Ezekiel 2
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɔre gyina hɔ na me ne wo nkasa.”
2 And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.
Ɔrekasa no, Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu maa me so gyinaa hɔ, na metee se ɔrekasa kyerɛ me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very 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 these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among 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, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious 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 unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
Wɔyɛ atuatewfo ankasa nanso sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo, ɛsɛ sɛ woka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
8 And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that 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 was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
Afei mehwɛe, na mihuu nsa bi a ateɛ wɔ me so, na mu na nhoma mmobɔwee bi wɔ.
10 And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ɔtrɛw mu wɔ mʼanim. Nʼafanu no mu, na wɔakyerɛw kwadwom, awerɛhowdi ne nnome nsɛm.
