< Ezekiel 11 >

1 Ẹ̀mí sì gbé mi sókè, ó mú mi lọ sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa èyí tó dojúkọ ìlà-oòrùn. Ní àbáwọlé ẹnu-ọ̀nà yìí ni àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n wá, mo rí Jaaṣaniah ọmọ Assuri àti Pelatiah ọmọ Benaiah, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ìjòyè àwọn ènìyàn.
And a spirit bore me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh eastward: and behold, there were at the entrance of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Yaazanyah the son of 'Azzur, and Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu, princes of the people.
2 Olúwa sì sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin yìí ló ń pète ibi, wọ́n sì ń gbé ìmọ̀ràn búburú kalẹ̀ nínú ìlú.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise wickedness, and give evil counsel in this city;
3 Wọ́n ní, ‘Kò ha tí ì tó àsìkò láti kọ́lé? Ìlú yìí ni ìkòkò ìdáná, àwa sì ni ẹran’.
Who say, [The evil] is not near; so let us build houses: this [city] is the pot, and we are the flesh.
4 Nítorí náà sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa wọn; ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀.”
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé mi, ó sì wí pé, “Sọ̀rọ̀!” Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ohun tí ẹ ń sọ nìyìí, ilé Israẹli, mo mọ ohun tó wà lọ́kàn yín.
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus hath said the Lord, Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and whatever cometh into your mind, do I know full well.
6 Ẹ̀yin ti sọ òkú yín di púpọ̀ nínú ìlú yìí, òkú sì ti kún gbogbo ìgboro rẹ̀.
Ye have multiplied those slain by you in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain.
7 “Torí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, àwọn òkú tí ẹ fọn sílẹ̀ sí àárín yín ni ẹran, ìlú yìí sì ni ìkòkò ìdáná ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò le yín jáde níbẹ̀.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Those slain by you whom ye have struck down in the midst of it, —they are the flesh, and this place is the pot; but you are to be removed out of the midst of it.
8 Ẹ bẹ̀rù idà, èmi yóò sì mú idà wá sórí yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
The sword have ye feared: and the sword will I bring over you, saith the Lord Eternal.
9 Èmi yóò lé yín jáde kúrò ní ìlú yìí, èmi yóò sì fà yín lé àjèjì lọ́wọ́, èmi yóò sì mú ìdájọ́ ṣẹ lé yín lórí.
And I will remove you out of the midst of it, and I will give you up into the hand of strangers, and will execute punishments among you.
10 Nípa idà ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣubú, èmi yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ yín ní àwọn ààlà ìlú Israẹli. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.
By the sword shall ye fall; on the boundary of Israel will I judge you: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
11 Ìlú yìí kò ní i jẹ́ ìkòkò ìdáná, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin náà kò sì ní jẹ́ ẹran nínú rẹ̀, Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ yín ní àwọn ààlà ìlú Israẹli.
This place shall not be unto you as a pot, so that you should be as flesh in the midst of it; but on the boundary of Israel will I judge you.
12 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi ẹ̀yin kò sì pa òfin mi mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti hùwà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́ orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí yín ká.”
And ye shall know that I am the Lord: because in my statutes have ye not walked, and my ordinances have ye not executed; but ye have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 Bí mo ṣe ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, Pelatiah ọmọ Benaiah kú. Mo sì dojúbolẹ̀, mo sì kígbe sókè pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Ṣé ìwọ yóò ha pa ìyókù Israẹli run pátápátá ni?”
And it came to pass, as I was prophesying, that Pelatyahu the son of Benayah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tún tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
15 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, àní àwọn ará rẹ, àwọn ọkùnrin nínú ìbátan rẹ, àti gbogbo ilé Israẹli pátápátá, ni àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu ti wí fún pé, ‘Ẹ jìnnà sí Olúwa, àwa ni a fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún yín ní ìní.’
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and the whole house of Israel altogether, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Remain you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given for a possession.
16 “Nítorí náà, sọ fún àwọn tó wà ní ìgbèkùn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé mo ti fọ́n wọn káàkiri orílẹ̀-èdè, síbẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀, èmi yóò jẹ́ ibi mímọ́ fún wọn níbi tí wọ́n lọ.’
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries: yet will I be to them as a minor sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 “Nítorí náà, wí pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò kó wọn jọ kúrò láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo fọ́n wọn ká sí, Èmi yóò sì fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli padà.’
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will both gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries whether ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 “Wọn yóò padà síbẹ̀, wọn yóò sì mú gbogbo àwòrán ìríra rẹ̀ àti ìbọ̀rìṣà rẹ̀ kúrò.
And they shall come thither, and they shall remove all its detestable things, and all its abominations out of it.
19 Èmi yóò fún wọn ní ọ̀kankan; èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀mí tuntun sínú wọn, Èmi yóò mú ọkàn òkúta kúrò lára wọn, èmi yóò sì fún wọn ní ọkàn tó rọ̀ bí ara ẹran.
And I will give them one single heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their body, and I will give unto them a heart of flesh:
20 Kí wọn le tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, kí wọn sì le pa òfin mi mọ́. Wọ́n yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Èmi náà yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.
In order that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will indeed be unto them for a God.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn tí wọ́n ń fi gbogbo ọkàn wọn sin àwọn àwòrán ìríra àti àwọn òrìṣà, Èmi yóò mú ẹ̀san ohun tí wọ́n ṣe wá sí orí wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
But as for those whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, their way do I bring upon their own head, saith the Lord Eternal.
22 Àwọn kérúbù sì gbé ìyẹ́ wọn sókè pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ wọn, ògo Ọlọ́run Israẹli sì wà lókè orí wọn.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels at the same time with them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Ògo Olúwa sì gòkè lọ kúrò láàrín ìlú, ó sì dúró lórí òkè tó wà ní ìlà-oòrùn ìlú náà.
And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city, and halted upon the mount which is on the east side of the city.
24 Lẹ́yìn náà, Ẹ̀mí gbé mi sókè, ó sì mú mi wá sí Kaldea lójú ìran, nípa ti Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ti ìgbèkùn. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìran tí mo rí lọ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi,
But a spirit bore me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to those in exile, in the appearance through the spirit of God: and then ascended away from me the appearance which I had seen.
25 mo sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa fihàn mí fún àwọn tó wà ní ìgbèkùn.
Then did I speak unto those in exile all the things that the Lord had shown me.
