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, set your face toward Jerusalem, and pour in drops toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the soil 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 you shall say to the land of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, and I will cast my sword from its sheath, and I will slay the just and the impious among you.
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.
But in as much as I have slain among you the just and the impious, for this reason my sword will go forth from its sheath against all flesh, from the south even 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!’
So may all flesh know that I, the Lord, have led my sword out of its sheath irrevocably.
6 Ket sika, anak ti tao, agasugka a kasla bumtak ti barukongmo! Agasugka iti nasaem iti imatangda!
And as for you, son of man, groan in the breaking of your back, and groan in bitterness before them.
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 will say to you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you shall say: ‘On behalf of the report, for it is approaching. And every heart will waste away, and every hand will be broken, and every spirit will be weakened, and water will flow across every knee.’ Behold, it is approaching and it will happen, says the Lord God.”
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, prophesy, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Speak: The sword! The sword has been sharpened 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 sharpened, so that it may cut down victims! It has been polished, so that it may shine! You are disturbing the scepter of my son. You have cut down every tree.
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 sent it to be made smooth, so that it may be handled. This sword has been sharpened, and it has been polished, so that it may be in the hand of the one who kills.
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!
Cry out and wail, O son of man! For this has been done among my people, this is among all the leaders of Israel, who have fled. They have been handed over to the sword, with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh,
13 Ta addanto ti pannubok, ngem kasano no saan nga agnanayon dayta a setro? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
for it has been tested. And this one, when he will have overthrown the scepter, will not be, says the Lord God.
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!
You therefore, O son of man, prophesy, and strike hand against hand, and let the sword be doubled, and let the sword of the slain be tripled. This is the sword of the great slaughter, which causes them to be utterly stupefied,
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!
and to waste away in heart, and which multiplies ruin. At all their gates, I have presented the consternation of the sword, which has been sharpened and polished so as to shine, which has been dressed for the slaughter.
16 Sika a kampilan! Tumagbatka iti kannawan! Tumagbatka iti kannigid! Mapanka iti sadinoman a kayat a papanan dagiti tademmo.
Be sharpened! Go to the right or to the left, whichever way is the desire of your face.
17 Ta agtipatakto, ket kalpasanna, pabaawekto ti nakaro a pungtotko! Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!”
And then I will clap hand against hand, and I will fulfill my indignation. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18 Immay manen kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came to me, 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 as for you, son of man, set for yourself two ways, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may approach. Both shall go forth from one land. And with a hand, he will grasp and cast lots; he will cast at the head of the way of the community.
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.
You shall appoint a way, so that the sword may approach to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, or to Judah, into Jerusalem, greatly fortified.
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 stood at the fork, at the head of the two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows; he inquired of idols, and he consulted entrails.
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!
To his right was set the divination over Jerusalem, to place battering rams so as to open a mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice of wailing, to place battering rams opposite the gates, to cast up a rampart, to build fortifications.
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 he shall be, in their eyes, like someone consulting an oracle in vain, or imitating the leisure of Sabbaths. But he will call to mind iniquities, so that it will be captured.
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!
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because you have been remembered in your iniquities, and you have revealed your betrayals, and your sins have appeared within all your plans, because, I say, you have been remembered, you will be captured by a hand.
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.
But as for you, O impious leader of Israel, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity:
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!
Thus says the Lord God: Take away the diadem, remove the crown. Is this not what has exalted the lowly one, and brought low the sublime one?
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.
Iniquity, iniquity, iniquity I will make it. And this was not done until the one arrived to whom judgment belongs, and I will hand it over 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 as for you, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus says the Lord God to the sons of Ammon, and to their disgrace, and you shall say: O sword, O sword, unsheathe yourself so as to slay; polish yourself so as to kill and to shine,
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.
while they look upon you in vain, and they divine lies, so that you may be given over to the necks of the wounded impious, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity.
30 Isublim ti kampilan iti kaluban daytoy. Iti lugar ti nakaparsuaam, iti daga a naggapuam, okumenkanto!
Be returned to your sheath! I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
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 pour out upon you my indignation. In the fire of my fury, I will fan you, and I will give you over to the hands of cruel men, who have devised 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 in the midst of the land; you will be delivered to oblivion. For I, the Lord, have spoken.”
