Ezekiel 20
1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹwàá, oṣù karùn-ún ọdún keje, ní díẹ̀ nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wá wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, wọn jókòó níwájú mi.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
3 'Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Are ye come to inquire of Me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli, kì ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ṣe ki ẹ lè wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi ni ẹ ṣe wá? Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi kì yóò gbà kí ẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi.’
4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
“Ìwọ fẹ́ dájọ́ wọn bí? Ìwọ fẹ́ dájọ́ wọn bí ọmọ ènìyàn? Nítorí náà fi gbogbo ìwà ìríra baba wọn kò wọ́n lójú,
5 and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up My hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up My hand unto them, saying: I am the LORD your God;
kí ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ní ọjọ́ tí mo yàn Israẹli, mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè nínú ìbúra sí àwọn ọmọ ilé Jakọbu, mo sì fi ara mi hàn wọn ní Ejibiti, mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè nínú ẹ̀jẹ́ wí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
6 in that day I lifted up My hand unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had sought out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;
Ní ọjọ́ náà mo lọ búra fún wọn pé, èmi yóò mú wọn jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti lọ sí ilẹ̀ ti mo ti wá sílẹ̀ fún wọn, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ilẹ̀ tí ó lẹ́wà jùlọ láàrín àwọn ilẹ̀ yòókù.
7 and I said unto them: Cast ye away every man the detestable things of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.
Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kí olúkúlùkù nínú yín gbé ìríra ojú rẹ̀ kúrò, kí ẹ sì má bá sọ ara yín di àìmọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
8 But they rebelled against Me, and would not hearken unto Me; they did not every man cast away the detestable things of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them, to spend My anger upon them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n wọn ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi wọn kò sì gbọ́rọ̀, wọn kò gbé àwòrán ìríra tí wọ́n dojúkọ kúrò níwájú wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò si kọ̀ àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti sílẹ̀, torí náà mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi lé wọn lórí, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ìbínú mi sẹ̀ lórí wọn ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
9 But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made Myself known unto them, so as to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe ohun tí kò ní jẹ́ kí orúkọ mi bàjẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọn ń gbé láàrín wọn, lójú àwọn ẹni tí mo ti fi ara hàn fún ara Israẹli nípa mímú wọn jáde ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
10 So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Nítorí náà, mo mú wọn jáde ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti mo sì mú wọn wá sínú aginjù.
11 And I gave them My statutes, and taught them Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
Mo sì fún wọn ni òfin mi, mo sì fi àwọn òfin mi hàn wọ́n; nítorí pé ẹni tó bá ṣe wọ́n yóò yè nípa wọn.
12 Moreover also I gave them My sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo fún wọn ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì láàrín àwọn àti èmi, kí wọn lè mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa tó sọ wọn di mímọ́.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they walked not in My statutes, and they rejected Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them, and My sabbaths they greatly profaned; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
“‘Síbẹ̀; ilé Israẹli ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mí nínú aginjù. Wọn kò tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn sì kọ àwọn òfin mi sílẹ̀ bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹni tó bá pa á mọ́ yóò yè nínú rẹ̀. Wọn sì sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Nítorí náà, mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi sórí wọn, èmi yóò sì pa wọ́n run nínú aginjù.
14 But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe ohun tí kò ní mú kí orúkọ mi bàjẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo kó wọn jáde.
15 Yet also I lifted up My hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;
Nítorí náà, mo tún gbọ́wọ́ mi sókè ní ìbúra fún wọn nínú aginjù pé, èmi kì yóò mú wọn dé ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún wọn—ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ilẹ̀ tí ó lẹ́wà jùlọ láàrín àwọn ilẹ̀ yòókù.
16 because they rejected Mine ordinances, and walked not in My statutes, and profaned My sabbaths — for their heart went after their idols.
Nítorí pé, wọn kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀, wọn kò sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi dí aláìmọ́. Nítorí pé tọkàntọkàn ni wọn ń tẹ̀lé òrìṣà wọn.
17 Nevertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ mo wò wọ́n pẹ̀lú àánú, ń kò sì pa wọ́n run tàbí kí òpin dé bá wọn nínú aginjù.
18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness: Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols;
Ṣùgbọ́n mo sọ fún àwọn ọmọ wọn nínú aginjù pé, “Ẹ má ṣe rìn ní ìlànà àwọn baba yín, ẹ má ṣe pa òfin wọn mọ́, ẹ má ṣe bá ara yín jẹ́ pẹ̀lú òrìṣà wọn.
19 I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them;
Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ẹ tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, kí ó sì pa òfin mi mọ́.
20 and hallow My sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Ẹ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi sí mímọ́ kí ó lè jẹ́ àmì láàrín wa, ki ẹ lè mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
21 But the children rebelled against Me; they walked not in My statutes, neither kept Mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned My sabbaths; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them, to spend My anger upon them in the wilderness.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ náà ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi. Wọn kò tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn kò sì pa òfin mi mọ́ bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹni tó bá tẹ̀lé àwọn òfin yìí, yóò yè nínú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́. Nítorí náà, mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú mi lórí wọn, Èmi yóò sì mú kí ìbínú gbígbóná mi wá sórí wọn ni aginjù.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew My hand, and wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ mo dáwọ́ dúró, nítorí orúkọ mi, mo sì ṣe ohun tí kò ní ba orúkọ mi jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ti mo kó wọn jáde lójú wọn.
23 I lifted up My hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ ti mo gbé sókè sí wọn, mo búra fún wọn nínú aginjù pé èmi yóò tú wọn ka sì àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì fọ́n wọn káàkiri ilẹ̀ gbogbo,
24 because they had not executed Mine ordinances, but had rejected My statutes, and had profaned My sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
nítorí pé wọn kò pa òfin mi mọ́, wọn sì tún kọ àṣẹ mi sílẹ̀, wọn tún sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́. Ojú wọn sì wà ní ara òrìṣà baba wọn.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
Èmi náà sì fi wọn fún ìlànà tí kò dára àti òfin tí wọn kò le e yè nípa rẹ̀;
26 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they set apart all that openeth the womb, that I might destroy them, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
mo jẹ́ kí ó sọ wọn di aláìmọ́ nípa ẹ̀bùn nípa fífi àkọ́bí ọmọ wọn rú ẹbọ sísun, àkọ́bí wọn la iná kọjá, kí èmi sọ wọ́n di ahoro, kí wọn le mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.’
27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed Me, in that they dealt treacherously with Me.
“Nítorí náà, Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún ilé Israẹli kí ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ní ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, nínú èyí tí baba yín ti sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi, nípa kíkọ̀ mí sílẹ̀.
28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I lifted up My hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering, there also they made their sweet savour, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.
Nítorí nígbà tí mo mú wọn dé ilẹ̀ náà, tí mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè láti fi í fún wọn, nígbà náà ni wọ́n rí olúkúlùkù òkè gíga, àti gbogbo igi bíbò, wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ wọn níbẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbé ìmúnibínú ọrẹ wọ́n kalẹ̀ níbẹ̀; níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni wọ́n ṣe òórùn dídùn wọn, wọ́n sì ta ohun ọrẹ mímu sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀.
29 Then I said unto them: What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go? So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Nígbà náà ni mo wí fún wọn pé, kí ní ibi gíga tí ẹ̀yin lọ yìí?’” (Orúkọ rẹ̀ ni a sì ń pè ní Bama di òní yìí.)
30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: When ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers, and go after their abominations,
“Nítorí náà sọ fún ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ṣé o fẹ́ ba ara rẹ jẹ́ bi àwọn baba rẹ ṣe ṣe, tiwọn ń ṣe àgbèrè nípa títẹ̀lé àwọn àwòrán ìríra?
31 and when, in offering your gifts, in making your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, unto this day; shall I then be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you;
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá san ọrẹ yìí, ìrúbọ ọmọkùnrin ọmọ yín, tí ẹ mú ọmọ yin la iná kọjá, ẹ̀yin ń tẹ̀síwájú láti ba ara yín jẹ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà yín títí di òní yìí, ẹ̀yin yóò ha jẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi, ìwọ ilé Israẹli? Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi ki yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi.
32 and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all; in that ye say: We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
“‘Ẹ̀yin wí pé, “Àwa fẹ́ dàbí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù, bí àwọn ènìyàn ayé, tó ń bọ igi àti òkúta.” Ṣùgbọ́n ohun ti ẹ ni lọ́kàn kò ní ṣẹ rárá.
33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I be king over you;
Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò jẹ ọba lórí yín pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára tí èmi yóò nà jáde pẹ̀lú ìtújáde ìbínú gbígbóná mi.
34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;

35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Èmi yóò si mú yín wá sí aginjù àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, níbẹ̀ ni ojúkójú ni èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ lé e yín lórí.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
Èmi yóò kíyèsi i yín bí mo ti mú un yín kọjá lábẹ́ ọ̀pá, èmi yóò sì mú yín wá sí abẹ́ ìdè májẹ̀mú.
38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against Me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Èmi yóò si ṣa àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ kúrò láàrín yín, àti àwọn o lù re òfin kọjá, èmi yóò mu wọn jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ tiwọn gbé ṣe àtìpó, wọn ki yóò si wọ ilẹ̀ Israẹli. Nígbà náà ní ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi ní Olúwa.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD: Go ye, serve every one his idols, even because ye will not hearken unto Me; but My holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
“‘Ní tí ẹ̀yin, ilé Israẹli, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kí olúkúlùkù yín lọ máa sìn òrìṣà rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn èyí, ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin kò sí ní i bá orúkọ mímọ́ mi jẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ àti àwọn òrìṣà yín mọ́.
40 For in My holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve Me in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings, and the first of your gifts, with all your holy things.

41 With your sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

42 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up My hand to give unto your fathers.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ o mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá mú yín wa sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli; sí ilẹ̀ tí mo gbọ́wọ́ mí sókè nínú ẹ̀jẹ́ láti fún àwọn baba yín.
43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

44 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for My name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.'

45 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
46 'Son of man, set thy face toward the South, and preach toward the South, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

47 and say to the forest of the South: Hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree, it shall not be quenched, even a flaming flame; and all faces from the south to the north shall be seared thereby.

49 Then said I: 'Ah Lord GOD! they say of me: Is he not a maker of parables?'
Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Wọn ń wí fún mi pé, ‘Kì í wa ṣe pé òwe lo ń pa bí?’”
