Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you shall say to them: Concerning the land, when I will have led the sword over it: if the people of the land take a man, one of their least, and appoint him over themselves as a watchman,
“Ọmọ ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀ sí àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ rẹ kí ó sì sọ fún wọn: ‘Nígbà tí mo bá fi idà kọlu ilẹ̀ kan, tí àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà yan ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọkùnrin wọn láti jẹ́ alóre wọn,
3 and if he sees the sword approaching over the land, and he sounds the trumpet, and he announces to the people,
tí ó sì rí i pé idà ń bọ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ náà, tí ó sì fọn ìpè láti kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn,
4 then, having heard the sound of the trumpet, whoever he is, if he also does not take care of himself, and the sword arrives and takes him: his blood will be upon his own head.
nígbà náà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ìpè ṣùgbọ́n tí kò gbọ́ ìkìlọ̀, tí idà náà wá tí ó sì gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ̀.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and he did not take care of himself, so his blood will be upon him. But if he guards himself, he will save his own life.
Nítorí tí ó gbọ́ ohùn ìpè ṣùgbọ́n tí kò sì gbọ́ ìkìlọ̀, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò wà ní orí ara rẹ̀. Tí ó bá gbọ́ ìkìlọ̀, òun ìbá ti gba ara rẹ̀ là.
6 And if the watchman sees the sword approaching, and he does not sound the trumpet, and so the people do not guard themselves, and the sword arrives and takes some of their lives, certainly these have been taken due to their own iniquity. But I will attribute their blood to the hand of the watchman.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí alóre bá rí idà tí o ń bọ̀, tí kò sì fọn ìpè láti ki àwọn ènìyàn nílọ̀, tí idà náà wá, tí ó sì gba ẹ̀mí ọ̀kan nínú wọn, a yóò mú ọkùnrin náà lọ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.’
7 And as for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore, having heard the word from my mouth, you shall announce it to them from me.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, èmi fi ọ ṣe alóre fún ilé Israẹli; nítorí náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo sọ, kí o sì fún wọn ni ìkìlọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
8 When I say to the impious, ‘O impious man, you will die a death,’ if you have not spoken so that the impious man will keep himself from his way, then that impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
Nígbà ti mo bá sọ fún ẹni búburú pé, ‘A! Ẹni búburú, ìwọ yóò kú dandan,’ ti ìwọ kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ síta láti yí i lọ́kàn padà kúrò ni ọ̀nà rẹ̀ gbogbo, ẹni búburú náà yóò kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ rẹ.
9 But if you have announced to the impious man, so that he may be converted from his ways, and he has not converted from his way, then he will die in his iniquity. Yet you will have freed your own soul.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá kìlọ̀ fún ẹni búburú láti yí padà kúrò ni ọ̀nà rẹ̀ gbogbo, tí òun kò sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun yóò kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti gba ọkàn rẹ̀ là.
10 You, therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken in this way, saying: ‘Our iniquities and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them. So then, how would we be able to live?’
“Ọmọ ènìyàn; sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Èyí yìí ní ìwọ sọ: “Àwọn ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa tẹ orí wa ba, àwa sì ń ṣòfò dànù nítorí wọn. Bá wó wa ni a ṣe lè yè?”’
11 Say to them: As I live, says the Lord God, I do not desire the death of the impious, but that the impious should convert from his way and live. Be converted, be converted from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?
Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, èmi kò ní inú dídùn sí ikú ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, kí wọ̀nyí padà kúrò ní ọ̀nà wọn gbogbo kì wọn kì ó sì yè. Yí! Yípadà kúrò ni ọ̀nà búburú gbogbo! Kí ló dé tí ìwọ yóò kú ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Israẹli?’
12 And as for you then, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The justice of the just man will not deliver him, on whatever day he will have sinned. And the impiety of the impious man will not harm him, on whatever day he will have been converted from his impiety. And the just man will not be able to live by his justice, on whatever day he will have sinned.
“Nítorí náà, ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ rẹ, ‘Ìṣòdodo ti olódodo ènìyàn kì yóò gbà á nígbà tí òun bá ṣe àìgbọ́ràn, ìwà búburú ènìyàn búburú kì yóò mú kí o ṣubú nígbà tí ó bá yí padà kúrò nínú rẹ̀. Bí olódodo ènìyàn bá ṣẹ̀, a kò ni jẹ́ kí ó yè nítorí òdodo rẹ̀ ti tẹ́lẹ̀.’
13 Even now, if I say to the just man that he shall certainly live, and so, with confidence in his justice, he commits iniquity, all his justices will be delivered into oblivion, and by his iniquity, which he has done, by this he shall die.
Bí mo bá sọ fún olódodo ènìyàn pé òun yóò yè, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé òdodo rẹ̀ tí ó sì ṣe búburú, a kò ní rántí nǹkan kan nínú iṣẹ́ òdodo tí o ti ṣe sẹ́yìn; òun yóò kú nítorí búburú tí ó ṣe.
14 And if I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ and yet he repents from his sin, and he does judgment and justice,
Bí mo bá sọ fún ènìyàn búburú pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò kú dandan,’ ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ti o sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ àti èyí tí o yẹ.
15 and if that impious man returns the collateral, and repays what he has taken by force, and if he walks in the commandments of life, and does not do anything unjust, then he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.
Tí ó bá mu ògo padà, tí o sì da ohun tí o ti jí gbé padà, tí ó sì tẹ̀lé òfin tí ó ń fún ni ní ìyè, tí kò sì ṣe búburú, òun yóò yè dandan; òun kì yóò kú.
16 None of his sins, which he has committed, will be imputed to him. He has done judgment and justice, so he shall certainly live.
A kò ní rántí ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ti dá. Ó ti ṣe èyí tí ó tọ àti èyí tí o yẹ; òun yóò sì yè dájúdájú.
17 And the sons of your people have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not a fair balance,’ even while their own way is unjust.
“Síbẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ rẹ sọ pé, ‘Ọ̀nà Olúwa kò tọ́.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà tí àwọn ní ó tọ́.
18 For when the just man will have withdrawn from his justice, and committed iniquities, he shall die by these.
Bí olódodo ènìyàn ba yípadà kúrò nínú òdodo rẹ̀, tí o sì ṣe búburú, òun yóò kú nítorí rẹ̀.
19 And when the impious man will have withdrawn from his impiety, and have done judgment and justice, he shall live by these.
Bí ènìyàn búburú bá yípadà kúrò nínú búburú rẹ̀, tí ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ àti èyí tí ó yẹ, òun yóò yè nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
20 And yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ But I shall judge each one of you according to his own ways, O house of Israel.”
Síbẹ̀, ilé Israẹli ìwọ wí pé, ‘Ọ̀nà Olúwa ki i ṣe òtítọ́.’ Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ṣe rí.”
21 And it happened that, in the twelfth year of our transmigration, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, one who had fled from Jerusalem arrived saying, “The city has been laid waste.”
Ní ọjọ́ karùn-ún oṣù kẹwàá, ọdún kejìlá ìkólọ wa, ọkùnrin kan tí ó sá kúrò ni Jerusalẹmu wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, ó sì wí pé, “Ìlú ńlá náà ti ṣubú!”
22 But the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before the one who had fled arrived. And he opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning. And since my mouth had been opened, I was no longer silent.
Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ ọjọ́ tí ó ku ọ̀la tí ẹni tí ó sálọ náà yóò dé, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì níbẹ̀ lára mi, o sì ya ẹnu mi ki ọkùnrin náà tó wá sọ́dọ̀ mi ní òwúrọ̀. Ẹnu mí sì ṣí, èmi kò sì yadi mọ́.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
24 “Son of man, as for those who live in these ruinous ways on the soil of Israel, when speaking, they say: ‘Abraham was one man, and he possessed the land as an inheritance. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.’
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń gbé nínú ìparun ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli ń wí pé, ‘Abrahamu jẹ́ ọkùnrin kan, síbẹ̀ o gba ilẹ̀ ìní náà. Ṣùgbọ́n àwa pọ̀, lóòótọ́ a ti fi ilẹ̀ náà fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní wa.’
25 Therefore, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: You who eat even the blood, and who lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and who shed blood: will you possess the land as an inheritance?
Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin jẹ ẹran pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni inú rẹ̀, tí ẹ̀yin sì wó àwọn ère yín, tí ẹ sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ha gba ilẹ̀ náà?
26 You stood by your swords, you committed abominations, and each one has defiled his neighbor’s wife. And will you possess the land as an inheritance?
Ẹ̀yin gbẹ́kẹ̀lé idà yín, ẹ̀yin ṣe nǹkan ìríra, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú yín ba á obìnrin aládùúgbò rẹ̀ jẹ́. Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gba ilẹ̀ náà?’
27 You shall say these things to them: So says the Lord God: As I live, those who live in ruinous ways will fall by the sword. And whoever is in the field will be delivered over to wild beasts to be devoured. But those who are in fortresses and in caves will die of the pestilence.
“Sọ èyí fún wọn: ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Bí mo ti wà láààyè, àwọn tí ó kúrò nínú ìparun yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú, àwọn tí ẹranko búburú yóò pajẹ, àwọn tí ó sì wà ní ilé ìṣọ́ àti inú ihò òkúta ni àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn yóò pa.
28 And I will make the land into a wilderness and a desert. And its arrogant strength will fail. And the mountains of Israel will be desolate; for there will be no one who crosses through them.
Èmi yóò mú kí ilẹ̀ náà di ahoro, ọ̀ṣọ́ ńlá agbára rẹ̀ kì yóò sí mọ́, àwọn òkè Israẹli yóò sì di ahoro, tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò ní le là á kọjá.
29 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have made their land desolate and deserted, because of all their abominations, which they have worked.
Nígbà náà, wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá mú ilẹ̀ náà di ahoro nítorí gbogbo ohun ìríra tí wọ́n ti ṣe.’
30 And as for you, O son of man: the sons of your people speak about you beside the walls and in the doorways of houses. And they speak to one another, each man to his neighbor, saying: ‘Come, and let us hear what may be the word going forth from the Lord.’
“Ní tìrẹ, ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn ènìyàn ìlú n sọ̀rọ̀ nípa rẹ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ògiri àti ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé wọn, wọ́n ń sọ sí ara wọn wí pé, ‘Ẹ wá gbọ́ iṣẹ́ ti a ran láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá.’
31 And they come to you, as if the people were entering, and my people sit before you. And they listen to your words, but they do not do them. For they turn them into a song for their mouth, but their heart pursues their own avarice.
Àwọn ènìyàn mi wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn ṣe ń ṣe, wọn sì jókòó níwájú rẹ láti fetísí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mú wá sí ìṣe. Ẹnu wọn ni wọ́n fi n sọ̀rọ̀ ìfọkànsìn, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn wọn ní ìwọra èrè tí kò tọ́.
32 And you are to them like a verse set to music, which is sung with a sweet and pleasing voice. And they hear your words, but they do not do them.
Nítòótọ́ lójú wọn, ìwọ jẹ́ ẹni kan tí ó ń kọrin ìfẹ́ pẹ̀lú ohun dídára àti ohun èlò orin kíkọ, nítorí wọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mu wá sí ìṣe.
33 And when what has been predicted occurs, for behold it is approaching, then they shall know that a prophet was among them.”
“Nígbà tí gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí bá ṣẹ tí yóò sì ṣẹ dandan, nígbà náà wọn yóò mọ̀ pé wòlíì kan ti wa láàrín wọn rí.”
