< Ezekiel 20 >

1 Ní ọjọ́ kẹwàá, oṣù karùn-ún ọdún keje, ní díẹ̀ nínú àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wá wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, wọn jókòó níwájú mi.
And in the seuenth yeere, in the fift moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, came certaine of the elders of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and sate before me.
2 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,
3 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli, kì ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ṣe ki ẹ lè wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi ni ẹ ṣe wá? Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi kì yóò gbà kí ẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi.’
Sonne of man, speake vnto the Elders of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye come to enquire of me? as I liue, sayth the Lord God, when I am asked, I wil not answer you.
4 “Ìwọ fẹ́ dájọ́ wọn bí? Ìwọ fẹ́ dájọ́ wọn bí ọmọ ènìyàn? Nítorí náà fi gbogbo ìwà ìríra baba wọn kò wọ́n lójú,
Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers,
5 kí ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ní ọjọ́ tí mo yàn Israẹli, mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè nínú ìbúra sí àwọn ọmọ ilé Jakọbu, mo sì fi ara mi hàn wọn ní Ejibiti, mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè nínú ẹ̀jẹ́ wí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God,
6 Ní ọjọ́ náà mo lọ búra fún wọn pé, èmi yóò mú wọn jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti lọ sí ilẹ̀ ti mo ti wá sílẹ̀ fún wọn, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ilẹ̀ tí ó lẹ́wà jùlọ láàrín àwọn ilẹ̀ yòókù.
In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands,
7 Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kí olúkúlùkù nínú yín gbé ìríra ojú rẹ̀ kúrò, kí ẹ sì má bá sọ ara yín di àìmọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.
8 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n wọn ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi wọn kò sì gbọ́rọ̀, wọn kò gbé àwòrán ìríra tí wọ́n dojúkọ kúrò níwájú wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò si kọ̀ àwọn òrìṣà Ejibiti sílẹ̀, torí náà mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi lé wọn lórí, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ìbínú mi sẹ̀ lórí wọn ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe ohun tí kò ní jẹ́ kí orúkọ mi bàjẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọn ń gbé láàrín wọn, lójú àwọn ẹni tí mo ti fi ara hàn fún ara Israẹli nípa mímú wọn jáde ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt.
10 Nítorí náà, mo mú wọn jáde ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti mo sì mú wọn wá sínú aginjù.
Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes.
11 Mo sì fún wọn ni òfin mi, mo sì fi àwọn òfin mi hàn wọ́n; nítorí pé ẹni tó bá ṣe wọ́n yóò yè nípa wọn.
And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them.
12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo fún wọn ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì láàrín àwọn àti èmi, kí wọn lè mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa tó sọ wọn di mímọ́.
Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them.
13 “‘Síbẹ̀; ilé Israẹli ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mí nínú aginjù. Wọn kò tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn sì kọ àwọn òfin mi sílẹ̀ bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹni tó bá pa á mọ́ yóò yè nínú rẹ̀. Wọn sì sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Nítorí náà, mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi sórí wọn, èmi yóò sì pa wọ́n run nínú aginjù.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them,
14 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe ohun tí kò ní mú kí orúkọ mi bàjẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo kó wọn jáde.
But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Nítorí náà, mo tún gbọ́wọ́ mi sókè ní ìbúra fún wọn nínú aginjù pé, èmi kì yóò mú wọn dé ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún wọn—ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ilẹ̀ tí ó lẹ́wà jùlọ láàrín àwọn ilẹ̀ yòókù.
Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes,
16 Nítorí pé, wọn kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀, wọn kò sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi dí aláìmọ́. Nítorí pé tọkàntọkàn ni wọn ń tẹ̀lé òrìṣà wọn.
Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.
17 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ mo wò wọ́n pẹ̀lú àánú, ń kò sì pa wọ́n run tàbí kí òpin dé bá wọn nínú aginjù.
Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n mo sọ fún àwọn ọmọ wọn nínú aginjù pé, “Ẹ má ṣe rìn ní ìlànà àwọn baba yín, ẹ má ṣe pa òfin wọn mọ́, ẹ má ṣe bá ara yín jẹ́ pẹ̀lú òrìṣà wọn.
But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles.
19 Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ẹ tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, kí ó sì pa òfin mi mọ́.
I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them,
20 Ẹ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi sí mímọ́ kí ó lè jẹ́ àmì láàrín wa, ki ẹ lè mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.”
And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.
21 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ náà ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi. Wọn kò tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, wọn kò sì pa òfin mi mọ́ bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹni tó bá tẹ̀lé àwọn òfin yìí, yóò yè nínú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́. Nítorí náà, mo sọ pé èmi yóò tú ìbínú mi lórí wọn, Èmi yóò sì mú kí ìbínú gbígbóná mi wá sórí wọn ni aginjù.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes.
22 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ mo dáwọ́ dúró, nítorí orúkọ mi, mo sì ṣe ohun tí kò ní ba orúkọ mi jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ti mo kó wọn jáde lójú wọn.
Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth.
23 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ ti mo gbé sókè sí wọn, mo búra fún wọn nínú aginjù pé èmi yóò tú wọn ka sì àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì fọ́n wọn káàkiri ilẹ̀ gbogbo,
Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys,
24 nítorí pé wọn kò pa òfin mi mọ́, wọn sì tún kọ àṣẹ mi sílẹ̀, wọn tún sọ ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi di aláìmọ́. Ojú wọn sì wà ní ara òrìṣà baba wọn.
Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles.
25 Èmi náà sì fi wọn fún ìlànà tí kò dára àti òfin tí wọn kò le e yè nípa rẹ̀;
Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue.
26 mo jẹ́ kí ó sọ wọn di aláìmọ́ nípa ẹ̀bùn nípa fífi àkọ́bí ọmọ wọn rú ẹbọ sísun, àkọ́bí wọn la iná kọjá, kí èmi sọ wọ́n di ahoro, kí wọn le mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.’
And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord.
27 “Nítorí náà, Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún ilé Israẹli kí ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ní ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, nínú èyí tí baba yín ti sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi, nípa kíkọ̀ mí sílẹ̀.
Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me.
28 Nítorí nígbà tí mo mú wọn dé ilẹ̀ náà, tí mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè láti fi í fún wọn, nígbà náà ni wọ́n rí olúkúlùkù òkè gíga, àti gbogbo igi bíbò, wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ wọn níbẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbé ìmúnibínú ọrẹ wọ́n kalẹ̀ níbẹ̀; níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni wọ́n ṣe òórùn dídùn wọn, wọ́n sì ta ohun ọrẹ mímu sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀.
For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.
29 Nígbà náà ni mo wí fún wọn pé, kí ní ibi gíga tí ẹ̀yin lọ yìí?’” (Orúkọ rẹ̀ ni a sì ń pè ní Bama di òní yìí.)
Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day.
30 “Nítorí náà sọ fún ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ṣé o fẹ́ ba ara rẹ jẹ́ bi àwọn baba rẹ ṣe ṣe, tiwọn ń ṣe àgbèrè nípa títẹ̀lé àwọn àwòrán ìríra?
Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations?
31 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá san ọrẹ yìí, ìrúbọ ọmọkùnrin ọmọ yín, tí ẹ mú ọmọ yin la iná kọjá, ẹ̀yin ń tẹ̀síwájú láti ba ara yín jẹ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà yín títí di òní yìí, ẹ̀yin yóò ha jẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi, ìwọ ilé Israẹli? Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi ki yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ wádìí lọ́dọ̀ mi.
For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked.
32 “‘Ẹ̀yin wí pé, “Àwa fẹ́ dàbí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù, bí àwọn ènìyàn ayé, tó ń bọ igi àti òkúta.” Ṣùgbọ́n ohun ti ẹ ni lọ́kàn kò ní ṣẹ rárá.
Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone.
33 Bí mo ti wà láààyè, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò jẹ ọba lórí yín pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára tí èmi yóò nà jáde pẹ̀lú ìtújáde ìbínú gbígbóná mi.
As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,

And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
35 Èmi yóò si mú yín wá sí aginjù àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, níbẹ̀ ni ojúkójú ni èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ lé e yín lórí.
And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face.

Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God.
37 Èmi yóò kíyèsi i yín bí mo ti mú un yín kọjá lábẹ́ ọ̀pá, èmi yóò sì mú yín wá sí abẹ́ ìdè májẹ̀mú.
And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant.

And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord.
39 “‘Ní tí ẹ̀yin, ilé Israẹli, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kí olúkúlùkù yín lọ máa sìn òrìṣà rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn èyí, ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin kò sí ní i bá orúkọ mímọ́ mi jẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ àti àwọn òrìṣà yín mọ́.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles.
40 Nítorí lórí òkè mímọ́ mi, lórí òkè gíga Israẹli, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, níbẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ náà ní gbogbo ilé Israẹli yóò sìn mí; èmi yóò sì tẹ́wọ́ gba wọ́n níbẹ̀. Níbẹ̀ èmi yóò béèrè ọrẹ àti ẹ̀bùn nínú àkọ́so yín pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹbọ mímọ́ yín.
For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things.

I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen.
42 Nígbà náà ni ẹ o mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá mú yín wa sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli; sí ilẹ̀ tí mo gbọ́wọ́ mí sókè nínú ẹ̀jẹ́ láti fún àwọn baba yín.

And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed.

And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
45 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
46 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, dojúkọ ìhà gúúsù; wàásù lòdì sí gúúsù kí ìwọ sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí igbó ilẹ̀ gúúsù.
Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South,

48 Gbogbo ènìyàn yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ni ó dá a, a kì yóò sì le è pa á.’”
And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched.
49 Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Wọn ń wí fún mi pé, ‘Kì í wa ṣe pé òwe lo ń pa bí?’”
Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?
