< Ezekiel 14 >
1 Díẹ̀ nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, wọ́n sì jókòó níwájú mi.
And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.
2 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
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 thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet — I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
5 Èmi yóò ṣe èyí láti gba ọkàn àwọn ará Israẹli tó ti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà wọn lọ padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.’
in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols — all of them.
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 unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back 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, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for 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 have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known 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 the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word — I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed 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 have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
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.’”
so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
12 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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, the land — when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, 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.
and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job — they by their righteousness deliver their own soul — an affirmation of 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,
'If an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast —
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.
these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
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 — a sword I bring in against that land, and I have said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have 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.
and these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — they deliver not sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
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 — pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against 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.
and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
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!
'For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments — sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence — I have sent unto Jerusalem, 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, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
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.”
And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done all that which I have done in her — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
