Ezekiyel 3
1 Ya kuma ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, ka ci abin da yake a gabanka, ka ci wannan littafi; sa’an nan ka tafi ka yi magana wa gidan Isra’ila.”
“Son of man,” he told me, “eat what you find placed before you. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 Saboda haka na buɗe bakina, ya kuma ba ni littafin in ci.
I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Sai ya ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, ka ci wannan littafin da nake ba ka, ka kuma cika cikinka da shi.” Sai na ci shi, ya kuma yi zaki kamar zuma a bakina.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “eat and fill yourself up with this scroll I'm giving you.” So I ate the scroll, and it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Sa’an nan ya ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, yanzu ka tafi gidan Isra’ila ka faɗa kalmomina gare su.
Then he told me, “Son of man, now you are to go to the people of Israel and give my message to them.
5 Ba ina aikan ka wurin mutanen da suke da baƙon harshe da kuma yare mai wuya ba ne, amma zuwa ga gidan Isra’ila ne,
I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know—but to the people of Israel.
6 ba ga mutane da yawa na baƙon harshe da yare mai wuya, waɗanda ba ka san kalmominsu ba. Tabbatacce da na aike ka wurin irinsu, da sun saurare ka.
As I say, I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know, whose words you don't understand. On the other hand, if I had sent you to foreigners, they would have listened to you.
7 Amma gidan Isra’ila ba sa niyya su saurare ka domin ba sa niyya su saurare ni, gama dukan gidan Isra’ila sun taurare suna kuma kin ji.
But the people of Israel won't want to listen to you, because they don't want to listen to me. All the Israelites are strong-minded and hard-hearted.
8 Amma zan sa ka zama mai taurinkai da taurin zuciya kamar su.
Look! I'm going to make you as tough as them, and as strong-minded as them.
9 Zan sa goshinka ya zama da tauri kamar dutse, da tauri fiye da dutsen ƙanƙara ƙarfi. Kada ka ji tsoronsu ko ka firgita ta wurinsu, ko da yake su gidan’yan tawaye ne.”
I will make your mind like adamant, harder than flint. Don't be afraid of what they say or discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious people.”
10 Ya kuma ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, ka ji da kyau ka kuma lura da dukan kalmomin da nake maka magana.
“Son of man,” he added, “pay close attention to everything I tell you, and think deeply about it yourself.
11 Ka tafi yanzu zuwa ga’yan’uwanka waɗanda suke zaman bauta ka yi musu magana. Ka ce musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa,’ ko ku ji, ko kada ku ji.”
Go to your people who are in exile. Tell them this is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not.”
12 Sa’an nan Ruhu ya ɗaga ni sama, a bayana na ji wata karar babban motsi na cewa, Bari a yabi ɗaukakar Ubangiji a wurin zamansa!
The Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a really loud noise behind me that sounded like an earthquake. (Praise to the Lord's glory where he lives!)
13 Karar fikafikan rayayyun halittun nan ne suke goge junansu da kuma karar da’irorin nan da suke kusa da su, ƙarar babban motsi.
It was the sound made by the wings of the beings as they brushed against each other and the noise made by the wheels next to them, a really loud noise that sounded like an earthquake.
14 Sa’an nan Ruhu ya ɗaga ni sama ya kuma tafi da ni, na kuwa tafi da ɓacin rai da kuma fushin ruhuna, tare da hannu mai ƙarfi na Ubangiji a bisa na.
As I said, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. As I went I was feeling upset and angry; however the Lord's power had taken full control of me.
15 Na zo wurin masu zaman bautan da suke zama a Tel Abib kusa da Kogin Kebar, A can kuwa, inda suke zama, na zauna a cikinsu kwana bakwai, ina mamaki.
I arrived at the place where the exiles lived, Tel-abib by the River Kebar. I just sat with them, staying with them there for seven days. I was completely overcome with emotion.
16 A ƙarshen kwana bakwai ɗin maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
After the seven days had passed, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
17 “Ɗan mutum, na mai da kai mai tsaro don gidan Isra’ila; saboda haka ka ji maganar da zan yi ka kuma yi musu kashedin nan da ya fito daga gare ni.
“Son of man, I have chosen you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Whenever I give you a message, then you must warn them for me.
18 In na ce wa mugu, ‘Lalle za ka mutu,’ ba ka kuwa yi masa kashedi ko ka tsawata masa a kan mugayen hanyoyinsa don yă ceci ransa ba, wannan mugun zai mutu saboda zunubinsa, zan kuwa nemi hakkin jininsa a hannunka.
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
19 Amma in ka yi wa mugun kashedi bai kuwa juya daga mugayen hanyoyinsa ba, zai mutu saboda zunubinsa; amma kai kam za ka kuɓuta.
But if you warn them, and they don't stop their wicked ways, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself—you won't die.
20 “Har yanzu, in mai adalci ya juya daga adalcinsa ya aikata mugunta, na kuma sa abin tuntuɓe a gabansa, zai mutu. Da yake ba ka yi masa kashedi ba, zai mutu saboda zunubinsa. Ba za a tuna da abin adalcin da ya yi ba, zan kuwa nemi hakkin jininsa a hannunka.
Again, if someone who lives right stops doing so and sins and disregards my attempts to correct them, then they will die. If you didn't warn them, they will die in their sins, and the good things they did won't be remembered. In addition, I will hold you responsible for their death.
21 Amma in ka yi wa mai adalcin kashedi kada yă yi zunubi bai kuwa yi zunubi ba, tabbatacce zai rayu saboda ya ji kashedin, kuma kai kam za ka kuɓuta.”
However, if you warn those who are living right not to sin, and they don't sin, they will live for sure, because they paid attention to your warning, and you will have saved yourself—you won't die.”
22 Hannun Ubangiji ya kasance a kaina a can, ya kuma ce mini, “Tashi ka fita zuwa fili, a can kuwa zan yi maka magana.”
The Lord's power took control of me there, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I will talk to you there.”
23 Saboda haka na tashi da tafi fili. Ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuwa ta tsaya a can, kamar ɗaukakar da na gani kusa da Kogin Kebar, sai na fāɗi rubda ciki.
So I got up and went to the valley, and there I saw the Lord's glory. It was like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
24 Sai Ruhu ya sauko a kaina ya kuma ɗaga ni na tsaya a ƙafafuna. Ya yi mini magana ya ce, “Ka fita, ka rufe kanka a cikin gida.
Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door.
25 Kuma kai, ɗan mutum, za su ɗaura ka da igiyoyi; za a daure ka yadda ba za ka iya fita a cikin mutane ba.
You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that won't be able to go out among the people.
26 Zan sa harshenka ya manne wa dasashinka don ka yi shiru ka kuma kāsa tsawata musu, ko da yake su gidan’yan tawaye ne.
I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to speak and complain to them, even though they are a rebellious people.
27 Amma sa’ad da na yi maka magana, zan buɗe bakinka za ka kuwa faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya faɗa.’ Duk mai ji ya ji, kuma duk wanda ya ƙi ji, ya ƙi ji; gama su gida ne na’yan tawaye.
However, when I talk with you, I will open your mouth so you can tell them that this is what the Lord God says. Those who want to listen will listen, and those who want to refuse will refuse, for they are a rebellious people.”
