< Ezekiel 34 >
And there is a word of YHWH 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 concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
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 fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not 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 have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
5 Nítorí náà wọn fọ́n káàkiri nítorí àìsí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, nígbà tí wọ́n fọ́nká tán wọn di ìjẹ fún gbogbo ẹranko búburú.
And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
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 flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
7 “‘Nítorí náà, ìwọ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
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—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
9 nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
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.
Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
11 “‘Nítorí èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi fúnra mi yóò wá àgùntàn mi kiri, èmi yóò sì ṣe àwárí wọn.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
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.
As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
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.
And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
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 feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
15 Èmi fúnra mi yóò darí àgùntàn mi, èmi yóò mú wọn dùbúlẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
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.
And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male 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?
Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder 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?
And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
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.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean 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,
Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
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.
Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
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.
And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,
24 Èmi Olúwa yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi yóò jẹ́ ọmọ-aládé láàrín wọn. Èmi Olúwa ní o sọ̀rọ̀.
And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, 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.
And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
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.
And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are 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.
And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
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.
And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
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.
And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
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.
And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
31 Ìwọ àgùntàn mi, àgùntàn pápá mi; ni ènìyàn, èmi sì ni Ọlọ́run rẹ; ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
