Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
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:
“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 if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn 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 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.
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 took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
“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 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?
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 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.
“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 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.
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 when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth 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 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.
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 hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; 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 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
“Síbẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ rẹ sọ pé, ‘Ọ̀nà Olúwa kò tọ́.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà tí àwọn ní ó tọ́.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.
Bí olódodo ènìyàn ba yípadà kúrò nínú òdodo rẹ̀, tí o sì ṣe búburú, òun yóò kú nítorí rẹ̀.
19 And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things.
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 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
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 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!
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 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.
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 Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
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.
“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 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?
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 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
Ẹ̀yin gbẹ́kẹ̀lé idà yín, ẹ̀yin ṣe nǹkan ìríra, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú yín ba á obìnrin aládùúgbò rẹ̀ jẹ́. Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gba ilẹ̀ náà?’
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.
“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 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.
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] Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall they know that a prophet hath been 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.”
