Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 Thou therefore son of man, Wilt thou judge wilt thou judge the city of bloodshed; and cause her to 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 Thou shalt say then Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, A city shedding blood in her own midst That her time might come, Therefore hath she been making manufactured gods for herself, to be defiled.
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 Because of the blood which thou hast shed, hast thou become guilty. And with the manufactured gods which thou hast made, hast thou defiled thyself, Thus hast thou brought near thy days, And hast come unto thy years, — For this cause, have I delivered thee As a reproach to the nations, And as a derision to all the lands.
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 They who are near and they who are far off from thee shall shew themselves derisive over thee, — O thou of impure name, abounding 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 Lo! the princes of Israel, every man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding 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, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, — The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in 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, hast thou despised, - And my sabbaths, hast thou profaned:
Ìwọ tí kọ àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi sílẹ̀, ìwọ sì ti lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní ìlòkulò.
9 Slanders, have arisen in thee For the sake of shedding blood, - And unto the mountains, have they eaten in thee, Lewdness, have they practised 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 A father’s shame hath been uncovered in thee, Her that was unclean in her removal, have they humbled in 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 man, with the wife of his neighbour, hath wrought abomination, And another, hath defiled, his daughter-in-law, by shameful deed, — And another, his own sister daughter of his own father, hath humbled in 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, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood, -Interest and increase, hast thou accepted And thou hast overreached thy neighbour by oppression, And me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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 Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made— And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
“‘Èmi yóò kúkú pàtẹ́wọ́ lórí èrè àìmọ̀ tí ìwọ ti jẹ, àti lórí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀ ní àárín yín.
14 Can thy heart endure or can thy hands be strong in the days when I am dealing with thee? I. Yahweh have spoken and will perform.
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 Therefore will I disperse thee among the nations, And scatter thee throughout the lands, — And will cause to cease thine impurity 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 So shalt thou be profaned in thyself, before the eyes of nations, Thus shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
Nígbà tí a ó bà ọ́ jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
17 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
Nígbà náà ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
18 Son of man, The house of Israel hath become to me, dross, — They all are copper and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, The dross of silver, have 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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye all are become dross, Therefore, behold me! gathering 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 they gather silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow upon it the fire to melt it, So, will I gather in mine anger and in mine indignation, and will let be and will 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 gather you together, and blow upon you, with the fire of my wrath, — And ye shall be melted in the midst thereof:
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 he midst of a furnace, So, shall ye be melted in the midst thereof, — Then shall ye know that, I Yahweh, have poured out mine indignation upon 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 Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
24 Son of man, say to her. Thou, art a land, that is not to be rained upon, nor to receive fruitful showers, in 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 Because her princes in her midst are like a roaring lion rending prey, — Life, have they devoured Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.
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 have done violence to my law And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern, - And from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst.
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 rulers within her have been like wolves, rending prey, - In shedding blood In destroying lives, For the sake of getting dishonest 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 have coated it for them with whitewash, Seeing visions of falsehood And divining for them lies, Saying, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh, hath 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 have exacted oppression, and seized plunder, - Even the afflicted and the needy, have they maltreated, And the sojourner have they oppressed without justice.
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 Then sought I from among them, a man Who could build up a wall And stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land So that I might not destroy her, — But I found 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 Therefore have I poured out upon them mine indignation, In the fire of mine outburst, have I consumed them, — Their way, upon their own head, have I placed Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
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.”
