< Ezekiel 24 >

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
Ní ọdún kẹsànán, oṣù kẹwàá, ọjọ́ kẹwàá, ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
2 Son of man, write thee down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọ ọjọ́ náà sílẹ̀, ọjọ́ náà gan an, nítorí ọba Babeli náà ti da ojú ti Jerusalẹmu ní ọjọ́ yìí gan an.
3 And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
Sì pa òwe yìí fún ilé ọlọ́tẹ̀ náà, sọ fún wọn pé: ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Gbé ìkòkò ìdáná náà ka iná, gbé e ka iná kí o sì da omi sí i nínú.
4 Gather the proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up with the choice bones.
Kó àwọn ègé ẹran tí a gé náà sínú rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ègé ẹran tí ó tóbi, itan àti apá. Kó àwọn egungun tí ó dára jù sínú rẹ̀,
5 Take the choice of the flock, and make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.
mú àwọn tí ó jọjú nínú agbo ẹran. Kó àwọn egungun sí abẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀; sì jẹ́ kí ó hó dáradára sì jẹ́ kí àwọn egungun náà bọ̀ nínú rẹ̀.
6 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for it.
Nítorí báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Ègbé ni fún ìlú ẹlẹ́jẹ̀ náà, fún ìkòkò náà tí èérí rẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, tí èérí kò dà kúrò lójú rẹ̀! Mú ẹran náà jáde ní ekìrí ekìrí má ṣe ṣà wọ́n mú.
7 For her blood was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over with dust.
“‘Nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ó ta sílẹ̀ wà ní àárín rẹ̀; à á sí orí àpáta kan lásán kò dà á sí orí ilẹ̀, níbi ti erùpẹ̀ yóò ti bò ó.
8 To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.
Láti bá à le jẹ́ kí ìbínú kí ó dé láti gbẹ̀san mo da ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sí orí àpáta kan lásán, kí o ma bà á wà ni bíbò.
9 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,
Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Ègbé ni fún ìlú ẹlẹ́jẹ̀ náà! Èmi pàápàá yóò jẹ́ kí òkìtì iná náà tóbi.
10 Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.
Nítorí náà kó igi náà jọ sí i, kí o sì fi iná sí i. Ṣe ẹran náà dáradára, fi tùràrí dùn ún; kí o sì jẹ́ kí egungun náà jóná.
11 Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum may be consumed.
Lẹ́yìn náà gbé òfìfo ìkòkò náà lórí ẹyin iná kí idẹ rẹ̀ lè gbóná, kí ó lè pọ́n àti ki ìfófó rẹ̀ le di yíyọ́ nínú rẹ̀ kí èérí rẹ̀ le jó dànù.
12 With fraud hath she wearied [the poor]; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum [be removed].
Ó ti ba gbogbo akitiyan jẹ: èérí rẹ̀ kò sì jáde kúrò lára rẹ̀, èérí náà gan an yóò wà nínú iná.
13 In thy uncleanness is [thy] incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.
“‘Nísinsin yìí èérí rẹ̀ ni ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wà. Nítorí mo gbìyànjú láti wẹ̀ ọ́ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò sì mọ́ kúrò nínú ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, a kì yóò sì tún wẹ̀ ọ mọ́ kúrò nínú èérí rẹ, títí èmi yóò fi jẹ́ kí ìbínú mi balẹ̀ sórí rẹ̀.
14 I the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
“‘Èmi Olúwa ni ó sọ ọ́, yóò sì ṣe, èmi yóò sì ṣe é. Èmi kì yóò padà sẹ́yìn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò dá sí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò yí ọkàn mi padà; gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ, ni wọn yóò dá ọ lẹ́jọ́, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá pé:
16 Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, kíyèsi i, mo mú ìfẹ́ ojú rẹ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, nípa lílù kan. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ gbààwẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọkún, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni omijé ojú rẹ kò gbọdọ̀ kán sílẹ̀.
17 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of [other] men.
Má ṣe sọkún, má ṣe gbààwẹ̀ fún òkú. Wé ọ̀já sí orí rẹ, sì bọ bàtà sí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, má ṣe bo ètè ìsàlẹ̀ rẹ, ma ṣe jẹ oúnjẹ tí àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ń jẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà.”
18 And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.
Báyìí ni mo sọ̀rọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn ní òwúrọ̀, ní àṣálẹ́ ìyàwó mi sì kú. Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, mo ṣe bí a ti pàṣẹ fún mi.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?
Lẹ́yìn náà àwọn ènìyàn bi mí léèrè pé, “Ṣe o kò ni sọ fún wa ohun ti nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní láti ṣe pẹ̀lú wa?”
20 And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Mo sọ báyìí fún wọn pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi i, èmi yóò sọ ibi mímọ́ mi di ibi àìmọ́ tayọ agbára yín, ìfẹ́ ojú yín, ìkáàánú yín, àti ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin tí ẹ̀yin fi sílẹ̀ sẹ́yìn yóò ṣubú nípa idà.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.
Ẹyin yóò sì ṣe bí mo ti ṣe. Ẹ̀yin kì yóò bo ìsàlẹ̀ ojú yín tàbí jẹ oúnjẹ ti àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ń jẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà.
23 And your bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.
Ẹ̀yin yóò fi àwọn ọ̀já wé àwọn orí yín àti àwọn bàtà ni ẹsẹ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ tàbí sọkún, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò ṣòfò dànù nítorí àwọn àìṣedéédéé yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa kérora láàrín ara yín.
24 Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.

25 Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters, —
“Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìwọ, Ọmọ ènìyàn, kì yóò ha jẹ́ pé, ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà ti mo bá gba agbára wọn, ayọ̀ wọn àti ògo wọn, ìfẹ́ ojú wọn, ohun tí wọn gbé ọkàn wọn lé, àti àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ obìnrin wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn,

ní ọjọ́ náà ẹni tí ó bá sálà yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti sọ ìròyìn náà fún ọ.
27 On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ẹnu rẹ yóò sì ṣí; ìwọ yóò sọ̀rọ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì yadi mọ́. Báyìí ìwọ yóò jẹ́ àmì fún wọn; wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa.”
