Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto 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 unto me, saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
3 'Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their mind, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face; should I be inquired of at all by them?
“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 unto them, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his mind, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet — I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
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 I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all turned away from Me through their idols.
Ani qalbii saba Israaʼel kanneen waaqota isaanii tolfamoof jedhanii na dhiisan sana hundaa deebisuuf waan kana nan godha.’
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Return ye, and turn yourselves 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 one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from Me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, that he inquire for him of Me — 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 a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people; and ye 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 is enticed and speaketh a word, I the LORD have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him 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; the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that inquireth;
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, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be My people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.'
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 unto me, saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
13 'Son of man, when a land sinneth against Me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out My hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast;
“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 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
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 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it be desolate, so that no man may pass through 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 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be 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 a sword upon that land, and say: Let the sword go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast;
“Yookaan yoo ani goraadee biyyattiitti fidee, ‘Goraadeen biyyattii keessa haa darbu’ jedhee namaa fi horii ishee fixe,
18 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
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 send a pestilence into that land, and pour out My fury 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 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
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 GOD: How much more when I send My four sore judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from 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 And, behold, though there be left a remnant therein that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters; behold, when they come forth unto you, and ye see their way and their doings, then ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all 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 ye see their way and their doings, and ye 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.”
