< Ezekiel 14 >
1 Some elders of Israel arrived and sat down with me.
Díẹ̀ nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, wọ́n sì jókòó níwájú mi.
2 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá,
3 “Son of man, these men are worshiping idols in their minds even though they know this will lead them to sin. Why should I respond to their requests?
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ti gbé òrìṣà kalẹ̀ sínú ọkàn wọn, wọ́n sì gbé àwọn ohun tó lè mú wọn ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ síwájú wọn; Èmi yóò ha jẹ́ kí wọ́n béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi rárá bí?
4 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: When the people of Israel worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin, and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will give them an answer appropriate to their many idols.
Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Bí ẹnikẹ́ni ní ilé Israẹli tó gbé òrìṣà sí ọkàn rẹ̀, tó tún gbé ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ síwájú rẹ̀, tí ó sì wá sọ́dọ̀ wòlíì, Èmi Olúwa fúnra mi ni yóò dá ẹni tí ó wa lóhùn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà ìbọ̀rìṣà rẹ.
5 Like this I might have the people of Israel decide to recommit themselves to me. Right now, because of their idols, all of them treat me as their enemy.
Èmi yóò ṣe èyí láti gba ọkàn àwọn ará Israẹli tó ti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà wọn lọ padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.’
6 So tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Repent! Give up worshiping your idols Stop all your disgusting practices.
“Nítorí náà sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ẹ ronúpìwàdà! Ẹ yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ òrìṣà yín, kí ẹ̀yin sì kọ gbogbo ìwà ìríra yín sílẹ̀!
7 When the people of Israel or foreigners living with them worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself.
“‘Bí ẹnikẹ́ni ní ilé Israẹli tàbí àlejò tó ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli, bá ya ara rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, tó gbé òrìṣà rẹ̀ sí ọkàn rẹ̀, tó tún gbé ohun tó mú ni ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ síwájú rẹ, lẹ́yìn èyí tó tún lọ sọ́dọ̀ wòlíì láti béèrè nǹkan lọ́wọ́ mi! Èmi Olúwa fúnra ara mi ní èmi yóò dá a lóhùn.
8 I will oppose anyone who does this and make any example of them that others will talk about. I will remove them from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Èmi yóò lòdì si irú ọkùnrin bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ́nà òdì, Èmi yóò sì fi i ṣe àmì àti òwe. Èmi yóò sì gé e kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn mi. Nígbà náà, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.
9 But if the prophet is deceived into giving a message, it was I the Lord who deceived him to do this. I will still reach out and destroy that prophet from my people Israel.
“‘Bí wọ́n bá sì tan wòlíì náà láti sọtẹ́lẹ̀, Èmi Olúwa ló tan wòlíì náà, Èmi yóò nawọ́ sí i, èmi yóò sì pa á run kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli.
10 They will be responsible for the punishment they receive, as will those who believe in these prophets will receive the same punishment.
Wọn yóò ru ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn—ìjìyà kan náà là ó fún wòlíì àti ẹni tó lọ béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
11 This is so that the people of Israel won't abandon me anymore and won't make themselves unclean with all their sins. Then they will be my people and I will be their God, declares the Lord God.”
Kí ilé Israẹli má ba à ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi mọ, kí wọ́n má ba à fi gbogbo ìrékọjá ba ara wọn jẹ́ mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n kí wọ́n le jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, kí Èmi náà sì le jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
12 A message from the Lord came to me again, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
13 “Son of man, if a people in a country sin against me by being unfaithful to me, then I will act against them by cutting off their food supply, so they experience famine, with no food for people or animals.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn bí orílẹ̀-èdè kan bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí mi nípa ìwà àìṣòdodo, èmi yóò nawọ́ mi jáde sí wọn, láti gé ìpèsè oúnjẹ wọn, èmi yóò rán ìyàn sí wọn, èmi yóò sì pa ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ̀,
14 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three men, were present their good lives would only save themselves, declares the Lord God.
bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta yìí. Noa, Daniẹli àti Jobu tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ, kìkì ẹ̀mí ara wọn nìkan ni wọ́n lé fi òdodo wọn gbàlà, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
15 I could send wild animals rampaging through the country, so they would leave it uninhabited and desolate, a place no one would travel through for fear of such animals.
“Tàbí bí mo bá jẹ́ kí ẹranko búburú gba orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọjá, tí wọn sì bà á jẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó di ahoro, tí kò sí ẹni tó le gba ibẹ̀ kọjá torí ẹranko búburú yìí,
16 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would be left desolate.
bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta wọ̀nyí tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, wọn kì yóò gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin là: àwọn nìkan ni a ó gbàlà, ṣùgbọ́n ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro.
17 I could bring war to that country and say, ‘Have a sword cut through it,’ so that I destroy both people and animals.
“Tàbí tí mo bá mú idà kọjá láàrín orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí mo wí pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí idà kọjá láàrín ilẹ̀ náà,’ tí mo sì tú ìbínú gbígbóná lé wọn lórí nípa ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tí mo pa ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ.
18 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves.
Bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta yìí tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, bí mo ti wà, wọn ki yóò gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin là, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tìkára wọn nìkan ni a ó gbàlà.
19 I could send a disease on that country and because of my anger I would kill many, both people and animals.
“Tàbí bí mo rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn si ilẹ̀ náà, ti mo si da ìrunú mi lé e lórí pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀, láti gé ènìyàn àti ẹranko kúrò nínú rẹ̀,
20 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were present, they couldn't save their sons or daughters. Their good lives would only save themselves.
bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Noa, Daniẹli àti Jobu wà nínú rẹ, bí mo ti wà láààyè ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, wọn kò le gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin wọn lá. Ara wọn nìkan ni ìwà òdodo wọn lè gbàlà.
21 This is what the Lord God says: It will be so much worse when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease, so that both people and animals are killed!
“Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, báwo ni yóò ti burú tó nígbà tí mo bá rán ìdájọ́ kíkan mi mẹ́rin sórí Jerusalẹmu, èyí ni idà àti ìyàn, ẹranko búburú àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn láti pa àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ̀!
22 Even so a few of them will survive, some sons and daughters who will be taken captive. They will be brought to you in Babylon, and when you realize what they did and how they acted, you will understand why I had to bring such a disaster down on Jerusalem—everything I did to it.
Síbẹ̀, yóò ṣẹ́kù àwọn díẹ̀, àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin tí a ó kó jáde nínú rẹ̀. Wọn yóò wá bá yin, ẹ̀yin yóò rí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò rí ìtùnú nípa àjálù tí mo mú wá sórí Jerusalẹmu—àní gbogbo àjálù ní mo ti mú wá sórí rẹ̀.
23 Realizing what they did and how they acted will help you to see that I had good reasons to do everything I did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord God.”
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn, a ó tù yín nínú, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi kò ṣe nǹkan kan láìnídìí, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
