Ezekiel 14
1 And some of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
Maanguddoota Israaʼelii keessaa tokko tokko na bira dhufanii fuula koo dura tataaʼan.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
3 Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni kunneen waaqota tolfamoo garaa isaanii keessa dhaabbataniiru; fuula isaanii dura immoo dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu kaaʼaniiru. Ani akka isaan na kadhatan eeyyamuufiin qabaa?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
Kanaafuu akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yommuu namni Israaʼelii kam iyyuu garaa isaa keessa Waaqa tolfamaa dhaabbatee dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu immoo fuula isaa dura kaaʼatee raajii bira dhaqutti, ani Waaqayyo akkuma baayʼina waaqota isaa tolfamoo sanaatti nan deebisaaf.
5 That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.
Ani qalbii saba Israaʼel kanneen waaqota isaanii tolfamoof jedhanii na dhiisan sana hundaa deebisuuf waan kana nan godha.’
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
“Kanaafuu mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: qalbii jijjiirradhaa! Waaqota keessan tolfamoo irraa deebiʼaa; hojii keessan jibbisiisaa hundas dhiisaa!
7 For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself.
“‘Yommuu namni Israaʼel kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan Israaʼel keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu na dhiisee garaa isaa keessa waaqota tolfamoo dhaabbatee fuula isaa dura immoo dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu kaaʼatee waan ani jedhu gaafachuuf raajii bira dhaqutti, ani Waaqayyo mataan koo deebii nan kennaaf.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ani namicha sana miidhuuf fuula koo isatti garagalfadhee fakkeenya waan kolfaa isa nan godha. Saba koo irraas isa nan kuta. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
9 And when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel.
“‘Raajichi yoo raajii dubbachuuf gowwoomfame, ani Waaqayyo raajii sana nan gowwoomsa; harka koos isatti kaafadhee saba koo Israaʼel gidduudhaa isa nan balleessa.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
Isaan yakka isaanii ni baadhatu; raajiin sunis akkuma nama gorsa isa gaafate sanaa yakkamaa taʼa.
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts.
Kunis akka sabni Israaʼel siʼachi narraa goree yookaan deebiʼee cubbuu isaa hundaan of hin xureessineef. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
13 Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it.
“Yaa ilma namaa, yoo biyyi tokko amanamuu diduudhaan cubbuu natti hojjette ani harka koo isheetti kaasee madda nyaata ishee nan gogsa; beelas itti ergee namoota isheetii fi horii ishee jalaa nan fixa;
14 And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.
yoo namoonni sadan kunneen jechuunis Nohi, Daaniʼelii fi Iyyoob biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan qajeelummaa isaaniitiin mataa ofii isaanii qofa oolfatu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
15 And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts:
“Yookaan yoo ani guutummaa biyya sanaatti bineensa ergee bineensi sun immoo biyya sana ijoollee malee hambise, yoo hamma namni tokko iyyuu sababii bineensa sanaatiif achiin darbuu dadhabutti biyyi sun one,
16 If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo namoonni kunneen biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaanuma qofatu oolfama; biyyi sun garuu ni onti.
17 Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it:
“Yookaan yoo ani goraadee biyyattiitti fidee, ‘Goraadeen biyyattii keessa haa darbu’ jedhee namaa fi horii ishee fixe,
18 And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo namoonni kunneen biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaanuma qofatu oolfama.
19 Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
“Yookaan yoo ani biyya sanatti dhaʼicha ergee namaa fi horii ishee fixee dhiiga lolaasuudhaan dheekkamsa koo itti roobse,
20 And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo Nohi, Daaniʼelii fi Iyyoob biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaan qajeelummaa isaaniitiin mataa ofii isaanii qofa oolfatu.
21 For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast,
“Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Yeroo ani namaa fi horii ishee fixuuf murtiiwwan hadhaaʼaa afran sana jechuunis goraadee fi beela, bineensaa fi dhaʼicha Yerusaalemitti ergutti hammam wanni hamaan haa taʼu ree!
22 Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it.
Taʼus ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii kanneen ishee keessaa baafamanii baraaraman muraasni achi ni jiraatu. Isaanis gara keessan ni dhufu; isin immoo yeroo amala isaaniitii fi gocha isaanii argitanitti sababii ani Yerusaalemitti badiisa fideef jechuunis badiisa ani isheetti fide hundaaf ni jajjabaattu.
23 And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
Isin yeroo amala isaaniitii fi gocha isaanii argitanitti akka ani sababii malee homaa ishee keessatti hin godhin waan beektaniif ni jajjabaattu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
