Ezekiel 35
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it:
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔw Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no,
3 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
na ka se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔw Seir, na mɛteɛ me basa atia wo na mɛma wo ada mpan.
4 I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Mɛdan wo nkurow ama ayɛ mmubui na wobɛda mpan. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
5 Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity.
“‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na wuyii Israelfo maa afoa wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, bere a wɔn asotwe duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no
6 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
nti, sɛ mete ase yi de, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, mede wo bɛma mogyahwiegu na ebedi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwiegu no nti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
7 And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth.
Mɛma bepɔw Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wodi so akɔneaba no afi hɔ.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword.
Mede atɔfo bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔw so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano bɛtotɔ ase wɔ wo nkoko so, aku mu ne wo subon mu.
9 I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.
Mɛma woada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkurow so. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
10 Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there.
“‘Woaka se, “Saa aman abien ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea, na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ bere a me Awurade mete hɔ;
11 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee.
enti sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, me ne wo bedi no sɛnea abufuw ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotan wɔn no mu no te, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, bere a mebu wo atɛn.
12 And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are desolate, they are given to us to consume.
Afei wubehu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiaabu nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔw no. Wokae se, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadan ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
13 And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them.
Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na metee.
14 Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.
Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Bere a wiase nyinaa redi ahurusi no, mɛma wo ada mpan.
15 As thou best rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Sɛnea wudii ahurusi bere a Israelfi agyapade daa mpan no, saa ɔkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔw Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
