< Ezekiel 6 >

1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá wí pé,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, dojúkọ àwọn òkè Israẹli; kí o sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ lòdì sí wọn
Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
3 wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin òkè Israẹli, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Olódùmarè. Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí sí ẹ̀yin òkè ńlá àti àwọn òkè kéékèèké, sí àwọn odò ṣíṣàn àti sí àfonífojì, èmi yóò mú idà wa sórí yín, èmí yóò sì pa ibi gíga yín run.
You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
4 Èmi yóò wó pẹpẹ yín lulẹ̀, èmi yóò sì fọ́ pẹpẹ tùràrí yín túútúú; èmi yóò sì pa àwọn ènìyàn yín síwájú àwọn òrìṣà wọn.
And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
5 Èmi yóò tẹ́ òkú àwọn ará Israẹli síwájú òrìṣà wọn, èmi yóò sì fọ́n egungun wọn yí pẹpẹ wọn ká.
And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
6 Gbogbo ibi tí ẹ ń gbé àti àwọn ibi gíga yín ni yóò di píparun, gbogbo pẹpẹ yín ni yóò di ahoro, àwọn òrìṣà yín yóò di fífọ́ túútúú, àwọn pẹpẹ tùràrí yín ni a ó gé lulẹ̀, gbogbo iṣẹ́ yín yóò parẹ́.
In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
7 Àwọn ènìyàn yín yóò ṣubú láàrín yín, ẹ ó sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.
And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
8 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò dá àwọn kan sí nítorí pé díẹ̀ nínú yín ni yóò bọ́ lọ́wọ́ idà, nígbà tí a bá fọ́n yín ká sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ àti orílẹ̀-èdè.
But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
9 Àwọn ti ó bọ́ nínú yin yóò sì rántí mi láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè níbi tí wọn yóò dìwọ́n ní ìgbèkùn lọ, nítorí wọ́n yóò máa rántí mi bí wọ́n ti bà mí lọ́kàn jẹ́ nípa àgbèrè wọn, tí ó yà wọ́n kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi àti nípa ojú wọn tí ó ṣàfẹ́rí àwọn òrìṣà. Wọn yóò sì ṣú ara wọn nítorí ìwà ibi tí wọ́n ti hù nípa gbogbo ìríra wọn.
And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
10 Wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa; àti pé kì í ṣe lásán ni mo ń lérí pé èmi yóò mú ìdààmú bá wọn.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
11 “‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, Pàtẹ́wọ́ kí o tún fẹsẹ̀ janlẹ̀, kí o wá kígbe síta pé, “Ó ṣe!” Ilé Israẹli yóò ṣubú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn nítorí gbogbo ìwà ìríra búburú tí wọ́n hù. Wọn yóò ṣubú nípa idà àti ìyàn.
This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
12 Ẹni tó wà lókèèrè yóò kú pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, àti ẹni tó wà nítòsí yóò ṣubú pẹ̀lú idà, ìyàn ni yóò pa ẹni tó bá ṣẹ́kù sílẹ̀. Báyìí ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ìbínú gbígbóná mi wá sórí wọn.
He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
13 Wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí òkú àwọn ènìyàn wọn bá wà níbẹ̀ láàrín òrìṣà wọn yí pẹpẹ wọn ká, lórí àwọn òkè gíga gbogbo, àti lórí góńgó òkè àti lábẹ́ igi tútù àti lábẹ́ igi óákù, níbi tí wọ́n ti ń fi tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn rú ẹbọ sí gbogbo òrìṣà wọn.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
14 Èmi yóò na ọwọ́ mi jáde sí wọn láti mú kí ilẹ̀ náà ṣòfò, kí ó sì dahoro dé aṣálẹ̀ ìhà Dibila—ní gbogbo ibùgbé wọn. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
