Ezekiel 14
1 Díẹ̀ nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, wọ́n sì jókòó níwájú mi.
Now certain men of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
2 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
3 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ti gbé òrìṣà kalẹ̀ sínú ọkàn wọn, wọ́n sì gbé àwọn ohun tó lè mú wọn ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ síwájú wọn; Èmi yóò ha jẹ́ kí wọ́n béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi rárá bí?
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face; shall I hear them when they inquire of me?
4 Nítorí náà, sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Bí ẹnikẹ́ni ní ilé Israẹli tó gbé òrìṣà sí ọkàn rẹ̀, tó tún gbé ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ síwájú rẹ̀, tí ó sì wá sọ́dọ̀ wòlíì, Èmi Olúwa fúnra mi ni yóò dá ẹni tí ó wa lóhùn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà ìbọ̀rìṣà rẹ.
Therefore speak with them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, —I, Jehovah, will answer him according to the multitude of his idols;
5 Èmi yóò ṣe èyí láti gba ọkàn àwọn ará Israẹli tó ti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà wọn lọ padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.’
that I may lay hold of the house of Israel in their hearts, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 “Nítorí náà sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ẹ ronúpìwàdà! Ẹ yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ òrìṣà yín, kí ẹ̀yin sì kọ gbogbo ìwà ìríra yín sílẹ̀!
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye, even turn yourselves from your idols, and from all your abominations turn ye your faces!
7 “‘Bí ẹnikẹ́ni ní ilé Israẹli tàbí àlejò tó ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli, bá ya ara rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, tó gbé òrìṣà rẹ̀ sí ọkàn rẹ̀, tó tún gbé ohun tó mú ni ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ síwájú rẹ, lẹ́yìn èyí tó tún lọ sọ́dọ̀ wòlíì láti béèrè nǹkan lọ́wọ́ mi! Èmi Olúwa fúnra ara mi ní èmi yóò dá a lóhùn.
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me through him, —I, Jehovah, will answer him by myself.
8 Èmi yóò lòdì si irú ọkùnrin bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ́nà òdì, Èmi yóò sì fi i ṣe àmì àti òwe. Èmi yóò sì gé e kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn mi. Nígbà náà, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
9 “‘Bí wọ́n bá sì tan wòlíì náà láti sọtẹ́lẹ̀, Èmi Olúwa ló tan wòlíì náà, Èmi yóò nawọ́ sí i, èmi yóò sì pa á run kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli.
And when the prophet is deceived when he speaketh anything, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 Wọn yóò ru ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn—ìjìyà kan náà là ó fún wòlíì àti ẹni tó lọ béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that inquireth of him;
11 Kí ilé Israẹli má ba à ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi mọ, kí wọ́n má ba à fi gbogbo ìrékọjá ba ara wọn jẹ́ mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n kí wọ́n le jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, kí Èmi náà sì le jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
12 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
13 “Ọmọ ènìyàn bí orílẹ̀-èdè kan bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí mi nípa ìwà àìṣòdodo, èmi yóò nawọ́ mi jáde sí wọn, láti gé ìpèsè oúnjẹ wọn, èmi yóò rán ìyàn sí wọn, èmi yóò sì pa ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ̀,
Son of man, when a land sinneth against me, and grievously transgresseth, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
14 bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta yìí. Noa, Daniẹli àti Jobu tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ, kìkì ẹ̀mí ara wọn nìkan ni wọ́n lé fi òdodo wọn gbàlà, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
though these three men were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 “Tàbí bí mo bá jẹ́ kí ẹranko búburú gba orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọjá, tí wọn sì bà á jẹ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó di ahoro, tí kò sí ẹni tó le gba ibẹ̀ kọjá torí ẹranko búburú yìí,
When I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, and it be desolate so that none passeth through it because of the beasts,
16 bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta wọ̀nyí tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, wọn kì yóò gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin là: àwọn nìkan ni a ó gbàlà, ṣùgbọ́n ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro.
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
17 “Tàbí tí mo bá mú idà kọjá láàrín orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí mo wí pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí idà kọjá láàrín ilẹ̀ náà,’ tí mo sì tú ìbínú gbígbóná lé wọn lórí nípa ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tí mo pa ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ.
Or when I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land so that I cut off from it man and beast,
18 Bí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta yìí tilẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, bí mo ti wà, wọn ki yóò gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin là, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tìkára wọn nìkan ni a ó gbàlà.
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
19 “Tàbí bí mo rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn si ilẹ̀ náà, ti mo si da ìrunú mi lé e lórí pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀, láti gé ènìyàn àti ẹranko kúrò nínú rẹ̀,
Or when I send a pestilence upon that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
20 bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Noa, Daniẹli àti Jobu wà nínú rẹ, bí mo ti wà láààyè ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, wọn kò le gba ọmọkùnrin tàbí ọmọbìnrin wọn lá. Ara wọn nìkan ni ìwà òdodo wọn lè gbàlà.
though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness.
21 “Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, báwo ni yóò ti burú tó nígbà tí mo bá rán ìdájọ́ kíkan mi mẹ́rin sórí Jerusalẹmu, èyí ni idà àti ìyàn, ẹranko búburú àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn láti pa àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹranko inú rẹ̀!
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more, when I send my four grievous judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 Síbẹ̀, yóò ṣẹ́kù àwọn díẹ̀, àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin tí a ó kó jáde nínú rẹ̀. Wọn yóò wá bá yin, ẹ̀yin yóò rí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò rí ìtùnú nípa àjálù tí mo mú wá sórí Jerusalẹmu—àní gbogbo àjálù ní mo ti mú wá sórí rẹ̀.
Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all which I have brought upon her.
23 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn, a ó tù yín nínú, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi kò ṣe nǹkan kan láìnídìí, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
They shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings; and ye shall know that not without cause I have done all that I have done to her, saith the Lord Jehovah.
