Ang Mensahi sa mga Bukid sang Israel

36 Nagsiling ang Ginoo, “Tawo, maghambal ka sa mga bukid sang Israel. Silinga sila, ‘O mga bukid sang Israel, pamatii ninyo ang mensahi sang Ginoo. Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoong Dios: Nagsiling ang inyo mga kaaway nga ila na ang inyo madugay na nga mga bukid.’

“Gani, tawo, silinga ang mga bukid sang Israel nga ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling: Ginsalakay kamo sang mga nasyon sa bisan diin nga direksyon, kag karon ginapanag-iyahan nila kamo. Ginayaguta kag ginapakahuy-an pa nila kamo. 4-5 Gani, kamo nga mga bukid, mga ililigan sang tubig, mga patag, mga nagkalaguba nga mga lugar, kag mga mamingaw nga mga banwa nga ginsalakay kag ginyaguta sang mga nasyon sa palibot ninyo, pamatii ninyo ang akon ginasiling. Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling nga puwerte gid ang akon kaakig sa sina nga mga nasyon labi na gid sa Edom, kay gin-agaw nila ang akon duta nga may kalipay kag pagyaguta, kay gusto gid nila nga maangkon ang mga palahalban sini.

6-7 “Gani, tawo, maghambal ka sa duta sang Israel. Silinga ang mga bukid, mga ililigan sang tubig, kag mga patag, nga ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling: Nag-antos kamo sa pagpakahuya sang mga nasyon sa palibot ninyo. Gani sa puwerte ko nga kaakig, ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasumpa nga mahuy-an man ina nga mga nasyon. Pero kamo, mga bukid sang Israel, may mga kahoy nga magtubo sa inyo, kag magapamunga ini para sa akon katawhan nga mga Israelinhon, kay madali na lang sila nga magpauli. Pamati! Tatapon ko kamo. Araduhon ko ang inyo duta kag tamnan. 10 Padamuon ko ang inyo mga pumuluyo—ang bug-os nga katawhan sang Israel. Patindugon liwat ang inyo mga banwa nga nagkalaguba, kag pagapuy-an ini sang akon katawhan. 11 Padamuon ko ang inyo mga tawo kag ang inyo mga sapat. Paestaron ko liwat ang mga tawo sa inyo pareho sang una, kag pauswagon ko kamo sobra pa sang sa una. Dayon mahibaluan ninyo nga ako amo ang Ginoo. 12 Ibalik ko ang akon katawhan nga mga Israelinhon sa inyo. Panag-iyahan nila kamo, kag indi na gid ninyo liwat pagdulaon ang ila mga kabataan.”

13 Nagpadayon sa pagsiling ang Ginoong Dios, “Nagasiling ang mga tawo sa inyo nga ginahalitan[a] ninyo ang inyo mga pumuluyo kag ginadula ninyo ang mga kabataan sa inyo nasyon. 14 Pero sugod subong, indi na ninyo paghalitan ang inyo mga pumuluyo. Kag indi na ninyo pagdulaon ang mga kabataan sa inyo nasyon. Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, ang nagasiling sini. 15 Indi ko na pagtugutan nga yagutaon kamo ukon pakahuy-an sang iban nga mga nasyon. Kag indi ko na pagtugutan nga malaglag ang inyo nasyon. Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, ang nagasiling sini.”

16 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo sa akon: 17 “Tawo, sang nagaestar pa ang mga Israelinhon sa ila duta, ginhigkuan nila ini paagi sa ila malain nga pagginawi kag binuhatan. Sa akon panulok, ang ila pagginawi pareho kahigko sang babayi nga ara ang iya pamulanon. 18 Gani ginpaagom ko sa ila ang akon kaakig tungod sang ila pagpamatay sa duta sang Israel, kag tungod sang ila pagsimba sa mga dios-dios nga nakapahigko sang sini nga duta. 19 Ginpalapta ko sila sa iban nga mga nasyon. Ginhimo ko sa ila ang nagakabagay sa ila pagginawi kag binuhatan. 20 Bisan diin sila magkadto nga mga nasyon, nagakahuy-an ang akon balaan nga ngalan. Kay nagasiling ang mga tawo, ‘Mga katawhan sila sang Ginoo, pero ginpahalin niya sila sa iya duta.’ 21 Nagakabalaka gid ako sa akon balaan nga ngalan nga ginahatagan sang kahuy-anan sang katawhan sang Israel bisan diin sila magkadto nga mga nasyon. 22 Gani silinga ang katawhan sang Israel nga ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling: O katawhan sang Israel, ginapabalik ko kamo sa inyo duta indi tungod nga takos kamo nga magbalik didto. Ginahimo ko ini tungod sa akon balaan nga ngalan, nga inyo ginahatagan sang kahuy-anan bisan diin kamo magkadto nga mga nasyon. 23 Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, nagasiling nga ipakita ko ang pagkabalaan sang akon dungganon nga ngalan nga ginhatagan ninyo sang kahuy-anan sa mga nasyon. Dayon mahibaluan sang sina nga mga nasyon nga ako amo ang Ginoo kon ipakita ko ang akon pagkabalaan sa ila paagi sa himuon ko sa inyo. 24 Kay kuhaon ko kamo sa nagkalain-lain nga mga nasyon kag pabalikon sa inyo kaugalingon nga duta. 25 Wisikan ko kamo sang limpyo nga tubig agod mangin limpyo kamo sa tanan nga kahigkuan, kag indi na kamo magsimba sa mga dios-dios. 26 Hatagan ko kamo sang bag-o nga tagipusuon kag bag-o nga espiritu. Ang matig-a ninyo nga tagipusuon mangin matinumanon na nga tagipusuon. 27 Hatagan ko man kamo sang akon Espiritu agod masunod ninyo sing maayo ang akon mga sugo kag mga pagsulundan. 28 Magaestar kamo sa duta nga ginhatag ko sa inyo mga katigulangan. Mangin katawhan ko kamo kag mangin Dios ninyo ako. 29 Limpyuhan ko kamo sa tanan ninyo nga kahigkuan. Hatagan ko kamo sang bugana nga uyas, kag indi na kamo magaantos sing gutom. 30 Pabungahon ko sing madamo ang mga kahoy kag pabuganaon ko ang inyo mga patubas, agod indi na kamo pagpakahuy-an sang iban nga mga nasyon tungod sa gutom. 31 Dayon madumduman ninyo ang inyo malaot nga pagginawi kag pamatasan, kag kangil-aran ninyo ang inyo kaugalingon tungod sa inyo mga sala kag makangilil-ad nga mga binuhatan. 32 Pero gusto ko nga mahibaluan ninyo, O katawhan sang Israel, nga ginahimo ko ini indi tungod sa inyo. Dapat gid kamo nga mahuya sa inyo nga pagginawi. Ako, ang Ginoong Dios, ang nagasiling sini.”

33 Nagpadayon sa pagsiling ang Ginoong Dios, “Sa tion nga matinluan ko na kamo sa tanan ninyo nga mga sala, paestaron ko kamo liwat sa inyo mga banwa, kag patindugon ninyo ang mga nagkalaguba nga mga lugar. 34 Ang duta nga sadto anay mamingaw, pagaaraduhon na, kag ang tanan nga makakita sini 35 magasiling, ‘Ang duta nga sadto anay wala sing pulos, karon nangin pareho na sa katamnan sang Eden. Ang mga banwa nga sadto anay nagkalaguba kag mamingaw, karon may mga pader na kag ginaestaran na!’ 36 Dayon ang mga nasyon sa inyo palibot nga nagkalabilin makahibalo nga ako, ang Ginoo, amo ang nagpatindog sang mga nagkalaguba kag nagpatanom sa nangin mamingaw nga duta. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini, kag himuon ko gid ini.”

37-38 Nagpadayon pa gid sa pagsiling ang Ginoong Dios, “Pamatian ko liwat ang pagpakitluoy sang katawhan sang Israel, kag amo ini ang himuon ko sa ila: Padamuon ko sila pareho kadamo sang mga karnero nga ginahalad sa Jerusalem sa tion sang piesta. Gani ang nagkalaguba nga mga banwa pagaestaran na sang madamo nga mga tawo. Dayon mahibaluan nila nga ako amo ang Ginoo.”

Hope for the Mountains of Israel

36 “Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel(A) and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says:(B) The enemy said of you, “Aha!(C) The ancient heights(D) have become our possession.(E)”’ Therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because they ravaged(F) and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander,(G) therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys,(H) to the desolate ruins(I) and the deserted(J) towns that have been plundered and ridiculed(K) by the rest of the nations around you(L) this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning(M) zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’(N) Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.(O) Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand(P) that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.(Q)

“‘But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit(R) for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,(S) 10 and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins(T) rebuilt.(U) 11 I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful(V) and become numerous. I will settle people(W) on you as in the past(X) and will make you prosper more than before.(Y) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance;(Z) you will never again deprive them of their children.

13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because some say to you, “You devour people(AA) and deprive your nation of its children,” 14 therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord. 15 No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AB)’”

Israel’s Restoration Assured

16 Again the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness(AC) in my sight.(AD) 18 So I poured out(AE) my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. 19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered(AF) through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.(AG) 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned(AH) my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’(AI) 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.(AJ)

22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,(AK) which you have profaned(AL) among the nations where you have gone.(AM) 23 I will show the holiness of my great name,(AN) which has been profaned(AO) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,(AP) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy(AQ) through you before their eyes.(AR)

24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.(AS) 25 I will sprinkle(AT) clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse(AU) you from all your impurities(AV) and from all your idols.(AW) 26 I will give you a new heart(AX) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone(AY) and give you a heart of flesh.(AZ) 27 And I will put my Spirit(BA) in you and move you to follow my decrees(BB) and be careful to keep my laws.(BC) 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,(BD) and I will be your God.(BE) 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine(BF) upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.(BG) 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.(BH) 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed(BI) and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!(BJ)

33 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse(BK) you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins(BL) will be rebuilt.(BM) 34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden;(BN) the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.(BO) 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(BP)

37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea(BQ) and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,(BR) 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings(BS) at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BT)

36 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:

Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

13 Thus saith the Lord God; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:

14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God.

15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord God.

16 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land.

21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

37 Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
