< Ezekiel 12 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
2 “Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, ìwọ ń gbé ní àárín ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn. Wọ́n lójú láti fi ríran, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ríran, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n létí láti fi gbọ́rọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọ́rọ̀, torí pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn ni wọ́n.
3 So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.
“Nítorí náà, ọmọ ènìyàn, palẹ̀ ẹrù rẹ mọ́ láti lọ sí ìgbèkùn, ní ọ̀sán gangan ní ojú wọn, kúrò láti ibi tí ìwọ wà lọ sí ibòmíràn. Bóyá bí wọ́n bá rí ọ, wọn yóò sì ronú bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni wọ́n.
4 Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.
Di ẹrù ìgbèkùn rẹ lójú wọn ní ọ̀sán án gangan, nígbà tí ó bá sì di alẹ́, ní ojú wọn, máa lọ sí ìgbèkùn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn tí ó lọ ìgbèkùn ṣe máa ń ṣe.
5 While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.
Dá ògiri lu ní ojú wọn, kí ìwọ sì gba ibẹ̀ kó ẹrù rẹ jáde.
6 When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”
Gbé ẹrù rẹ lé èjìká ní ojú wọn, bo ojú rẹ, kí ìwọ má ba à rí ilẹ̀, sì ru ẹrù rẹ lọ ní alẹ́ nítorí pé mo fi ọ́ ṣe àmì fún ilé Israẹli.”
7 So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.
Mo ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún mi. Mo kó ẹrù mi jáde ní ọ̀sán án láti lọ fun ìgbèkùn. Nígbà tó di ìrọ̀lẹ́, mo dá ògiri lu pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ mi. Mo sì gbe ẹrù mi lé èjìká nínú òkùnkùn ní ojú wọn.
8 In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
9 “Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, ǹjẹ́ ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé Israẹli tilẹ̀ bi ọ́ pé, ‘Kí ni ohun tí o ń ṣe túmọ̀ sí?’
10 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’
“Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ọ̀rọ̀-ìjìnlẹ̀ yìí kan àwọn ọmọ-aládé Jerusalẹmu àti gbogbo ilé Israẹli tí ó wà ní àárín rẹ.
11 You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.
Sọ fún wọn pé, Èmi jẹ́ àmì fún yín’. “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó ṣe sí wọn. Wọn ó kó lọ sí ìgbèkùn. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni ti a dè ní ìgbèkùn.
12 When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.
“Ọmọ-aládé tí ó wà ní àárín wọn yóò di ẹrù rẹ̀ lé èjìká ní alẹ́ yóò sì jáde lọ, òun náà yóò da ògiri lu kí ó le gba ibẹ̀ jáde. Yóò sì bo ojú rẹ̀ kí ó má ba à rí ilẹ̀.
13 But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.
Èmi yóò ta àwọ̀n mi lé e lórí, yóò sì kó sínú okùn, Èmi yóò sì mú lọ sí Babeli, ní ilẹ̀ Kaldea, ṣùgbọ́n kò ní fojúrí ilẹ̀ náà ibẹ̀ ni yóò kú sí.
14 I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.
Gbogbo àwọn tó yí i ká láti ràn án lọ́wọ́ ọ̀pá ìtẹ̀lẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò túká sí afẹ́fẹ́, èmi yóò sì tún fi idà lé wọn kiri.
15 They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.
“Wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa nígbà tí mo bá tú wọn ká ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí mo sì fọ́n wọn ká sí ilẹ̀ káàkiri.
16 But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò ṣẹ́ díẹ̀ kù lára wọn, ní ọwọ́ idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, kí wọn le jẹ́wọ́ gbogbo ìṣe ìríra wọn ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.”
17 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
18 “Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ oúnjẹ rẹ pẹ̀lú ìwárìrì, sì mu omi rẹ pẹ̀lú ìwárìrì àti àìbalẹ̀ àyà.
19 Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.
Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí fún àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu àti ilẹ̀ Israẹli pé, pẹ̀lú àìbalẹ̀ àyà ni wọn yóò máa jẹun wọn, wọn yóò sì mu omi pẹ̀lú àìnírètí, kí ilẹ̀ wọn lè di ahoro torí ìwà ipá àwọn tó ń gbé ibẹ̀.
20 The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
Ìlú tó jẹ́ ibùgbé ènìyàn tẹ́lẹ̀ yóò di òfo, ilẹ̀ náà yóò sì di ahoro. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
21 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pé:
22 “Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, irú òwe wo ni ẹ pa nílẹ̀ Israẹli pé: ‘A fa ọjọ́ gùn, gbogbo ìran di asán’?
23 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.
Nítorí náà wí fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò fi òpin sí òwe yìí, wọn kò ní ipa mọ́ ní Israẹli.’ Sọ fún wọn, ‘Ọjọ́ náà súnmọ́ tòsí nígbà tí gbogbo ìran àti ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ yóò sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
24 There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,
Nítorí kò ní sí ìran asán tàbí àfọ̀ṣẹ tí ó ń pọ́n ni mọ́ ní àárín ilé Israẹli.
25 because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”
Ṣùgbọ́n, Èmi Olúwa yóò sọ̀rọ̀, ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo sọ yóò sì ṣẹ láì falẹ̀. Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ní àsìkò yín, ẹ̀yin ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni Èmi yóò mú ọ̀rọ̀ yówù tí mo bá sọ ṣẹ.’”
26 An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pé:
27 “Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, ilé Israẹli ń wí pé, ‘Ìran ọjọ́ pípẹ́ ni ìwọ rí, ìwọ sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa àsìkò tó jìnnà réré.’
28 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
“Nítorí náà sọ fún wọn, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, kò sí ọ̀kan nínú ọ̀rọ̀ mi tí yóò sún síwájú mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo bá sọ yóò ṣẹ.’”
