< Ezekiel 22 >

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations?
“Ọmọ ènìyàn ǹjẹ́ ìwọ yóò ha ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha ṣe ìdájọ́ ìlú atàjẹ̀sílẹ̀? Tó bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀ dojúkọ wọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìwà ìríra wọn.
3 Then say thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time [of sorrow] may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean:
Kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwọ ìlú ńlá tí ó mú ìparun wá sórí ara rẹ nípa títàjẹ̀sílẹ̀ ní àárín rẹ, tí ó sì ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ nípa ṣíṣe àwọn ère.
4 Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days [of destruction] to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
Ìwọ ti jẹ̀bi nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀, àti pé àwọn ère tí ó ṣe tí bà ọ́ jẹ́. Ìwọ tí mú ọjọ́ rẹ súnmọ́ tòsí, ìparí àwọn ọdún rẹ sì ti dé. Nítorí náà èmi yóò fi ọ ṣe ohun ẹ̀gàn lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ohun ẹ̀sín lójú gbogbo ìlú.
5 Those who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion!
Àwọn tí ó wà ní tòsí àti àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ, yóò fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, ìwọ ìlú ẹlẹ́gàn, tí ó kún fún làálàá.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel were each [ready] with his arm within thee, in order to shed blood.
“‘Wo bí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin ọba Israẹli tí ó wà nínú yín ti ń lo agbára rẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
7 Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.
Nínú rẹ wọn ti hùwà sí baba àti ìyá pẹ̀lú ìfojú tínrín; nínú rẹ wọn ti ni àwọn àlejò lára, wọn sì hùwàkiwà sí aláìní baba àti opó.
8 My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane.
Ìwọ tí kọ àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi sílẹ̀, ìwọ sì ti lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní ìlòkulò.
9 Tale-bearers [also] were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee.
Nínú rẹ ni àwọn ayannijẹ ènìyàn pinnu láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; nínú rẹ ní àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní orí òkè ojúbọ òrìṣà, wọn sì hùwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́.
10 Their father's nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee.
Nínú rẹ ní àwọn ti kò bu ọlá fún àwọn àkéte baba wọn; nínú rẹ ni àwọn tí o ń bá àwọn obìnrin lò nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣe àkókò lọ́wọ́, ní àsìkò tí a ka wọn sì aláìmọ́.
11 And one with his neighbor's wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughter-in-law with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee.
Nínú rẹ ọkùnrin kan ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìríra pẹ̀lú aya aládùúgbò rẹ̀, òmíràn bá ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́, òmíràn sì bá arábìnrin rẹ̀ lòpọ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ọbàkan rẹ̀.
12 Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.
Nínú rẹ àwọn ènìyàn gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ìwọ gba èlé ìlọ́po láti mú aláìṣòótọ́ jèrè láti ara aládùúgbò rẹ nípa ìrẹ́jẹ. Ìwọ sì ti gbàgbé èmi; ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
13 And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst of thee.
“‘Èmi yóò kúkú pàtẹ́wọ́ lórí èrè àìmọ̀ tí ìwọ ti jẹ, àti lórí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀ ní àárín yín.
14 Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
Ọkàn rẹ le gbà á, tàbí ọwọ́ rẹ lè le, ní ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò bá ọ ṣé? Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, Èmi yóò sì ṣe é.
15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of thee.
Èmi yóò tú yin ká ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò fọ́n ọ ká sí àwọn ìlú; èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí àìmọ́ rẹ.
16 And thou shalt be degraded through thyself before the eyes of nations, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Nígbà tí a ó bà ọ́ jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
17 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Nígbà náà ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
18 Son of man, the house of Israel are become to me dross: they all are copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; the dross of silver are they become.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, ilé Israẹli ti di ìdàrọ́ sí mi; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ bàbà, idẹ, irin àti òjé ti a fi sínú iná ìléru. Wọn jẹ́ ìdàrọ́ ti fàdákà.
19 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Nítorí náà èyí yìí ni ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: ‘Nítorí tí ìwọ ti di ìdàrọ́, èmi yóò kó yín jọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
20 As silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it: so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury and I will lay you down there, and melt you.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn ṣe ń kó fàdákà, bàbà, irin, òjé àti idẹ jọ sínú iná ìléru láti fi iná yọ́ ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò kó ọ jọ ní ìbínú àti ìrunú mi, èmi yóò sì fi ọ sì àárín ìlú, èmi yóò sì yọ́ ọ. Níbẹ̀ ní ìwọ yóò sì ti yọ́.
21 Yea, I will assemble you in a heap, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
Èmi yóò kó yín jọ, èmi o sì fín iná ìbínú mi si yin lára, ẹ o si di yíyọ́ láàrín rẹ̀.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord who have poured out my fury over you.
Bí a ti ń yọ́ fàdákà nínú iná ìléru bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ní ìwọ yóò ṣe yọ́ nínú rẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ wí pé, Èmi Olúwa ti tú ìbínú mi sórí rẹ.’”
23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed; [and] which is not rained upon on the day of indignation.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún ilẹ̀ náà, ‘Ìwọ ní ilẹ̀ tí kò gbá mọ́, ti kò sì rọ òjò tàbí ìrì ní àkókò ìbínú.’
25 The banded troop of her prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that teareth in pieces the prey: souls do they devour; wealth and precious things do they take away; the number of her widows do they increase in the midst of her.
Ìdìtẹ̀ sì wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-aládé inú rẹ̀, tó dàbí bíbú kìnnìún tó ń fà ẹran ya, wọ́n ń ba àwọn ènìyàn jẹ́, wọ́n ń kó ìṣúra àti àwọn ohun iyebíye wọ́n sì ń sọ púpọ̀ di opó nínú rẹ̀.
26 Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things: between the holy and profane do they make no distinction, and the difference between the unclean and the clean do they not make known, and from [the violation of] my sabbaths do they turn away their eyes, so that I am profaned among them.
Àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ ti rú òfin mi, wọn si ti sọ ohun mímọ́ mi di àìlọ́wọ̀: wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ sáàrín ohun mímọ́ àti àìlọ́wọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ hàn láàrín ohun àìmọ́, àti mímọ́, wọn sì ti fi ojú wọn pamọ́ kúrò ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi, mó sì dí ẹni àìlọ́wọ̀ láàrín wọn.
27 Her princes in her midst are like wolves that tear in pieces the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to obtain selfish gain.
Àwọn ọmọ-aládé àárín rẹ̀ dàbí ìkookò ti ń ṣọdẹ, láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láti pa ọkàn run, láti jèrè àìṣòótọ́.
28 And her prophets plastered for them with unadhesive mortar, foreseeing falsehood, and divining unto them lies, saying, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal; when the Lord had not spoken.
Àti àwọn wòlíì rẹ́ ti ṣẹ̀tàn sí wọn, wọn ń rì ìran asán, wọn sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ èké sí wọn, wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí,’ nígbà tí ó ṣépè Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀.
29 The people of the land are guilty of extortion, and practise robbery, and the poor and the needy they defraud: and they extort from the stranger with injustice.
Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà, tí lo ìwà ìninilára, wọn sì já olè, wọn sì ni àwọn tálákà àti aláìní lára; nítòótọ́, wọn tí ní àlejò lára láìnídìí. Kò sì ṣí ìdájọ́ òdodo.
30 And I seek now among them for a man, that could erect a fence, and stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it; but I find none.
“Èmi si wá ẹnìkan láàrín wọn, tí ìbá tún odi náà mọ́, tí ìbá dúró ní ibi tí ó ya náà níwájú mi fún ilẹ̀ náà, kí èmi má bá à parun: ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò rí ẹnìkan.
31 And I therefore pour out over them my indignation; with the fire of my wrath do I make an end of them: their own way do I bring upon their head, saith the Lord Eternal.
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe da ìbínú mi sí wọn lórí, mo ti fi iná ìbínú mi run wọn, mo si ti fi ọ̀nà wọn gbẹ̀san lórí ara wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
