< Ezekiel 2 >
1 Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, dìde dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ. Èmi yóò bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀.”
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Bí ó ṣe ń sọ̀rọ̀, ẹ̀mí sì wọ inú mi ó mú mi dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ mi, mo sì ń gbọ́ tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3 Ó sọ pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, mo ń rán ọ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, sí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi; àwọn àti baba ńlá wọn ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi títí di òní olónìí.
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 Àwọn ènìyàn tí mo ń rán ọ sí jẹ́ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ́kàn líle. Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 Bí wọn fetísílẹ̀ tàbí wọn kò fetísílẹ̀ nítorí pé wọ́n ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni wọ́n—wọn yóò mọ̀ pé wòlíì kan wà láàrín wọn.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet amongst them.
6 Àti ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn tàbí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu wọn. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé òṣùṣú àti ẹ̀gún yí ọ ká, tí o sì ń gbé àárín àwọn àkéekèe. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ tàbí bẹ̀rù wọn, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ìdílé ni wọ́n.
You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell amongst scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi fún wọn, bí wọ́n gbọ́ bí wọn kọ̀ láti gbọ́ torí pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni wọ́n.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, gbọ́ ohun tí mo ń sọ fún ọ. Má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ bí i ti ìdílé ọlọ́tẹ̀; la ẹnu rẹ kí o sì jẹ ohun tí mo fún ọ.”
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9 Mo sì wò, mo sì rí ọwọ́ kan tí a nà sí mi. Ìwé kíká sì wà níbẹ̀,
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10 ó sì tú ìwé náà fún mi. Ní ojú àti ẹ̀yìn ìwé náà ni a kọ ìpohùnréré ẹkún, ọ̀fọ̀ àti ègún sí.
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
