagiti daga ken makaaramid kadagiti pagbatayanda nga umuli kadagiti pader!
At his right hand was the fate of Jerusalem, to give orders for destruction, to send up the war-cry, to put engines of war against the doors, lifting up earthworks, building walls.
23 Arigna nga awan serserbina daytoy iti imatang dagiti adda iti Jerusalem, dagidiay a nangikari iti maysa a sapata kadagiti taga-Babilonia! Ngem pabasolento ida ti ari a linabsingda ti katulaganda tapno laeng lakubenda ida!
And this answer given by secret arts will seem false to those who have given their oaths and have let them be broken: but he will keep the memory of evil-doing so that they may be taken.
24 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Gapu ta impalagipyo kaniak dagiti basbasolyo, maibutaktakto dagiti panaglabsingyo! Makitanto dagiti basolyo iti amin a tignayyo! Ta gapu iti daytoy, ipalagipyonto iti amin a masakupkayto babaen iti ima ti kabusoryo!
For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.
25 Ket sika, a makarimon ken nadangkes a mangiturturay iti Israel, sika a dimteng ti aldaw ti pannakadusana, sika a nagpatingga ti panangar-aramidna kadagiti nakaro a basbasol.
And you, O evil one, wounded to death, O ruler of Israel, whose day has come in the time of the last punishment;
26 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Ikkatem ti turbante ken ikkatem ti korona! Saanen a kas idi dagiti banbanag! Maipangato dagiti nababa ket maipababa dagiti nangato!
This is what the Lord has said: Take away the holy head-dress, take off the crown: this will not be again: let that which is low be lifted up, and that which is high be made low.
27 Dadaelekto ti amin a banag! Maysa a nadadael! Maysa a nadadael! Mapukawto ti korona, ngem saanto a mapasamak daytoy agingga nga umay ti addaan karbengan iti daytoy. Ket itedkonto daytoy kenkuana.
I will let it be overturned, overturned, overturned: this will not be again till he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
28 Isu a sika nga anak ti tao, agipadtoka ken ibagam, ‘Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Ammon maipanggep iti umadanin a pannakaibabainda: Maysa a kampilan, naasut ti maysa a kampilan! Napatadem daytoy a pangpapatay tapno mangikisap, isu nga agbalinto daytoy a kasla kimat!
And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:
29 Bayat a dagiti profeta ket awan masirmatada maipanggep kenka, bayat nga ar-aramidenda dagiti seremonia tapno agparnuay iti inuulbod maipanggep kenka, agdissonto daytoy a kampilan kadagiti tengnged dagiti nadangkes nga umadanin a mapapatay, dagiti tattao a dimtengen ti aldaw ti pannakadusada ken umadanin ti panagpatingga ti nakaro a panagbasbasolda.
Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.
30 Isublim ti kampilan iti kaluban daytoy. Iti lugar ti nakaparsuaam, iti daga a naggapuam, okumenkanto!
Go back into your cover. In the place where you were made, in the land from which you were taken, I will be your judge.
31 Idissuorkonto ti pungtotko kenka! Rubrobak ti pungtotko a maibusor kenka ken iyawatkanto iti ima dagiti naranggas a lallaki, kadagiti lallaki a nalaing iti panagdadael!
And I will let loose my burning passion on you, breathing out on you the fire of my wrath: and I will give you up into the hands of men like beasts, trained to destruction.
32 Agbalinkanto a pangparubrob iti apuy! Agsayasayto ti daram iti katengngaan ti daga. Saandakanton a malagip, ta Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”’
You will be food for the fire; your blood will be drained out in the land; there will be no more memory of you: for I the Lord have said it.
