< Ezekiyel 33 >
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Yahweh’s word 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 the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 ya kuma ga takobi yana zuwa a kan ƙasar ya kuwa busa ƙaho don yă faɗakar da mutane,
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns 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 whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if 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.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
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 come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
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.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings 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.
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
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.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
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?”’
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then 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?’
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, 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.’
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that 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.
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that 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,
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful 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 the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, 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 his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful 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 the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 In adali ya juye daga adalcinsa ya yi mugunta, zai mutu saboda haka.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 Kuma in mugu ya juye daga muguntarsa ya aikata abin da yake gaskiya da kuma daidai, zai rayu ta yin haka.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
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 fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
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 captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
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 Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Yahweh’s word 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 who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
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, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you 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 stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you 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.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
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 desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be 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 Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which 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, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’
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.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their 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.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
33 “Sa’ad da dukan wannan ya cika kuma zai cika ɗin, sa’an nan za su sani akwai annabi a tsakiyarsu.”
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
