< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “Báyìí, ọmọ ènìyàn, mú ìdá tí ó mú kí o sì fi ṣe abẹ ìfárí onígbàjámọ̀, kí o fi fá irun orí àti irùngbọ̀n rẹ. Fi irun yìí sórí ìwọ̀n kí o sì pín in.
And thou, son of man, take unto thyself a sharp sword, a barber's razor shalt thou take for it unto thyself, and cause it to pass over thy head and over thy beard: then take unto thee balances for weighing, and divide the hair.
2 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ìgbóguntì bá parí, sun ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́ta irun yìí níná láàrín ìlú. Mú ìdákan nínú mẹ́ta kí o fi idà bù ú káàkiri ìlú. Kí o sì tú ìdákan yòókù ká sínú afẹ́fẹ́. Nítorí pé pẹ̀lú idà ni èmi yóò máa lé wọn ká.
One third part shalt thou burn with fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed; and thou shalt take another third part, and smite [it] round about it with the sword; and the other third part shalt thou scatter to the wind: and I will draw out a sword after the same.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n mú díẹ̀ nínú irun yìí kí o sì ta á mọ́ etí aṣọ rẹ.
And take thence a few in number, and tie them up in the corners of thy garment.
4 Tún ju díẹ̀ nínú irun yìí sínú iná, kí o sun ún níná. Torí pé láti ibẹ̀ ni iná yóò ti jáde lọ sí gbogbo ilé Israẹli.
And from these again shalt thou take some, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: therefrom shall a fire go forth unto all the house of Israel.
5 “Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èyí ní Jerusalẹmu, tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ sí àárín àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú gbogbo tí o yí i ká.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, This is Jerusalem, which I had set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
6 Síbẹ̀ nínú ìwà búburú rẹ ó ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ si òfin àti ìlànà mi ju àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn ilẹ̀ tó yí i ká lọ. Ó ti kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀, o kò sì pa ìlànà mi mọ́.
But she rebelled against my ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against my statutes, more than the countries that are round about her; for my ordinances they have despised, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìgbọ́ràn ju àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí yín ká lọ, tí ẹ kò sì tẹ̀lé ìlànà mi tàbí kí o pa òfin mi mọ́. O kò tilẹ̀ túnṣe dáradára tó àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye have given yourselves up to evil more than the nations that are round about you, have not walked in my statutes, and have not executed my ordinances, and not even acted according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you:
8 “Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi gan an lòdì sí ọ, Jerusalẹmu, èmi yóò sì jẹ ọ́ ní yà lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I, also I am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee before the eyes of the nations.
9 Nítorí gbogbo ohun ìríra rẹ, èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí n kò tí ì ṣe rí láàrín rẹ àti èyí tí n kò ní í ṣe irú rẹ̀ mọ́.
And I will do in thee that which I have never done, and the like of which I will never do any more, because of all thy abominations.
10 Nítorí náà láàrín rẹ àwọn baba yóò máa jẹ ọmọ wọn, àwọn ọmọ náà yóò máa jẹ baba wọn. Èmi yóò jẹ ọ́ ní yà, èmi yóò sì tú àwọn tó bá ṣẹ́kù ká sínú ẹ̀fúùfù.
Therefore fathers shall devour their children in the midst of thee, and children shall devour their fathers: and I will execute judgments on thee, and I will scatter all thy remnant unto all the winds.
11 Nítorí náà, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, bí mo ṣe wà láààyè, nítorí pé ìwọ ti sọ ibi mímọ́ mi di àìmọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn àwòrán ẹ̀gbin àti àwọn ohun ìríra rẹ, èmi yóò mú ojúrere mi kúrò lára rẹ, èmi kò ní í da ọ sí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò wò ọ́ pẹ̀lú àánú mọ́.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, Surely, because thou hast made unclean my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thy abominations: therefore will I also diminish [thee]; and my eye shall not show pity, and I also will not spare.
12 Ìdámẹ́ta nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò kú nípa àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tàbí kí ìyàn run wọ́n: ìdámẹ́ta yóò ṣubú nípa idà lẹ́yìn odi rẹ, èmi yóò sì tú ìdámẹ́ta yòókù ká sínú ẹ̀fúùfù, èmi yóò sì máa fi idà lé wọn.
A third part of thee shall die through the pestilence, and come through famine to their end in the midst of thee; and another third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and the other third part will I scatter unto all the winds, and a sword will I draw out after them.
13 “Ìbínú mi yóò sì dúró, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìbínú gbígbóná mi yóò sì rọlẹ̀, èmi yóò sì ti gba ẹ̀san mi. Nígbà tí mo bá sì parí ìbínú mi lórí wọn, wọn ó mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìtara mi.
Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will satisfy myself: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have let out all my fury on them.
14 “Èmi yóò fi ọ́ ṣòfò, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ẹ̀gàn fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká, àti lójú àwọn tó ń kọjá.
Yea, I will render thee a ruin, and a disgrace among the nations that are round about thee, before the eyes of every one that passeth by.
15 O ó wá di ẹ̀gàn, ẹ̀sín àti ẹ̀kọ̀ àti ohun ẹ̀rù àti ìyanu fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká, nígbà tí mo bá fìyà jẹ ọ́ nínú ìbínú àti nínú ìbínú gbígbóná mi. Èmi Olúwa ni ó sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.
And she shall be a disgrace and a taunt, a warning and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I execute judgments on thee in anger and in fury and in furious chastisements, —I the Lord have spoken it, —
16 Nígbà tí èmi ó rán ọfà búburú ìyàn sí wọn, èyí tí yóò jẹ́ fún ìparun wọn. Èmí tí èmi yóò rán run yín. Èmí yóò sì sọ ìyàn di púpọ̀ fún yín. Èmí yóò sì ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá oúnjẹ yín.
When I send out among them the dreadful arrows of famine, which [ever] were the cause of destruction, which I will send out to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break unto you the staff of bread:
17 Èmi yóò rán ìyàn àti ẹranko búburú sí i yín, wọn yóò fi yín sílẹ̀ ni àìlọ́mọ. Àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn àti ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ yóò kọjá láàrín yín. Èmi yóò si mú idà wá sórí rẹ. Èmi Olúwa ló sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
So will I let loose over you famine and wild beasts, and they shall make thee childless; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and the sword will I bring over thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
