Ezekiel 36

1 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn òkè gíga Israẹli kí o sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin òkè gíga Israẹli gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

“But as for you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord.

2 Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àwọn ọ̀tá sọ nípa yín pé, “Háà! Àwọn ibi gíga ìgbàanì ti di ohun ìní wa.”’

Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said about you: ‘It is well! The everlasting heights have been given to us as an inheritance!’

3 Nítorí náà, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé wọn sọ ọ di ahoro, tí wọn sì ń dọdẹ rẹ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà kí ìwọ kí ó lè di ìní fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù, àti ohun ti àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ ìríra àti ìdíbàjẹ́ sí,

because of this, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been made desolate, and you have been trampled on every side, and you have been made into an inheritance for the remainder of the nations, and because you rose up, over the tip of the tongue and over the shame of the people,

4 nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin òkè gíga Israẹli gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Olódùmarè, èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí fún àwọn òkè gíga àti àwọn òkè kéékèèké, fún àfonífojì ńlá àti àfonífojì kéékèèké, fún àwọn ibi ìsọdahoro ìparun àti fún àwọn ìlú tí a ti kọ̀sílẹ̀ tí a ti kó tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù ní àyíká sì fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà,

because of this, O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the torrents, and to the valleys, and to the deserts, and to the ruins, and to the forsaken cities, which have been depopulated and ridiculed by the remainder of the nations all around:

5 èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ìgbóná ọkàn ní mo sọ̀rọ̀ sí àwọn kèfèrí yòókù, àti sí Edomu, nítorí pẹ̀lú ìbínú àti ìjowú ní ọkàn wọn ni wọ́n sọ ilé mi di ohun ìní wọn, kí wọn kí o lè kó pápá oko tútù rẹ̀.’

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal, I have spoken about the remainder of the nations, and about all of Idumea, who have given my land to themselves, joyfully, as an inheritance, and with all the heart and mind, and who have cast it out, so that they may lay waste to it.

6 Nítorí náà, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa ilẹ̀ Israẹli náà kí o sì sọ sí àwọn òkè gíga náà àti àwọn òkè kéékèèké, sí àwọn àfonífojì ńlá àti sí àwọn àfonífojì kéékèèké, ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìrunú owú mi nítorí pé ìwọ ti jìyà ìfiṣẹ̀sín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.

Therefore, prophesy over the soil of Israel, and you shall say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my fury, because you have endured the shame of the Gentiles.

7 Nítorí náà, èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi ṣe ìbúra nípa nína ọwọ́ mi sókè pé; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àyíká rẹ náà yóò jìyà ìfiṣẹ̀sín.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, so that the Gentiles, who are all around you, will themselves bear their shame.

8 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, òkè gíga Israẹli, yóò mú ẹ̀ka àti èso fún àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli, nítorí wọn yóò wá sílé ní àìpẹ́ yìí.

But as for you, O mountains of Israel, spring forth your branches, and bear your fruit, to my people Israel. For they are close to their advent.

9 Èmi ń ṣe àníyàn fún ọ, èmi yóò sì fi rere wọ̀ ọ́; àwa yóò tu ọ́, àwa yóò sì gbìn ọ́,

For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be plowed, and you will receive seed.

10 èmi yóò sì sọ iye àwọn ènìyàn di púpọ̀ nínú rẹ àti gbogbo ilé Israẹli. Àwọn ìlú yóò di ibùgbé, a yóò sì tún àwọn ibi ìparun kọ́.

And I will multiply men among you and among all the house of Israel. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be restored.

11 Èmi yóò sọ iye ènìyàn àti ẹran dì púpọ̀ nínú yín, wọn yóò sì so èso, wọn yóò sì di púpọ̀ yanturu. Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn máa gbé nínú rẹ bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, èmi yóò sì mú kí o ṣe rere ju ìgbà àtijọ́ lọ. Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò mọ pé èmi ni Olúwa.

And I will fill you again with men and with cattle. And they will be multiplied, and they will increase. And I will cause you to live as from the beginning, and I will give you even greater gifts than those you had from the start. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn, àní àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli, rìn lórí rẹ̀. Wọn yóò gbà ọ́, ìwọ yóò sì di ogún ìní wọn; ìwọ kì yóò sì gba àwọn ọmọ wọn lọ́wọ́ wọn mọ́.

And I will lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without them.

13 “‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn sọ fún ọ pé, “Ìwọ pa àwọn ènìyàn run, ìwọ sì gba àwọn ọmọ orílẹ̀-èdè lọ́wọ́ wọn,”

Thus says the Lord God: Because they are saying about you, ‘You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,’

14 nítorí náà ìwọ kì yóò pa àwọn ènìyàn run tàbí mú kì orílẹ̀-èdè di aláìlọ́mọ mọ́, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own nation, says the Lord God.

15 Èmi kì yóò mú ki ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́, ìwọ kì yóò jìyà ọ̀rọ̀ ìfiṣẹ̀sín láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tàbí mú kí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ ṣubú, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”

Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, says the Lord God.”

16 Síwájú sí i ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n bà á jẹ́ nípa ìwà àti ìṣe wọn. Ìwà wọn dàbí nǹkan àkókò àwọn obìnrin ni ojú mi.

“Son of man, the house of Israel lived on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.

18 Nítorí náà mo tú ìbínú mi jáde sórí wọn nítorí wọn ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ àti nítorí pé wọ́n ti fi ère wọn ba a jẹ́.

And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.

19 Mo tú wọn ká sí àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, a sì fọ́n wọn ká sí àwọn ìlú; mo ṣe ìdájọ́ wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà àti ìṣe wọn.

And I dispersed them among the Gentiles, and they have been scattered among the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their plans.

20 Gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n lọ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ni wọn ti sọ orúkọ mímọ́ mi di aláìmọ́, nítorí tí a sọ nípa wọn pé, ‘Ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa, síbẹ̀ wọn ní láti fi ilẹ̀ náà sílẹ̀.’

And when they walked among the Gentiles, to whom they had entered, they defiled my holy name, though it was being said about them: ‘This is the people of the Lord,’ and ‘They went forth from his land.’

21 Orúkọ mímọ́ mi jẹ́ mi lógún, èyí tí ilé Israẹli sọ di aláìmọ́ ni àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n ti lọ.

But I have spared my holy name, which the house of Israel has defiled among the Gentiles, to whom they entered.

22 “Nítorí náà, sọ fún ilé Israẹli, ‘Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kì í ṣe nítorí rẹ, ìwọ ilé Israẹli, ni èmi yóò ṣe ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí orúkọ mímọ́ mi, èyí ti ìwọ ti sọ di aláìmọ́ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti lọ.

For this reason, you shall say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will act, not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you entered.

23 Èmi yóò fi jíjẹ́ mímọ́ orúkọ ńlá mi, èyí tí a ti sọ di aláìmọ́ hàn ni àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, orúkọ tí ìwọ ti sọ di aláìmọ́ ni àárín wọn. Nígbà náà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, nígbà tí mo bá fi ara mi hàn ni mímọ́ nípasẹ̀ yín ni iwájú wọn.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was defiled among the Gentiles, which you have defiled in their midst. So may the Gentiles know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I will have been sanctified in you, before their eyes.

24 “‘Nítorí èmi yóò mú yín jáde kúrò ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà; Èmi yóò ṣà yín jọ kúrò ní gbogbo àwọn ìlú náà; Èmi yóò sì mú yín padà sí ilẹ̀ ẹ̀yin tìkára yín.

Certainly, I will take you away from the Gentiles, and I will gather you together from all the lands, and I will lead you into your own land.

25 Èmi yóò wọ́n omi tó mọ́ sí yín lára ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ́; Èmi yóò sì fọ̀ yín mọ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo ìwà èérí yin gbogbo àti kúrò nínú gbogbo òrìṣà yin.

And I will pour clean water over you, and you shall be cleansed from all your filth, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.

26 Èmi yóò fún yín ni ọkàn tuntun, èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀mí tuntun sínú yín; Èmi yóò sì mú ọkàn òkúta kúrò nínú yín, èmi yóò sì fi ọkàn ẹran fún yín.

And I will give to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

27 Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí mi sínú yín, èmi yóò sì mú ki ẹ tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, kí ẹ sì fiyèsí àti pa òfin mi mọ́.

And I will place my Spirit in your midst. And I will act so that you may walk in my precepts and keep my judgments, and so that you may fulfill them.

28 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa gbé ilẹ̀ náà tí mo ti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín; ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín.

And you shall live in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Èmi yóò sì gbà yín kúrò nínú gbogbo ìwà àìmọ́ yín. Èmi yóò pèsè ọkà, èmi yóò sì mú kí ó pọ̀ yanturu, èmi kì yóò sì mú ìyàn wá sí orí yín.

And I will save you from all your filth. And I will call for grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not impose a famine upon you.

30 Èmi yóò sọ èso àwọn igi yín àti ohun ọ̀gbìn oko yín di púpọ̀, nítorí kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe jìyà ìdójútì mọ́ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà nítorí ìyàn.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you may no longer bear the disgrace of famine among the nations.

31 Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò rántí àwọn ọ̀nà búburú àti àwọn ìwà ìkà yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì kórìíra ara yín fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, ìwà tí kò bójúmu.

And you shall remember your very wicked ways and your intentions, which were not good. And you will be displeased by your own iniquities and your own crimes.

32 Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ń kò ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí nítorí yín, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. Jẹ kí ojú kí ó tì yín, kí ẹ sì gba ẹ̀tẹ́ nítorí ìwà yín ẹ̀yin ilé Israẹli!

It is not for your sakes that I will act, says the Lord God; let this be known to you. Be confounded and ashamed over your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 “‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ tí mo wẹ̀ yín kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín gbogbo, èmi yóò ṣe àtúnṣe àwọn ìlú yín, wọn yóò sì ṣe àtúnkọ́ ìwólulẹ̀.

Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I will have cleansed you from all your iniquities, and when I will have caused the cities to be inhabited, and when I will have restored the ruinous places,

34 Ilẹ̀ ahoro náà ní àwa yóò tún kọ́ ti kì yóò wà ní ahoro lójú àwọn tí ó ń gba ibẹ̀ kọjá mọ́.

and when the deserted land will have been cultivated, which previously was desolate to the eyes of all who passed by,

35 Wọn yóò sọ wí pé, “Ilẹ̀ yìí tí ó ti wà ní ahoro tẹ́lẹ̀ ti dàbí ọgbà Edeni; àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní wíwó lulẹ̀, ahoro tí a ti parun, ni àwa yóò mọdi sí tí yóò sì wà fún gbígbé ni ìsinsin yìí.”

then they shall say: ‘This uncultivated land has become a garden of delight, and the cities, which were deserted and destitute and overturned, have been settled and fortified.’

36 Nígbà náà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà ní àyíká yín tí ó kù yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti tún àwọn ohun tí ó bàjẹ́ kọ́, mo sì ti tún ohun tí ó di ìṣòfo gbìn. Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, èmi yóò sì ṣe e?’

And the Gentiles, those who remain around you, shall know that I, the Lord, have built up what was destroyed, and have planted what was uncultivated. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.

37 “Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ: Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i èmi yóò yí sí ilé Israẹli, èmi yóò sì ṣe èyí fún wọn. Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ènìyàn yín pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ bí àgùntàn,

Thus says the Lord God: Even in this time, the house of Israel shall find me, so that I may act for them. I will multiply them like a flock of men,

38 kí ó pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran fún ìrúbọ ní Jerusalẹmu ní àsìkò àjọ̀dún tí a yàn. Ìlú ti a parun yóò wá kún fún agbo àwọn ènìyàn. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.”

like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnities. So shall the deserted cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
