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.

“Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].

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.

When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.

3 Ṣùgbọ́n mú díẹ̀ nínú irun yìí kí o sì ta á mọ́ etí aṣọ rẹ.

Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.

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.

Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout 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.

This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.

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 the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’

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, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around 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, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.

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.

Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.

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.

As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’

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, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].

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.

One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.

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.

Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].

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.

I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.

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.

They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said 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 cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.

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.”

I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
