Jezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Yeroo ani biyya tokkotti goraadee fidutti, sabni biyya sanaa namoota isaa keessaa nama tokko filatee eegduu isa godhatee,
3 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
eegduun sun goraadee biyyattiitti dhufaa jiru argee uummata akeekkachiisuuf malakata yeroo afuufutti,
4 and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
yoo namni kam iyyuu sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhachuu didee goraadeen sun dhufee lubbuu isaa galaafate, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
5 Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
Inni sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa waan hin fudhatiniif dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa. Inni utuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhatee jiraatee silaa of baasa ture.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
Garuu yoo eegduun sun goraadee dhufaa jiru argee namoota akeekkachiisuuf malakata afuufuu baatee goraadeen sun dhufee isaan keessaa lubbuu nama tokkoo galaafate, namichi sun sababii cubbuu isaatiif ajjeefama; eegduu sana garuu sababii dhiiga nama sanaatiif nan gaafadha.’
7 And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
“Yaa ilma namaa, ani mana Israaʼeliitiif eegduu si godheera; kanaafuu dubbii ani dubbadhu dhagaʼiitii akeekkachiisa na biraa baʼu isaaniif kenni.
8 When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Yeroo ani nama hamaa tokkoon, ‘Yaa namicha hamaa nana, ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhutti, yoo ati akka inni qalbii jijjiirratu akeekkachiisuu baatte namichi hamaan sun cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; dhiiga isaa garuu ani harka kee irraa nan barbaada.
9 But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
Garuu yoo ati nama hamaa sana akka inni karaa isaa irraa deebiʼu akeekkachiiftee inni immoo deebiʼuu baate, inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; ati garuu lubbuu kee oolfatteerta.
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
“Yaa ilma namaa, mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin akkana jettu: “Yakkii fi cubbuun keenya nutti ulfaateera; nuus sababii kanaaf nyaatamnee dhumne. Yoos akkamiin jiraachuu dandeenya ree?”’
11 Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe, ani akka namoonni hamoon karaa isaanii irraa deebiʼanii jiraatan malee duʼa isaaniitti hin gammadu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Deebiʼaa! Karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebiʼaa! Yaa mana Israaʼel isin maaliif duutu?’
12 Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitiin akkana jedhi; ‘Qajeelummaan nama qajeelaa yommuu inni ajajamuu didutti isa hin baasu; hamminni nama hamaas yommuu inni hammina isaa irraa deebiʼutti isa hin balleessu. Namni qajeelaan yoo cubbuu hojjete sababii qajeelummaa isaa duraatiif lubbuudhaan hin jiraatu.’
13 When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
Yoo ani nama qajeelaa tokko akka inni dhugumaan jiraatu itti himee, inni garuu qajeelummaa isaa amanatee cubbuu hojjete, waan qajeelaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu hin yaadatamu; inni cubbuu hojjete sanaan ni duʼa.
14 And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgment and justice,
Yoo ani nama cubbamaa tokkoon, ‘Ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhee inni garuu cubbuu isaa irraa deebiʼee waan sirrii fi waan qajeelaa hojjete jechuunis,
15 and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
inni yoo qabdii waan liqeesse tokkoof fudhate deebise, yoo waan hate deebise, yoo seera jireenya namaaf kennu duukaa buʼee hammina hojjechuu baate, inni dhugumaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
16 None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgment and righteousness; by them shall he live.
Cubbuu namichi sun hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isatti hin herregamu. Inni waan sirrii fi qajeelaa hojjeteeraatii, dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
17 Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
“Taʼus namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jedhu. Garuu karaan qajeelaa hin taʼin kanuma isaanii ti.
18 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
Namni qajeelaan yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee hammina hojjete, inni hammina sanaan ni duʼa.
19 And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgment and righteousness, he shall live by them.
Namni hamaan tokko immoo yoo hammina isaa irraa deebiʼee murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjete, inni waan kana hojjechuu isaatiin ni jiraata.
20 And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
Taʼu illee yaa mana Israaʼel isin, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jettu. Ani garuu hunda keessanitti akkuma hojii keessaniitti nan mura.”
21 And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
Waggaa kudha lammaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaatti, namichi Yerusaalemii baqatee baʼe tokko gara koo dhufee, “Magaalattiin kufteerti!” jedhe.
22 Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
Galgala dhufaatii namichaatiin duraa sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; utuu namichi ganamaan gara koo hin dhufinis Waaqni afaan koo bane. Afaan koo banameeraatii ani lammata hin calʼisne.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni diigama biyya Israaʼel keessa jiru keessa jiraatan akkana jedhu; ‘Abrahaam namuma tokko ture; taʼus inni biyyattii dhaale. Nu garuu baayʼee dha; biyyattiinis dhugumaan akka nu dhaalluuf nuu kennamteerti.’
Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin foon utuma dhiigni keessa jiruu nyaattu; waaqota keessan tolfamoo abdattu; dhiiga namaas dhangalaaftu; yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?
Isin goraadee keessan abdattu; waan jibbisiisaa hojjettu; tokkoon tokkoon keessan niitii ollaa keessanii xureessitu. Yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?’
27 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
“Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jiraataadhaatii, warri diigama keessatti hafan goraadeedhaan dhumu; warra baadiyyaa keessa jiran akka isaan nyaatamaniif bineensatti dabarsee nan kenna; warri daʼannoo fi holqa keessa jiraatan immoo dhaʼichaan ni dhumu.
28 And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
Ani biyyattii onsee duwwaa nan hambisa; humni isheen ittiin of jajjus ni dhuma; gaarran Israaʼelis akka namni tokko iyyuu irra hin qaxxaamurreef qullaa hafu.
29 And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
Yeroo ani sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaan hojjetan hundaatiif biyyattii onsee duwwaa hambisutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’
30 And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
“Waaʼee kee immoo yaa ilma namaa, namoonni biyya keetii keenyan manaa birattii fi balbala duratti waaʼee kee dubbachaa, ‘Kottaa dhaqnee ergaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufe dhageenyaa’ waliin jedhu.
31 They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
Sabni koo akkuma yeroo kaaniitti gara kee dhufanii dubbii kee dhagaʼuudhaaf fuula kee dura tataaʼu; isaan garuu waan sana hojiidhaan hin argisiisan. Isaan afaan isaaniitiin jaalala guddaa dubbatu; garaan isaanii garuu buʼaa hin malle argachuuf gaggaba.
32 And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
Dhugumaan ati isaaniif nama sagalee gaariidhaan sirba jaalalaa sirbee meeshaa sirbaa taphatu irra hin jirtuutii; isaan dubbii kee ni dhagaʼu malee hojiidhaan hin argisiisaniitii.
33 But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
“Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti, dhugumaan ni taʼaatii isaan gaafas akka raajiin gidduu isaanii ture ni beeku.”
