< Ezekiel 20 >
1 In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down before me.
A shekara ta bakwai, a wata na biyar a rana ta goma, waɗansu dattawan Isra’ila suka zo don su nemi nufin Ubangiji, suka kuwa zauna a ƙasa a gabana.
2 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.
“Ɗan mutum, ka yi magana da dattawan Isra’ila ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa kun zo ne ku nemi shawarata? Muddin ina raye, ba zan bari ku nemi shawarata ba, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’
4 Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers
“Za ka hukunta su? Za ka hukunta su, ɗan mutum? To, sai ka kalubalance su da ayyukan banƙyamar kakanninsu
5 and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’
ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a ranar da na zaɓi Isra’ila, na ɗaga hannuna, na rantse wa zuriyar gidan Yaƙub na kuma bayyana kaina gare su a Masar da hannun da na ɗaga na ce musu, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
6 On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.
A ranar na yi musu rantsuwa cewa zan fitar da su daga Masar zuwa ƙasar da na samo musu, ƙasa mai zub da madara da zuma, ƙasa mafi kyau cikin dukan ƙasashe.
7 And I said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’
Na kuma ce musu, “Kowannenku ya zubar da mugayen siffofin da kuka kafa idanunku a kai, kuma kada ku ƙazantar da kanku da gumakan Masar. Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
8 But they rebelled against Me and refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the land of Egypt.
“‘Amma sai suka yi tawaye a kaina ba su kuwa saurare ni ba; ba su zubar da mugayen siffofin da suka kafa idanunsu a kai ba, balle su ƙi gumakan Masar. Saboda haka zan zubo hasalata a kansu in kuma aukar musu da fushina a Masar.
9 But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
Amma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da suka zauna a ciki da kuma a idanun al’ummai da na bayyana kaina ga Isra’ilawa ta wurin fitar da su daga Masar.
10 So I brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.
Saboda haka na fisshe su daga Masar na kawo su cikin hamada.
11 And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by them.
Na ba su ƙa’idodina na kuma sanar musu da dokokina, gama mutumin da ya yi biyayya da su zai rayu ta wurinsu.
12 I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
Na kuma ba su Asabbataina kamar alama tsakaninmu, domin su san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne yake tsarkake su.
13 Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
“‘Duk da haka mutanen Isra’ila suka yi mini tawaye a cikin hamada. Ba su bi ƙa’idodina ba amma suka ki dokokina, ko da yake mutumin da ya yi biyayya da su zai rayu ta wurinsu, suka ɓata Asabbataina ƙwarai. Saboda haka na ce zan zuba hasalata a kansu in kuma hallaka su a hamada.
14 But I acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
Amma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da a idonsu na fisshe su.
15 Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—
Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu a hamada cewa ba zan kawo su ƙasar da na ba su ba, ƙasa mai zub da madara da zuma, ƙasa mafi kyau cikin dukan ƙasashe,
16 because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.
domin sun ƙi dokokina ba su kuwa bi ƙa’idodina ba suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina. Gama zukatansu sun fi so su bauta wa gumakansu.
17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.
Duk da haka na dube su ta tausayi ba zan hallaka su ko in kawo ƙarshensu a hamada ba.
18 In the wilderness I said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
Na faɗa wa’ya’yansu a hamada, “Kada ku bi farillai kakanninku ko ku kiyaye dokokinsu ko ku ƙazantar da kanku da gumakansu.
19 I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them.
Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; ku bi ƙa’idodina ku kuma kula ku kiyaye dokokina.
20 Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’
Ku kiyaye Asabbataina da tsarki, don su zama alama tsakaninmu. Ta haka za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
21 But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the wilderness.
“‘Amma’ya’yan suka yi mini tawaye. Ba su bi ƙa’idodina ba, ba su kula su kiyaye dokokina ba, ko da yake mutumin da ya kiyaye su zai rayu ta wurinsu, suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina. Saboda haka na ce zan zuba hasalata a kansu in kuma aukar musu da fushina a hamada.
22 But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
Amma na janye hannuna, kuma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da a idonsu na fisshe su.
23 However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.
Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu cewa zan watsar da su cikin al’ummai in kuma warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe,
24 For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.
domin ba su kiyaye dokokina ba amma suka ƙi ƙa’idodina suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina, idanunsu suka yi sha’awar gumakan kakanninsu.
25 I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.
Na kuma ba da su ga farillan da ba su da kyau da dokokin da ba za su rayu ta wurinsu ba;
26 And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire—so that I might devastate them, in order that they would know that I am the LORD.
na bari suka ƙazantu ta wurin kyautai, hadayar kowane ɗan fari don in cika su da abin tsoro domin su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: In this way also your fathers blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.
“Saboda haka, ɗan mutum, ka yi magana da mutanen Isra’ila ka faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a wannan kuma kakanninku suka saɓe ni ta wurin yashe ni.
28 When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that provoked Me, sent up their fragrant incense, and poured out their drink offerings.
Sa’ad da na kawo su cikin ƙasar da na rantse zan ba su suka kuma ga tudu mai tsawo ko itace mai ganye, a can suka miƙa hadayunsu, suka yi sadakokin da suka tsokane ni na yi fushi, suka miƙa turaren ƙanshinsu suka kuma zuba sadakokinsu na sha.
29 So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)
Sai na ce musu, Wane ɗakin tsafi kuke tafiya?’” (Ana ce da shi Bama har wa yau.)
30 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did, prostituting yourselves with their abominations?
“Domin haka ka faɗa wa gidan Isra’ila, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa za ku ƙazantar da kanku yadda kakanninku suka yi ne ku yi sha’awar mugayen siffofinsu?
31 When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted by you!
Sa’ad da kuka miƙa kyautai naku, hadayar’ya’yanku maza a wuta, kuna cin gaba da ƙazantar da kanku da duka gumakanku har wa yau. Zan bari ku nemi shawarata, ya gidan Isra’ila? Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ba zan bari ku nemi shawarata ba.
32 When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.
“‘Kukan ce, “Kuna so ku zama kamar sauran al’ummai, kamar sauran mutanen duniya, waɗanda suke bauta wa itace da dutse.” Amma abin da kuke tunani ba zai taɓa faruwa ba.
33 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.
Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, zan yi mulki a kanku da hannu mai iko da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi da kuma fushi.
34 With a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered.
Zan fitar da ku daga al’ummai in tattara ku daga ƙasashe inda aka warwatsa ku, da hannu mai iko da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi da kuma fushi.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, where I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Zan kawo ku cikin hamadar al’ummai a can kuwa, fuska da fuska, zan hukunta ku.
36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.
Yadda na hukunta kakanninku a hamadar ƙasar Masar, haka zan hukunta ku, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
37 I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Zan lura da ku yayinda kuke wucewa ƙarƙashin sanda, zan kuma kawo ku cikin daurin alkawari.
38 And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Zan fitar da waɗanda suke mini tayarwa da kuma’yan tawaye. Ko da yake zan fitar da su daga ƙasar da suke zama, duk da haka ba za su shiga ƙasar Isra’ila ba. Sa’an nan za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.
39 And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.
“‘Game da ku, ya gidan Isra’ila, ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ku tafi ku bauta wa gumakanku, kowannenku! Amma daga baya tabbatacce za ku saurare ni ba kuwa za ku ƙara ɓata sunana mai tsarki da hadayunku da gumakanku ba.
40 For on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.
Gama a kan dutsena mai tsarki, dutse mai tsayi na Isra’ila, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, a can a ƙasar gidan Isra’ila gaba ɗaya za su bauta mini, a can kuwa zan karɓe su. A can zan bukaci hadayunku da sadake sadakenku mafi kyau, tare da dukan tsarkakan hadayunku.
41 When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through you in the sight of the nations.
Zan karɓe ku kamar turare mai ƙanshi sa’ad da na fitar da ku daga al’ummai na kuma tattara ku daga ƙasashe inda aka warwatsa ku, zan kuma nuna kaina mai tsarki a cikinku a idon al’ummai.
42 Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.
Sa’an nan za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji sa’ad da na kawo ku cikin ƙasar Isra’ila, ƙasar da na ɗaga hannu na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku.
43 There you will remember your ways and all the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils you have done.
A can za ku tuna da halinku da kuma dukan ayyukanku waɗanda kuka ɓata kanku da su, za ku kuwa ji ƙyamar kanku saboda mugayen abubuwan da kuka aikata.
44 Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares the Lord GOD.”
Za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji, sa’ad da na yi muku haka saboda sunana ba bisa ga mugayen hanyoyinku da ayyukanku marasa kyau ba, ya gidan Isra’ila, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’”
45 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
46 “Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against it, and prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
“Ɗan mutum, ka kafa fuskarka wajen kudu; ka yi wa’azi a kan kudu ka kuma yi annabci a kan kurmin ƙasar kudu.
47 Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.
Ka faɗa wa kurmin kudanci, ‘Ji maganar Ubangiji. Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ina gab da sa maka wuta, za tă kuwa cinye dukan itatuwanki sarai, da ɗanye da busasshe. Ba za a kashe wutar da take ci ba, kuma kowace fuska a kudu zuwa arewa za tă ƙone.
48 Then all people will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it will not be quenched.”
Kowa zai san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne ya ƙuna ta; ba za a kashe ta ba.’”
49 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”
Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Suna zance a kaina cewa, ‘Ba misalai kawai yake yi ba?’”
