Ezekiyel 20
1 A shekara ta bakwai, a wata na biyar a rana ta goma, waɗansu dattawan Isra’ila suka zo don su nemi nufin Ubangiji, suka kuwa zauna a ƙasa a gabana.
Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.
2 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
3 “Ɗan mutum, ka yi magana da dattawan Isra’ila ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa kun zo ne ku nemi shawarata? Muddin ina raye, ba zan bari ku nemi shawarata ba, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’
Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.
4 “Za ka hukunta su? Za ka hukunta su, ɗan mutum? To, sai ka kalubalance su da ayyukan banƙyamar kakanninsu
Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,
5 ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a ranar da na zaɓi Isra’ila, na ɗaga hannuna, na rantse wa zuriyar gidan Yaƙub na kuma bayyana kaina gare su a Masar da hannun da na ɗaga na ce musu, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God;
6 A ranar na yi musu rantsuwa cewa zan fitar da su daga Masar zuwa ƙasar da na samo musu, ƙasa mai zub da madara da zuma, ƙasa mafi kyau cikin dukan ƙasashe.
In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:
7 Na kuma ce musu, “Kowannenku ya zubar da mugayen siffofin da kuka kafa idanunku a kai, kuma kada ku ƙazantar da kanku da gumakan Masar. Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
8 “‘Amma sai suka yi tawaye a kaina ba su kuwa saurare ni ba; ba su zubar da mugayen siffofin da suka kafa idanunsu a kai ba, balle su ƙi gumakan Masar. Saboda haka zan zubo hasalata a kansu in kuma aukar musu da fushina a Masar.
But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.
9 Amma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da suka zauna a ciki da kuma a idanun al’ummai da na bayyana kaina ga Isra’ilawa ta wurin fitar da su daga Masar.
And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.
10 Saboda haka na fisshe su daga Masar na kawo su cikin hamada.
So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land.
11 Na ba su ƙa’idodina na kuma sanar musu da dokokina, gama mutumin da ya yi biyayya da su zai rayu ta wurinsu.
And I gave them my rules and made clear to them my orders, which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him.
12 Na kuma ba su Asabbataina kamar alama tsakaninmu, domin su san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne yake tsarkake su.
And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.
13 “‘Duk da haka mutanen Isra’ila suka yi mini tawaye a cikin hamada. Ba su bi ƙa’idodina ba amma suka ki dokokina, ko da yake mutumin da ya yi biyayya da su zai rayu ta wurinsu, suka ɓata Asabbataina ƙwarai. Saboda haka na ce zan zuba hasalata a kansu in kuma hallaka su a hamada.
But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.
14 Amma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da a idonsu na fisshe su.
And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
15 Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu a hamada cewa ba zan kawo su ƙasar da na ba su ba, ƙasa mai zub da madara da zuma, ƙasa mafi kyau cikin dukan ƙasashe,
And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;
16 domin sun ƙi dokokina ba su kuwa bi ƙa’idodina ba suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina. Gama zukatansu sun fi so su bauta wa gumakansu.
Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.
17 Duk da haka na dube su ta tausayi ba zan hallaka su ko in kawo ƙarshensu a hamada ba.
But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.
18 Na faɗa wa’ya’yansu a hamada, “Kada ku bi farillai kakanninku ko ku kiyaye dokokinsu ko ku ƙazantar da kanku da gumakansu.
And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:
19 Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; ku bi ƙa’idodina ku kuma kula ku kiyaye dokokina.
I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them:
20 Ku kiyaye Asabbataina da tsarki, don su zama alama tsakaninmu. Ta haka za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku.”
And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.
21 “‘Amma’ya’yan suka yi mini tawaye. Ba su bi ƙa’idodina ba, ba su kula su kiyaye dokokina ba, ko da yake mutumin da ya kiyaye su zai rayu ta wurinsu, suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina. Saboda haka na ce zan zuba hasalata a kansu in kuma aukar musu da fushina a hamada.
But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.
22 Amma na janye hannuna, kuma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da a idonsu na fisshe su.
And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
23 Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu cewa zan watsar da su cikin al’ummai in kuma warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe,
Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;
24 domin ba su kiyaye dokokina ba amma suka ƙi ƙa’idodina suka kuma ƙazantar da Asabbataina, idanunsu suka yi sha’awar gumakan kakanninsu.
Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.
25 Na kuma ba da su ga farillan da ba su da kyau da dokokin da ba za su rayu ta wurinsu ba;
And further, I gave them rules which were not good and orders in which there was no life for them;
26 na bari suka ƙazantu ta wurin kyautai, hadayar kowane ɗan fari don in cika su da abin tsoro domin su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’
I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.
27 “Saboda haka, ɗan mutum, ka yi magana da mutanen Isra’ila ka faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a wannan kuma kakanninku suka saɓe ni ta wurin yashe ni.
For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.
28 Sa’ad da na kawo su cikin ƙasar da na rantse zan ba su suka kuma ga tudu mai tsawo ko itace mai ganye, a can suka miƙa hadayunsu, suka yi sadakokin da suka tsokane ni na yi fushi, suka miƙa turaren ƙanshinsu suka kuma zuba sadakokinsu na sha.
For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.
29 Sai na ce musu, Wane ɗakin tsafi kuke tafiya?’” (Ana ce da shi Bama har wa yau.)
Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.
30 “Domin haka ka faɗa wa gidan Isra’ila, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa za ku ƙazantar da kanku yadda kakanninku suka yi ne ku yi sha’awar mugayen siffofinsu?
For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?
31 Sa’ad da kuka miƙa kyautai naku, hadayar’ya’yanku maza a wuta, kuna cin gaba da ƙazantar da kanku da duka gumakanku har wa yau. Zan bari ku nemi shawarata, ya gidan Isra’ila? Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ba zan bari ku nemi shawarata ba.
And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.
32 “‘Kukan ce, “Kuna so ku zama kamar sauran al’ummai, kamar sauran mutanen duniya, waɗanda suke bauta wa itace da dutse.” Amma abin da kuke tunani ba zai taɓa faruwa ba.
And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;
33 Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, zan yi mulki a kanku da hannu mai iko da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi da kuma fushi.
By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:
34 Zan fitar da ku daga al’ummai in tattara ku daga ƙasashe inda aka warwatsa ku, da hannu mai iko da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi da kuma fushi.
And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:
35 Zan kawo ku cikin hamadar al’ummai a can kuwa, fuska da fuska, zan hukunta ku.
And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.
36 Yadda na hukunta kakanninku a hamadar ƙasar Masar, haka zan hukunta ku, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.
37 Zan lura da ku yayinda kuke wucewa ƙarƙashin sanda, zan kuma kawo ku cikin daurin alkawari.
And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:
38 Zan fitar da waɗanda suke mini tayarwa da kuma’yan tawaye. Ko da yake zan fitar da su daga ƙasar da suke zama, duk da haka ba za su shiga ƙasar Isra’ila ba. Sa’an nan za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.
Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
39 “‘Game da ku, ya gidan Isra’ila, ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ku tafi ku bauta wa gumakanku, kowannenku! Amma daga baya tabbatacce za ku saurare ni ba kuwa za ku ƙara ɓata sunana mai tsarki da hadayunku da gumakanku ba.
As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.
40 Gama a kan dutsena mai tsarki, dutse mai tsayi na Isra’ila, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, a can a ƙasar gidan Isra’ila gaba ɗaya za su bauta mini, a can kuwa zan karɓe su. A can zan bukaci hadayunku da sadake sadakenku mafi kyau, tare da dukan tsarkakan hadayunku.
For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.
41 Zan karɓe ku kamar turare mai ƙanshi sa’ad da na fitar da ku daga al’ummai na kuma tattara ku daga ƙasashe inda aka warwatsa ku, zan kuma nuna kaina mai tsarki a cikinku a idon al’ummai.
I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.
42 Sa’an nan za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji sa’ad da na kawo ku cikin ƙasar Isra’ila, ƙasar da na ɗaga hannu na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you into the land of Israel, into the country which I made an oath to give to your fathers.
43 A can za ku tuna da halinku da kuma dukan ayyukanku waɗanda kuka ɓata kanku da su, za ku kuwa ji ƙyamar kanku saboda mugayen abubuwan da kuka aikata.
And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.
44 Za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji, sa’ad da na yi muku haka saboda sunana ba bisa ga mugayen hanyoyinku da ayyukanku marasa kyau ba, ya gidan Isra’ila, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’”
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you in hand for the honour of my name, and not for your evil ways or your unclean doings, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
45 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
46 “Ɗan mutum, ka kafa fuskarka wajen kudu; ka yi wa’azi a kan kudu ka kuma yi annabci a kan kurmin ƙasar kudu.
Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
47 Ka faɗa wa kurmin kudanci, ‘Ji maganar Ubangiji. Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ina gab da sa maka wuta, za tă kuwa cinye dukan itatuwanki sarai, da ɗanye da busasshe. Ba za a kashe wutar da take ci ba, kuma kowace fuska a kudu zuwa arewa za tă ƙone.
And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
48 Kowa zai san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne ya ƙuna ta; ba za a kashe ta ba.’”
And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
49 Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Suna zance a kaina cewa, ‘Ba misalai kawai yake yi ba?’”
Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?
