Jezekiel 6

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,

2 Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔw, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,

3 and you shall say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.

na ka se, ‘Mo Israel mmepɔw, muntie Otumfo Awurade asɛm. Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔw ne nkoko, abon ne aku: Merebɛtwe mo so afoa na masɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea.

4 And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.

Wobebubu mo afɔremuka ahorow no na wɔasɛe nnuhuam adum; na mekunkum mo nkurɔfo wɔ mo ahoni anim.

5 And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,

Mede Israelfo afunu begu wɔn ahoni anim na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔremuka ahorow ho.

6 and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.

Baabiara a mote no, nkurow no bɛda mpan na ne sorɔnsorɔmmea bɛsɛe, na ama mo afɔremuka ahorow no ada mpan na ayɛ amamfo, mo ahoni abubu na asɛe, mo nnuhuam adum abubu agu fam, na nea moayɛ nso ahwere mo.

7 And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Mo nkurɔfo bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mubehu sɛ mene Awurade.

8 When there are [some] of you escaping from the sword amongst the Gentiles, and when you are scattered in the countries;

“‘Nanso megyaw mo mu bi, efisɛ ebinom beguan afoa ano wɔ bere a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.

9 then they of you that escape amongst the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn [an oath] against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices; ) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.

Na afei wɔn a woguan no bɛkae me wɔ amanaman a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum kɔɔ mu no, sɛnea madi awerɛhow wɔ wɔn aguamammɔ koma a wɔde twee wɔn ho fii me nkyɛn, ne wɔn ani a wɔde nyaa akɔnnɔ bɔne maa wɔn ahoni no ho. Wɔn ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwini wɔ bɔne ne akyiwade a wɔayɛ no nti.

10 And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.

Wobehu sɛ mene Awurade na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.

11 Thus says the Lord; Clap with [your] hand, and stamp with [your] foot and say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.

“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mommɔ mo nsam na momfa mo nan mpempem fam na monteɛ mu se, “A!” esiane Israel fi amumɔyɛ ne akyiwade nyinaa nti, wobewuwu afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano.

12 He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish mine anger upon them.

Ɔyaredɔm bekum nea ɔwɔ akyirikyiri. Nea ɔbɛn no bɛtɔ afoa ano na nea obefi mu na waka no, ɔkɔm bekum no. Saa na mede mʼabufuwhyew no bɛyɛ wɔn.

13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under [every] shady tree, where they offered a sweet savour to all their idols.

Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, bere a wɔn nkurɔfo a watotɔ afunu deda wɔn ahoni ntam atwa wɔn afɔremuka ho ahyia, wɔ nkoko a ɛkorɔn nyinaa so, mmepɔw atifi nyinaa ne nnua a adennan ne odum frɔmfrɔm ase, mmeaemmeae a wɔde nnuhuam bɔ afɔre ma wɔn ahoni nyinaa no.

14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: [and] you shall know that I am the Lord.

Afei mɛteɛ me nsa wɔ wɔn so na mama asase no ada mpan afi nweatam no akosi Ribla, baabiara a wɔtete. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
