< 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.
In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
2 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
The LORD’s word 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 Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’
4 “Za ka hukunta su? Za ka hukunta su, ɗan mutum? To, sai ka kalubalance su da ayyukan banƙyamar kakanninsu
“Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations 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.”
Tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, 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 swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is 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.”
I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Don’t defile yourselves with the idols 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 rebelled against me and wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of 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.
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10 Saboda haka na fisshe su daga Masar na kawo su cikin hamada.
So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and 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.
I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.
12 Na kuma ba su Asabbataina kamar alama tsakaninmu, domin su san cewa Ni Ubangiji ne yake tsarkake su.
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies 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.
“‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on 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 worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight 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,
Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is 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 rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17 Duk da haka na dube su ta tausayi ba zan hallaka su ko in kawo ƙarshensu a hamada ba.
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full 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.
I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; ku bi ƙa’idodina ku kuma kula ku kiyaye dokokina.
I am the LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my 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.”
Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you 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 the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
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.
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
23 Na kuma ɗaga hannu na rantse musu cewa zan watsar da su cikin al’ummai in kuma warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe,
Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through 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 executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Na kuma ba da su ga farillan da ba su da kyau da dokokin da ba za su rayu ta wurinsu ba;
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they couldn’t 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.’
I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.”’
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 tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass 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 brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There they also made their pleasant aroma, 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.)
Then I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called 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?
“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute 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.
When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you!
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.
“‘“That which comes into your mind will not be at all, in that you say, ‘We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve 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.
As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, 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.
I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
35 Zan kawo ku cikin hamadar al’ummai a can kuwa, fuska da fuska, zan hukunta ku.
I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 Yadda na hukunta kakanninku a hamadar ƙasar Masar, haka zan hukunta ku, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” says the Lord GOD.
37 Zan lura da ku yayinda kuke wucewa ƙarƙashin sanda, zan kuma kawo ku cikin daurin alkawari.
“I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
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.
I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know 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, house of Israel, the Lord GOD says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts and with your idols.
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 mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, 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 accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in 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.
You will know that I am the LORD when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore 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.
There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
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.’”
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.’”
45 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
The LORD’s word 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 your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in 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.
Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear the LORD’s word: The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, 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.’”
All flesh will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.”’”
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 GOD! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’”
