< Ezekiel 35 >
1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔ Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
3 and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔ Seir, na mɛtene me basa atia wo, na mɛma woada mpan.
4 I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Mɛdane wo nkuro ama ayɛ mmubuiɛ na wobɛda mpan. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
5 “‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
“‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na woyii Israelfoɔ maa akofena wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, ɛberɛ a wɔn asotwe duruu ne mpɔnpɔnsoɔ no
6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi deɛ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, mede wo bɛma mogyahwieguo na ɛbɛdi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwieguo no enti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
7 Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
Mɛma bepɔ Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wɔdi so akɔneaba no afiri hɔ.
8 I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
Mede atɔfoɔ bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔ so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ akofena ano bɛhwehwe ase wɔ wo nkokoɔ so, mmɔnhwa mu ne wo subɔnhwa mu.
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Mɛma wada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkuro so. Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
10 “‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
“‘Woaka sɛ, “Saa aman mmienu ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ ɛberɛ a me Awurade mete hɔ,
11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, me ne wo bɛdi no sɛdeɛ abufuo ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotanee wɔn no mu no teɛ, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, ɛberɛ a mɛbu wo atɛn.
12 You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiabuo nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔ. Wokaa sɛ, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadane ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na meteeɛ.
14 The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛberɛ a ewiase nyinaa redi ahurisie no, mɛma woada mpan.
15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Sɛdeɛ wodii ahurisie ɛberɛ a Israel efie agyapadeɛ daa mpan no, saa ɛkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔ Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
