Ezekiel 5
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Inahit ni Ezekiel ang Kanyang Buhok at Balbas
5 Sinabi sa akin ng Diyos, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, kumuha ka ng isang matalim na tabak at ahitin mo ang iyong buhok at balbas. Pagkatapos, timbangin mo iyon at pagtatluhing bahagi. 2 Sunugin mo sa gitna ng lunsod ang unang bahagi matapos itong kubkubin. Ang ikalawang bahagi ay tadtarin mo habang naglalakad ka sa buong lunsod. Ihagis mo naman sa hangin ang ikatlong bahagi at pasusundan ko ng tabak. 3 Kumuha ka ng ilang hibla ng buhok at itali mo sa laylayan ng iyong kasuotan. 4 Kapag naitali mo na, kumuha ka pa ng ilang hibla at sunugin mo. Ang apoy nito ay kakalat at susunog sa buong Israel.”
5 Sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh, “Ang lunsod ng Jerusalem ay ginawa kong pinakasentro ng mga bansa. 6 Ngunit nilabag niya ang aking Kautusan at mga tuntunin. Nagpakasama siya nang higit pa sa mga bansa sa kanyang paligid. Tinalikuran nga niya ang aking Kautusan at iniwan ang aking mga tuntunin. 7 Kaya, ganito ang sabihin mo sa kanila: Dahil sa kaguluhan mong higit pa sa bansa sa inyong paligid, sa pagtalikod ng mamamayan mo sa aking mga tuntunin at Kautusan, at sa inyong paglakad ayon sa tuntunin ng mga bansang iyon, 8 ako ay laban sa inyo ngayon. Paparusahan ko kayo sa harapan ng inyong mga kaaway. 9 At dahil sa inyong kasamaan, gagawin ko sa inyo ang isang bagay na hindi ko pa ginagawa at hindi ko na gagawin pa. 10 Kakainin(A) ng magulang ang kanilang mga sariling anak, at ng mga anak ang kanilang mga sariling magulang. Paparusahan ko nga kayo, at ang matirang buháy ay pangangalatin ko sa lahat ng dako. 11 Kayong lahat ay buong lupit kong ibabagsak dahil sa inyong kasamaan at paglapastangan sa aking Templo sa pamamagitan ng kasuklam-suklam ninyong gawain. 12 Hahatiin ko kayo sa tatlo. Ang unang bahagi ay papatayin ko sa salot at sa matinding taggutom. Ang ikalawa'y sa pamamagitan ng tabak. Ang ikatlo'y ikakalat ko sa lahat ng dako, at patuloy kong uusigin.
13 “Ibubuhos ko sa inyo ang aking poot hanggang sa gumaan ang aking loob. Kung madama ninyo ang bigat ng aking parusa, makikilala ninyo na akong si Yahweh ay marunong mapoot dahil sa matinding panibugho. 14 Gagawin ko kayong isang pook ng lagim, at katatawanan ng lahat ng bansa sa paligid, ng lahat ng makakakita sa inyo. 15 Mabibilad kayo sa kahihiyan at lilibakin. Magsisilbi kayong babala sa mga bansa sa inyong paligid sa sandaling ipataw ko sa inyo ang mabigat na parusa bunga ng matinding poot ko sa inyo. Akong si Yahweh ang nagsabi nito. 16 Mangyayari ito sa sandaling padalhan ko kayo ng matinding taggutom at iba't ibang kahirapan. 17 Padadalhan(B) ko kayo ng taggutom at mababangis na hayop na siyang lalapa sa inyong mga anak. Makakaranas kayo ng salot at digmaan; hahayaan ko rin kayong usigin. Akong si Yahweh ang maysabi nito.”

A Sword Against Jerusalem
5 “And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber’s razor, (A)and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. 2 (B)You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of (C)the city, when (D)the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after (E)them. 3 (F)You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment. 4 Then take some of them again and (G)throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.
5 “Thus says the Lord God: ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her. 6 She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’ 7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have [a]multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes (H)nor kept My judgments, [b]nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’— 8 therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. 9 (I)And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. 10 Therefore fathers (J)shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will (K)scatter to all the winds.
11 ‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have (L)defiled My sanctuary with all your (M)detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; (N)My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. 12 (O)One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and (P)I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after (Q)them.
13 ‘Thus shall My anger (R)be spent, and I will (S)cause My fury to rest upon them, (T)and I will be avenged; (U)and they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them. 14 Moreover (V)I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
15 ‘So [c]it shall be a (W)reproach, a taunt, a (X)lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in (Y)furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 When I (Z)send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your (AA)supply of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and (AB)wild beasts, and they will bereave you. (AC)Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”

Jerusalem Will Be Destroyed
5 “And you, (A)O son of man, take a (B)sharp sword. Use it as (C)a barber's razor and (D)pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair. 2 (E)A third part you shall burn in the fire (F)in the midst of the city, (G)when the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city. (H)And a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and (I)I will unsheathe the sword after them. 3 (J)And you shall take from these a small number and bind them in the skirts of your robe. 4 (K)And of these again you shall take some and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
5 “Thus says the Lord God: (L)This is Jerusalem. I have set her (M)in the center of the nations, with countries all around her. 6 And she has rebelled against my rules by doing wickedness (N)more than the nations, and against my statutes more than (O)the countries all around her; for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statutes. 7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you are (P)more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, (Q)and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, (R)and have not[a] even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, 8 therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, even I, (S)am against you. (T)And I will execute judgments[b] in your midst (U)in the sight of the nations. 9 And because of all your abominations I will do with you (V)what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again. 10 Therefore (W)fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers. (X)And I will execute judgments on you, (Y)and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds. 11 Therefore, (Z)as I live, declares the Lord God, surely, (AA)because you have defiled my sanctuary (AB)with all your detestable things and with all your (AC)abominations, (AD)therefore I will withdraw.[c] (AE)My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity. 12 (AF)A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in your midst; (AG)a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; (AH)and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them.
13 (AI)“Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that (AJ)I am the Lord—that I have spoken in my jealousy—(AK)when I spend my fury upon them. 14 Moreover, I will make you (AL)a desolation and (AM)an object of reproach among (AN)the nations all around you and in the sight of all who pass by. 15 You shall be[d] a reproach and a taunt, a warning (AO)and a horror, to (AP)the nations all around you, (AQ)when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and (AR)with furious rebukes—I am the Lord; I have spoken— 16 when I send against you[e] (AS)the deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon (AT)you and break your supply[f] of bread. 17 I will send famine and (AU)wild beasts against you, (AV)and they will rob you of your children. Pestilence and (AW)blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I am the Lord; I have spoken.”
