Ezekiel 24
1 Ní ọdún kẹsànán, oṣù kẹwàá, ọjọ́ kẹwàá, ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
The word of Yahweh came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, saying,
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọ ọjọ́ náà sílẹ̀, ọjọ́ náà gan an, nítorí ọba Babeli náà ti da ojú ti Jerusalẹmu ní ọjọ́ yìí gan an.
“Son of man, write for yourself the name of this day, this exact day, for this exact day the king of Babylon has besieged Jerusalem.
3 Sì pa òwe yìí fún ilé ọlọ́tẹ̀ náà, sọ fún wọn pé: ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Gbé ìkòkò ìdáná náà ka iná, gbé e ka iná kí o sì da omi sí i nínú.
So speak a proverb against this rebellious house, a parable. Say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Place the cooking pot. Place it and pour water into it.
4 Kó àwọn ègé ẹran tí a gé náà sínú rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ègé ẹran tí ó tóbi, itan àti apá. Kó àwọn egungun tí ó dára jù sínú rẹ̀,
Gather pieces of food within it, every good piece—the thigh and shoulder— and fill it with the best bones.
5 mú àwọn tí ó jọjú nínú agbo ẹran. Kó àwọn egungun sí abẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀; sì jẹ́ kí ó hó dáradára sì jẹ́ kí àwọn egungun náà bọ̀ nínú rẹ̀.
Take the best of the flock and pile up the bones under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
6 Nítorí báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Ègbé ni fún ìlú ẹlẹ́jẹ̀ náà, fún ìkòkò náà tí èérí rẹ̀ wà nínú rẹ̀, tí èérí kò dà kúrò lójú rẹ̀! Mú ẹran náà jáde ní ekìrí ekìrí má ṣe ṣà wọ́n mú.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the city of blood, a cooking pot that has rust in it and that rust will not come out of it. Take piece after piece from it, but do not cast lots for it.
7 “‘Nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ó ta sílẹ̀ wà ní àárín rẹ̀; à á sí orí àpáta kan lásán kò dà á sí orí ilẹ̀, níbi ti erùpẹ̀ yóò ti bò ó.
For her blood is in the midst of her. She has set it on the smooth rock; she has not poured it out on the ground to cover it with dust,
8 Láti bá à le jẹ́ kí ìbínú kí ó dé láti gbẹ̀san mo da ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sí orí àpáta kan lásán, kí o ma bà á wà ni bíbò.
so it brings fury up to exact vengeance. I placed her blood on the smooth rock so it could not be covered.
9 Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Ègbé ni fún ìlú ẹlẹ́jẹ̀ náà! Èmi pàápàá yóò jẹ́ kí òkìtì iná náà tóbi.
Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the city of blood. I will also enlarge the pile of wood.
10 Nítorí náà kó igi náà jọ sí i, kí o sì fi iná sí i. Ṣe ẹran náà dáradára, fi tùràrí dùn ún; kí o sì jẹ́ kí egungun náà jóná.
Stack up the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well and mix in the spices and let the bones be charred.
11 Lẹ́yìn náà gbé òfìfo ìkòkò náà lórí ẹyin iná kí idẹ rẹ̀ lè gbóná, kí ó lè pọ́n àti ki ìfófó rẹ̀ le di yíyọ́ nínú rẹ̀ kí èérí rẹ̀ le jó dànù.
Then set the pot on its coals empty, in order to heat and scorch its bronze, so its uncleanness within it will be melted, its corrosion consumed.'
12 Ó ti ba gbogbo akitiyan jẹ: èérí rẹ̀ kò sì jáde kúrò lára rẹ̀, èérí náà gan an yóò wà nínú iná.
She has become weary because of toil, but her corrosion has not gone out of her by the fire.
13 “‘Nísinsin yìí èérí rẹ̀ ni ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wà. Nítorí mo gbìyànjú láti wẹ̀ ọ́ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò sì mọ́ kúrò nínú ìwà ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, a kì yóò sì tún wẹ̀ ọ mọ́ kúrò nínú èérí rẹ, títí èmi yóò fi jẹ́ kí ìbínú mi balẹ̀ sórí rẹ̀.
Your shameful behavior is in your uncleanness. Because I tried to cleanse you but still you would not be cleansed from your uncleanness, you will not be cleansed anymore until I have satisfied my fury upon you.
14 “‘Èmi Olúwa ni ó sọ ọ́, yóò sì ṣe, èmi yóò sì ṣe é. Èmi kì yóò padà sẹ́yìn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò dá sí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò yí ọkàn mi padà; gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ, ni wọn yóò dá ọ lẹ́jọ́, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
I, Yahweh, have declared it, and I will do it. I will not relent nor will I rest from it. As your ways were, and as your activities, they will judge you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
15 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá pé:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
16 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, kíyèsi i, mo mú ìfẹ́ ojú rẹ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, nípa lílù kan. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ gbààwẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọkún, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni omijé ojú rẹ kò gbọdọ̀ kán sílẹ̀.
“Son of man! Behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you with a plague, but you must not mourn nor weep, and your tears must not flow.
17 Má ṣe sọkún, má ṣe gbààwẹ̀ fún òkú. Wé ọ̀já sí orí rẹ, sì bọ bàtà sí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, má ṣe bo ètè ìsàlẹ̀ rẹ, ma ṣe jẹ oúnjẹ tí àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ń jẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà.”
You must groan silently. Do not conduct a funeral for the dead. Tie your turban on you and place your sandals on your feet, but do not veil your facial hair or eat the bread of men who mourn for having lost their wives.”
18 Báyìí ni mo sọ̀rọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn ní òwúrọ̀, ní àṣálẹ́ ìyàwó mi sì kú. Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, mo ṣe bí a ti pàṣẹ fún mi.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. In the morning I did what I had been commanded to do.
19 Lẹ́yìn náà àwọn ènìyàn bi mí léèrè pé, “Ṣe o kò ni sọ fún wa ohun ti nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní láti ṣe pẹ̀lú wa?”
The people asked me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean, the things that you are doing?”
20 Mo sọ báyìí fún wọn pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
So I said to them, “The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
21 Sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi i, èmi yóò sọ ibi mímọ́ mi di ibi àìmọ́ tayọ agbára yín, ìfẹ́ ojú yín, ìkáàánú yín, àti ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin tí ẹ̀yin fi sílẹ̀ sẹ́yìn yóò ṣubú nípa idà.
'Say to the house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will desecrate my sanctuary—the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind will fall by the sword.
22 Ẹyin yóò sì ṣe bí mo ti ṣe. Ẹ̀yin kì yóò bo ìsàlẹ̀ ojú yín tàbí jẹ oúnjẹ ti àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ń jẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà.
Then you will do exactly as I have done: you will not veil your facial hair, nor eat the bread of mourning men!
23 Ẹ̀yin yóò fi àwọn ọ̀já wé àwọn orí yín àti àwọn bàtà ni ẹsẹ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ tàbí sọkún, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò ṣòfò dànù nítorí àwọn àìṣedéédéé yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa kérora láàrín ara yín.
Instead, your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn nor weep, for you will melt away in your iniquities, and each man will groan for his brother.
24 Esekiẹli yóò jẹ àmì fún un yín; ẹ̀yin yóò sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ṣe. Nígbà tí èyí bá ṣẹlẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè.’
So Ezekiel will be a sign for you, as everything that he has done you will do when this comes. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!'”
25 “Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìwọ, Ọmọ ènìyàn, kì yóò ha jẹ́ pé, ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà ti mo bá gba agbára wọn, ayọ̀ wọn àti ògo wọn, ìfẹ́ ojú wọn, ohun tí wọn gbé ọkàn wọn lé, àti àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ obìnrin wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn,
“But you, son of man, on the day that I capture their temple, which is their joy, their pride, and what they see and desire—and when I take away their sons and daughters—
26 ní ọjọ́ náà ẹni tí ó bá sálà yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti sọ ìròyìn náà fún ọ.
on that day, a refugee will come to you to give you the news!
27 Ní ọjọ́ náà ẹnu rẹ yóò sì ṣí; ìwọ yóò sọ̀rọ̀, ìwọ kì yóò sì yadi mọ́. Báyìí ìwọ yóò jẹ́ àmì fún wọn; wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa.”
On that day your mouth will be opened up to that refugee and you will speak—you will no longer be silent. You will be a sign for them so that they will know that I am Yahweh.”
