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 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, said 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 Will you judge them, son of man, will you 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 to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to 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 the day that I lifted up my hand to them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory 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 Then said I to them, Cast you away every man the abominations 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 listen to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle 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 worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing 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 Why 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 showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in 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 despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury on 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 worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, 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 to 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 glory 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 despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted 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 my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an 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 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk you not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, 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 my judgments, 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 you 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 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against 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 worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, 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 to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, 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 my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted 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 Why I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments 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 caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, 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 to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against 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, for the which I lifted up my hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet smell, and poured out there 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 to them, What is the high place where you go? And the name whereof is called Bamah to 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 Why say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit you prostitution 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 For when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, you pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says 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 comes into your mind shall not be at all, that you say, We will be as the heathen, 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, says the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule 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 people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Èmi yóò si mú yín jáde kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn, èmi yóò sì ṣà yín jọ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí a fọ́n yín sí pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára àti apá nínà tí èmi yóò nà jáde àti pẹ̀lú ìtújáde ìbínú gbígbóná ni.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, 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, says the Lord GOD.
Bí mo ṣe ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn baba yín nínú aginjù nílẹ̀ Ejibiti, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ yín ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
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 country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you 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 says the Lord GOD; Go you, serve you every one his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me: but pollute you my holy name no more 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, says the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Nítorí lórí òkè mímọ́ mi, lórí òkè gíga Israẹli, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, níbẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ náà ní gbogbo ilé Israẹli yóò sìn mí; èmi yóò sì tẹ́wọ́ gba wọ́n níbẹ̀. Níbẹ̀ èmi yóò béèrè ọrẹ àti ẹ̀bùn nínú àkọ́so yín pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹbọ mímọ́ yín.
41 I will accept you with your sweet smell, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
Èmi yóò tẹ́wọ́ gbà yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn nígbà tí mo ba mú yín jáde láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí a fọ́n yín ká sí, èmi yóò sì fi ìwà mímọ́ mi hàn láàrín yín lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
42 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up my hand to give it to 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 you remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein you have been defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
Níbẹ̀ ni ẹ ó wa rántí ìwà àti gbogbo ìṣesí yín, èyí tí ẹ̀yin fi sọ ara yín di aláìmọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò sì kórìíra ara yín fún gbogbo ibi tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe.
44 And you shall know that I am the LORD when I have worked with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O you house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
Nígbà náà ní ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá hùwà sí yín nítorí orúkọ mi ni, tí ń kò hùwà sí yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà ibi àti ìwà ìríra yín. Ẹ̀yin ilé Israẹli, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
45 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
46 Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, dojúkọ ìhà gúúsù; wàásù lòdì sí gúúsù kí ìwọ sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí igbó ilẹ̀ gúúsù.
47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
Sọ fún igbó ìhà gúúsù pé: ‘Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi í, èmi yóò dá iná kan nínú rẹ̀, yóò sì jó olúkúlùkù igi tútù nínú rẹ̀, àti olúkúlùkù igi gbígbẹ. Jíjò ọwọ́ iná náà ní kí yóò ṣé é pa, àti gbogbo ojú láti gúúsù dé àríwá ni a ó sun nínú rẹ̀.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Gbogbo ènìyàn yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ni ó dá a, a kì yóò sì le è pa á.’”
49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Does he not speak 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?’”
