Ezekiel 3
1 And He says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, rie ihe a m gaje inye gị. Taa akwụkwọ a a fụkọrọ afụkọ; pụọ gaa gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu.”
2 And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this scroll.
Ya mere, a saghere m ọnụ m, o nyere m akwụkwọ ahụ a fụkọrọ afụkọ ka m rie.
3 And He says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, taa akwụkwọ a niile m nyere gị, tajuo ya afọ gị.” Atara m ya. Ma mgbe m na-ata ya, ọ tọrọ m ụtọ nʼọnụ dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ mmanụ aṅụ.
4 And He says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, bilie jekwuru ụmụ Izrel gwa ha okwu m niile.
5 For you [are] not sent to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue—to the house of Israel;
Nʼihi na-ezighị m gị ka i jekwuru mba ndị okwu ha edoghị anya na ndị a naghị aghọta asụsụ ha, kama ọ bụ ijekwuru ụlọ Izrel.
6 not to many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they listen to you,
Ezikwaghị m gị ka i jekwuru mba nwere asụsụ na-edoghị anya, nke ị na-adịghị aghọta okwu ha. Nʼihi na a sị na ọ bụ ndị dị otu a ka m zigara gị ka i jekwuru, ha gaara ege gị ntị.
7 but the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
Ma ụlọ Izrel agaghị ekwe gee gị ntị, nʼihi na ha jụrụ ige m ntị. Nʼihi na ụlọ Izrel bụ ndị obi ha siri ike, na ndị isiike.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.
Lee, emeela m ka ihu gị sie ike karịa nke ha, ka egedege ihu gị siekwa ike karịa nke ha.
9 As an adamant, harder than a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
Aga m emekwa ka egedege ihu gị dị ka nkume siri ike, sie ike karịa nkume. Nʼihi ya, atụla ha egwu; ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi, ma atụla ihu ha egwu.”
10 And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear with your ears;
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, gee ntị nke ọma nʼokwu ndị a niile m na-agwa gị, tinyekwa ha nʼuche gị.
11 and go forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”
Jekwuru ndị gị a dọtara nʼagha nọ na mba ọzọ, sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu,’ Gwa ha ya, ma ha gere gị ntị ma ha egeghị gị ntị.”
12 And a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from His place!”
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ ahụ buliri m elu. Anụrụ m olu mere oke ụzụ nʼazụ m, mgbe ebube nke Onyenwe anyị sị nʼọnọdụ ya bilie.
13 Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
Ọ bụ ụzụ nke nku ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-eme mgbe ha na-emetụrịta nku ibe ha; ọ bụkwa ụzụ ụkwụ wịịlu ha nke dị nʼakụkụ ha.
14 And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on me.
Mmụọ ahụ buliri m, bupụ m. Ejegharịrị m nʼobi ilu na iwe nke mmụọ m, ebe aka Onyenwe anyị dịkwa ike nʼahụ m.
15 And I come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
A bịakwutere m ndị ahụ a dọọrọ nʼagha, ha aga biri na Tel Abib nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba. Nʼebe ahụ, bụ ebe ha na-ebi, anọdụrụ m nʼetiti ha abalị asaa, nʼọnọdụ obi ilu na ọnụma.
16 And it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,
Mgbe abalị asaa gasịrị, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
17 that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned them from Me.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, emeela m gị ka ị bụrụ onye nche nye ụlọ Izrel. Nʼihi ya, gee ntị nʼihe m na-ekwu, ka ị dọọrọ m ha aka na ntị.
18 In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.
Mgbe m na-asị onye ajọ omume, ‘Ị ghaghị ịnwụ,’ ma ọ bụrụ na ị dọghị ya aka na ntị, maọbụ ị kwughị okwu ime ka ha chigharịa site nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha niile pụta nʼihi ịzọpụta ndụ ha, onye ahụ na-emebi iwu ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ya niile, ma nʼaka gị ka m ga-ajụta ọbara ha.
19 And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị dọọ onye ajọ omume aka na ntị, ma ha esighị nʼajọ omume maọbụ nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha niile chigharịa, ha ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie, ma ndụ gị ka ị zọpụtara.
20 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from your hand.
“Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ezi omume esite nʼụzọ ezi omume ya wezuga onwe ya bido ime ihe ọjọọ, m siere ha ọnya, ha ga-anwụ nʼihi na ị dọghị ha aka na ntị, ha ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ha. Agaghịkwa echeta ihe ọma niile ndị ha mere, ma ị ga-aza ajụjụ maka ọnwụ ha.
21 And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị dọọ onye ezi omume aka na ntị ka ọ ghara ime mmehie, ha gharakwa ime mmehie, ha ga-adị ndụ nʼihi na ha nabatara ịdọ aka na ntị ahụ. Gị onwe gị azọpụtakwala ndụ gị, nʼụzọ dị otu a.”
22 And there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I speak with you.”
Aka Onyenwe anyị dịgidesịrị ike nʼahụ m nʼebe ahụ. Ma ọ sịrị m, “Bilie gaa nʼebe ahụ obosara ala dị ka m gwa gị okwu nʼebe ahụ,”
23 And I rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
Ebiliri m gaa nʼebe ahụ ala dị larịị. Ebube Onyenwe anyị guzo nʼebe ahụ dịka ebube nke m hụrụ nʼakụkụ iyi Keba. Adara m kpuo ihu m nʼala.
24 And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut up in the midst of your house.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ ahụ banyere nʼime m mee ka m guzo ọtọ nʼụkwụ m abụọ. Ọ gwara m okwu sị m, “Gaa, baa nʼụlọ, mechibido onwe gị ụzọ.
25 And you, son of man, behold, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in their midst;
Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, a ga-eji ụdọ kee gị ka ị ghara inwe ike ịpụ gaa nʼetiti ndị mmadụ.
26 and I cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
Aga m eme ka ire gị rapara nʼakpo ọnụ gị, ka ị ghọọ onye ogbi, gharakwa ịbụ onye na-adọ ha aka na ntị, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
27 And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
Ma mgbe ọbụla m ziri gị ozi, aga m atọghepụ ire gị. Ị ga-asịkwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru.’ Ka onye nwere ntị nụrụ, ka onye nke na-achọghị ịnụ ghara ịnụ, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
