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 enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Waggaa torbaffaa, jiʼa shanaffaa keessa guyyaa kudhannaffaatti maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa tokko tokko waan Waaqayyo jedhu gaafachuuf dhufanii fuula koo dura tataaʼan.
2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are all of you come to enquire of me? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
“Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii maanguddoota Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin yaada koo gaafachuu dhuftanii? Ani jiraataadhaatii, ani akka isin yaada koo gaafattaniif isinii hin eeyyamu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
“Ati isaanitti murtaa? Yaa ilma namaa, ati isaanitti murtaa? Ergasiis akka isaan hojiiwwan abbootii isaanii jibbisiisoo sana beekan godhi;
5 And say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
akkanas isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani gaafan Israaʼel filadhetti harka koo ol qabadhee sanyii mana Yaaqoobiif kakachuudhaan biyya Gibxi keessatti isaanitti of mulʼiseera. Harka koo ol kaasee, “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan” isaaniin jedheera.
6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them out 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:
Gaafas ani biyya Gibxii isaan baasee biyya ani isaaniif file kan aannanii fi damma baastu, biyya biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdutti isaan galchuudhaaf isaaniif nan kakadhe.
7 Then said I unto them, Cast all of you away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan wantoota jibbisiisoo kan iji keessan itti gammadu sana balleessaa; waaqota Gibxiinis of hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.”
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto 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 upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
“‘Isaan garuu natti fincilanii na dhagaʼuu didan; wantoota jibbisiisoo iji isaanii itti gammade sanas hin balleessine yookaan waaqota Gibxi tolfamoo sanas hin dhiisne. Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxi keessatti aarii koo isaanitti baʼuudhaaf dheekkamsa koo isaan irratti nan dhangalaasa jedheen ture.
9 But I wrought 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 unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota Israaʼeloonni gidduu isaanii jiraatan kanneen ani Israaʼeloota biyya Gibxii baasuudhaan fuula isaanii duratti of beeksise sanaa duratti hin xuroofne gochuudhaaf maqaa kootiif jedheen hojjedhe.
10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxii isaan baaseen gammoojjiitti isaan fide.
11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
Akka namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraatuuf ani sirnawwan koo isaaniif nan kenne; seerawwan koos isaanitti nan beeksise.
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.
Akkasumas akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo isaan qulqulleesse beekaniif, akka anaa fi isaan gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbatoota koo isaaniif nan kenne.
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 upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
“‘Manni Israaʼel garuu gammoojjii keessatti natti fincile. Sirna koo isa namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu isa hin eegne; seera koos ni tuffatan. Sanbatoota koos guutumaan guutuutti xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti isaanan barbadeessa jedhen ture.
14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota utuma iji isaanii arguu Israaʼelin achii baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef maqaa kootiif jedhee waan kana nan hojjedhe.
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 glory of all lands;
Akkasumas biyya ani isaaniif kenne kan biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdu kan aannanii fi damma baastutti akka isaan hin galchine harka koo ol qabadhee gammoojjii keessatti isaanitti nan kakadhe;
16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
kunis waan isaan seera koo tuffataniif, sirna koo duukaa hin buʼinii fi Sanbatoota koo xureessaniif. Yaadni isaanii waaqota isaanii tolfamoo faana buʼeeraatii.
17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
Taʼus ani gara laafinaanan isaan ilaale malee isaan hin balleessine yookaan gammoojjii keessatti isaan hin fixne.
18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk all of you not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
Ani gammoojjii keessatti ijoollee isaaniitiin akkana nan jedhe; “Sirna abbootii keessanii duukaa hin buʼinaa yookaan seera isaanii hin eeginaa yookaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoon of hin xureessinaa.
19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan; sirna koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koos of eeggannaadhaan eegaa.
20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that all of you may know that I am the LORD your God.
Akka inni nu gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbata koo qulqullinaan eegaa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan taʼe ni beektu.”
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 upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
“‘Ijoolleen isaanii garuu natti fincilan; isaan sirna koo isa, “Namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu” sana duukaa hin buune; seera koos of eeggannoodhaan hin eegne. Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti aarii koo isaanitti nan baʼa jedheen ture.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Ani garuu maqaa kootiif jedhee akka maqaan koo fuula saboota ani utuma isaan ilaalanuu achii isaan baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef harka koo dachaafadhe.
23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
Akkasumas ani gammoojjii keessatti harka koo ol qabadhee akkan saboota gidduutti isaan faffacaasuu fi biyyoota keessa isaan bittinneessu fuula isaanii duratti nan kakadhe;
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.
isaan seera kootiif ajajamuu didan; sirna koos ni tuffatan; Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan; iji isaaniis waaqota tolfamoo kan abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼe.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
Anis sirna gaarii hin taʼinii fi seera isaan itti hin jiraannetti dabarseen isaan kenne;
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.
anis sodaadhaan isaan guutuufan aarsaa isaan ilmaan isaanii hangafa dhiʼeessuudhaan kennan sanaan akka isaan xuraaʼan nan godha; kanas ani akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe beekaniifan godhe.’
27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Kanaanis abbootiin keessan na gananii na arrabsan;
28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine 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 savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
yeroo ani gara biyya ani isaaniif kennuuf kakadhee ture sanaatti isaan galchee isaan immoo gaara ol dheeraa kam iyyuu yookaan muka lalisaa kam iyyuu arganitti, isaan achitti aarsaa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; aariif na kakaasuuf jedhanii qalma dhiʼeessan; ixaana isaanii urgaaʼaa dhiʼeessanii dhibaayyuu isaaniis dhibaafatan.
29 Then I said unto them, What is the high place unto which all of you go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Anis lafti ol dheeraan isin dhaqxan kun maal?’ isaaniin jedhe.” Hamma harʼaatti lafti sun Baamaa jedhamee waamama.
30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are all of you polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit all of you whoredom after their abominations?
“Kanaaf mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin akkuma abbootii keessanii of xureessitanii hawwii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaaniitiin gubattanii?
31 For when all of you offer your gifts, when all of you make your sons to pass through the fire, all of you pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Isin yeroo kennaa keessan dhiʼeessitanii ilmaan keessan ibiddaan aarsaa gootanitti, hamma harʼaatti ittuma fuftanii waaqota keessan tolfamoo hundaan of xureessitan. Yaa mana Israaʼel, akka isin na kadhattani ani isiniif nan eeyyamaa? Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; akka isin na kadhattan ani isiniif hin eeyyamu.
32 And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that all of you say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
“‘Isin, “Nu akka sabootaa, akka uummata addunyaa kanneen mukaa fi dhagaadhaaf sagadan sanaa taʼuu feena” jettu. Garuu wanni isin garaatti yaaddan gonkumaa hin taʼu.
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:
Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; ani irree jabaa fi harka diriirfameen, dheekkamsa roobsuudhaan isinan bulcha.
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein all of you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Ani harka jabaadhaan, irree diriirfamee fi dheekkamsa roobeen saboota keessaa isinan fida; biyyoota isin itti bibittinnooftan keessaas walitti isinan qaba.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Ani gammoojjii sabootaatti isin fidee achitti ifaan ifatti isinitti nan mura.
36 Like I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, says the Lord GOD.
Ani akkuman biyya Gibxitti abbootii keessanitti mure sana isinittis nan mura, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
Ani akka isin ulee koo jalaan lootan nan godha; hidhaa kakuuttis isin nan galcha.
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 all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
Warra natti kaʼanii natti fincilan isin keessaa nan baasa. Biyya isaan jiraachaa turan sana keessaa isaan nan baasa; garuu isaan biyya Israaʼel hin seenan. Kanaanis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD; Go all of you, serve all of you every one his idols, and hereafter also, if all of you will not hearken unto me: but pollute all of you my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
“‘Yaa mana Israaʼel waaʼee keessan garuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tokkoon tokkoon keessan dhaqaatii waaqota tolfamoo keessan tajaajilaa! Ergasii garuu dhugumaan na dhaggeeffattu; kennaa fi waaqota keessaniinis lammata maqaa koo qulqullicha hin xureessitan.
40 For in mine 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.
Tulluu koo qulqullicha irratti, tulluu Israaʼel dheeraa sana irratti, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan, achitti guutummaan mana Israaʼel na tajaajilu; anis achitti isaan nan simadha. Achittis buusii keessanii fi kennaa keessan filatamaa sana aarsaa keessan qulqulluu hunda wajjin nan barbaada.
41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein all of you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
Ani yeroon saboota keessaa isin baasee biyyoota isin itti bittinnooftanii turtan keessaa walitti isin qabutti, ixaana urgaaʼaa godhadhee isin nan simadha; fuula sabootaa durattis isin gidduutti qulqulluu taʼuu koo of nan mulʼisa.
42 And all of 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 mine hand to give it to your fathers.
Yeroo ani biyya Israaʼel, biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kennuuf harka ol qabadheen kakadhee ture sanatti isin galchutti isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
43 And there shall all of you remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein all of you have been defiled; and all of you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that all of you have committed.
Achitti isin amala keessanii fi gochawwan ittiin of xureessitan hunda ni yaadattu; hammina hojjettan hundaafis of balfitu.
44 And all of you shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O all of you house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
Yaa mana Israaʼel, yeroo ani utuu akka hammina keessaniittii fi akka hojii keessan fokkisaa sanaatti hin taʼin, maqaa kootiif jedhee isinii araaramutti, isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
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;
“Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara kibbaatti garagalfadhu; biyya kibbaatti lallabiitii bosona biyya Negeebiitiin mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu.
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.
Bosona Negeebiin akkana jedhi: ‘Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani ibidda sitti qabsiisuufan jira; innis mukkeen kee hunda jiidhaa fi goggogaa illee ni fixa. Arrabni isaa hin dhaamu; wanni kibbaa hamma kaabaatti jiru hundinuus ni gubama.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Namni hundinuus akka ani Waaqayyo ibidda sana qabsiise ni beeka; ibiddi sunis hin dhaamu.’”
49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Does he not speak parables?
Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani bade! Isaan waaʼee koo, ‘Inni fakkeenya dubbata mitii?’ anaan jedhu” jedhe.
