Ezekiel 21
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ mi wá:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọ ojú rẹ sí ìhà Jerusalẹmu, kí o sì wàásù lòdì sí ibi mímọ́. Sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
Son of man, set thy face against Jerusalem, and drop [words] against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 Kí ó sì sọ fún un pe, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa wí, Èmi lòdì sí ọ. Èmi yóò fa idà mi yọ kúrò nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì ké olódodo àti ènìyàn búburú kúrò ni àárín yín.
and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 Nítorí pé, èmi yóò ké olódodo àti olùṣe búburú kúrò, idà mi yóò jáde láti inú àkọ̀ rẹ̀ lòdì sí gbogbo ènìyàn láti gúúsù títí dé àríwá.
Seeing that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north;
5 Nígbà náà gbogbo ènìyàn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti yọ idà mi kúrò nínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀; kì yóò sì padà sínú rẹ̀ mọ́.’
and all flesh shall know that I Jehovah have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 “Nítorí náà, mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn ìwọ ọmọ ènìyàn! Mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìbànújẹ́ àti ẹ̀dùn ọkàn kíkorò ní iwájú wọn.
Sigh then, thou son of man; with breaking of the loins, and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
7 Bí wọ́n bá sì bi ọ́, wí pé, ‘Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ fi ń mí ìmí ẹ̀dùn?’ Ìwọ yóò wí pé, ‘Nítorí ìròyìn tí ó ń bẹ. Gbogbo ọkàn ni yóò yọ́, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni yóò sì di aláìlera; gbogbo ọkàn ní yóò dákú, gbogbo eékún ni yóò sì di aláìlera bí omi?’ Ó ń bọ̀! Yóò sì wa sí ìmúṣẹ dandan, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore dost thou sigh? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall languish, and all knees shall melt into water: behold, it cometh; it is here, saith the Lord Jehovah.
8 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa si tún tọ̀ mí wá pé:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ wí pé, èyí yìí ní Olúwa wí pé, “‘Idà kan, idà kan, tí a pọ́n, tí a sì dán pẹ̀lú,
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished.
10 a pọ́n láti pa ènìyàn púpọ̀, a dán an láti máa kọ mọ̀nà! “‘Àwa o ha máa ṣe àríyá ọ̀gọ ọmọ mi? Idà gán gbogbo irú igi bẹ́ẹ̀.
It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, [saying, ] The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood?
11 “‘Idà ní a yàn láti pọ́n, kí ó lè ṣe é gbámú; a pọ́n ọn, a sì dán an, ó ṣetán fún ọwọ́ àwọn apani.
And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword, — it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 Sọkún síta, kí ó sì pohùnréré ẹ̀kún, ọmọ ènìyàn, nítorí yóò wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn mi; yóò wá sórí gbogbo ọmọ-aládé Israẹli ìbẹ̀rù ńlá yóò wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn mi nítorí idà náà; nítorí náà lu oókan àyà rẹ.
Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh.
13 “‘Ìdánwò yóò dé dandan. Tí ọ̀pá aládé Juda èyí tí idà kẹ́gàn, kò bá tẹ̀síwájú mọ́ ń kọ́? Ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’
For the trial [is made]; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no [more]? saith the Lord Jehovah.
14 “Nítorí náà, ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì fi ọwọ́ lu ọwọ́. Jẹ́ kí idà lu ara wọn lẹ́ẹ̀méjì, kódà ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta. Ó jẹ́ idà fún ìpànìyàn idà fún ìpànìyàn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, tí yóò sé wọn mọ́ níhìn-ín àti lọ́hùnnún.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for [the strokes of] the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily.
15 Kí ọkàn kí ó lè yọ́ kí àwọn tí ó ṣubú le pọ̀, mo ti gbé idà sí gbogbo bodè fún ìparun. Háà! A mú kí ó kọ bí ìmọ̀nàmọ́ná, a gbá a mú fún ìparun.
In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter.
16 Ìwọ idà, jà sí ọ̀tún kí o sì jà sí òsì lọ ibikíbi tí ẹnu rẹ bá dojúkọ.
Gather up [strength], go to the right hand, turn thee, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is appointed.
17 Èmi gan an yóò pàtẹ́wọ́ ìbínú mi yóò sì rẹlẹ̀. Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀.”
And I myself will smite my hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
18 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ mi wá:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
19 “Ọmọ ènìyàn la ọ̀nà méjì fún idà ọba Babeli láti gbà, kí méjèèjì bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ìlú kan náà. Ṣe àmì sí ìkóríta ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí ìlú náà.
And thou, son of man, set thee two ways, by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come — out of one land shall they both come — and make thee a signpost, make it at the head of the way to the city.
20 La ọ̀nà kan fún idà láti wá kọlu Rabba ti àwọn ará Ammoni kí òmíràn kọlu Juda, kí ó sì kọlu Jerusalẹmu ìlú olódi.
Appoint a way for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah at the fenced [city] of Jerusalem.
21 Nítorí ọba Babeli yóò dúró ni ìyànà ní ojú ọ̀nà, ní ìkóríta, láti máa lo àfọ̀ṣẹ. Yóò fi ọfà di ìbò, yóò béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀, òun yóò ṣe àyẹ̀wò ẹ̀dọ̀.
For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh [his] arrows, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
22 Nínú ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ni ìbò Jerusalẹmu yóò ti wá, ní ibi tí yóò ti gbé afárá kalẹ̀, láti pàṣẹ fún àwọn apànìyàn, láti mú ki wọn hó ìhó ogun láti gbé òòlù dí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibodè, láti mọ odi, àti láti kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́.
In his right hand is the lot of Jerusalem to appoint battering-rams, to open the mouth for bloodshed, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering-rams against the gates, to cast mounds, to build siege-towers.
23 Àfọ̀ṣẹ náà yóò dàbí àmì èké sí àwọn tí ó ti búra ìtẹríba fún un, ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò ran wọn létí ẹbí wọn yóò sì mú wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
And this shall be a false divination in their sight, for them that have sworn oaths; but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
24 “Nítorí náà èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: ‘Nítorí ti ẹ̀yin ti mú ẹ̀bi yín wá sí ìrántí nípa ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní gbangba, ní ṣíṣe àfihàn àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe èyí, a yóò mú yín ní ìgbèkùn.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 “‘Ìwọ aláìmọ́ àti ẹni búburú ọmọ-aládé Israẹli, ẹni ti ọjọ́ rẹ̀ ti dé, ẹni tí àsìkò ìjìyà rẹ̀ ti dé góńgó,
And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end,
26 èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, tú ìwérí kúrò kí o sì gbé adé kúrò. Kò ní rí bí ti tẹ́lẹ̀, ẹni ìgbéga ni a yóò sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
— thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no [more]. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
27 Ìparun! Ìparun! Èmi yóò ṣé e ni ìparun! Kì yóò padà bọ̀ sípò bí kò ṣe pé tí ó bá wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti ni in; òun ni èmi yóò fi fún.’
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [to him].
28 “Àti ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí nípa àwọn ará Ammoni àti àbùkù wọn: “‘Idà kan idà kan tí á fa yọ fún ìpànìyàn tí a dán láti fi ènìyàn ṣòfò àti láti kọ bí ìmọ̀nàmọ́ná!
And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus speaketh the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, A sword, a sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it furbished, that it may consume, that it may glitter:
29 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a rí èké nípa yín àti àfọ̀ṣẹ èké nípa yín a yóò gbé e lé àwọn ọrùn ènìyàn búburú ti a ó pa, àwọn tí ọjọ́ wọn ti dé, àwọn tí ọjọ́ ìjìyà wọn ti dé góńgó.
whilst they see vanity for thee, whilst they divine a lie unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day is come at the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 “‘Dá idà padà sínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀. Níbi tí a gbé ṣẹ̀dá yín, ní ibi tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣẹ̀ wá.
Restore [it] to its sheath. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth.
31 Níbẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti ṣe ìdájọ́ yín, èmi o sì fi èémí ìbínú gbígbóná mi bá yín jà.
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee the fire of my wrath, and give thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
32 Ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ èpò fún iná náà, a yóò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yin sórí ilẹ̀ yín, a kì yóò rántí yín mọ́; nítorí Èmi Olúwa ní ó ti wí bẹ́ẹ̀.’”
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt not be remembered: for I Jehovah have spoken.
