Ezekiel 44

1 Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọkùnrin náà mú mi padà lọ sí ibi mímọ́, èyí tí ó kọjú sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, ó sì wà ní títì.

And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.

2 Olúwa sọ fún mi, “Ẹnu-ọ̀nà yìí ni kí ó wà ní títì. A kò gbọdọ̀ ṣí i sílẹ̀; kò sí ẹni tí o gbọdọ̀ gba ibẹ̀ wọlé. Ó gbọdọ̀ wà ní títì nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli tí gbà ibẹ̀ wọlé.

And Jehovah saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.

3 Ọmọ-aládé fúnra rẹ̀ ní o lè jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà náà kí o sì jẹun níwájú Olúwa. Ó gbọdọ̀ gba ọ̀nà ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé kí ó sì gba ibẹ̀ jáde.”

The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'

4 Lẹ́yìn náà, ọkùnrin náà mú mi gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà àríwá lọ sí iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run. Mo wò ó mo sì rí ògo Olúwa tí ó kún inú ilé Olúwa, mo sì dojúkọ ilẹ̀.

And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.

5 Olúwa sì sọ fún mì pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, wò dáradára, fetísílẹ̀ dáradára kí o sì fiyèsí ohun gbogbo tí mo sọ fún ọ nípa òfin lórí ilé Olúwa náà. Fiyèsí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run náà àti gbogbo àbájáde ibi mímọ́.

And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,

6 Sọ fún ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwà ìríra rẹ tí tó gẹ́ẹ́, ìwọ ilé Israẹli!

and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

7 Ní àfikún pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìwà ìríra rẹ tí ó kù, ìwọ mú àwọn àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara wá sí inú ibi mímọ́ mi, ní lílo ilé mi ní ìlòkulò nígbà tí ìwọ fi oúnjẹ fún mi, ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ sì ba májẹ̀mú mi jẹ́.

In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,

8 Dípò kí ìwọ pa òfin mi mọ́, ìwọ fi àwọn mìíràn sí ibi mímọ́ mi.

and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.

9 Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara kò gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,

10 “‘Àwọn Lefi tí wọn rìn jìnnà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣìnà, ti wọ́n sì ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti tọ àwọn ère wọn lẹ́yìn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.

but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.

11 Wọn le sìn mi ní ibi mímọ́ mi, kí wọn ṣe ìtọ́jú àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run, kí wọn sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ nínú rẹ̀; wọn le pa ẹbọ sísun, ki wọn sì rú ẹbọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọn sì dúró níwájú àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọ́n sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.

And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.

12 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé wọn ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn níwájú àwọn ère wọn, tí wọn sì mu ilé Israẹli ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, nítorí náà, Èmi tí búra nípa nína ọwọ́ sókè pé, wọn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.

13 Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà tàbí súnmọ́ nǹkan kan nínú àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi tàbí ẹbọ mi mímọ́ jùlọ; wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìtìjú ìwà ìríra wọn.

And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,

14 Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò mu wọn sí ìtọ́jú ilé Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí a gbọdọ̀ ṣe níbẹ̀.

and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.

15 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ Lefi àti àwọn ìran Sadoku tí fi tọkàntọkàn ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ mi nígbà tí àwọn Israẹli ṣáko lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ iwájú láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní iwájú mi, láti rú ẹbọ ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:

16 Àwọn nìkan ni ó gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi; àwọn nìkan ní o gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tábìlì mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ni iwájú mi, ki wọn sì ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn mi.

they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.

17 “‘Nígbà ti wọ́n wọ àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú, wọn yóò wọ ẹ̀wù ọ̀gbọ̀, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ wọ aṣọ onírun nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú tàbí ni inú ilé Ọlọ́run.

And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.

18 Wọ́n yóò sì dé fìlà ọ̀gbọ̀ sí orí wọn àti ṣòkòtò ọ̀gbọ̀ sí ìdí wọn. Wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ wọ ohunkóhun tí yóò mú wọn làágùn.

Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.

19 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ sì àgbàlá òde níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn wà, wọn gbọdọ̀ bọ́ ẹ̀wù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, ki wọn sì fi wọn sílẹ̀ sí àwọn yàrá mímọ́ náà, kí wọn kí ó sì wọ ẹ̀wù mìíràn, wọn kì yóò sì fi ẹ̀wù wọn sọ àwọn ènìyàn di mímọ́.

And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.

20 “‘Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun wọn gùn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun orí wọn wà ní gígẹ̀.

And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.

21 Àlùfáà kankan kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí nígbà tí ó bá wọ àgbàlá tí inú.

And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.

22 Wọn ko gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ni ìyàwó, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ kọ ìyàwó wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n lè fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ti kò tí i mọ ọkùnrin rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ìran àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, tàbí kí wọn fẹ́ àwọn opó àlùfáà.

And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.

23 Wọn yóò sì fi ìyàtọ̀ tí ó wà láàrín mímọ́ àti àìmọ́ kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi, wọn yóò sì fihàn wọ́n bi wọn yóò ṣe dá aláìmọ́ mọ̀ yàtọ̀ sí mímọ́.

'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.

24 “‘Nínú èyíkéyìí èdè-àìyedè, àwọn àlùfáà ní yóò dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí onídàájọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi. Wọ́n ní láti pa àwọn òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ ní gbogbo àjọ̀dún tí a yàn, wọn sì gbọdọ̀ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní mímọ́.

And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.

25 “‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nípa sísún mọ́ òkú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n ti òkú ènìyàn yẹn bá jẹ́ baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, àbúrò rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin ti kò i ti lọ́kọ, nígbà náà o le sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.

And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.

26 Lẹ́yìn ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ rẹ̀, ki òun kí ó dúró fún ọjọ́ méje.

'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.

27 Ní ọjọ́ ti yóò wọ àgbàlá ti inú ni ibi mímọ́ láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́, ni kí òun kí ó rú ọrẹ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

28 “‘Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ogún kan ṣoṣo tí àwọn àlùfáà yóò ní. Ẹ kì yóò fún wọn ni ìpín kankan ní Israẹli, Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ìní wọn.

And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.

29 Wọn yóò jẹ ọrẹ ẹbọ jíjẹ, ọrẹ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ ìrékọjá; gbogbo ohun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ni Israẹli ni yóò jẹ́ tiwọn.

The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.

30 Èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú gbogbo àkọ́so èso àti ọrẹ yín yóò jẹ́ ti àwọn àlùfáà. Ẹ ó sì fi àkọ́pò ìyẹ̀fun yín fún wọn kí ìbùkún lè wà lórí gbogbo ilé yín.

And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.

31 Àwọn àlùfáà kì yóò jẹ́ ohunkóhun bí i ẹyẹ tàbí ẹranko, tí ó ti kú fúnra rẹ̀ tàbí èyí ti ẹranko ńlá fàya.

Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
