Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them all, and set him for their watchman:
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Yeroo ani biyya tokkotti goraadee fidutti, sabni biyya sanaa namoota isaa keessaa nama tokko filatee eegduu isa godhatee,
3 if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
eegduun sun goraadee biyyattiitti dhufaa jiru argee uummata akeekkachiisuuf malakata yeroo afuufutti,
4 then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
yoo namni kam iyyuu sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhachuu didee goraadeen sun dhufee lubbuu isaa galaafate, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Inni sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa waan hin fudhatiniif dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa. Inni utuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhatee jiraatee silaa of baasa ture.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Garuu yoo eegduun sun goraadee dhufaa jiru argee namoota akeekkachiisuuf malakata afuufuu baatee goraadeen sun dhufee isaan keessaa lubbuu nama tokkoo galaafate, namichi sun sababii cubbuu isaatiif ajjeefama; eegduu sana garuu sababii dhiiga nama sanaatiif nan gaafadha.’
7 So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
“Yaa ilma namaa, ani mana Israaʼeliitiif eegduu si godheera; kanaafuu dubbii ani dubbadhu dhagaʼiitii akeekkachiisa na biraa baʼu isaaniif kenni.
8 When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Yeroo ani nama hamaa tokkoon, ‘Yaa namicha hamaa nana, ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhutti, yoo ati akka inni qalbii jijjiirratu akeekkachiisuu baatte namichi hamaan sun cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; dhiiga isaa garuu ani harka kee irraa nan barbaada.
9 But if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Garuu yoo ati nama hamaa sana akka inni karaa isaa irraa deebiʼu akeekkachiiftee inni immoo deebiʼuu baate, inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; ati garuu lubbuu kee oolfatteerta.
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should we live?
“Yaa ilma namaa, mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin akkana jettu: “Yakkii fi cubbuun keenya nutti ulfaateera; nuus sababii kanaaf nyaatamnee dhumne. Yoos akkamiin jiraachuu dandeenya ree?”’
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe, ani akka namoonni hamoon karaa isaanii irraa deebiʼanii jiraatan malee duʼa isaaniitti hin gammadu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Deebiʼaa! Karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebiʼaa! Yaa mana Israaʼel isin maaliif duutu?’
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitiin akkana jedhi; ‘Qajeelummaan nama qajeelaa yommuu inni ajajamuu didutti isa hin baasu; hamminni nama hamaas yommuu inni hammina isaa irraa deebiʼutti isa hin balleessu. Namni qajeelaan yoo cubbuu hojjete sababii qajeelummaa isaa duraatiif lubbuudhaan hin jiraatu.’
13 When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.
Yoo ani nama qajeelaa tokko akka inni dhugumaan jiraatu itti himee, inni garuu qajeelummaa isaa amanatee cubbuu hojjete, waan qajeelaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu hin yaadatamu; inni cubbuu hojjete sanaan ni duʼa.
14 And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;
Yoo ani nama cubbamaa tokkoon, ‘Ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhee inni garuu cubbuu isaa irraa deebiʼee waan sirrii fi waan qajeelaa hojjete jechuunis,
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
inni yoo qabdii waan liqeesse tokkoof fudhate deebise, yoo waan hate deebise, yoo seera jireenya namaaf kennu duukaa buʼee hammina hojjechuu baate, inni dhugumaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.
Cubbuu namichi sun hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isatti hin herregamu. Inni waan sirrii fi qajeelaa hojjeteeraatii, dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
“Taʼus namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jedhu. Garuu karaan qajeelaa hin taʼin kanuma isaanii ti.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.
Namni qajeelaan yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee hammina hojjete, inni hammina sanaan ni duʼa.
19 And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things.
Namni hamaan tokko immoo yoo hammina isaa irraa deebiʼee murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjete, inni waan kana hojjechuu isaatiin ni jiraata.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
Taʼu illee yaa mana Israaʼel isin, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jettu. Ani garuu hunda keessanitti akkuma hojii keessaniitti nan mura.”
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten!
Waggaa kudha lammaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaatti, namichi Yerusaalemii baqatee baʼe tokko gara koo dhufee, “Magaalattiin kufteerti!” jedhe.
22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
Galgala dhufaatii namichaatiin duraa sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; utuu namichi ganamaan gara koo hin dhufinis Waaqni afaan koo bane. Afaan koo banameeraatii ani lammata hin calʼisne.
23 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is given us for a possession.
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni diigama biyya Israaʼel keessa jiru keessa jiraatan akkana jedhu; ‘Abrahaam namuma tokko ture; taʼus inni biyyattii dhaale. Nu garuu baayʼee dha; biyyattiinis dhugumaan akka nu dhaalluuf nuu kennamteerti.’
25 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?
Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin foon utuma dhiigni keessa jiruu nyaattu; waaqota keessan tolfamoo abdattu; dhiiga namaas dhangalaaftu; yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
Isin goraadee keessan abdattu; waan jibbisiisaa hojjettu; tokkoon tokkoon keessan niitii ollaa keessanii xureessitu. Yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?’
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
“Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jiraataadhaatii, warri diigama keessatti hafan goraadeedhaan dhumu; warra baadiyyaa keessa jiran akka isaan nyaatamaniif bineensatti dabarsee nan kenna; warri daʼannoo fi holqa keessa jiraatan immoo dhaʼichaan ni dhumu.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolated, so that none shall pass through.
Ani biyyattii onsee duwwaa nan hambisa; humni isheen ittiin of jajjus ni dhuma; gaarran Israaʼelis akka namni tokko iyyuu irra hin qaxxaamurreef qullaa hafu.
29 And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Yeroo ani sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaan hojjetan hundaatiif biyyattii onsee duwwaa hambisutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’
30 And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.
“Waaʼee kee immoo yaa ilma namaa, namoonni biyya keetii keenyan manaa birattii fi balbala duratti waaʼee kee dubbachaa, ‘Kottaa dhaqnee ergaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufe dhageenyaa’ waliin jedhu.
31 And they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.
Sabni koo akkuma yeroo kaaniitti gara kee dhufanii dubbii kee dhagaʼuudhaaf fuula kee dura tataaʼu; isaan garuu waan sana hojiidhaan hin argisiisan. Isaan afaan isaaniitiin jaalala guddaa dubbatu; garaan isaanii garuu buʼaa hin malle argachuuf gaggaba.
32 And behold, thou art unto them as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, and one that playeth well on an instrument; and they hear thy words, but they do them not.
Dhugumaan ati isaaniif nama sagalee gaariidhaan sirba jaalalaa sirbee meeshaa sirbaa taphatu irra hin jirtuutii; isaan dubbii kee ni dhagaʼu malee hojiidhaan hin argisiisaniitii.
33 And when this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
“Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti, dhugumaan ni taʼaatii isaan gaafas akka raajiin gidduu isaanii ture ni beeku.”
