1 Nangyari nga, nang ikapitong buwan, na si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, na anak ni Elisama, na lahing hari, at isa sa mga punong oficial ng hari, at sangpung lalake na kasama niya, ay nagsiparoon kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam sa Mizpa; at doo'y magkasama silang nagsikain ng tinapay sa Mizpa.

2 Nang magkagayo'y tumindig si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at ang sangpung lalake na kasama niya, at sinugatan ng tabak, si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam na anak ni Saphan, at pinatay siya, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.

3 Pinatay rin naman ni Ismael ang lahat na Judio na kasama niya, na kasama ni Gedalias, sa Mizpa, at ang mga Caldeo na nangasumpungan doon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga lalaking mangdidigma.

4 At nangyari, nang ikalawang araw, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias, at wala pang lalaking nakakaalam,

5 Na nagsiparoon ang mga lalake na mula sa Sichem, mula sa Silo, at mula sa Samaria, sa makatuwid baga'y walong pung lalake, na may mga ahit na balbas at may mga hapak na kasuutan, at may mga kudlit, may mga alay at mga kamangyan sa kanilang kamay, upang dalhin sa bahay ng Panginoon.

6 At si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay lumabas na mula sa Mizpa upang salubungin sila, na umiiyak siya habang lumalakad: at nangyari, pagkasalubong niya sa kanila, sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparoon kayo kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam.

7 At nangyari, na nang sila'y pumasok sa gitna ng bayan, na pinatay sila ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias at inihagis sila sa hukay, niya at ng mga lalake na kasama niya.

8 Nguni't sangpung lalake ay nangasumpungan sa kanila na nangagsabi kay Ismael, Huwag mo kaming patayin; sapagka't kami ay may mga kayamanan na kubli sa parang, na trigo, at cebada, at langis, at pulot. Sa gayo'y nagpigil siya, at hindi niya pinatay sila sa gitna ng kanilang mga kapatid.

9 Ang hukay nga na pinagtapunan ni Ismael ng lahat ng bangkay ng mga tao na kaniyang pinatay, sa siping ni Gedalias, (siya ring ginawa ni Asa na hari dahil sa takot kay Baasa na hari sa Israel), pinuno ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ng nangapatay.

10 Nang magkagayo'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael ang lahat na nangalabi sa bayan na nangasa Mizpa, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga anak na babae ng hari, at ang buong bayan na nalabi sa Mizpa, na siyang mga ibinilin ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam; sila'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nagpatuloy na yumaon sa mga anak ni Ammon.

11 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ni Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ng lahat na kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang buong kasamaan na ginawa ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias,

12 Ipinagsama nga nila ang lahat na lalake, at sila'y nagsiyaong lumaban kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nasumpungan nila siya sa tabi ng malaking bukal na nasa Gabaon.

13 Nangyari nga, nang makita ng buong bayan na kasama ni Ismael si Johanan na anak ni Carea at ang lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, sila nga'y nangatuwa.

14 Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan na dinalang bihag ni Ismael na mula sa Mizpa, ay pumihit at bumalik, at naparoon kay Johanan na anak ni Carea.

15 Nguni't si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay tumanan mula kay Johanan na kasama ng walong lalake, at naparoon sa mga anak ni Ammon.

16 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Johanan na anak ni Carea at ng lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang lahat na nalabi sa bayan na kaniyang nabawi kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, mula sa Mizpa, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, sa makatuwid ang mga lalaking magdidigma, at ang mga babae, at ang mga bata, at ang mga bating, na kaniyang mga ibinalik mula sa Gabaon;

17 At sila'y nagsiyaon at nagsitahan sa Geruth chimham, na malapit sa Bethlehem upang pumaroong masok sa Egipto.

18 Dahil sa mga Caldeo; sapagka't sila'y nangatakot sa kanila, sapagka't pinatay ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.

Ezekiel 21

Study

   

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop [your word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

3 and tell the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

5 and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

6 Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your thighs and with bitterness you will sigh before their eyes.

7 It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.

8 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh: say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;

10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it condemns every tree.

11 It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer.

12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.

13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more? says the Lord Yahweh.

14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their rooms.

15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.

16 Gather yourselves together, go to the right, set yourselves in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.

17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

18 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,

19 Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.

20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.

21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.

22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.

23 It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.

25 You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,

26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.

27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

28 You, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;

29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.

30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.

31 I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.

32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be remembered no more: for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
