Ezekiel 14
1 Then came there unto me certain men of the elders of Israel, and sat down before me.
Maanguddoota Israaʼelii keessaa tokko tokko na bira dhufanii fuula koo dura tataaʼan.
2 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity have they placed before their faces: shall I in any wise let myself be inquired of by them?
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni kunneen waaqota tolfamoo garaa isaanii keessa dhaabbataniiru; fuula isaanii dura immoo dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu kaaʼaniiru. Ani akka isaan na kadhatan eeyyamuufiin qabaa?
4 Therefore speak with them and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whatever man it be of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet: I the Lord will answer him, although he cometh with the multitude of his idols;
Kanaafuu akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yommuu namni Israaʼelii kam iyyuu garaa isaa keessa Waaqa tolfamaa dhaabbatee dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu immoo fuula isaa dura kaaʼatee raajii bira dhaqutti, ani Waaqayyo akkuma baayʼina waaqota isaa tolfamoo sanaatti nan deebisaaf.
5 In order that I may grasp the house of Israel by their heart, those who are separated from me through all their idols.
Ani qalbii saba Israaʼel kanneen waaqota isaanii tolfamoof jedhanii na dhiisan sana hundaa deebisuuf waan kana nan godha.’
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Return, and cause [your heart] to turn away from your idols: and from all your abominations turn away your faces.
“Kanaafuu mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: qalbii jijjiirradhaa! Waaqota keessan tolfamoo irraa deebiʼaa; hojii keessan jibbisiisaa hundas dhiisaa!
7 For whatever man it be of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and then cometh to the prophet to inquire through him of me: I the Lord will answer him through my word;
“‘Yommuu namni Israaʼel kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan Israaʼel keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu na dhiisee garaa isaa keessa waaqota tolfamoo dhaabbatee fuula isaa dura immoo dhagaa hamaa nama gufachiisu kaaʼatee waan ani jedhu gaafachuuf raajii bira dhaqutti, ani Waaqayyo mataan koo deebii nan kennaaf.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ani namicha sana miidhuuf fuula koo isatti garagalfadhee fakkeenya waan kolfaa isa nan godha. Saba koo irraas isa nan kuta. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
9 And when the prophet suffereth himself to be deceived, and he speaketh a word: I the Lord have suffered that prophet to be deceived: and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
“‘Raajichi yoo raajii dubbachuuf gowwoomfame, ani Waaqayyo raajii sana nan gowwoomsa; harka koos isatti kaafadhee saba koo Israaʼel gidduudhaa isa nan balleessa.
10 And they shall bear their guilt: as the guilt of the inquirer is, so shall the guilt of the prophet be;
Isaan yakka isaanii ni baadhatu; raajiin sunis akkuma nama gorsa isa gaafate sanaa yakkamaa taʼa.
11 In order that the house of Israel may go no more astray by not following me, and not pollute themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may become unto me a people, and I may be unto them a God, saith the Lord Eternal.
Kunis akka sabni Israaʼel siʼachi narraa goree yookaan deebiʼee cubbuu isaa hundaan of hin xureessineef. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
12 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
13 Son of man, if a land should sin against me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break unto it the staff of bread, and send out famine against it, and cut off from it man and beast;
“Yaa ilma namaa, yoo biyyi tokko amanamuu diduudhaan cubbuu natti hojjette ani harka koo isheetti kaasee madda nyaata ishee nan gogsa; beelas itti ergee namoota isheetii fi horii ishee jalaa nan fixa;
14 And if there be these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, in the midst of it: these through their righteousness should save but their own soul; saith the Lord Eternal.
yoo namoonni sadan kunneen jechuunis Nohi, Daaniʼelii fi Iyyoob biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan qajeelummaa isaaniitiin mataa ofii isaanii qofa oolfatu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
15 If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they depopulate it, and it becometh desolate, without any one to pass through because of the beasts:
“Yookaan yoo ani guutummaa biyya sanaatti bineensa ergee bineensi sun immoo biyya sana ijoollee malee hambise, yoo hamma namni tokko iyyuu sababii bineensa sanaatiif achiin darbuu dadhabutti biyyi sun one,
16 These three men [if they were] in it, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, should not save either sons or daughters: they only should be saved, but the land should be made desolate.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo namoonni kunneen biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaanuma qofatu oolfama; biyyi sun garuu ni onti.
17 Or, if I should bring a sword over that land, and say, The sword shall pass through the land, and I cut off from it man and beast;
“Yookaan yoo ani goraadee biyyattiitti fidee, ‘Goraadeen biyyattii keessa haa darbu’ jedhee namaa fi horii ishee fixe,
18 And if these three men should be in it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either sons or daughters, but they alone should be saved.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo namoonni kunneen biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaanuma qofatu oolfama.
19 Or, if I should send out the pestilence against that land, and pour out my fury over it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;
“Yookaan yoo ani biyya sanatti dhaʼicha ergee namaa fi horii ishee fixee dhiiga lolaasuudhaan dheekkamsa koo itti roobse,
20 And if Noah, Daniel, and Job, should be in the midst of it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either son or daughter; they through their righteousness should save their own soul.
ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; yoo Nohi, Daaniʼelii fi Iyyoob biyya sana keessa jiraatani iyyuu isaan ilmaan yookaan intallan ofii isaanii oolfachuu hin dandaʼan. Isaan qajeelummaa isaaniitiin mataa ofii isaanii qofa oolfatu.
21 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I send my four dreadful means of punishment over Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast:
“Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Yeroo ani namaa fi horii ishee fixuuf murtiiwwan hadhaaʼaa afran sana jechuunis goraadee fi beela, bineensaa fi dhaʼicha Yerusaalemitti ergutti hammam wanni hamaan haa taʼu ree!
22 Still, behold, there are left therein some that escape who shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters; behold, they are coming forth unto you, and ye will see their way and their doings; and then will ye be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, yea, concerning all that I have brought upon it;
Taʼus ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii kanneen ishee keessaa baafamanii baraaraman muraasni achi ni jiraatu. Isaanis gara keessan ni dhufu; isin immoo yeroo amala isaaniitii fi gocha isaanii argitanitti sababii ani Yerusaalemitti badiisa fideef jechuunis badiisa ani isheetti fide hundaaf ni jajjabaattu.
23 And they will comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have executed in it, saith the Lord Eternal.
Isin yeroo amala isaaniitii fi gocha isaanii argitanitti akka ani sababii malee homaa ishee keessatti hin godhin waan beektaniif ni jajjabaattu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
