Ang Tuktukon nga Kaldero

24 Sang ikanapulo nga adlaw sang ikanapulo nga bulan, sang ikasiyam nga tuig sang amon pagkabihag, nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, “Tawo, isulat ang petsa subong nga adlaw kay amo gid ini nga adlaw nga nagasugod sa pagsalakay ang hari sang Babilonia sa Jerusalem. Dayon isugid ini nga paanggid sa katawhan sang Israel nga mga rebelde, kag pahibalua sila nga ako, ang Ginoong Dios, ang nagasiling sini:

“Magbutang ka sang tubig sa kaldero kag isun-ad. Butangi ini sang maayo nga bahin sang karne—mga abaga kag mga paa. Ilakot man ang mga tul-an. Ang karne lang sang pinakamaayo nga karnero ang imo gamiton. Gatungi ang kaldero kag lagaa ang karne kag mga tul-an. Kay ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling: Kaluluoy ang siyudad sang Jerusalem nga ang mga pumuluyo sini mga manugpatay. Pareho ini sa tuktukon nga kaldero nga wala malimpyuhi. Gani kuhaa sing tag-isa-isa ang sulod sini kag indi pagpilia. Kay ang iya pagpamatay hayag sa tanan. Ang dugo sang iya ginpamatay ginpabay-an lang niya sa mga bato nga makita sang tanan. Wala gid niya ini gintabunan sang duta. Nakita ko ini nga dugo kag ginpabay-an ko ini nga makita sang tanan. Daw sa nagasinggit ini sa akon nga magtimalos ako.

“Gani ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling: ‘Kaluluoy ang siyudad sang Jerusalem nga ang mga pumuluyo sini mga manugpatay! Ako mismo ang magatumpok sang gatong agod sunugon siya. 10 Sige, dugangi pa gid ninyo ang gatong, kag dayon sindihan. Lagaa ang karne hasta nga mahubsan[a] kag mabatok ang mga tul-an. 11 Itungtong dayon ang kaldero nga wala na sing sulod sa mga baga hasta nga magbaga man ini. Sa sini nga paagi, malimpyuhan kuntani ang kaldero kag masunog ang mga tuktok. 12 Pero bisan anhon mo pa, ang tuktok indi gid makuha sang kalayo.

13 “ ‘Jerusalem, ang imo binastos nga buluhaton amo ang nagdagta sa imo. Gintinguhaan ko nga limpyuhan ka, pero indi ka magpalimpyo. Gani magapabilin ka nga mahigko hasta indi madula ang akon kaakig sa imo. 14 Ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling nga nag-abot na ang tion nga maghulag na ako, kag wala sing may makapugong sa akon. Indi ko gid kamo pagkaluoyan, kag indi na magliwat ang akon hunahuna. Pagahukman kamo suno sa inyo pagginawi kag binuhatan. Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, ang nagasiling sini.’ ”

Ang Pagkapatay sang Asawa ni Ezekiel

15 Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, 16 “Tawo, kuhaon ko gulpi ang babayi nga palangga mo gid. Pero indi mo siya paghibian kag pagpangasubuan. 17 Mag-ugayong ka lang sing hinay. Indi mo pag-ipakita nga nagapangasubo ka. Indi paghuksa ang imo turban kag sandalyas, kag indi pagtabuni ang imo guya. Indi ka man magkaon sang kalan-on nga ginakaon sang mga nagapangasubo sa patay.”

18 Gani sang aga ginhambal ko ato sa mga tawo, kag pagkagab-i napatay ang akon asawa. Kag pagkasunod nga aga gintuman ko ang ginsugo sa akon. 19 Dayon nagpamangkot ang mga tawo sa akon, “Ano bala ang buot mo silingon sa ginahimo mo nga ina?” 20-21 Nagsabat ako sa ila, “Nagsiling ang Ginoong Dios sa akon nga ihambal ko ini sa katawhan sang Israel: Handa na ako sa pagdagta sang akon templo nga inyo dalangpan, nga inyo ginapabugal, ginapakamahal, kag ginakalipay. Mapatay sa inaway ang inyo mga kabataan nga nagkalabilin sa Jerusalem. 22 Kag pagahimuon ninyo ang ginhimo ni Ezekiel. Indi ninyo pagtabunan ang inyo guya, kag indi kamo magkaon sang kalan-on nga ginakaon sang mga nagapangasubo sa patay. 23 Indi man ninyo paghukson ang inyo mga turban kag mga sandalyas. Indi kamo maghibi ukon magpangasubo. Magapalangluya kamo nga nagaugayong sa isa kag isa tungod sa inyo mga sala. 24 Si Ezekiel mangin isa ka halimbawa sa inyo. Kon ano ang iya ginahimo, pagahimuon man ninyo. Kon matabo na ina nga silot mahibaluan ninyo nga ako amo ang Ginoong Dios.”

25 Nagpadayon sa pagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, “Tawo, sa tion nga gub-on ko na ang templo nga ila dalangpan, nga ila ginapabugal, ginapakamahal kag ginakalipay, kag pamatyon ko na ang ila mga kabataan, 26 may isa ka tawo nga makapalagyo halin sa Jerusalem nga magasugid sini sa imo. 27 Sa sina nga tion, makahambal ka na liwat kag magaestoryahanay kamo nga duha. Mangin paandam ka sa mga tawo, kag mahibaluan dayon nila nga ako amo ang Ginoo.”

Jerusalem as a Cooking Pot

24 In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the Lord came to me:(A) “Son of man, record(B) this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.(C) Tell this rebellious people(D) a parable(E) and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Put on the cooking pot;(F) put it on
    and pour water into it.
Put into it the pieces of meat,
    all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder.
Fill it with the best of these bones;(G)
    take the pick of the flock.(H)
Pile wood beneath it for the bones;
    bring it to a boil
    and cook the bones in it.(I)

“‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Woe(J) to the city of bloodshed,(K)
    to the pot now encrusted,
    whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
    in whatever order(L) it comes.(M)

“‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
    She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
    where the dust would cover it.(N)
To stir up wrath and take revenge
    I put her blood on the bare rock,
    so that it would not be covered.

“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Woe to the city of bloodshed!
    I, too, will pile the wood high.
10 So heap on the wood
    and kindle the fire.
Cook the meat well,
    mixing in the spices;
    and let the bones be charred.
11 Then set the empty pot on the coals
    till it becomes hot and its copper glows,
so that its impurities may be melted
    and its deposit burned away.(O)
12 It has frustrated all efforts;
    its heavy deposit has not been removed,
    not even by fire.

13 “‘Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed(P) from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.(Q)

14 “‘I the Lord have spoken.(R) The time has come for me to act.(S) I will not hold back; I will not have pity,(T) nor will I relent.(U) You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions,(V) declares the Sovereign Lord.(W)’”

Ezekiel’s Wife Dies

15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, with one blow(X) I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes.(Y) Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears.(Z) 17 Groan quietly;(AA) do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban(AB) fastened and your sandals(AC) on your feet; do not cover your mustache and beard(AD) or eat the customary food of mourners.(AE)

18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did as I had been commanded.(AF)

19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things have to do with us?(AG) Why are you acting like this?”

20 So I said to them, “The word of the Lord came to me: 21 Say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary(AH)—the stronghold in which you take pride,(AI) the delight of your eyes,(AJ) the object of your affection. The sons and daughters(AK) you left behind will fall by the sword.(AL) 22 And you will do as I have done. You will not cover your mustache and beard(AM) or eat the customary food of mourners.(AN) 23 You will keep your turbans(AO) on your heads and your sandals(AP) on your feet. You will not mourn(AQ) or weep but will waste away(AR) because of[a] your sins and groan among yourselves.(AS) 24 Ezekiel(AT) will be a sign(AU) to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’

25 “And you, son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes,(AV) their heart’s desire,(AW) and their sons and daughters(AX) as well— 26 on that day a fugitive will come to tell you(AY) the news. 27 At that time your mouth will be opened; you will speak with him and will no longer be silent.(AZ) So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.(BA)

  1. Ezekiel 24:23 Or away in

24 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

14 I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God.

15 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

20 Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.

25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
