Jezekiel 2
1 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɔre gyina hɔ na me ne wo nkasa.”
2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
Ɔrekasa no, Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu maa me so gyinaa hɔ, na metee se ɔrekasa kyerɛ me.
3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
Ɔkae se, “Onipa ba, meresoma wo akɔ Israelfo mu, atuatew man a wayɛ dɔm atia me; wɔne wɔn agyanom ayɛ dɔm atia me abesi nnɛ.
4 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.
Nnipa a meresoma wo wɔn nkyɛn no yɛ nnipa a wɔasen wɔn kɔn na wɔn aso awu. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se.’
5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
Na sɛ wotie anaa wɔantie a, esiane sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo nti, wobehu ampa ara sɛ odiyifo bi aba wɔn mu.
6 And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
Na wo, onipa ba, nsuro wɔn anaasɛ wɔn nsɛm. Nsuro, ɛwɔ mu sɛ nsasono ne nsɔe atwa wo ho ahyia na wote nkekantwɛre mu de, nanso nsuro nea wɔka, na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
Wɔyɛ atuatewfo ankasa nanso sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo, ɛsɛ sɛ woka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
8 And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
Nanso wo onipa ba, tie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no. Ntew atua te sɛ saa atuatewfo no; bue wʼanom na di nea mede ma wo no.”
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
Afei mehwɛe, na mihuu nsa bi a ateɛ wɔ me so, na mu na nhoma mmobɔwee bi wɔ.
10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
Ɔtrɛw mu wɔ mʼanim. Nʼafanu no mu, na wɔakyerɛw kwadwom, awerɛhowdi ne nnome nsɛm.
