Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn òkè gíga Israẹli kí o sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin òkè gíga Israẹli gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àwọn ọ̀tá sọ nípa yín pé, “Háà! Àwọn ibi gíga ìgbàanì ti di ohun ìní wa.”’
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
Nítorí náà, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé wọn sọ ọ di ahoro, tí wọn sì ń dọdẹ rẹ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà kí ìwọ kí ó lè di ìní fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù, àti ohun ti àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ ìríra àti ìdíbàjẹ́ sí,
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin òkè gíga Israẹli gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Olódùmarè, èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí fún àwọn òkè gíga àti àwọn òkè kéékèèké, fún àfonífojì ńlá àti àfonífojì kéékèèké, fún àwọn ibi ìsọdahoro ìparun àti fún àwọn ìlú tí a ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ tí a ti kó tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù ní àyíká sì fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà,

Nítorí náà, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa ilẹ̀ Israẹli náà kí o sì sọ sí àwọn òkè gíga náà àti àwọn òkè kéékèèké, sí àwọn àfonífojì ńlá àti sí àwọn àfonífojì kéékèèké, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìrunú owú mi nítorí pé ìwọ ti jìyà ìfiṣẹ̀sín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Nítorí náà, èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi ṣe ìbúra nípa nína ọwọ́ mi sókè pé; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àyíká rẹ náà yóò jìyà ìfiṣẹ̀sín.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, òkè gíga Israẹli, yóò mú ẹ̀ka àti èso fún àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli, nítorí wọn yóò wá sílé ní àìpẹ́ yìí.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Èmi ń ṣe àníyàn fún ọ, èmi yóò sì fi rere wọ̀ ọ́; àwa yóò tu ọ́, àwa yóò sì gbìn ọ́,
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
èmi yóò sì sọ iye àwọn ènìyàn di púpọ̀ nínú rẹ àti gbogbo ilé Israẹli. Àwọn ìlú yóò di ibùgbé, a yóò sì tún àwọn ibi ìparun kọ́.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Èmi yóò sọ iye ènìyàn àti ẹran dì púpọ̀ nínú yín, wọn yóò sì so èso, wọn yóò sì di púpọ̀ yanturu. Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn máa gbé nínú rẹ bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, èmi yóò sì mú kí o ṣe rere ju ìgbà àtijọ́ lọ. Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò mọ pé èmi ni Olúwa.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn, àní àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli, rìn lórí rẹ̀. Wọn yóò gbà ọ́, ìwọ yóò sì di ogún ìní wọn; ìwọ kì yóò sì gba àwọn ọmọ wọn lọ́wọ́ wọn mọ́.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
“‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn sọ fún ọ pé, “Ìwọ pa àwọn ènìyàn run, ìwọ sì gba àwọn ọmọ orílẹ̀-èdè lọ́wọ́ wọn,”
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
nítorí náà ìwọ kì yóò pa àwọn ènìyàn run tàbí mú kì orílẹ̀-èdè di aláìlọ́mọ mọ́, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
Èmi kì yóò mú ki ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́, ìwọ kì yóò jìyà ọ̀rọ̀ ìfiṣẹ̀sín láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tàbí mú kí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ ṣubú, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Síwájú sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n bà á jẹ́ nípa ìwà àti ìṣe wọn. Ìwà wọn dàbí nǹkan àkókò àwọn obìnrin ni ojú mi.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Nítorí náà mo tú ìbínú mi jáde sórí wọn nítorí wọn ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ àti nítorí pé wọ́n ti fi ère wọn ba a jẹ́.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Mo tú wọn ká sí àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, a sì fọ́n wọn ká sí àwọn ìlú; mo ṣe ìdájọ́ wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
Gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n lọ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ni wọn ti sọ orúkọ mímọ́ mi di aláìmọ́, nítorí tí a sọ nípa wọn pé, ‘Ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa, síbẹ̀ wọn ní láti fi ilẹ̀ náà sílẹ̀.’
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Orúkọ mímọ́ mi jẹ́ mi lógún, èyí tí ilé Israẹli sọ di aláìmọ́ ni àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n ti lọ.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
“Nítorí náà, sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kì í ṣe nítorí rẹ, ìwọ ilé Israẹli, ni èmi yóò ṣe ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mímọ́ mi, èyí ti ìwọ ti sọ di aláìmọ́ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti lọ.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Èmi yóò fi jíjẹ́ mímọ́ orúkọ ńlá mi, èyí tí a ti sọ di aláìmọ́ hàn ni àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, orúkọ tí ìwọ ti sọ di aláìmọ́ ni àárín wọn. Nígbà náà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, nígbà tí mo bá fi ara mi hàn ni mímọ́ nípasẹ̀ yín ni iwájú wọn.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
“‘Nítorí èmi yóò mú yín jáde kúrò ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà; Èmi yóò ṣà yín jọ kúrò ní gbogbo àwọn ìlú náà; Èmi yóò sì mú yín padà sí ilẹ̀ ẹ̀yin tìkára yín.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
Èmi yóò wọ́n omi tó mọ́ sí yín lára ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ́; Èmi yóò sì fọ̀ yín mọ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo ìwà èérí yin gbogbo àti kúrò nínú gbogbo òrìṣà yin.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Èmi yóò fún yín ni ọkàn tuntun, èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀mí tuntun sínú yín; Èmi yóò sì mú ọkàn òkúta kúrò nínú yín, èmi yóò sì fi ọkàn ẹran fún yín.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí mi sínú yín, èmi yóò sì mú ki ẹ tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, kí ẹ sì fiyèsí àti pa òfin mi mọ́.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa gbé ilẹ̀ náà tí mo ti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín; ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
Èmi yóò sì gbà yín kúrò nínú gbogbo ìwà àìmọ́ yín. Èmi yóò pèsè ọkà, èmi yóò sì mú kí ó pọ̀ yanturu, èmi kì yóò sì mú ìyàn wá sí orí yín.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
Èmi yóò sọ èso àwọn igi yín àti ohun ọ̀gbìn oko yín di púpọ̀, nítorí kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe jìyà ìdójútì mọ́ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà nítorí ìyàn.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò rántí àwọn ọ̀nà búburú àti àwọn ìwà ìkà yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì kórìíra ara yín fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, ìwà tí kò bójúmu.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ń kò ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí nítorí yín, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. Jẹ kí ojú kí ó tì yín, kí ẹ sì gba ẹ̀tẹ́ nítorí ìwà yín ẹ̀yin ilé Israẹli!
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
“‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ tí mo wẹ̀ yín kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín gbogbo, èmi yóò ṣe àtúnṣe àwọn ìlú yín, wọn yóò sì ṣe àtúnkọ́ ìwólulẹ̀.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
Ilẹ̀ ahoro náà ní àwa yóò tún kọ́ ti kì yóò wà ní ahoro lójú àwọn tí ó ń gba ibẹ̀ kọjá mọ́.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Wọn yóò sọ wí pé, “Ilẹ̀ yìí tí ó ti wà ní ahoro tẹ́lẹ̀ ti dàbí ọgbà Edeni; àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní wíwó lulẹ̀, ahoro tí a ti parun, ni àwa yóò mọdi sí tí yóò sì wà fún gbígbé ni ìsinsin yìí.”
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Nígbà náà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà ní àyíká yín tí ó kù yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti tún àwọn ohun tí ó bàjẹ́ kọ́, mo sì ti tún ohun tí ó di ìṣòfo gbìn. Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, èmi yóò sì ṣe e?’
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
“Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ: Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i èmi yóò yí sí ilé Israẹli, èmi yóò sì ṣe èyí fún wọn. Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn yín pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ bí àgùntàn,
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
kí ó pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran fún ìrúbọ ní Jerusalẹmu ní àsìkò àjọ̀dún tí a yàn. Ìlú ti a parun yóò wá kún fún agbo àwọn ènìyàn. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.”
