Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad heshid cun. Qorniinkan duudduuban cun, oo tag, oo waxaad la hadashaa reer binu Israa'iil. Sidaas daraaddeed afkaan kala qaaday oo isna qorniinkii duudduubnaa wuu i cunsiiyey. Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, calooshaada geli oo ka buuxi qorniinkan duudduuban oo aan ku siiyo. Markaasaan cunay, oo wuxuu afkayga ugu dhadhan macaanaa sidii malab oo kale.

Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, reer binu Israa'iil u tag, oo erayadayda kula hadal. Waayo, laguuma dirin dad hadal qalaad oo afkoodu adag yahay, laakiinse waxaa laguu diray reer binu Israa'iil. Laguumana dirin dadyow badan oo hadal qalaad oo afkoodu adag yahay, oo adaan erayadooda garan karin. Hubaal haddaan iyaga kuu diri lahaa, way maqli lahaayeen. Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil dooni maayaan inay ku maqlaan, maxaa yeelay, dooni maayaan inay aniga i maqlaan, waayo, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waa dad weji adag oo qalbi qallafsan. Bal eeg, wejigaaga waan ka sii adkeeyey wejigooda, oo foolkaagana waan ka sii adkeeyey foolkooda. Oo foolkaaga waxaan ka dhigay sidii dheemman dhagax ka sii adag oo kale. Ha ka cabsan iyaga, oo aragtidoodana ha ka baqin in kastoo ay reer caasiyoobay yihiin. 10 Oo weliba wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, erayadayda aan kugula hadli doono oo dhan qalbigaaga ku qaado oo dhegahaaga ku maqal. 11 Haddaba waxaad u tagtaa kuwa maxaabiista ah, oo dadkaaga ah, oo intaad la hadashid waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu idinku leeyahay, hadday maqlaan iyo hadday diidaanba. 12 Markaasaa ruuxu kor ii qaaday, oo waxaan gadaashayda ka maqlay cod guuxaya oo leh, Rabbiga ammaantiisu meesheeda barakay ku leedahay, 13 waxayna ahayd sanqadhii baalashii xayawaankii markay istaabtaabanayeen, iyo sanqadhii giraangirihii iyaga dhinac socday, oo sanqadh yaacideed ahayd. 14 Sidaasuu ruuxii kor iigu qaaday oo meel fog ii waday, oo anna waxaan ku tegey dhirif qadhaadh iyo naftaydoo kulul, oo gacantii Rabbigaa igu kor xoog badnayd. 15 Markaasaan Teel Aabiib maxaabiistii Webi Kebaar ag degganaa, iyo ilaa meeshii ay fadhiyeen ugu tegey, oo halkaasaan iyagii toddoba maalmood dhex joogay anigoo naxdin la fadhiya.

Israa'iil Oo Loo Digay

16 Oo markay toddoba maalmood dhammaadeen waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga isagoo leh, 17 Wiilka Aadamow, waardiye baan reer binu Israa'iil kaaga dhigay, haddaba bal erayga afkayga ka soo baxaya maqal, oo digniin xaggayga ka timid iyaga gaadhsii. 18 Markaan sharrowga ku idhaahdo, Hubaal waad dhiman doontaa, haddaadan isaga u digin, oo aadan sharrowga la hadlin si aad jidkiisa sharka ah uga digto inaad naftiisa badbaadiso aawadeed, ninkaas sharrowga ahu xumaantiisuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa, laakiinse dhiiggiisa gacantaadaan weyddiin doonaa. 19 Laakiinse haddaad sharrowga u digto, oo uusan isagu sharnimadiisa amase jidkiisa sharka ah ka soo noqon, markaas xumaantiisuu ku dhiman doonaa, adiguse naftaadii waad samatabbixisay. 20 Oo haddana haddii nin xaq ahu uu xaqnimadiisii ka noqdo oo uu xumaan sameeyo, intaan dhagax turunturo hor dhigo, isagu wuu dhiman doonaa. Uma aadan digin, oo saas darteed dembigiisuu ku dhiman doonaa, oo falimihiisii xaqa ahaa ee uu samayn jirayna lama soo xusuusan doono, laakiinse dhiiggiisa gacantaadaan weyddiin doonaa. 21 Habase ahaatee haddaad ninka xaqa ah u digtid, si uusan ka xaqa ahu u dembaabin oo uusan dembi u samayn, markaas hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, maxaa yeelay, wuu digniin qaatay, adiguna naftaadii waad samatabbixisay.

22 Oo gacantii Rabbiguna halkaasay igu kor saarnayd, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Kac oo bannaanka u bax halkaasaan kugula hadli doonaaye. 23 Markaasaan kacay oo bannaankii u baxay, oo bal eeg, waxaa halkaas jirtay ammaantii Rabbiga, taasoo u eg ammaantii aan Webi Kebaar agtiisa ku arkay, oo aniguna wejigaan u dhacay. 24 Markaasaa ruuxii i soo galay, oo cagaha igu taagay, wuuna ila hadlay isagoo leh, Tag oo gurigaaga isku xidh. 25 Laakiinse Wiilka Aadamow, bal ogow, xadhkaa lagugu xidhi doonaa oo adna waad ku xidhnaan doontaa, oo dadka dhexdiisana uma aad bixi doontid. 26 Oo carrabkaaga dhabxanaggaagaan ku dhejin doonaa, si aad carrablaawe u noqotid, oo aanad iyaga mid canaanta ugu noqon, waayo, iyagu waa reer caasiyoobay. 27 Laakiinse markaan kula hadlo, afkaagaan furi doonaa oo waxaad ku odhan doontaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu sidaasuu leeyahay. Kii wax maqlaa, ha maqlo, oo kii diidaana ha diido, waayo, iyagu waa reer caasiyoobay.

And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.” So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate(A) it, and it tasted as sweet as honey(B) in my mouth.

He then said to me: “Son of man, go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them.(C) You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language,(D) but to the people of Israel— not to many peoples of obscure speech and strange language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.(E) But the people of Israel are not willing to listen(F) to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for all the Israelites are hardened and obstinate.(G) But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.(H) I will make your forehead(I) like the hardest stone, harder than flint.(J) Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.(K)

10 And he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart(L) all the words I speak to you. 11 Go(M) now to your people in exile and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says,’(N) whether they listen or fail to listen.(O)

12 Then the Spirit lifted me up,(P) and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound as the glory of the Lord rose from the place where it was standing.[a] 13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures(Q) brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound.(R) 14 The Spirit(S) then lifted me up(T) and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the Lord(U) on me. 15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel Aviv near the Kebar River.(V) And there, where they were living, I sat among them for seven days(W)—deeply distressed.

Ezekiel’s Task as Watchman

16 At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me:(X) 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman(Y) for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.(Z) 18 When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,(AA)’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for[b] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.(AB) 19 But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn(AC) from their wickedness(AD) or from their evil ways, they will die(AE) for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.(AF)

20 “Again, when a righteous person turns(AG) from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block(AH) before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.(AI) 21 But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.(AJ)

22 The hand of the Lord(AK) was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up and go(AL) out to the plain,(AM) and there I will speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River,(AN) and I fell facedown.(AO)

24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me(AP) to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.(AQ) 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.(AR) 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof(AS) of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people.(AT) 27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(AU) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.(AV)
