Ezekiyel 33

1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Ɗan mutum, yi magana da mutanen ƙasarka ka faɗa musu cewa, ‘Sa’ad da na kawo takobi a kan ƙasar, mutanen ƙasar kuwa suka zaɓi ɗaya daga cikin mutanensu suka mai da shi mai tsaro,

“Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman,

3 ya kuma ga takobi yana zuwa a kan ƙasar ya kuwa busa ƙaho don yă faɗakar da mutane,

and he sees the sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people.

4 in wani ya ji busar amma bai kula ba, takobin zai zo ya ɗauki ransa, jininsa kuwa zai zauna a kansa.

Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

5 Da yake ya ji ƙarar busar amma bai kula ba, jininsa zai zauna a kansa. Da a ce ya kula, da ya ceci kansa.

Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to heed the warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.

6 Amma a ce mai tsaron ya ga takobi yana zuwa bai kuwa busa ƙaho don yă faɗakar da mutane ba sai takobi ya zo ya ɗauki ran waninsu, za a kawar da wannan mutum saboda zunubinsa, amma zan nemi hakkin jinin mutumin a kan mai tsaron.’

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.’

7 “Ɗan mutum, na mai da kai mai tsaro bisa gidan Isra’ila; saboda haka ka ji abin da zan faɗa ka kuma gargaɗe su.

As for you, O son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word from My mouth and give them the warning from Me.

8 Sa’ad da na ce wa mugu, ‘Ya mugun mutum, tabbatacce za ka mutu,’ kai kuma ba ka yi magana don ka juyar da shi daga hanyoyinsa ba, wannan mugun mutum zai mutu domin zunubinsa, zan kuma nemi hakkin jininsa a kanka.

If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ but you do not speak out to dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.

9 Amma in ka faɗakar da mugun mutumin don yă juye daga hanyoyinsa bai kuwa yi haka ba, zai mutu saboda zunubinsa, amma kai za ka kuɓutar da kanka.

But if you warn the wicked man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.

10 “Ɗan mutum, faɗa wa gidan Isra’ila, ‘Ga abin da kuke cewa, “Laifofinmu da zunubanmu suna nawaita mana, muna kuma lalacewa saboda su. Ta ƙaƙa za mu rayu?”’

Now as for you, son of man, tell the house of Israel that this is what they have said: ‘Our transgressions and our sins are heavy upon us, and we are wasting away because of them! How can we live?’

11 Ka faɗa musu, ‘Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ba na jin daɗin mutuwar mugu, amma a maimako haka ya fi su juye daga hanyoyinsu su rayu. Ku juye! Ku juye daga mugayen hanyoyinku! Don me za ku mutu, ya gidan Isra’ila?’

Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’

12 “Saboda haka, ɗan mutum, ka faɗa wa mutanen ƙasarka, ‘Adalcin adali ba zai cece shi sa’ad da ya ƙi yin biyayya ba, kuma muguntar mugu ba za tă sa ya fāɗi sa’ad da ya juya daga gare ta ba. Adali, in ya yi zunubi, ba za a bari yă rayu saboda adalcinsa na dā ba.’

Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’

13 In na faɗa wa adali cewa tabbatacce zai rayu, amma sai ya dogara ga adalcinsa ya kuma aikata mugunta, babu ayyukan adalcinsa da za a tuna; zai mutu saboda muguntar da ya aikata.

If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

14 Kuma in na ce wa mugu, ‘Tabbatacce za ka mutu,’ amma sai ya juye daga zunubinsa ya kuma yi abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai,

But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—

15 in ya mayar da jingina, ya mayar da abin da ya sata, ya kiyaye ƙa’idodin da suke ba da rai, ya daina yin mugunta, tabbatacce zai rayu; ba zai mutu ba.

if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.

16 Babu wani zunubin da ya aikata da za a tuna da shi. Ya yi abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai; tabbatacce zai rayu.

None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.

17 “Duk da haka mutanen ƙasarka sun ce, ‘Hanyar Ubangiji ba daidai ba ce.’ Alhali kuwa tasu ce ba daidai ba.

Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.

18 In adali ya juye daga adalcinsa ya yi mugunta, zai mutu saboda haka.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.

19 Kuma in mugu ya juye daga muguntarsa ya aikata abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai, zai rayu ta yin haka.

But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.

20 Duk da haka, ya gidan Isra’ila kun ce, ‘Hanyar Ubangiji ba daidai ba ce.’ Amma zan hukunta kowane ɗayanku gwargwadon ayyukansa.”

Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”

21 A shekara ta goma sha biyu ta zaman bautanmu, a wata na goma a rana ta biyar, wani mutumin da ya gudu daga Urushalima ya zo wurina ya ce, “Birnin ya fāɗi!”

In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”

22 To a yamman da ya wuce kafin mutumin ya iso, hannun Ubangiji yana a kaina, ya kuma buɗe bakina kafin mutumin ya iso wurina da safe. Sai bakina ya buɗu ban kuma yi shiru ba.

Now the evening before the fugitive arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.

23 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

24 “Ɗan mutum, mutanen da suke zama a waɗannan kufai a ƙasar Isra’ila suna cewa, ‘Ibrahim mutum ɗaya ne kaɗai, duk da haka Ibrahim ya mallaki ƙasar. Amma mu da muke da yawa; lalle an ba mu ƙasar ta zama mallakarmu.’

“Son of man, those living in the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’

25 Saboda haka ka faɗa musu, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa da yake kun ci nama da jini a cikinsa kuka kuma bauta wa gumakanku kuka zub da jini, kuna gani za ku mallaki ƙasar?

Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?

26 Kun dogara ga takobinku, kuka aikata abubuwan banƙyama, kowannenku kuma ya ƙazantar da matar maƙwabcinsa. Kuna gani za ku mallaki ƙasar?’

You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’

27 “Ka faɗa musu wannan, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa muddin ina raye, waɗanda aka rage a kufai za su fāɗi ga takobi, waɗanda suke bayan gari kuwa namun jeji za su cinye su, waɗanda suke a mafaka da kogwannin duwatsu annoba za tă kashe su.

Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.

28 Zan mai da ƙasar kango, kuma fariyar ƙarfinta zai ƙare, duwatsun Isra’ila za su zama kufai don kada wani ya ratsa su.

I will make the land a desolate waste, and the pride of her strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, so that no one will pass through.

29 Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji, sa’ad da na mai da ƙasar kango saboda dukan abubuwan banƙyamar da suka yi.’

Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’

30 “Game da kai kuma, ɗan mutum, mutanen ƙasarka suna magana da juna game da kai a katanga da kuma ƙofofin gidaje, suna ce wa juna, ‘Ku zo mu tafi mu ji maganar da ta zo daga wurin Ubangiji.’

As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’

31 Mutanena sukan zo wurinka, yadda suka saba su zauna a gabanka don su saurari maganarka, amma ba sa aiki da abin da suka ji. Da bakunansu suna nuna ƙauna, amma zukatansu cike da haɗama suke don ƙazamar riba.

So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain.

32 Tabbatacce, gare su ba ka fi mai waƙar ƙauna da murya mai daɗi kana kuma yin kiɗa sosai ba, gama sukan ji maganarka amma ba sa amfani da ita.

Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.

33 “Sa’ad da dukan wannan ya cika kuma zai cika ɗin, sa’an nan za su sani akwai annabi a tsakiyarsu.”

So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
