< Ezekiel 11 >

1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looks eastward. And, behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men. And I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.
Hafuurri ol na fuudhee gara balbala mana Waaqayyoo kan gara baʼaa ilaaluutti na fide. Achis karra balbala sanaa dura namoota digdamii shantu ture; anis isaan gidduutti hooggantoota sabaa Yaazaniyaa ilma Azurii fi Phelaatiyaa ilma Benaayaa nan arge.
2 And he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city,
Waaqayyos akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, isaan kunneen namoota magaalaa kana keessatti hammina malanii fi gorsa hamaa gorsanii dha.
3 who say, The time is not near to build houses. This city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
Isaanis, ‘Yeroon itti manneen ijaaraman gaʼeera mitii? Magaalattiin kun okkotee waa itti affeelanii dha; nu immoo ishee keessatti foon’ jedhan.
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, O son of man.
Kanaafuu isaanitti raajii dubbadhu; yaa ilma namaa raajii dubbadhu.”
5 And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Jehovah: Thus ye have said, O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind.
Ergasii Hafuurri Waaqayyoo narra buʼee akkana naan jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Yaa mana Israaʼel isin akkas jettu; ani garuu waan isin qalbii keessanitti yaaddan nan beeka.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Isin magaalaa kana keessatti namoota hedduu ajjeeftanii daandii ishee reeffaan guuttaniirtu.
7 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron, but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Reeffi isin achitti gattan foon; magaalaan kun immoo okkotee dha; ani garuu magaalaa kana keessaa isinan baasa.
8 Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, says the lord Jehovah.
Isin goraadee sodaattu; wanni ani isinitti fidu immoo goraadeedha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ani magaalaa keessaa isin baasee alagaatti dabarsee isin kennee isinan adaba.
10 Ye shall fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Isin goraadeedhaan dhumtu; anis daangaa Israaʼel irratti isinitti mura. Kanaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
11 This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. I will judge you in the border of Israel,
Magaalaan kun okkotee isinii hin taatu yookaan isin achi keessatti foon hin taatan; anis daangaa Israaʼel irratti isinitti nan mura.
12 and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. For ye have not walked in my statutes, nor have ye executed my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
Isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu; sirna saboota naannoo keessan jiraatanii duukaa buutan malee seera koo hin eegne yookaan naamusa koo hin eegneetii.”
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah lord Jehovah! Will thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Utuma ani raajii dubbachaa jiruu Phelaatiyaan ilmi Benaayaa duʼe. Kana irratti ani addaan lafatti gombifamee, “Ani bade yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa! Ati hambaa Israaʼel guutumaan guutuutti balleessitaa?” jedheen sagalee guddaadhaan iyye.
14 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
15 Son of man, thy brothers, even thy brothers, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Jehovah. This land is given to us for a possession.
“Yaa ilma namaa, obboloota kee jechuunis obboloota kee kanneen firoota kee dhiigaatii fi manni Israaʼel guutuun kanneen namoonni Yerusaalem, ‘Isaan Waaqayyo irraa fagaataniiru; biyyi kunis akka handhuuraatti nuuf kennamteerti’ jedhaniinii dha.
16 Therefore say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.
“Kanaafuu akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota gidduutti fageessee isaan ergee biyyoota keessa isaan faffacaasu iyyuu, amma illee yeroo xinnoof biyyoota isaan dhaqan keessatti isaaniif iddoo qulqullummaa taʼeera.’
17 Therefore say, Thus says the lord Jehovah. I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
“Kanaafuu akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota keessaa walitti isin qabee biyyoota itti bittinnooftan keessaa deebisee isin nan fida; biyya Israaʼelis deebisee isiniif nan kenna.’
18 And they shall come there, and they shall take away from there all the detestable things of it and all the abominations of it.
“Isaan biyyattiitti deebiʼanii wantoota ishee jibbisiisoo hundaa fi wantoota ishee balfamoo hunda ishee keessaa ni balleessu.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
Ani garaa gargar hin qoodamne isaaniif nan kenna; hafuura haaraas isaan keessa nan kaaʼa; garaa isaanii isa dhagaa isaan keessaa baasee garaa foonii nan kennaaf.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Isaanis sirna koo duukaa buʼu; seera kootiifis ni ajajamu. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
21 But as for those whose heart walks according to the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, says the lord Jehovah.
Warra qalbiin isaanii fakkiiwwan isaanii kanneen faayidaa hin qabnee fi waaqota isaanii tolfamoo jibbisiisoo sanaan fudhatame garuu ani waan isaan hojjetan matuma isaaniitti nan deebisa jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ergasiis kiirubeeliin qoochoowwan isaanii diriirfatan; geengoowwanis isaan cina turan; ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼel immoo isaan gubbaadhaan ture.
23 And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ulfinni Waaqayyoos magaalaa keessaa ol baʼee tulluu baʼa magaalattiitiin jiru gubbaadhaan dhaabate.
24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Hafuurri ol na fuudhee mulʼata Hafuura Waaqaatiin gara boojiʼamtoota biyya Baabilon jiraniitti na fide. Ergasiis mulʼanni ani argee ture sun na dhiisee ol baʼe;
25 Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shown me.
anis waan Waaqayyo na argisiise hunda boojiʼamtootatti nan hime.
