Ezekiel 25

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

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:

2 “Son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon, and you shall prophesy about them.

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Amonfoɔ so na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn.

3 And you shall say to the sons of Ammon: Listen to the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have said, ‘Well, well!’ over my sanctuary, when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel, when it was desolated, and over the house of Judah, when they were led into captivity,

Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ wokaa “Ahaa” guu me kronkronbea so ɛberɛ a wɔguu ho fi ne Israel asase ɛberɛ a ɛdaa mpan, ne Yudafoɔ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔɔ nnommumfa mu

4 therefore, I will deliver you to the sons of the East, as an inheritance. And they will arrange their fences within you, and they will place their tents within you. They will eat your crops, and they will drink your milk.

enti, mede mo rebɛma nnipa a wɔfiri Apueeɛ fam na wɔde mo ayɛ wɔn dea. Wɔbɛkyekyere wɔn nsraban, asisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ mo mu; wɔbɛdi mo nnuaba na wɔanom mo nufosuo.

5 And I will make Rabbah into the habitation of camels, and the sons of Ammon into the resting place of cattle. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

Mɛdane Raba ayɛ no yoma adidibea na Amon ayɛ baabi a nnwan gye wɔn ahome. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.

6 For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stomped your foot, and have rejoiced with all your heart against the land of Israel,

Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade sɛe: Esiane sɛ moabɔ mo nsam de mo nan apempem hɔ, na mo de akoma mu bɔne nyinaa adi ahurisie atia Israel asase enti,

7 therefore, behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will deliver you as a spoil of the Gentiles. And I will destroy you from the peoples, and I will perish you from the lands, and I will crush you. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

mɛtene me nsa atia mo na moayɛ afodeɛ ama amanaman no. Mɛtwa mo afiri amanaman no mu na matɔre mo ase wɔ nsase no mu. Mɛsɛe mo na mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

8 Thus says the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the Gentiles!’

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Moab ne Seir kaa sɛ, “Monhwɛ, Yuda efie ayɛ sɛ amanaman a aka no”

9 therefore, behold, I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and from his borders, the famous cities of the land of Beth-Jesimoth, and Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

enti, mɛbue Moab nkyɛn mu, afiri nkuro a ɛdeda nʼahyeɛ so, Bet-Yesimot, Baal-Meon ne Kiriataim, a ɛyɛ asase no animuonyam.

10 with the sons of Ammon, to the sons of the East, and I will give it to them as an inheritance, so that there may no longer be a remembrance of the sons of Ammon among the Gentiles.

Na mede Moab bɛka Amonfoɔ ho ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Apueeɛ fam de ayɛ wɔn dea, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenkae Amonfoɔ wɔ amanaman no mu;

11 And I will execute judgments in Moab. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

na mɛtwe Moab aso. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

12 Thus says the Lord God: Because Idumea has taken vengeance, so as to vindicate herself against the sons of Judah, and has sinned grievously, and has sought revenge against them,

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Edom tɔɔ werɛ wɔ Yuda efie so na ɔnam so dii fɔ no enti,

13 therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will extend my hand over Idumea, and I will take from it both man and beast, and I will make it desolate from the south. And those who are in Dedan will fall by the sword.

deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: Mɛtene me nsa atia Edom na makum ne mmarima ne ne mmoa. Mɛma asase a ɛda Teman kɔsi Dedan ada mpan, na wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano.

14 And I will issue my vengeance upon Idumea, by the hand of my people, Israel. And they shall act in Idumea in accord with my wrath and my fury. And they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord God.

Me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ bɛyɛ nsa a mɛfa so atɔ Edom so wereɛ na wɔ ne no bɛdi no sɛdeɛ mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ teɛ; wɔbɛhunu mʼaweretɔ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”

15 Thus says the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their soul, destroying, and fulfilling ancient hostilities,

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Filistifoɔ tɔɔ awere, na wɔde akoma mu nsusuiɛ bɔne na ɛyɛɛ saa, na wɔde ɔtane a ɛfiri tete sɛee Yuda enti,

16 because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will extend my hand over the Philistines, and I will destroy those who destroy, and I will perish the remnant of the maritime regions.

sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: Merebɛtene me nsa atia Filistifoɔ, na matwa Keretifoɔ no agu na masɛe wɔn a wɔaka wɔ mpoano hɔ no.

17 And I will execute great vengeance against them, reproving them in fury. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will send my vengeance upon them.”

Mɛtɔ wɔn so were a ɛso, na matwe wɔn aso wɔ mʼabufuhyeɛ mu. Na sɛ metɔ wɔn so were a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
