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.
And it came to pass in the seventh year, on the fifteenth day of the month, there came men of the elders of the house of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.
2 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And 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, speak to the elders of the house of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Are ye come to enquire of me? [As] I live, I will not be enquired of by you, saith the Lord.
4 “Za ka hukunta su? Za ka hukunta su, ɗan mutum? To, sai ka kalubalance su da ayyukan banƙyamar kakanninsu
Shall I utterly take vengeance on them, son of man? testify to them of the iniquities 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 thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; From the day that I chose the house of Israel, and became known to the seed of the house of Jacob, and was known to them in the land of Egypt, and helped them with my hand, saying, 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 helped them with my hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into the land which I prepared for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is abundant beyond every land.
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 one cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the devices 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 revolted from me, and would not hearken to me: they cast not away the abominations of their eyes, and forsook not the devices of Egypt: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my wrath upon them in the midst 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.
But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, among whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
10 Saboda haka na fisshe su daga Masar na kawo su cikin hamada.
And I brought them into the wilderness.
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 commandments, and made known to them mine ordinances, all which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them.
12 Na kuma ba su Asabbataina kamar alama tsakaninmu, domin su san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne yake tsarkake su.
And I gave them my sabbaths, that they should be for a sign between me and them, that they should know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.
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.
And I said to the house of Israel in the wilderness, Walk ye in my commandments: but they walked not [in them], and they rejected mine ordinances, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them; and they grievously profaned my sabbaths: and I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Amma saboda sunana na yi abin da zai kiyaye shi daga ƙazantuwa a idanun al’umman da a idonsu na fisshe su.
But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought 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,
But I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness once for all, that I would not bring them into the land which I gave them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is sweeter than 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 rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my commandments, but profaned my sabbaths, and went after the imaginations of their hearts.
17 Duk da haka na dube su ta tausayi ba zan hallaka su ko in kawo ƙarshensu a hamada ba.
Yet mine eyes spared them, so as [not] to destroy them utterly, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.
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 wilderness, Walk not ye in the customs of your fathers, and keep not their ordinances, and have no fellowship with their practices, nor defile yourselves [with them].
19 Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; ku bi ƙa’idodina ku kuma kula ku kiyaye dokokina.
I [am] the Lord your God; walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, 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 hallow my sabbaths, and let them be a sign between me and you, that ye may know 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 they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.
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.
But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight.
23 Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu cewa zan watsar da su cikin al’ummai in kuma warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe,
I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles, [and] disperse them in 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 kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations 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;
So I gave them commandments [that were] not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.
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.’
And I will defile them by their [own] decrees, when I pass through upon every one that opens the womb, that I may destroy 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.
Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord: Hitherto have your fathers provoked me in their trespasses in which they transgressed 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.
Whereas I brought them into the land concerning which I lifted up mine hand to give it them; and they looked upon every high hill, and every shady tree, and they sacrificed there to their gods, and offered there sweet-smelling savour, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.
29 Sai na ce musu, Wane ɗakin tsafi kuke tafiya?’” (Ana ce da shi Bama har wa yau.)
And I said to them, What is Abama, that ye go in thither? and they called its name Abama, until 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?
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Do ye pollute yourselves with the iniquities of your fathers, and do ye go a-whoring after their abominations,
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 [do ye pollute yourselves] with the first-fruits of your gifts, in the offerings wherewith ye pollute yourselves in all your imaginations, until this day; and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord, I will not answer you, neither shall this thing come upon your spirit.
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 it shall not be as ye say, We will be as the nations, and as the tribes of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.
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.
Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath:
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.
I will bring you out from the nations, and will take you out of the lands wherein ye were dispersed, with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath.
35 Zan kawo ku cikin hamadar al’ummai a can kuwa, fuska da fuska, zan hukunta ku.
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and will plead with you there face to face.
36 Yadda na hukunta kakanninku a hamadar ƙasar Masar, haka zan hukunta ku, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I judge you, saith the Lord.
37 Zan lura da ku yayinda kuke wucewa ƙarƙashin sanda, zan kuma kawo ku cikin daurin alkawari.
And I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will bring you in by 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.
And I will separate from among you the ungodly and the revolters; for I will lead them forth out of their place of sojourning, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord, [even] 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.
And [as to] you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord; Put away each one his [evil] practices, and hereafter if ye hearken to me, then shall ye no more profane my holy name by your gifts and by devices.
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 upon my holy mountain, on the high mountain, saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, there shall all the house of Israel serve me for ever: and there will I accept [you], and there will I have respect to your first-fruits, and the first-fruits of your offerings, in 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 accept you with a sweet-smelling savour, when I bring you out from the nations, and take you out of the countries wherein ye have been dispersed; and I will be sanctified among you in the sight 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 ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it 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 ye shall there remember your ways, and your devices wherewith ye defiled yourselves; and ye shall bewail yourselves for all your wickedness.
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 ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done thus to you, that my name may not be profaned in your evil ways, and in your corrupt devices, saith the Lord.
45 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And 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, set thy face against Thaeman, and look toward Darom, and prophesy against the chief forest of Nageb,
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 thou shalt say to the forest of Nageb, Hear the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord; Behold, I [will] kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame that is kindled shall not be quenched, and every face shall be scorched with it from the south to the north.
48 Kowa zai san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne ya ƙuna ta; ba za a kashe ta ba.’”
And all flesh shall know that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Sai na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Suna zance a kaina cewa, ‘Ba misalai kawai yake yi ba?’”
And I said, Not so, O Lord God! they say to me, Is not this that is spoken a parable?
