Ezekiel 3

1 Síwájú sí i, ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ ohun tí ó wà níwájú rẹ, jẹ ìwé kíká yìí; kí o sì lọ fi bá ilé Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀.”

And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”

2 Mo sì ya ẹnu mi, ó sì mú mi jẹ ìwé kíká náà.

And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.

3 Ó tún sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ ìwé kíká tí mo fún ọ yìí, fi bọ́ inú àti ikùn rẹ.” Nígbà náà ni mo jẹ ẹ́, dídùn rẹ̀ dàbí oyin ní ẹnu mi.

And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.

4 Ó sì tún sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, lọ ni ìsinsin yìí bá mi sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi fún ilé Israẹli.

And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.

5 A kò rán ọ sí àwọn tó ń sọ èdè àjèjì tàbí tí èdè wọn ṣòro láti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n orílẹ̀-èdè Israẹli ni mo rán ọ sí

For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,

6 kì í ṣe sí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tó ń sọ àjèjì èdè tàbí tí èdè wọn ṣòro láti gbọ́, àwọn tí ọ̀rọ̀ wọn le fún ọ láti gbọ́ yé. Dájúdájú bí mo bá rán ọ sí wọn, wọn ìbá sì fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ.

and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n ilé Israẹli kò fẹ́ gbọ́ tìrẹ nítorí pé wọn kò fẹ́ láti gbọ́ tèmi, torí pé aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ́kàn líle ni gbogbo ilé Israẹli.

Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.

8 Ṣùgbọ́n bí i tiwọn lèmi náà yóò ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú àti ọkàn rẹ le.

Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.

9 Èmi yóò ṣe iwájú orí rẹ bí òkúta tó le jùlọ, ànító le ju òkúta-ìbọn lọ. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn tàbí jẹ́ kí wọn ó dáyà já ọ. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìdílé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni wọ́n.”

I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”

10 Ó sì sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ń sọ, kí o sì gba gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí sí ọkàn rẹ.

And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.

11 Lọ nísinsin yìí sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tó wà ní ìgbèkùn. Sọ fún wọn pé báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí yálà wọ́n gbọ́ tàbí wọn kò gbọ́.”

And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”

12 Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀mí gbé mi sókè, mo sì gbọ́ ohùn ìró ńlá lẹ́yìn mi tó sọ pé, kí a gbé ògo Olúwa ga láti ibùgbé rẹ̀ wá!

And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”

13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo tún gbọ́ ariwo ìyẹ́ apá àti kẹ̀kẹ́ àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè náà pẹ̀lú ariwo tó dàbí àrá ńlá.

and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.

14 Ẹ̀mí náà sì gbé mi sókè, ó sì mú mi lọ, mo lọ pẹ̀lú ọkàn kíkorò àti ìbínú nínú ẹ̀mí mi, pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ líle Olúwa ni ara mi.

Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.

15 Nígbà náà ni mo lọ sí etí odò Kebari níbi tí àwọn ìgbèkùn ń gbé ni Teli-Abibu. Níbẹ̀ níbi tí wọ́n ń gbé, mo jókòó láàrín wọn pẹ̀lú ìyanu, fún ọjọ́ méje.

And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.

16 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méje, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,

Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, mo ti fi ọ́ ṣe olùṣọ́ fún ilé Israẹli; nítorí náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ń sọ, fún wọn ní ìkìlọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.

18 Bí mo bá sọ fún ènìyàn búburú pé, dájúdájú, ‘Ìwọ yóò kú,’ tí ìwọ kò sì kìlọ̀ fún ènìyàn búburú yìí láti dáwọ́ ìwà ibi rẹ̀ dúró, kí o sì gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là, ènìyàn búburú náà yóò kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọwọ́ rẹ ni èmi yóò ti béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.

If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.

19 Ṣùgbọ́n bí o bá kìlọ̀ fún ènìyàn búburú, tí ó kọ̀ tí kò fi ìwà búburú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ọrùn tìrẹ ti mọ́.

But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.

20 “Bákan náà, bí olódodo kan bá yípadà, tó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe àìṣòdodo, tí mo sì fi ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà rẹ̀, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀. Nítorí pé ìwọ kọ̀ láti kìlọ̀ fún un, yóò kú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, a ó gbàgbé gbogbo ìwà rere tó ti hù tẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.

Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.

21 Ṣùgbọ́n bí o bá kìlọ̀ fún olódodo tó sì dáwọ́ ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ dúró, dájúdájú òun yóò yè nítorí pé ó ti gba ìkìlọ̀, ọrùn tìrẹ sì mọ́.”

But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”

22 Ọwọ́ Olúwa wà lára mi níbẹ̀, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Dìde, lọ sí ibi tí ó tẹ́jú, èmi yóò sì bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ níbẹ̀.”

And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

23 Mo sì dìde, mo lọ sí ibi tí ó tẹ́jú. Ògo Olúwa dúró níbẹ̀, ó dàbí irú ògo tí mo rí létí odò Kebari, mo sì dojúbolẹ̀.

And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

24 Nígbà náà ni Ẹ̀mí wọ inú mi, tí ó sì tún gbé mi dúró. Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Lọ, ti ara rẹ mọ́ inú ilé rẹ

And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.

25 ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, wọn yóò fi okùn dè ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀; dé ibi pé ìwọ kò ní í le rìn káàkiri láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.

And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.

26 Èmi yóò mú kí ahọ́n rẹ lẹ̀ mọ́ àjà ẹnu rẹ, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ ti ìwọ yóò wà ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́. Ìwọ kò sì ní lè bá wọn wí, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ní wọn.

And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.

27 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí èmi bá bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀, Èmi yóò ṣí ọ lẹ́nu, ìwọ yóò sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’ Ẹni tó bá fẹ́ kí ó gbọ́, ẹni tó bá fẹ́ kọ̀, kó kọ̀ nítorí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni wọ́n.

But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
