Ezekiel 22
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn ǹjẹ́ ìwọ yóò ha ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha ṣe ìdájọ́ ìlú atàjẹ̀sílẹ̀? Tó bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀ dojúkọ wọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìwà ìríra wọn.
“And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
3 Kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ní ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwọ ìlú ńlá tí ó mú ìparun wá sórí ara rẹ nípa títàjẹ̀sílẹ̀ ní àárín rẹ, tí ó sì ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ nípa ṣíṣe àwọn ère.
And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
4 Ìwọ ti jẹ̀bi nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀, àti pé àwọn ère tí ó ṣe tí bà ọ́ jẹ́. Ìwọ tí mú ọjọ́ rẹ súnmọ́ tòsí, ìparí àwọn ọdún rẹ sì ti dé. Nítorí náà èmi yóò fi ọ ṣe ohun ẹ̀gàn lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ohun ẹ̀sín lójú gbogbo ìlú.
You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
5 Àwọn tí ó wà ní tòsí àti àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ, yóò fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, ìwọ ìlú ẹlẹ́gàn, tí ó kún fún làálàá.
Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
6 “‘Wo bí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin ọba Israẹli tí ó wà nínú yín ti ń lo agbára rẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
7 Nínú rẹ wọn ti hùwà sí baba àti ìyá pẹ̀lú ìfojú tínrín; nínú rẹ wọn ti ni àwọn àlejò lára, wọn sì hùwàkiwà sí aláìní baba àti opó.
They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.
8 Ìwọ tí kọ àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi sílẹ̀, ìwọ sì ti lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní ìlòkulò.
You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.
9 Nínú rẹ ni àwọn ayannijẹ ènìyàn pinnu láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; nínú rẹ ní àwọn tí ó ń jẹun ní orí òkè ojúbọ òrìṣà, wọn sì hùwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́.
Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.
10 Nínú rẹ ní àwọn ti kò bu ọlá fún àwọn àkéte baba wọn; nínú rẹ ni àwọn tí o ń bá àwọn obìnrin lò nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣe àkókò lọ́wọ́, ní àsìkò tí a ka wọn sì aláìmọ́.
They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
11 Nínú rẹ ọkùnrin kan ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìríra pẹ̀lú aya aládùúgbò rẹ̀, òmíràn bá ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́, òmíràn sì bá arábìnrin rẹ̀ lòpọ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ọbàkan rẹ̀.
And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
12 Nínú rẹ àwọn ènìyàn gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ìwọ gba èlé ìlọ́po láti mú aláìṣòótọ́ jèrè láti ara aládùúgbò rẹ nípa ìrẹ́jẹ. Ìwọ sì ti gbàgbé èmi; ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.
13 “‘Èmi yóò kúkú pàtẹ́wọ́ lórí èrè àìmọ̀ tí ìwọ ti jẹ, àti lórí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ìwọ ti ta sílẹ̀ ní àárín yín.
Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.
14 Ọkàn rẹ le gbà á, tàbí ọwọ́ rẹ lè le, ní ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò bá ọ ṣé? Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, Èmi yóò sì ṣe é.
How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
15 Èmi yóò tú yin ká ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò fọ́n ọ ká sí àwọn ìlú; èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí àìmọ́ rẹ.
And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
16 Nígbà tí a ó bà ọ́ jẹ́ lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 Nígbà náà ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, ilé Israẹli ti di ìdàrọ́ sí mi; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ bàbà, idẹ, irin àti òjé ti a fi sínú iná ìléru. Wọn jẹ́ ìdàrọ́ ti fàdákà.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.
19 Nítorí náà èyí yìí ni ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: ‘Nítorí tí ìwọ ti di ìdàrọ́, èmi yóò kó yín jọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,
20 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn ṣe ń kó fàdákà, bàbà, irin, òjé àti idẹ jọ sínú iná ìléru láti fi iná yọ́ ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò kó ọ jọ ní ìbínú àti ìrunú mi, èmi yóò sì fi ọ sì àárín ìlú, èmi yóò sì yọ́ ọ. Níbẹ̀ ní ìwọ yóò sì ti yọ́.
just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
21 Èmi yóò kó yín jọ, èmi o sì fín iná ìbínú mi si yin lára, ẹ o si di yíyọ́ láàrín rẹ̀.
And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
22 Bí a ti ń yọ́ fàdákà nínú iná ìléru bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ní ìwọ yóò ṣe yọ́ nínú rẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ wí pé, Èmi Olúwa ti tú ìbínú mi sórí rẹ.’”
Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”
23 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún ilẹ̀ náà, ‘Ìwọ ní ilẹ̀ tí kò gbá mọ́, ti kò sì rọ òjò tàbí ìrì ní àkókò ìbínú.’
“Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
25 Ìdìtẹ̀ sì wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-aládé inú rẹ̀, tó dàbí bíbú kìnnìún tó ń fà ẹran ya, wọ́n ń ba àwọn ènìyàn jẹ́, wọ́n ń kó ìṣúra àti àwọn ohun iyebíye wọ́n sì ń sọ púpọ̀ di opó nínú rẹ̀.
There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
26 Àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ ti rú òfin mi, wọn si ti sọ ohun mímọ́ mi di àìlọ́wọ̀: wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ sáàrín ohun mímọ́ àti àìlọ́wọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò fi ìyàtọ̀ hàn láàrín ohun àìmọ́, àti mímọ́, wọn sì ti fi ojú wọn pamọ́ kúrò ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi, mó sì dí ẹni àìlọ́wọ̀ láàrín wọn.
Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
27 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé àárín rẹ̀ dàbí ìkookò ti ń ṣọdẹ, láti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láti pa ọkàn run, láti jèrè àìṣòótọ́.
Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
28 Àti àwọn wòlíì rẹ́ ti ṣẹ̀tàn sí wọn, wọn ń rì ìran asán, wọn sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ èké sí wọn, wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí,’ nígbà tí ó ṣépè Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀.
And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
29 Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà, tí lo ìwà ìninilára, wọn sì já olè, wọn sì ni àwọn tálákà àti aláìní lára; nítòótọ́, wọn tí ní àlejò lára láìnídìí. Kò sì ṣí ìdájọ́ òdodo.
The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
30 “Èmi si wá ẹnìkan láàrín wọn, tí ìbá tún odi náà mọ́, tí ìbá dúró ní ibi tí ó ya náà níwájú mi fún ilẹ̀ náà, kí èmi má bá à parun: ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò rí ẹnìkan.
And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.
31 Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe da ìbínú mi sí wọn lórí, mo ti fi iná ìbínú mi run wọn, mo si ti fi ọ̀nà wọn gbẹ̀san lórí ara wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
