Ezekiel 23
1 Yahweh said to me,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 “You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, obìnrin méjì wà, ọmọ ìyá kan náà.
3 They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
Wọn ń ṣe panṣágà ní Ejibiti, wọn ń ṣe panṣágà láti ìgbà èwe wọn. Ní ilẹ̀ yẹn ni wọn ti fi ọwọ́ pa ọyàn wọn, níbẹ̀ ni wọn sì fọwọ́ pa igbá àyà èwe wọn.
4 The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ń jẹ́ Ohola, àbúrò rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Oholiba. Tèmi ni wọ́n, wọ́n sì bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin. Ohola ni Samaria, Oholiba sì ni Jerusalẹmu.
5 Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
“Ohola ń ṣe panṣágà nígbà tí ó sì jẹ́ tèmi; Ó sì ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, àwọn jagunjagun ará Asiria.
6 [Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
Aṣọ aláró ni a fi wọ̀ wọ́n, àwọn gómìnà àti àwọn balógun, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin.
7 She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
O fi ara rẹ̀ fún gbajúmọ̀ ọkùnrin Asiria gẹ́gẹ́ bí panṣágà obìnrin, o fi òrìṣà gbogbo àwọn tí ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́,
8 When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
kò fi ìwà panṣágà tí ó ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, ni Ejibiti sílẹ̀, ní ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin n bá a sùn, wọn fi ọwọ́ pa àyà èwe rẹ̀ lára wọn sì ń ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i.
9 So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
“Nítorí náà mo fi i sílẹ̀ fún àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, ará Asiria, tí ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i.
10 They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
Wọ́n bọ́ ọ sí ìhòhò, wọ́n sì gba àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ wọn sì pa wọn pẹ̀lú idà. Ó di ẹni ìfisọ̀rọ̀ sọ láàrín àwọn obìnrin wọ́n sì fi ìyà jẹ ẹ́.
11 [younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
“Àbúrò rẹ̀ Oholiba rí èyí, síbẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti panṣágà rẹ̀, Ó ba ara rẹ jẹ́ ju ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ lọ.
12 Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
Òun náà ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí ará Asiria àwọn gómìnà àti àwọn balógun, jagunjagun nínú aṣọ ogun, àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà.
13 I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
Mo rí i pé òun náà ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́; àwọn méjèèjì rìn ojú ọ̀nà kan náà.
14 But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú ṣíṣe panṣágà. O ri àwòrán àwọn ọkùnrin lára ògiri, àwòrán àwọn ara Kaldea àwòrán pupa,
15 The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
pẹ̀lú ìgbànú ni ìdí wọn àti àwọn ìgbàrí ni orí wọn; gbogbo wọn dàbí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Babeli ọmọ ìlú Kaldea.
16 As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
Ní kété tí ó rí wọn, ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí wọn, ó sì rán oníṣẹ́ sí wọn ni Kaldea.
17 Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
Àwọn ará Babeli wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, lórí ibùsùn ìfẹ́, nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wọn, wọ́n bà á jẹ́. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n bà á jẹ́ tán, ó yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn ní ìtìjú.
18 But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
Nígbà tí ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú iṣẹ́ panṣágà rẹ̀ ní gbangba wọ́n sì tú u sí ìhòhò, mo yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìtìjú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀.
19 But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ó ń pọ̀ sí i nínú ìdàpọ̀ rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń rántí ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ tí ó jẹ́ panṣágà ní Ejibiti.
20 There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
Nítorí ó fẹ́ olùfẹ́ àwọn olùfẹ́ wọn ní àfẹ́jù, tí àwọn tí nǹkan ọkùnrin wọn dàbí ti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àwọn ẹni tí ìtújáde ara wọn dàbí ti àwọn ẹṣin.
21 So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
Báyìí ni ìwọ pe ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ìgbà èwe rẹ wá sí ìrántí, ní ti rírin orí ọmú rẹ láti ọwọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti, fún ọmú ìgbà èwe rẹ.
22 “[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
“Nítorí náà, Oholiba, báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò gbé olólùfẹ́ rẹ dìde sí ọ, àwọn tí o kẹ́yìn si ní ìtìjú, èmi yóò sì mú wọn dojúkọ ọ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà
23 soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
àwọn ará Babeli àti gbogbo ara Kaldea àwọn ọkùnrin Pekodi àti Ṣoa àti Koa àti gbogbo ará Asiria pẹ̀lú wọn, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà, gbogbo àwọn gómìnà àti balógun, olórí oníkẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn onípò gíga, gbogbo àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin.
24 Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
Wọn yóò wa dojúkọ ọ pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà, kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù àti pẹ̀lú ìwọ́jọpọ̀ ènìyàn; wọn yóò mú ìdúró wọn lòdì sí ọ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú asà ńlá àti kékeré pẹ̀lú àṣíborí. Èmi yóò yí ọ padà sí wọn fun ìjìyà, wọn yóò sì fi ìyà jẹ ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn tí tó.
25 Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
Èmi yóò sì dojú ìbínú owú mi kọ ọ́, wọn yóò sì fìyà jẹ ọ́ ní ìrunú. Wọ́n yóò gé àwọn imú àti àwọn etí yín kúrò, àwọn tí ó kù nínú yín yóò ti ipá idà ṣubú. Wọn yóò mú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín lọ, àwọn tí o kù nínú yín ni iná yóò jórun.
26 They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
Wọn yóò sì kó àwọn aṣọ àti àwọn ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ iyebíye yín.
27 In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
Èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti iṣẹ́ panṣágà tí ẹ bẹ̀rẹ̀ ni Ejibiti. Ẹ̀yin kò ní wo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú ìpòùngbẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò ní rántí Ejibiti mọ.
28 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
“Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi yóò fi ọ lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra, lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹni tí ọkàn rẹ ti ṣí kúrò.
29 They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
Wọn yóò fìyà jẹ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ìkórìíra, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tí o ṣiṣẹ́ fún lọ. Wọn yóò fi ọ́ sílẹ̀ ní ìhòhò goloto, ìtìjú iṣẹ́ panṣágà rẹ ni yóò farahàn. Ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀ àti panṣágà rẹ.
30 It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
Èmi yóò ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí ọ, nítorí ìwọ ti bá àwọn kèfèrí ṣe àgbèrè lọ, o sì fi àwọn òrìṣà wọn ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́.
31 You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
Ìwọ ti rin ọ̀nà ti ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ rìn, Èmi yóò sì fi ago rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
32 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
“Èyí yìí ní ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Ìwọ yóò mu nínú ago ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ, ago tí ó tóbi tí ó sì jinnú: yóò mú ìfiṣẹ̀sín àti ìfiṣe ẹlẹ́yà wá, nítorí tí ago náà gba nǹkan púpọ̀.
33 When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
Ìwọ yóò mu àmupara àti ìbànújẹ́, ago ìparun àti ìsọdahoro ago ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ Samaria.
34 You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Ìwọ yóò mú un ni àmugbẹ; ìwọ yóò sì fọ sí wẹ́wẹ́ ìwọ yóò sì fa ọmú rẹ̀ ya. Èmi ti sọ̀rọ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
35 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
“Nítorí náà báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Níwọ́n bí ìwọ ti gbàgbé mi, tí ìwọ sì ti fi mi sí ẹ̀yìn rẹ, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ gba àbájáde ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti panṣágà rẹ.”
36 Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
Olúwa sọ fún mi pé: “Ọmọ ènìyàn, ń jẹ́ ìwọ yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ Ohola àti Oholiba? Nítorí náà dojúkọ wọn nípa ìkórìíra tí wọn ń ṣe,
37 [It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
nítorí wọn ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ní ọwọ́ wọn. Wọn dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà wọn; kódà wọ́n fi àwọn ọmọ wọn tí wọn bí fún ni ṣe ìrúbọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí oúnjẹ fún wọn.
38 They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
Bákan náà ni wọ́n ti ṣe èyí náà sí mi. Ní àkókò kan náà wọn ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́, wọ́n sì lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní àìmọ́.
39 On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an wọ́n fi àwọn ọmọ wọn rú ẹbọ sí àwọn òrìṣà, wọn wọ ibi mímọ́ mi lọ wọn sì lò ó ní ìlòkulò. Ìyẹn ní wọn ṣe ní ilé mi.
40 They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
“Wọn tilẹ̀ rán oníṣẹ́ sí àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, nígbà tí wọ́n dé, ìwọ wẹ ara rẹ fún wọn, ìwọ kún ojú rẹ, ìwọ sì fi ọ̀ṣọ́ iyebíye sára.
41 They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
Ìwọ jókòó lórí ibùsùn ti o lẹ́wà, pẹ̀lú tábìlì tí a tẹ́ ní iwájú rẹ lórí, èyí tí o gbé tùràrí àti òróró tí ó jẹ́ tèmi kà.
42 Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
“Ariwo ìjọ ènìyàn tí kò bìkítà wà ní àyíká rẹ̀; a mú àwọn ara Sabeani láti aginjù pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin láti ara àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn aláìníláárí, wọ́n sì mú àwọn ẹ̀gbà ọrùn ọwọ́ sí àwọn ọwọ́ obìnrin náà àti ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀, adé dáradára sì wà ní orí wọn.
43 Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
Lẹ́yìn náà mo sọ̀rọ̀ nípa èyí tí ó lo ara rẹ̀ sá nípa panṣágà ṣíṣe, ‘Nísinsin yìí jẹ kí wọn lo o bí panṣágà, nítorí gbogbo ohun tí ó jẹ́ nìyẹn.’
44 So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
Wọn ba sùn bí ọkùnrin ti bá panṣágà sùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe sùn pẹ̀lú obìnrin onífẹ̀kúfẹ̀ẹ́, Ohola àti Oholiba.
45 But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin olódodo yóò pàṣẹ pé kí wọ́n fi ìyà jẹ àwọn obìnrin tí ó dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè tí ó sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ nítorí pé panṣágà ni wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ní ọwọ́ wọn.
46 So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Mú àgbájọ àwọn ènìyànkénìyàn wá sọ́dọ̀ wọn ki ó sì fi wọn lé ọwọ́ ìpayà àti ìkógun.
47 The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
Àwọn ènìyànkénìyàn náà yóò sọ wọ́n ni òkúta, yóò sì gé wọn lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà wọn; wọn ó sì pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn, wọ́n ó sì jó àwọn ilé wọn kanlẹ̀.”
48 In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
“Èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ni ilẹ̀ náà, kí gbogbo àwọn obìnrin le gba ìkìlọ̀ kí wọn kí ó ma sì ṣe fi ara wé ọ.
49 [people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Ìwọ yóò sì jìyà fún ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì gba àbájáde àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà tí o dá. Nígbà náà ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè.”
