Ezekiel 11
1 Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
Hafuurri ol na fuudhee gara balbala mana Waaqayyoo kan gara baʼaa ilaaluutti na fide. Achis karra balbala sanaa dura namoota digdamii shantu ture; anis isaan gidduutti hooggantoota sabaa Yaazaniyaa ilma Azurii fi Phelaatiyaa ilma Benaayaa nan arge.
2 The Lord told me, “Son of man, it's these men who are making evil plans and giving bad advice to the people in this city.
Waaqayyos akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, isaan kunneen namoota magaalaa kana keessatti hammina malanii fi gorsa hamaa gorsanii dha.
3 They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’
Isaanis, ‘Yeroon itti manneen ijaaraman gaʼeera mitii? Magaalattiin kun okkotee waa itti affeelanii dha; nu immoo ishee keessatti foon’ jedhan.
4 So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”
Kanaafuu isaanitti raajii dubbadhu; yaa ilma namaa raajii dubbadhu.”
5 The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and told me to say: This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, that's what you're saying! I know what you're thinking inside!
Ergasii Hafuurri Waaqayyoo narra buʼee akkana naan jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Yaa mana Israaʼel isin akkas jettu; ani garuu waan isin qalbii keessanitti yaaddan nan beeka.
6 You murder more and more people in this city. You've filled its streets with the dead!
Isin magaalaa kana keessatti namoota hedduu ajjeeftanii daandii ishee reeffaan guuttaniirtu.
7 So this is what the Lord God says: Those you've killed in this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I'm going to take you out of it.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Reeffi isin achitti gattan foon; magaalaan kun immoo okkotee dha; ani garuu magaalaa kana keessaa isinan baasa.
8 You're afraid of being killed by the sword, so I will bring invaders with swords to attack you, declares the Lord God.
Isin goraadee sodaattu; wanni ani isinitti fidu immoo goraadeedha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
9 I'm going to take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners, and I'm going to carry out my sentence against you.
Ani magaalaa keessaa isin baasee alagaatti dabarsee isin kennee isinan adaba.
10 You will be killed by the sword, and I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Isin goraadeedhaan dhumtu; anis daangaa Israaʼel irratti isinitti mura. Kanaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
11 The city won't be like a pot for you, and you won't be the meat inside it either. I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel.
Magaalaan kun okkotee isinii hin taatu yookaan isin achi keessatti foon hin taatan; anis daangaa Israaʼel irratti isinitti nan mura.
12 Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow my rules and you didn't keep my laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”
Isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu; sirna saboota naannoo keessan jiraatanii duukaa buutan malee seera koo hin eegne yookaan naamusa koo hin eegneetii.”
13 While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell facedown on the ground and shouted loudly, “Lord God, are you going to completely destroy what's left of the people of Israel?”
Utuma ani raajii dubbachaa jiruu Phelaatiyaan ilmi Benaayaa duʼe. Kana irratti ani addaan lafatti gombifamee, “Ani bade yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa! Ati hambaa Israaʼel guutumaan guutuutti balleessitaa?” jedheen sagalee guddaadhaan iyye.
14 A message from Lord came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
15 “Son of man, your brothers, including your relatives, your fellow exiles, and all the other Israelites, are those the people of Jerusalem were referring to when they said, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This country was given to us and we are to own it.’
“Yaa ilma namaa, obboloota kee jechuunis obboloota kee kanneen firoota kee dhiigaatii fi manni Israaʼel guutuun kanneen namoonni Yerusaalem, ‘Isaan Waaqayyo irraa fagaataniiru; biyyi kunis akka handhuuraatti nuuf kennamteerti’ jedhaniinii dha.
16 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Even though I sent them far away to live among the foreign nations, scattering them among the different countries, I have been taking care of them for a while in the countries where they went.
“Kanaafuu akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota gidduutti fageessee isaan ergee biyyoota keessa isaan faffacaasu iyyuu, amma illee yeroo xinnoof biyyoota isaan dhaqan keessatti isaaniif iddoo qulqullummaa taʼeera.’
17 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to gather you from the other nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered, and I will return the country of Israel to you.
“Kanaafuu akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota keessaa walitti isin qabee biyyoota itti bittinnooftan keessaa deebisee isin nan fida; biyya Israaʼelis deebisee isiniif nan kenna.’
18 When they come back, they are going to get rid of all its offensive idols and disgusting practices from the country.
“Isaan biyyattiitti deebiʼanii wantoota ishee jibbisiisoo hundaa fi wantoota ishee balfamoo hunda ishee keessaa ni balleessu.
19 I will give them single-minded commitment and a whole new spirit. I will take away their hard-hearted attitude and replace it with one that is loving.
Ani garaa gargar hin qoodamne isaaniif nan kenna; hafuura haaraas isaan keessa nan kaaʼa; garaa isaanii isa dhagaa isaan keessaa baasee garaa foonii nan kennaaf.
20 This way they can follow my rules, keep my regulations, and do what I say. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Isaanis sirna koo duukaa buʼu; seera kootiifis ni ajajamu. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
21 But for those who still choose to worship offensive idols and engage in disgusting practices, I will let them experience the consequences of their own actions, declares the Lord God.”
Warra qalbiin isaanii fakkiiwwan isaanii kanneen faayidaa hin qabnee fi waaqota isaanii tolfamoo jibbisiisoo sanaan fudhatame garuu ani waan isaan hojjetan matuma isaaniitti nan deebisa jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
22 Then the cherubim opened their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them, and with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
Ergasiis kiirubeeliin qoochoowwan isaanii diriirfatan; geengoowwanis isaan cina turan; ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼel immoo isaan gubbaadhaan ture.
23 The glory of the Lord rose from inside the city and went over to the mountain to the east of the city.
Ulfinni Waaqayyoos magaalaa keessaa ol baʼee tulluu baʼa magaalattiitiin jiru gubbaadhaan dhaabate.
24 In the vision given to me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit picked me up and carried me back to Babylonia to where the exiles were. After the vision left me,
Hafuurri ol na fuudhee mulʼata Hafuura Waaqaatiin gara boojiʼamtoota biyya Baabilon jiraniitti na fide. Ergasiis mulʼanni ani argee ture sun na dhiisee ol baʼe;
25 I explained to the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.
anis waan Waaqayyo na argisiise hunda boojiʼamtootatti nan hime.
