Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man Speak unto the sons of thy people and thou shalt say unto them, A land—when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman;
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Yeroo ani biyya tokkotti goraadee fidutti, sabni biyya sanaa namoota isaa keessaa nama tokko filatee eegduu isa godhatee,
3 And he shall see the sword coming upon the land, —and shall blow with the horn and warn the people
eegduun sun goraadee biyyattiitti dhufaa jiru argee uummata akeekkachiisuuf malakata yeroo afuufutti,
4 Then as for him who really heard the sound of the horn and took not warning, The sword indeed hath come and taken him away, — His blood, upon his own head shall remain: —
yoo namni kam iyyuu sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhachuu didee goraadeen sun dhufee lubbuu isaa galaafate, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
5 The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, — Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.
Inni sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa waan hin fudhatiniif dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa. Inni utuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhatee jiraatee silaa of baasa ture.
6 But as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.
Garuu yoo eegduun sun goraadee dhufaa jiru argee namoota akeekkachiisuuf malakata afuufuu baatee goraadeen sun dhufee isaan keessaa lubbuu nama tokkoo galaafate, namichi sun sababii cubbuu isaatiif ajjeefama; eegduu sana garuu sababii dhiiga nama sanaatiif nan gaafadha.’
7 Thou therefore Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
“Yaa ilma namaa, ani mana Israaʼeliitiif eegduu si godheera; kanaafuu dubbii ani dubbadhu dhagaʼiitii akeekkachiisa na biraa baʼu isaaniif kenni.
8 When I say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.
Yeroo ani nama hamaa tokkoon, ‘Yaa namicha hamaa nana, ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhutti, yoo ati akka inni qalbii jijjiirratu akeekkachiisuu baatte namichi hamaan sun cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; dhiiga isaa garuu ani harka kee irraa nan barbaada.
9 But as for thyself When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way He, for his own iniquity shall die, But thou hast delivered thine own life,
Garuu yoo ati nama hamaa sana akka inni karaa isaa irraa deebiʼu akeekkachiiftee inni immoo deebiʼuu baate, inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; ati garuu lubbuu kee oolfatteerta.
10 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, —and for them, we are melting away How then can we live?
“Yaa ilma namaa, mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin akkana jettu: “Yakkii fi cubbuun keenya nutti ulfaateera; nuus sababii kanaaf nyaatamnee dhumne. Yoos akkamiin jiraachuu dandeenya ree?”’
11 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live, - Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel?
Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe, ani akka namoonni hamoon karaa isaanii irraa deebiʼanii jiraatan malee duʼa isaaniitti hin gammadu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Deebiʼaa! Karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebiʼaa! Yaa mana Israaʼel isin maaliif duutu?’
12 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people— The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness, - Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitiin akkana jedhi; ‘Qajeelummaan nama qajeelaa yommuu inni ajajamuu didutti isa hin baasu; hamminni nama hamaas yommuu inni hammina isaa irraa deebiʼutti isa hin balleessu. Namni qajeelaan yoo cubbuu hojjete sababii qajeelummaa isaa duraatiif lubbuudhaan hin jiraatu.’
13 When I say of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed—thereby, shall he die.
Yoo ani nama qajeelaa tokko akka inni dhugumaan jiraatu itti himee, inni garuu qajeelummaa isaa amanatee cubbuu hojjete, waan qajeelaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu hin yaadatamu; inni cubbuu hojjete sanaan ni duʼa.
14 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness:
Yoo ani nama cubbamaa tokkoon, ‘Ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhee inni garuu cubbuu isaa irraa deebiʼee waan sirrii fi waan qajeelaa hojjete jechuunis,
15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. He shall surely live he shall not die: —
inni yoo qabdii waan liqeesse tokkoof fudhate deebise, yoo waan hate deebise, yoo seera jireenya namaaf kennu duukaa buʼee hammina hojjechuu baate, inni dhugumaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, — Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live.
Cubbuu namichi sun hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isatti hin herregamu. Inni waan sirrii fi qajeelaa hojjeteeraatii, dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!
“Taʼus namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jedhu. Garuu karaan qajeelaa hin taʼin kanuma isaanii ti.
18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them;
Namni qajeelaan yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee hammina hojjete, inni hammina sanaan ni duʼa.
19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
Namni hamaan tokko immoo yoo hammina isaa irraa deebiʼee murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjete, inni waan kana hojjechuu isaatiin ni jiraata.
20 And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man—according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?
Taʼu illee yaa mana Israaʼel isin, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jettu. Ani garuu hunda keessanitti akkuma hojii keessaniitti nan mura.”
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!
Waggaa kudha lammaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaatti, namichi Yerusaalemii baqatee baʼe tokko gara koo dhufee, “Magaalattiin kufteerti!” jedhe.
22 Now the hand of Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coming of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, —so my mouth, was opened, and I was dumb no longer.
Galgala dhufaatii namichaatiin duraa sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; utuu namichi ganamaan gara koo hin dhufinis Waaqni afaan koo bane. Afaan koo banameeraatii ani lammata hin calʼisne.
23 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
24 Son of man These inhabitants of waste places on the soil of Israel are saying thus, One, was Abraham. Yet he inherited the land, - But, we, are many, To us, is the land given as an inheritance.
“Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni diigama biyya Israaʼel keessa jiru keessa jiraatan akkana jedhu; ‘Abrahaam namuma tokko ture; taʼus inni biyyattii dhaale. Nu garuu baayʼee dha; biyyattiinis dhugumaan akka nu dhaalluuf nuu kennamteerti.’
25 Wherefore say unto them Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh. -With the blood, ye do eat. And your eyes, ye do lift up unto your manufactured gods. And blood, ye do shed; And the land, shall ye inherit?
Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin foon utuma dhiigni keessa jiruu nyaattu; waaqota keessan tolfamoo abdattu; dhiiga namaas dhangalaaftu; yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?
26 Ye men have taken your stand by your sword. Ye women have wrought abomination, And every man—with the wife of his neighbour, have ye defiled yourselves; And the land, shall ye inherit?
Isin goraadee keessan abdattu; waan jibbisiisaa hojjettu; tokkoon tokkoon keessan niitii ollaa keessanii xureessitu. Yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?’
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured, - And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits: by pestilence, shall die;
“Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jiraataadhaatii, warri diigama keessatti hafan goraadeedhaan dhumu; warra baadiyyaa keessa jiran akka isaan nyaatamaniif bineensatti dabarsee nan kenna; warri daʼannoo fi holqa keessa jiraatan immoo dhaʼichaan ni dhumu.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength, - And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to pass through.
Ani biyyattii onsee duwwaa nan hambisa; humni isheen ittiin of jajjus ni dhuma; gaarran Israaʼelis akka namni tokko iyyuu irra hin qaxxaamurreef qullaa hafu.
29 So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, — When I make the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Yeroo ani sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaan hojjetan hundaatiif biyyattii onsee duwwaa hambisutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’
30 Thou therefore Son of man, the sons of thy people who are talking against thee Near the walls and in the entrances of the houses, are speaking one with another, every man with his brother saying. Come in we pray you and heat, what is the word that is coming forth from Yahweh;
“Waaʼee kee immoo yaa ilma namaa, namoonni biyya keetii keenyan manaa birattii fi balbala duratti waaʼee kee dubbachaa, ‘Kottaa dhaqnee ergaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufe dhageenyaa’ waliin jedhu.
31 That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do, — though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
Sabni koo akkuma yeroo kaaniitti gara kee dhufanii dubbii kee dhagaʼuudhaaf fuula kee dura tataaʼu; isaan garuu waan sana hojiidhaan hin argisiisan. Isaan afaan isaaniitiin jaalala guddaa dubbatu; garaan isaanii garuu buʼaa hin malle argachuuf gaggaba.
32 And lo! thou art to them— As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, —So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of them.
Dhugumaan ati isaaniif nama sagalee gaariidhaan sirba jaalalaa sirbee meeshaa sirbaa taphatu irra hin jirtuutii; isaan dubbii kee ni dhagaʼu malee hojiidhaan hin argisiisaniitii.
33 But when it cometh Lo! it is coming, Then shall they know that a prophet hath been in their midst.
“Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti, dhugumaan ni taʼaatii isaan gaafas akka raajiin gidduu isaanii ture ni beeku.”
