< Ezekiel 23 >

1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, obìnrin méjì wà, ọmọ ìyá kan náà.
“Son of man, two women were 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.
and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.
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.
Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5 “Ohola ń ṣe panṣágà nígbà tí ó sì jẹ́ tèmi; Ó sì ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, àwọn jagunjagun ará Asiria.
And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,
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 with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted 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 distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.
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.
Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.
9 “Nítorí náà mo fi i sílẹ̀ fún àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, ará Asiria, tí ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí i.
Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.
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.
They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.
11 “Àbúrò rẹ̀ Oholiba rí èyí, síbẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àti panṣágà rẹ̀, Ó ba ara rẹ jẹ́ ju ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ lọ.
And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication 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 shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.
13 Mo rí i pé òun náà ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́; àwọn méjèèjì rìn ojú ọ̀nà kan náà.
And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.
14 “Ṣùgbọ́n ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú ṣíṣe panṣágà. O ri àwòrán àwọn ọkùnrin lára ògiri, àwòrán àwọn ara Kaldea àwòrán pupa,
And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,
15 pẹ̀lú ìgbànú ni ìdí wọn àti àwọn ìgbàrí ni orí wọn; gbogbo wọn dàbí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Babeli ọmọ ìlú Kaldea.
with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,
16 Ní kété tí ó rí wọn, ó ní ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ sí wọn, ó sì rán oníṣẹ́ sí wọn ni Kaldea.
she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
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 when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by 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.
Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn 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.
For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated 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 mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow 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 you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.
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
Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:
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 sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.
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 overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.
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 against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.
26 Wọn yóò sì kó àwọn aṣọ àti àwọn ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ iyebíye yín.
And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.
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.
And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember 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 thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.
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 act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.
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 have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.
31 Ìwọ ti rin ọ̀nà ti ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ rìn, Èmi yóò sì fi ago rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice 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.
Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.
33 Ìwọ yóò mu àmupara àti ìbànújẹ́, ago ìparun àti ìsọdahoro ago ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ Samaria.
You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice 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 you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.
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.”
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”
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,
And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?
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 they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.
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.
But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.
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.
And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of 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.
They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine 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.
You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.
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 the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
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.’
And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’
44 Wọn ba sùn bí ọkùnrin ti bá panṣágà sùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe sùn pẹ̀lú obìnrin onífẹ̀kúfẹ̀ẹ́, Ohola àti Oholiba.
And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.
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.
But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their 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 thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.
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 may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses 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 take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.
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 they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
