Ezekiel 22
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 “So, son of man, are you ready to judge them? Are you ready to judge the people of this city that have caused so much bloodshed? Make them face all the disgusting things they've done,
“Ọmọ ènìyàn ǹjẹ́ ìwọ yóò ha ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha ṣe ìdájọ́ ìlú atàjẹ̀sílẹ̀? Tó bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀ dojúkọ wọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìwà ìríra wọn.
3 and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You are a city who has caused your own doom by murdering people within your walls, and by making idols to worship that made you unclean.
Kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwọ ìlú ńlá tí ó mú ìparun wá sórí ara rẹ nípa títàjẹ̀sílẹ̀ ní àárín rẹ, tí ó sì ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ nípa ṣíṣe àwọn ère.
4 You are guilty of murder, and you have made yourself unclean by the idols you've made. You have shortened your lives—your time is up! That's why other people taunt you—everyone mocks you.
Ìwọ ti jẹ̀bi nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀, àti pé àwọn ère tí ó ṣe tí bà ọ́ jẹ́. Ìwọ tí mú ọjọ́ rẹ súnmọ́ tòsí, ìparí àwọn ọdún rẹ sì ti dé. Nítorí náà èmi yóò fi ọ ṣe ohun ẹ̀gàn lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ohun ẹ̀sín lójú gbogbo ìlú.
5 People far and near will laugh at you, you corrupt city full of confusion!
Àwọn tí ó wà ní tòsí àti àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ, yóò fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, ìwọ ìlú ẹlẹ́gàn, tí ó kún fún làálàá.
6 Look at how all of your leaders in Israel use their power to murder.
“‘Wo bí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin ọba Israẹli tí ó wà nínú yín ti ń lo agbára rẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
7 You despise your parents. You exploit the foreigners who live with you, and you mistreat orphans and widows.
Nínú rẹ wọn ti hùwà sí baba àti ìyá pẹ̀lú ìfojú tínrín; nínú rẹ wọn ti ni àwọn àlejò lára, wọn sì hùwàkiwà sí aláìní baba àti opó.
8 You detest my holy things and violate my Sabbaths.
Ìwọ tí kọ àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi sílẹ̀, ìwọ sì ti lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní ìlòkulò.
9 Living among you are people who falsely accuse others in order to put them to death. You also have those who eat religious meals at pagan shrines in the mountains, and commit immoral acts within the city.
Nínú rẹ ni àwọn ayannijẹ ènìyàn pinnu láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; nínú rẹ ní àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní orí òkè ojúbọ òrìṣà, wọn sì hùwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́.
10 Some of those living in the city have sex with their father's wives or with women during their period.
Nínú rẹ ní àwọn ti kò bu ọlá fún àwọn àkéte baba wọn; nínú rẹ ni àwọn tí o ń bá àwọn obìnrin lò nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣe àkókò lọ́wọ́, ní àsìkò tí a ka wọn sì aláìmọ́.
11 You're home to evil men. One does disgusting things with someone else's wife. Another seduces his daughter-in-law, while another rapes his sister, the daughter of his own father.
Nínú rẹ ọkùnrin kan ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìríra pẹ̀lú aya aládùúgbò rẹ̀, òmíràn bá ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́, òmíràn sì bá arábìnrin rẹ̀ lòpọ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ọbàkan rẹ̀.
12 Your people take money to murder others. You charge interest and make a profit on loans, and use extortion to get money from your neighbors. You have forgotten all about me, declares the Lord God.
Nínú rẹ àwọn ènìyàn gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ìwọ gba èlé ìlọ́po láti mú aláìṣòótọ́ jèrè láti ara aládùúgbò rẹ nípa ìrẹ́jẹ. Ìwọ sì ti gbàgbé èmi; ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
13 So watch out! I clap my hands in condemnation at your dishonest profiteering and at all your murders.
“‘Èmi yóò kúkú pàtẹ́wọ́ lórí èrè àìmọ̀ tí ìwọ ti jẹ, àti lórí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀ ní àárín yín.
14 Are you going to be so brave, and will you be strong enough to defend yourselves when it comes time for me to deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I'm going to act.
Ọkàn rẹ le gbà á, tàbí ọwọ́ rẹ lè le, ní ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò bá ọ ṣé? Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, Èmi yóò sì ṣe é.
15 I'm going to scatter you among the nations and the different countries. I will put a stop to your unclean acts.
Èmi yóò tú yin ká ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò fọ́n ọ ká sí àwọn ìlú; èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí àìmọ́ rẹ.
16 For when everyone else sees how you've made yourselves unclean, then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
Nígbà tí a ó bà ọ́ jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
17 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
18 “Son of man, the people of Israel have ended up like the impurities left over from refining metal. They're all like copper, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace—they are just the impurities left from refining silver.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, ilé Israẹli ti di ìdàrọ́ sí mi; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ bàbà, idẹ, irin àti òjé ti a fi sínú iná ìléru. Wọn jẹ́ ìdàrọ́ ti fàdákà.
19 So this is what the Lord God says: Because all of you have ended up like impurities, watch as I collect you together in Jerusalem.
Nítorí náà èyí yìí ni ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: ‘Nítorí tí ìwọ ti di ìdàrọ́, èmi yóò kó yín jọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
20 In the same way a refiner collects silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin and puts them in the blast furnace to melt them with fire, I'm going to collect you in my burning anger, and keep you there until I melt you.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn ṣe ń kó fàdákà, bàbà, irin, òjé àti idẹ jọ sínú iná ìléru láti fi iná yọ́ ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò kó ọ jọ ní ìbínú àti ìrunú mi, èmi yóò sì fi ọ sì àárín ìlú, èmi yóò sì yọ́ ọ. Níbẹ̀ ní ìwọ yóò sì ti yọ́.
21 I'm going to collect you all together and blast you with the fire of my anger, and you'll be melted there in the city.
Èmi yóò kó yín jọ, èmi o sì fín iná ìbínú mi si yin lára, ẹ o si di yíyọ́ láàrín rẹ̀.
22 Just as silver is melted in a furnace, so you'll be melted in the city. Then you will realize that I, the Lord, have made you experience my anger.”
Bí a ti ń yọ́ fàdákà nínú iná ìléru bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ní ìwọ yóò ṣe yọ́ nínú rẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ wí pé, Èmi Olúwa ti tú ìbínú mi sórí rẹ.’”
23 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
24 “Son of man, tell the city of Jerusalem, at the time of punishment, you are a country that has not been made clean, a place where no rain has fallen,
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún ilẹ̀ náà, ‘Ìwọ ní ilẹ̀ tí kò gbá mọ́, ti kò sì rọ òjò tàbí ìrì ní àkókò ìbínú.’
25 Her leaders conspire together and it's like watching a roaring lion ripping up its prey. They destroy the people, grab everything that's valuable, and make many more widows in the city.
Ìdìtẹ̀ sì wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-aládé inú rẹ̀, tó dàbí bíbú kìnnìún tó ń fà ẹran ya, wọ́n ń ba àwọn ènìyàn jẹ́, wọ́n ń kó ìṣúra àti àwọn ohun iyebíye wọ́n sì ń sọ púpọ̀ di opó nínú rẹ̀.
26 Her priests pervert my law and make my holy things unclean. They don't distinguish between what is holy and what is ordinary, and they don't separate the clean from the unclean. They forget about my Sabbaths, and they lead people to treat me with no respect.
Àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ ti rú òfin mi, wọn si ti sọ ohun mímọ́ mi di àìlọ́wọ̀: wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ sáàrín ohun mímọ́ àti àìlọ́wọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ hàn láàrín ohun àìmọ́, àti mímọ́, wọn sì ti fi ojú wọn pamọ́ kúrò ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi, mó sì dí ẹni àìlọ́wọ̀ láàrín wọn.
27 Her city officials are like wolves ripping up their prey, killing people, destroying lives so they can profit through fraud.
Àwọn ọmọ-aládé àárín rẹ̀ dàbí ìkookò ti ń ṣọdẹ, láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láti pa ọkàn run, láti jèrè àìṣòótọ́.
28 Her prophets cover up what they do, using false visions as whitewash and prophecies that are lies, saying, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord hasn't said anything.
Àti àwọn wòlíì rẹ́ ti ṣẹ̀tàn sí wọn, wọn ń rì ìran asán, wọn sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ èké sí wọn, wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí,’ nígbà tí ó ṣépè Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀.
29 The people of this country are extortioners and robbers. They mistreat the poor and those in need and exploit the foreigners, treating them totally unfairly.
Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà, tí lo ìwà ìninilára, wọn sì já olè, wọn sì ni àwọn tálákà àti aláìní lára; nítòótọ́, wọn tí ní àlejò lára láìnídìí. Kò sì ṣí ìdájọ́ òdodo.
30 I tried to find one of them repair the wall and defend the gap so when I came I wouldn't destroy it—but I couldn't find anyone.
“Èmi si wá ẹnìkan láàrín wọn, tí ìbá tún odi náà mọ́, tí ìbá dúró ní ibi tí ó ya náà níwájú mi fún ilẹ̀ náà, kí èmi má bá à parun: ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò rí ẹnìkan.
31 So I have let them experience my hostility, burning them up with the fire of my anger. I have made sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done, declares the Lord God.”
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe da ìbínú mi sí wọn lórí, mo ti fi iná ìbínú mi run wọn, mo si ti fi ọ̀nà wọn gbẹ̀san lórí ara wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
