Ezekiel 34

1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ́ mi wá:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, fi àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ tako Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn Israẹli; sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún wọn pé: ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ègbé ni fún olùṣọ́-àgùntàn Israẹli tí ó ń tọ́jú ara wọn nìkan! Ṣé ó dára kí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ṣaláì tọ́jú agbo ẹran?

“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?

3 Ìwọ jẹ wàrà. O sì wọ aṣọ olówùú sí ara rẹ, o sì ń pa ẹran tí ó wù ọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò tọ́jú agbo ẹran.

You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.

4 Ìwọ kò ì tí ì mú aláìlágbára lára le tàbí wo aláìsàn sàn tàbí di ọgbẹ́ fún ẹni tí o fi ara pa. Ìwọ kò í tí ì mú aṣáko padà tàbí wá ẹni tí ó nù. Ìwọ ṣe àkóso wọn ní ọ̀nà lílé pẹ̀lú ìwà òǹrorò.

You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.

5 Nítorí náà wọn fọ́n káàkiri nítorí àìsí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, nígbà tí wọ́n fọ́nká tán wọn di ìjẹ fún gbogbo ẹranko búburú.

They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.

6 Àgùntàn mi n rin ìrìn àrè kiri ní gbogbo àwọn òkè gíga àti òkè kékeré. A fọ́n wọn ká gbogbo orí ilẹ̀ ẹni kankan kò sì wá wọn.

My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.

7 “‘Nítorí náà, ìwọ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:

8 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, nítorí pé agbo ẹran mi kò ní olùṣọ́-àgùntàn nítorí tí a kọ̀ wọ́n, tì wọ́n sì di ìjẹ fún ẹranko búburú gbogbo àti pé, nítorí tí àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mi kò ṣe àwárí agbo ẹran mi, ṣùgbọ́n wọn ń ṣe ìtọ́jú ara wọn dípò ìtọ́jú agbo ẹran mi,

As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,

9 nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!

10 Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi ṣe ìlòdì sí àwọn Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, èmi yóò sì béèrè agbo ẹran mi lọ́wọ́ wọn. Èmi yóò sì mú wọn dẹ́kun àti máa darí agbo ẹran mi, tí àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn náà kò sì ní lè bọ́ ara wọn mọ́. Èmi yóò gba agbo ẹran mi kúrò ni ẹnu wọn, kì yóò sì jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún wọn mọ́.

This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.

11 “‘Nítorí èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi fúnra mi yóò wá àgùntàn mi kiri, èmi yóò sì ṣe àwárí wọn.

For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.

12 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ṣe fojú tó agbo ẹran rẹ̀ tí ó fọ́nká nígbà tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣe fojú tó àgùntàn mi. Èmi yóò gbá wọn kúrò ni gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n fọ́nká sí ni ọjọ́ ìkùùkuu àti òkùnkùn.

Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.

13 Èmi yóò mú wọn jáde kúrò ní àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì kó wọn jọ láti inú àwọn ìlú, èmi yóò sì mú wọn wá sí ilẹ̀ ara wọn. Èmi yóò mú wọn jẹ ni orí àwọn òkè gíga Israẹli, ni àárín àwọn òkè àti ní gbogbo ibùdó ilẹ̀ náà.

I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.

14 Èmi yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú wọn ní pápá oko tútù dáradára, àní orí àwọn òkè gíga ti Israẹli ni yóò jẹ́ ilẹ̀ ìjẹ koríko wọ́n. Níbẹ̀ wọn yóò dùbúlẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ ìjẹ koríko dídára, níbẹ̀ wọn yóò jẹun ní pápá oko tútù tí ó dara ní orí òkè ti Israẹli.

I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.

15 Èmi fúnra mi yóò darí àgùntàn mi, èmi yóò mú wọn dùbúlẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.

16 Èmi yóò ṣe àwárí àwọn tí ó nú, èmi yóò mú àwọn tí ó ń rin ìrìn àrè kiri padà. Èmi yóò di ọgbẹ́ àwọn tí ó fi ara pa, èmi yóò sì fún àwọn aláìlágbára ni okun, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó sanra tí ó sì ni agbára ní èmi yóò parun. Èmi yóò ṣe olùṣọ́ àwọn agbo ẹran náà pẹ̀lú òdodo.

I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.

17 “‘Ní tìrẹ, agbo ẹran mi, èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín àgùntàn kan àti òmíràn, àti láàrín àgbò àti ewúrẹ́.

My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.

18 Ṣé oúnjẹ jíjẹ ní pápá oko tútù dídára kò tó yín! Ṣé ó jẹ́ dandan fún ọ láti fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ pápá oko tútù rẹ tí ó kù? Ṣé omi tí ó tòrò kò tó fún yín ní mímu? Ṣe dandan ni kí ó fi ẹrẹ̀ yí ẹsẹ̀ yín?

Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?

19 Ṣé dandan ni kí agbo ẹran mi jẹ́ koríko tí ẹ ti tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀, kí wọn sì mú omi tí wọ́n ti fi ẹsẹ̀ wọn sọ di ẹrẹ̀?

Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?

20 “‘Nítorí náà, èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí fún wọn: Wò ó, èmi fúnra mi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín àgùntàn tí ó sanra àti èyí tí ó rù.

That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.

21 Nítorí ti ìwọ sún síwájú pẹ̀lú ìhà àti èjìká, tí ìwọ sì kan aláìlágbára àgùntàn pẹ̀lú ìwo rẹ títí ìwọ fi lé wọn lọ,

Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,

22 Èmi yóò gba agbo ẹran mi là, a kì yóò sì kò wọ́n tì mọ́. Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín àgùntàn kan àti òmíràn.

I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.

23 Èmi yóò fi Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan ṣe olórí wọn, ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi, òun yóò sì tọ́jú wọn; òun yóò bọ́ wọn yóò sì jẹ́ Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn.

I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.

24 Èmi Olúwa yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi yóò jẹ́ ọmọ-aládé láàrín wọn. Èmi Olúwa ní o sọ̀rọ̀.

I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.

25 “‘Èmi yóò dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú wọn, èmi yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ náà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹranko búburú, kí wọn kí o lè gbé ní aṣálẹ̀, kí àgùntàn sì gbé ní inú igbó ní àìléwu.

I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.

26 Èmi yóò bùkún wọn àti ibi agbègbè ti ó yí òkè mi ká. Èmi yóò rán ọ̀wààrà òjò ni àkókò; òjò ìbùkún yóò sì wà.

I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.

27 Àwọn igi igbó yóò mú èso wọn jáde, ilẹ̀ yóò sì mu irúgbìn jáde; A yóò sì dá ààbò bo àwọn ènìyàn ní ilẹ̀ náà. Wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá já àwọn ohun tí ó ṣe okùnfà àjàgà, tí mo sì gbà wọ́n kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó fi wọ́n ṣe ẹrú.

The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.

28 Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kì yóò lè kó wọn ní ẹrú mọ́, àwọn ẹranko búburú kì yóò lè pa wọn mọ́. Wọn yóò gbé ni àìléwu, kò sì ṣí ẹni kankan tí yóò le dẹ́rùbà wọ́n.

They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.

29 Èmi yóò pèsè ilẹ̀ ti o ní oríyìn fún èso rẹ̀ fún wọn, wọn kì yóò sì jìyà nípasẹ̀ ìyàn mọ́ ni ilẹ̀ náà tàbí ru ẹ̀gàn àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.

I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.

30 Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, èmi wà pẹ̀lú wọn àti pé, àwọn ilé Israẹli jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.

31 Ìwọ àgùntàn mi, àgùntàn pápá mi; ni ènìyàn, èmi sì ni Ọlọ́run rẹ; ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”

You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
