< Ezekiel 23 >
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, obìnrin méjì wà, ọmọ ìyá kan náà.
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
3 Wọn ń ṣe panṣágà ní Ejibiti, wọn ń ṣe panṣágà láti ìgbà èwe wọn. Ní ilẹ̀ yẹn ni wọn ti fi ọwọ́ pa ọyàn wọn, níbẹ̀ ni wọn sì fọwọ́ pa igbá àyà èwe wọn.
They were acting like loose women in Egypt; when they were young their behaviour was loose: there their breasts were crushed, even the points of their young breasts were crushed.
4 Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ń jẹ́ Ohola, àbúrò rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ́ Oholiba. Tèmi ni wọ́n, wọ́n sì bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin. Ohola ni Samaria, Oholiba sì ni Jerusalẹmu.
Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.
5 “Ohola ń ṣe panṣágà nígbà tí ó sì jẹ́ tèmi; Ó sì ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, àwọn jagunjagun ará Asiria.
And Oholah was untrue to me when she was mine; she was full of desire for her lovers, even for the Assyrians, her neighbours,
6 Aṣọ aláró ni a fi wọ̀ wọ́n, àwọn gómìnà àti àwọn balógun, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin.
Who were clothed in blue, captains and rulers, all of them young men to be desired, horsemen seated on horses.
7 O fi ara rẹ̀ fún gbajúmọ̀ ọkùnrin Asiria gẹ́gẹ́ bí panṣágà obìnrin, o fi òrìṣà gbogbo àwọn tí ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́,
And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.
8 kò fi ìwà panṣágà tí ó ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, ni Ejibiti sílẹ̀, ní ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin n bá a sùn, wọn fi ọwọ́ pa àyà èwe rẹ̀ lára wọn sì ń ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i.
And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.
9 “Nítorí náà mo fi i sílẹ̀ fún àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, ará Asiria, tí ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i.
For this cause I gave her up into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians on whom her desire was fixed.
10 Wọ́n bọ́ ọ sí ìhòhò, wọ́n sì gba àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ wọn sì pa wọn pẹ̀lú idà. Ó di ẹni ìfisọ̀rọ̀ sọ láàrín àwọn obìnrin wọ́n sì fi ìyà jẹ ẹ́.
By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.
11 “Àbúrò rẹ̀ Oholiba rí èyí, síbẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti panṣágà rẹ̀, Ó ba ara rẹ jẹ́ ju ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ lọ.
And her sister Oholibah saw this, but her desire was even more unmeasured, and her loose behaviour was worse than that of her sister.
12 Òun náà ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí ará Asiria àwọn gómìnà àti àwọn balógun, jagunjagun nínú aṣọ ogun, àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà.
She was full of desire for the Assyrians, captains and rulers, her neighbours, clothed in blue, horsemen going on horses, all of them young men to be desired.
13 Mo rí i pé òun náà ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́; àwọn méjèèjì rìn ojú ọ̀nà kan náà.
And I saw that she had become unclean; the two of them went the same way.
14 “Ṣùgbọ́n ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú ṣíṣe panṣágà. O ri àwòrán àwọn ọkùnrin lára ògiri, àwòrán àwọn ara Kaldea àwòrán pupa,
And her loose behaviour became worse; for she saw men pictured on a wall, pictures of the Chaldaeans painted in bright red,
15 pẹ̀lú ìgbànú ni ìdí wọn àti àwọn ìgbàrí ni orí wọn; gbogbo wọn dàbí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Babeli ọmọ ìlú Kaldea.
With bands round their bodies and with head-dresses hanging round their heads, all of them looking like rulers, like the Babylonians, the land of whose birth is Chaldaea.
16 Ní kété tí ó rí wọn, ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí wọn, ó sì rán oníṣẹ́ sí wọn ni Kaldea.
And when she saw them she was full of desire for them, and sent servants to them in Chaldaea.
17 Àwọn ará Babeli wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, lórí ibùsùn ìfẹ́, nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wọn, wọ́n bà á jẹ́. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n bà á jẹ́ tán, ó yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn ní ìtìjú.
And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.
18 Nígbà tí ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú iṣẹ́ panṣágà rẹ̀ ní gbangba wọ́n sì tú u sí ìhòhò, mo yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìtìjú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀.
So her loose behaviour was clearly seen and her shame uncovered: then my soul was turned from her as it had been turned from her sister.
19 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ó ń pọ̀ sí i nínú ìdàpọ̀ rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń rántí ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ tí ó jẹ́ panṣágà ní Ejibiti.
But still she went on the more with her loose behaviour, keeping in mind the early days when she had been a loose woman in the land of Egypt.
20 Nítorí ó fẹ́ olùfẹ́ àwọn olùfẹ́ wọn ní àfẹ́jù, tí àwọn tí nǹkan ọkùnrin wọn dàbí ti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àwọn ẹni tí ìtújáde ara wọn dàbí ti àwọn ẹṣin.
And she was full of desire for her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses and whose seed is like the seed of horses.
21 Báyìí ni ìwọ pe ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ìgbà èwe rẹ wá sí ìrántí, ní ti rírin orí ọmú rẹ láti ọwọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti, fún ọmú ìgbà èwe rẹ.
And she made the memory of the loose ways of her early years come back to mind, when her young breasts were crushed by the Egyptians.
22 “Nítorí náà, Oholiba, báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Èmi yóò gbé olólùfẹ́ rẹ dìde sí ọ, àwọn tí o kẹ́yìn si ní ìtìjú, èmi yóò sì mú wọn dojúkọ ọ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà
For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;
23 àwọn ará Babeli àti gbogbo ara Kaldea àwọn ọkùnrin Pekodi àti Ṣoa àti Koa àti gbogbo ará Asiria pẹ̀lú wọn, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin arẹwà, gbogbo àwọn gómìnà àti balógun, olórí oníkẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn onípò gíga, gbogbo àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin.
The Babylonians and all the Chaldaeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: young men to be desired, captains and rulers all of them, and chiefs, her neighbours, all of them on horseback.
24 Wọn yóò wa dojúkọ ọ pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà, kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù àti pẹ̀lú ìwọ́jọpọ̀ ènìyàn; wọn yóò mú ìdúró wọn lòdì sí ọ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú asà ńlá àti kékeré pẹ̀lú àṣíborí. Èmi yóò yí ọ padà sí wọn fun ìjìyà, wọn yóò sì fi ìyà jẹ ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn tí tó.
And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.
25 Èmi yóò sì dojú ìbínú owú mi kọ ọ́, wọn yóò sì fìyà jẹ ọ́ ní ìrunú. Wọ́n yóò gé àwọn imú àti àwọn etí yín kúrò, àwọn tí ó kù nínú yín yóò ti ipá idà ṣubú. Wọn yóò mú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín lọ, àwọn tí o kù nínú yín ni iná yóò jórun.
And my bitter feeling will be working against you, and they will take you in hand with passion; they will take away your nose and your ears, and the rest of you will be put to the sword: they will take your sons and daughters, and the rest of you will be burned up in the fire.
26 Wọn yóò sì kó àwọn aṣọ àti àwọn ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ iyebíye yín.
And they will take all your clothing off you and take away your ornaments.
27 Èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti iṣẹ́ panṣágà tí ẹ bẹ̀rẹ̀ ni Ejibiti. Ẹ̀yin kò ní wo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú ìpòùngbẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò ní rántí Ejibiti mọ.
So I will put an end to your evil ways and your loose behaviour which came from the land of Egypt: and your eyes will never be lifted up to them again, and you will have no more memory of Egypt.
28 “Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi yóò fi ọ lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra, lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹni tí ọkàn rẹ ti ṣí kúrò.
For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will give you up into the hands of those who are hated by you, into the hands of those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust:
29 Wọn yóò fìyà jẹ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ìkórìíra, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tí o ṣiṣẹ́ fún lọ. Wọn yóò fi ọ́ sílẹ̀ ní ìhòhò goloto, ìtìjú iṣẹ́ panṣágà rẹ ni yóò farahàn. Ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀ àti panṣágà rẹ.
And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.
30 Èmi yóò ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí ọ, nítorí ìwọ ti bá àwọn kèfèrí ṣe àgbèrè lọ, o sì fi àwọn òrìṣà wọn ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́.
They will do these things to you because you have been untrue to me, and have gone after the nations, and have become unclean with their images.
31 Ìwọ ti rin ọ̀nà ti ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ rìn, Èmi yóò sì fi ago rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
You have gone in the way of your sister; and I will give her cup into your hand.
32 “Èyí yìí ní ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Ìwọ yóò mu nínú ago ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ, ago tí ó tóbi tí ó sì jinnú: yóò mú ìfiṣẹ̀sín àti ìfiṣe ẹlẹ́yà wá, nítorí tí ago náà gba nǹkan púpọ̀.
This is what the Lord has said: You will take a drink from your sister's cup, which is deep and wide: you will be laughed at and looked down on, more than you are able to undergo.
33 Ìwọ yóò mu àmupara àti ìbànújẹ́, ago ìparun àti ìsọdahoro ago ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ Samaria.
You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Ìwọ yóò mú un ni àmugbẹ; ìwọ yóò sì fọ sí wẹ́wẹ́ ìwọ yóò sì fa ọmú rẹ̀ ya. Èmi ti sọ̀rọ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
And after drinking it and draining it out, you will take the last drops of it to the end, pulling off your breasts: for I have said it, says the Lord.
35 “Nítorí náà báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Níwọ́n bí ìwọ ti gbàgbé mi, tí ìwọ sì ti fi mi sí ẹ̀yìn rẹ, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ gba àbájáde ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti panṣágà rẹ.”
So this is what the Lord has said: Because you have not kept me in your memory, and because your back has been turned to me, you will even undergo the punishment of your evil designs and your loose ways.
36 Olúwa sọ fún mi pé: “Ọmọ ènìyàn, ń jẹ́ ìwọ yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ Ohola àti Oholiba? Nítorí náà dojúkọ wọn nípa ìkórìíra tí wọn ń ṣe,
Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, will you be the judge of Oholibah? then make clear to her the disgusting things she has done.
37 nítorí wọn ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ní ọwọ́ wọn. Wọn dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà pẹ̀lú àwọn òrìṣà wọn; kódà wọ́n fi àwọn ọmọ wọn tí wọn bí fún ni ṣe ìrúbọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí oúnjẹ fún wọn.
For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.
38 Bákan náà ni wọ́n ti ṣe èyí náà sí mi. Ní àkókò kan náà wọn ba ibi mímọ́ mi jẹ́, wọ́n sì lo ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní àìmọ́.
Further, this is what she has done to me: she has made my holy place unclean and has made my Sabbaths unclean.
39 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an wọ́n fi àwọn ọmọ wọn rú ẹbọ sí àwọn òrìṣà, wọn wọ ibi mímọ́ mi lọ wọn sì lò ó ní ìlòkulò. Ìyẹn ní wọn ṣe ní ilé mi.
For when she had made an offering of her children to her images, she came into my holy place to make it unclean; see, this is what she has done inside my house.
40 “Wọn tilẹ̀ rán oníṣẹ́ sí àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, nígbà tí wọ́n dé, ìwọ wẹ ara rẹ fún wọn, ìwọ kún ojú rẹ, ìwọ sì fi ọ̀ṣọ́ iyebíye sára.
And she even sent for men to come from far away, to whom a servant was sent, and they came: for whom she was washing her body and painting her eyes and making herself fair with ornaments.
41 Ìwọ jókòó lórí ibùsùn ti o lẹ́wà, pẹ̀lú tábìlì tí a tẹ́ ní iwájú rẹ lórí, èyí tí o gbé tùràrí àti òróró tí ó jẹ́ tèmi kà.
And she took her seat on a great bed, with a table put ready before it on which she put my perfume and my oil.
42 “Ariwo ìjọ ènìyàn tí kò bìkítà wà ní àyíká rẹ̀; a mú àwọn ara Sabeani láti aginjù pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin láti ara àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn aláìníláárí, wọ́n sì mú àwọn ẹ̀gbà ọrùn ọwọ́ sí àwọn ọwọ́ obìnrin náà àti ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀, adé dáradára sì wà ní orí wọn.
... and they put jewels on her hands and beautiful crowns on her head.
43 Lẹ́yìn náà mo sọ̀rọ̀ nípa èyí tí ó lo ara rẹ̀ sá nípa panṣágà ṣíṣe, ‘Nísinsin yìí jẹ kí wọn lo o bí panṣágà, nítorí gbogbo ohun tí ó jẹ́ nìyẹn.’
Then I said ... now she will go on with her loose ways.
44 Wọn ba sùn bí ọkùnrin ti bá panṣágà sùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe sùn pẹ̀lú obìnrin onífẹ̀kúfẹ̀ẹ́, Ohola àti Oholiba.
And they went in to her, as men go to a loose woman: so they went in to Oholibah, the loose woman.
45 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin olódodo yóò pàṣẹ pé kí wọ́n fi ìyà jẹ àwọn obìnrin tí ó dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè tí ó sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ nítorí pé panṣágà ni wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ní ọwọ́ wọn.
And upright men will be her judges, judging her as false wives and women who take lives are judged; because she has been untrue to me and blood is on her hands.
46 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Mú àgbájọ àwọn ènìyànkénìyàn wá sọ́dọ̀ wọn ki ó sì fi wọn lé ọwọ́ ìpayà àti ìkógun.
For this is what the Lord has said: I will make a great meeting of the people come together against her, and will send on her shaking fear and take everything from her.
47 Àwọn ènìyànkénìyàn náà yóò sọ wọ́n ni òkúta, yóò sì gé wọn lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà wọn; wọn ó sì pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn, wọ́n ó sì jó àwọn ilé wọn kanlẹ̀.”
And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.
48 “Èmi yóò sì fi òpin sí ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ni ilẹ̀ náà, kí gbogbo àwọn obìnrin le gba ìkìlọ̀ kí wọn kí ó ma sì ṣe fi ara wé ọ.
And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done.
49 Ìwọ yóò sì jìyà fún ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì gba àbájáde àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ panṣágà tí o dá. Nígbà náà ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè.”
And I will send on you the punishment of your evil ways, and you will be rewarded for your sins with your images: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
