Ezekiel 21
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ mi wá:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuaries; prophesy against the land of Israel.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọ ojú rẹ sí ìhà Jerusalẹmu, kí o sì wàásù lòdì sí ibi mímọ́. Sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
3 Say to the land of Israel, 'Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you! I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous person and the wicked person from you!
Kí ó sì sọ fún un pe, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa wí, Èmi lòdì sí ọ. Èmi yóò fa idà mi yọ kúrò nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì ké olódodo àti ènìyàn búburú kúrò ni àárín yín.
4 In order for me to cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you, my sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
Nítorí pé, èmi yóò ké olódodo àti olùṣe búburú kúrò, idà mi yóò jáde láti inú àkọ̀ rẹ̀ lòdì sí gbogbo ènìyàn láti gúúsù títí dé àríwá.
5 Then all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have drawn my sword from its sheath. It will no longer hold back!'
Nígbà náà gbogbo ènìyàn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti yọ idà mi kúrò nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀; kì yóò sì padà sínú rẹ̀ mọ́.’
6 As for you, son of man, groan as your loins break! In bitterness groan before their eyes!
“Nítorí náà, mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn ìwọ ọmọ ènìyàn! Mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìbànújẹ́ àti ẹ̀dùn ọkàn kíkorò ní iwájú wọn.
7 Then it will happen that they will ask you, 'For what reason are you groaning?' Then you will say, 'Because of the news that is coming, for every heart will faint away, and every hand will falter! Every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will flow like water. Behold! It is coming and it will be like this!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
Bí wọ́n bá sì bi ọ́, wí pé, ‘Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ fi ń mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn?’ Ìwọ yóò wí pé, ‘Nítorí ìròyìn tí ó ń bẹ. Gbogbo ọkàn ni yóò yọ́, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni yóò sì di aláìlera; gbogbo ọkàn ní yóò dákú, gbogbo eékún ni yóò sì di aláìlera bí omi?’ Ó ń bọ̀! Yóò sì wa sí ìmúṣẹ dandan, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa si tún tọ̀ mí wá pé:
9 “Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord says this: “Say: A sword! A sword! It will be sharpened and polished!
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ wí pé, èyí yìí ní Olúwa wí pé, “‘Idà kan, idà kan, tí a pọ́n, tí a sì dán pẹ̀lú,
10 It will be sharpened in order to engage in great slaughter! It will be polished in order to be like lightning! Should we rejoice in my son's scepter? The coming sword hates every such rod!
a pọ́n láti pa ènìyàn púpọ̀, a dán an láti máa kọ mọ̀nà! “‘Àwa o ha máa ṣe àríyá ọ̀gọ ọmọ mi? Idà gán gbogbo irú igi bẹ́ẹ̀.
11 So the sword will be given to be polished, and then to be grasped by the hand! The sword is sharpened and it is polished and it is to be given into the hand of the one who kills!”'”
“‘Idà ní a yàn láti pọ́n, kí ó lè ṣe é gbámú; a pọ́n ọn, a sì dán an, ó ṣetán fún ọwọ́ àwọn apani.
12 Call for help and lament, son of man! For that sword has come against my people! It is against all the leaders of Israel. They are thrown against the sword with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh!
Sọkún síta, kí ó sì pohùnréré ẹ̀kún, ọmọ ènìyàn, nítorí yóò wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn mi; yóò wá sórí gbogbo ọmọ-aládé Israẹli ìbẹ̀rù ńlá yóò wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn mi nítorí idà náà; nítorí náà lu oókan àyà rẹ.
13 For there is a trial, but what if the scepter does not last?—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
“‘Ìdánwò yóò dé dandan. Tí ọ̀pá aládé Juda èyí tí idà kẹ́gàn, kò bá tẹ̀síwájú mọ́ ń kọ́? Ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’
14 Now you, son of man, prophesy and hit your two hands together, for the sword will attack even a third time! A sword for the ones to be slaughtered! It is a sword for the many to be slaughtered, piercing them everywhere!
“Nítorí náà, ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì fi ọwọ́ lu ọwọ́. Jẹ́ kí idà lu ara wọn lẹ́ẹ̀méjì, kódà ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta. Ó jẹ́ idà fún ìpànìyàn idà fún ìpànìyàn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, tí yóò sé wọn mọ́ níhìn-ín àti lọ́hùnnún.
15 In order to melt their hearts and to multiply their fallen, I have set the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Ah! It is made like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.
Kí ọkàn kí ó lè yọ́ kí àwọn tí ó ṣubú le pọ̀, mo ti gbé idà sí gbogbo bodè fún ìparun. Háà! A mú kí ó kọ bí ìmọ̀nàmọ́ná, a gbá a mú fún ìparun.
16 You, sword! Strike to the right! Strike to the left! Go wherever your face is turned.
Ìwọ idà, jà sí ọ̀tún kí o sì jà sí òsì lọ ibikíbi tí ẹnu rẹ bá dojúkọ.
17 For I will also hit my two hands together, and then I will bring my fury to rest! I, Yahweh, declare it!”
Èmi gan an yóò pàtẹ́wọ́ ìbínú mi yóò sì rẹlẹ̀. Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀.”
18 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ mi wá:
19 “Now you, son of man, assign two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to come. The two roads will start in the same land, and a signpost will mark one of them as leading to a city.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn la ọ̀nà méjì fún idà ọba Babeli láti gbà, kí méjèèjì bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ìlú kan náà. Ṣe àmì sí ìkóríta ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí ìlú náà.
20 Mark one road for the Babylonian army to come to Rabbah, the city of the Ammonites. Mark the other to lead the army to Judah and the city of Jerusalem, which is fortified.
La ọ̀nà kan fún idà láti wá kọlu Rabba ti àwọn ará Ammoni kí òmíràn kọlu Juda, kí ó sì kọlu Jerusalẹmu ìlú olódi.
21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the crossroads, at the junction, in order to practice divination. He will shake some arrows and ask direction from some idols and he will examine a liver.
Nítorí ọba Babeli yóò dúró ni ìyànà ní ojú ọ̀nà, ní ìkóríta, láti máa lo àfọ̀ṣẹ. Yóò fi ọfà di ìbò, yóò béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀, òun yóò ṣe àyẹ̀wò ẹ̀dọ̀.
22 In his right hand will be an omen about Jerusalem, to set battering rams against it, to open his mouth to order the slaughter, to sound a war cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect siege towers.
Nínú ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ni ìbò Jerusalẹmu yóò ti wá, ní ibi tí yóò ti gbé afárá kalẹ̀, láti pàṣẹ fún àwọn apànìyàn, láti mú ki wọn hó ìhó ogun láti gbé òòlù dí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibodè, láti mọ odi, àti láti kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́.
23 It will seem to be a useless omen in the eyes of the ones in Jerusalem, those who had sworn an oath to the Babylonians! But the king will accuse them of violating their treaty in order to besiege them!
Àfọ̀ṣẹ náà yóò dàbí àmì èké sí àwọn tí ó ti búra ìtẹríba fún un, ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò ran wọn létí ẹbí wọn yóò sì mú wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
24 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, making your transgressions to be revealed, so that in all your actions your sins will be seen— because you have done this you will be taken in hand.
“Nítorí náà èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: ‘Nítorí ti ẹ̀yin ti mú ẹ̀bi yín wá sí ìrántí nípa ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní gbangba, ní ṣíṣe àfihàn àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe èyí, a yóò mú yín ní ìgbèkùn.
25 As for you, profane and wicked ruler of Israel, whose day of punishment has come, and whose time of committing iniquity has ended,
“‘Ìwọ aláìmọ́ àti ẹni búburú ọmọ-aládé Israẹli, ẹni ti ọjọ́ rẹ̀ ti dé, ẹni tí àsìkò ìjìyà rẹ̀ ti dé góńgó,
26 the Lord Yahweh says this to you: Remove the turban and take off the crown! Things will no longer be the same! Exalt the lowly and humble the exalted!
èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, tú ìwérí kúrò kí o sì gbé adé kúrò. Kò ní rí bí ti tẹ́lẹ̀, ẹni ìgbéga ni a yóò sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until the one comes who is assigned to execute judgment.
Ìparun! Ìparun! Èmi yóò ṣé e ni ìparun! Kì yóò padà bọ̀ sípò bí kò ṣe pé tí ó bá wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti ni in; òun ni èmi yóò fi fún.’
28 So you, son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the people of Ammon concerning their coming disgrace: A sword, a sword is drawn! It is sharpened for the slaughter in order to devour, so it will be like lightning!
“Àti ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí nípa àwọn ará Ammoni àti àbùkù wọn: “‘Idà kan idà kan tí á fa yọ fún ìpànìyàn tí a dán láti fi ènìyàn ṣòfò àti láti kọ bí ìmọ̀nàmọ́ná!
29 While prophets see empty visions for you, while they perform rituals to come up with lies for you, this sword will lie on the necks of the wicked who are about to be killed, whose day of punishment has come and whose time of iniquity is about to end.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a rí èké nípa yín àti àfọ̀ṣẹ èké nípa yín a yóò gbé e lé àwọn ọrùn ènìyàn búburú ti a ó pa, àwọn tí ọjọ́ wọn ti dé, àwọn tí ọjọ́ ìjìyà wọn ti dé góńgó.
30 Return the sword to its sheath. In the place of your creation, in the land of your origin, I will judge you!
“‘Dá idà padà sínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀. Níbi tí a gbé ṣẹ̀dá yín, ní ibi tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣẹ̀ wá.
31 I will pour out my indignation on you! I will fan the fire of my rage against you and put you into the hand of cruel men, craftsmen of destruction!
Níbẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti ṣe ìdájọ́ yín, èmi o sì fi èémí ìbínú gbígbóná mi bá yín jà.
32 You will become fuel for the fire! Your blood will be in the midst of the land. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh have declared this!'”
Ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ èpò fún iná náà, a yóò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yin sórí ilẹ̀ yín, a kì yóò rántí yín mọ́; nítorí Èmi Olúwa ní ó ti wí bẹ́ẹ̀.’”
