Jezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
Síwájú sí i, ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ ohun tí ó wà níwájú rẹ, jẹ ìwé kíká yìí; kí o sì lọ fi bá ilé Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀.”
2 So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
Mo sì ya ẹnu mi, ó sì mú mi jẹ ìwé kíká náà.
3 your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
Ó tún sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ ìwé kíká tí mo fún ọ yìí, fi bọ́ inú àti ikùn rẹ.” Nígbà náà ni mo jẹ ẹ́, dídùn rẹ̀ dàbí oyin ní ẹnu mi.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Ó sì tún sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, lọ ni ìsinsin yìí bá mi sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi fún ilé Israẹli.
5 For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
A kò rán ọ sí àwọn tó ń sọ èdè àjèjì tàbí tí èdè wọn ṣòro láti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n orílẹ̀-èdè Israẹli ni mo rán ọ sí
6 neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
kì í ṣe sí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tó ń sọ àjèjì èdè tàbí tí èdè wọn ṣòro láti gbọ́, àwọn tí ọ̀rọ̀ wọn le fún ọ láti gbọ́ yé. Dájúdájú bí mo bá rán ọ sí wọn, wọn ìbá sì fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
Ṣùgbọ́n ilé Israẹli kò fẹ́ gbọ́ tìrẹ nítorí pé wọn kò fẹ́ láti gbọ́ tèmi, torí pé aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ́kàn líle ni gbogbo ilé Israẹli.
8 And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí i tiwọn lèmi náà yóò ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú àti ọkàn rẹ le.
9 And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
Èmi yóò ṣe iwájú orí rẹ bí òkúta tó le jùlọ, ànító le ju òkúta-ìbọn lọ. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn tàbí jẹ́ kí wọn ó dáyà já ọ. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìdílé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni wọ́n.”
10 And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.
Ó sì sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ń sọ, kí o sì gba gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí sí ọkàn rẹ.
11 And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.
Lọ nísinsin yìí sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tó wà ní ìgbèkùn. Sọ fún wọn pé báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí yálà wọ́n gbọ́ tàbí wọn kò gbọ́.”
12 Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀mí gbé mi sókè, mo sì gbọ́ ohùn ìró ńlá lẹ́yìn mi tó sọ pé, kí a gbé ògo Olúwa ga láti ibùgbé rẹ̀ wá!
13 And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo tún gbọ́ ariwo ìyẹ́ apá àti kẹ̀kẹ́ àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè náà pẹ̀lú ariwo tó dàbí àrá ńlá.
14 And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
Ẹ̀mí náà sì gbé mi sókè, ó sì mú mi lọ, mo lọ pẹ̀lú ọkàn kíkorò àti ìbínú nínú ẹ̀mí mi, pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ líle Olúwa ni ara mi.
15 Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
Nígbà náà ni mo lọ sí etí odò Kebari níbi tí àwọn ìgbèkùn ń gbé ni Teli-Abibu. Níbẹ̀ níbi tí wọ́n ń gbé, mo jókòó láàrín wọn pẹ̀lú ìyanu, fún ọjọ́ méje.
16 And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méje, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
17 I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, mo ti fi ọ́ ṣe olùṣọ́ fún ilé Israẹli; nítorí náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ń sọ, fún wọn ní ìkìlọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
18 When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Bí mo bá sọ fún ènìyàn búburú pé, dájúdájú, ‘Ìwọ yóò kú,’ tí ìwọ kò sì kìlọ̀ fún ènìyàn búburú yìí láti dáwọ́ ìwà ibi rẹ̀ dúró, kí o sì gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là, ènìyàn búburú náà yóò kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọwọ́ rẹ ni èmi yóò ti béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.
19 But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí o bá kìlọ̀ fún ènìyàn búburú, tí ó kọ̀ tí kò fi ìwà búburú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ọrùn tìrẹ ti mọ́.
20 And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
“Bákan náà, bí olódodo kan bá yípadà, tó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe àìṣòdodo, tí mo sì fi ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà rẹ̀, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí pé ìwọ kọ̀ láti kìlọ̀ fún un, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, a ó gbàgbé gbogbo ìwà rere tó ti hù tẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.
21 But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí o bá kìlọ̀ fún olódodo tó sì dáwọ́ ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ dúró, dájúdájú òun yóò yè nítorí pé ó ti gba ìkìlọ̀, ọrùn tìrẹ sì mọ́.”
22 And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
Ọwọ́ Olúwa wà lára mi níbẹ̀, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Dìde, lọ sí ibi tí ó tẹ́jú, èmi yóò sì bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ níbẹ̀.”
23 And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.
Mo sì dìde, mo lọ sí ibi tí ó tẹ́jú. Ògo Olúwa dúró níbẹ̀, ó dàbí irú ògo tí mo rí létí odò Kebari, mo sì dojúbolẹ̀.
24 Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
Nígbà náà ni Ẹ̀mí wọ inú mi, tí ó sì tún gbé mi dúró. Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Lọ, ti ara rẹ mọ́ inú ilé rẹ
25 And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, wọn yóò fi okùn dè ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀; dé ibi pé ìwọ kò ní í le rìn káàkiri láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
26 Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.
Èmi yóò mú kí ahọ́n rẹ lẹ̀ mọ́ àjà ẹnu rẹ, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ ti ìwọ yóò wà ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́. Ìwọ kò sì ní lè bá wọn wí, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ní wọn.
27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí èmi bá bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀, Èmi yóò ṣí ọ lẹ́nu, ìwọ yóò sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’ Ẹni tó bá fẹ́ kí ó gbọ́, ẹni tó bá fẹ́ kọ̀, kó kọ̀ nítorí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni wọ́n.
