Ezekiel 7

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

Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,

2 And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is come, the end is come upon the four quarters of the land.

“Ame vi, aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Israel ƒe anyigba: “‘Nuwuwu la! Nuwuwu la ɖo eɖo xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi!

3 Now is an end come upon thee, and I will send my wrath upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways: and I will set all thy abominations against thee.

Nuwuwu la va mia dzi azɔ, eye mana nye dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi katã ɖe miaƒe ŋunyɔnuwɔnawo ta.

4 And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi loo alo ana miakpɔ ɖeɖe o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme kple ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta kokoko. “‘Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

5 Thus saith the Lord God: One affliction, behold an affliction is come.

“Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, “‘Dzɔgbevɔ̃e! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si tɔgbi ƒe nya womese kpɔ o la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo.

6 An end is come, the end is come, it hath awaked against thee: behold it is come.

Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Efɔ eɖokui ɖe ŋutiwò. Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo!

7 Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains.

Tsɔtsrɔ̃ va mia dzi mi anyigbadzinɔlawo dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de, ŋkeke la tu aƒe. Nuxaxa le toawo dzi, dzidzɔ aɖeke meli o.

8 Now very shortly I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I will accomplish my anger in thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy crimes.

Esusɔ vie matrɔ nye dziku akɔ ɖe mia dzi, eye magblẽ nye dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanuwo katã ta.

9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I shew mercy: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike.

Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi alo aɖe mi o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu kple ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta. “‘Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowae tu nu kpli mi.

10 Behold the day, behold it is come: destruction is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

“‘Kpɔ ɖa, ŋkeke la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e do, ameƒoti do lotoo, eye dada ƒo se.

11 Iniquity is risen up into a rod of impiety: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their people, nor of the noise of them: and there shall be no rest among them.

Ŋutasesẽ tsi zu ameƒoti hena tohehe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Womagblẽ ame aɖeke ɖi o; womagblẽ ameha ma me nɔla aɖeke, kesinɔnu aɖeke alo nu xɔasi aɖeke ɖi o.

12 The time is come, the day is at hand: let not the buyer rejoice: nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the people thereof.

Ɣeyiɣi de, ŋkeke la va ɖo. Nudzrala megatso aseye, eye nuƒlela megafa konyi o, elabena dɔmedzoe dze ɖe ameha la katã dzi.

13 For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.

Anyigbadzrala magbugbɔ eƒe anyigba si wòdzra la axɔ zi ale si wo ame eve la le agbe o, elabena womatrɔ ŋutega si wokpɔ tso ameha blibo la ŋu o. Le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã matsi agbe o.

14 Blow the trumpet, let all be made ready, yet there is none to go to the battle: for my wrath shall be upon all the people thereof.

“‘Togbɔ be woaku kpẽ, eye woawɔ nu sia nu wòasɔ gbe gɔ̃ hã la, ame aɖeke mayi aʋa o, elabena nye dɔmedzoe bi ɖe ameha la kã.

15 The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine.

Yi le gota, eye dɔvɔ̃ kple dɔwuame le aƒe me. Yi awu ame siwo le gbedzi, eye ame siwo le du me la, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ atsrɔ̃ wo.

16 And such of them as shall flee shall escape: and they shall be in the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them trembling, every one for his iniquity.

Ame siwo katã atsi agbe, eye woasi la, woayi toawo dzi, anɔ konyi fam abe ahɔnɛ siwo le baliwo me ene, ɖe sia ɖe ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

17 All hands shall be made feeble, and all knees shall run with water.

Alɔ ɖe sia ɖe ado agblɔ, eye klo ɖe sia ɖe agbɔdzɔ abe tsi ene.

18 And they shall gird themselves with haircloth, and fear shall cover them, and shame shall be upon every face, and baldness upon all their heads.

Woatsyɔ konyifavɔ, eye woado ŋɔdzi abe awu ene, ŋukpe anɔ mo na wo, eye woalũ ta na wo.

19 Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a dunghill. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul, and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

“‘Woatsɔ woƒe klosalo aƒu gbe ɖe ablɔwo dzi, eye woƒe sika azu nu makɔmakɔ. Woƒe klosalo kple sika mate ŋu aɖe wo le Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoedogbe la o. Womatsɔe atsi woƒe dɔwuame nu o, eye womatsɔe aɖi ƒoe na wo o, elabena ena wodze nu vɔ̃ me.

20 And they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I have made it an uncleanness to them.

Wodana ɖe woƒe lekewɔnu dzeaniwo dzi, eye wotsɔ wo wɔ woƒe legba nyɔŋuwo kple aklamakpakpɛ vlowo. Eya ta matrɔ nu siawo woazu nu makɔmakɔwo na wo.

21 And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it.

Mana wo katã nazu afunyinu na amedzrowo kple nuhaha na ŋutaselã siwo le anyigba dzi, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo.

22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Matrɔ mo ɖe adzɔge tso wo gbɔ, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye teƒe vevi la. Adzodalawo age ɖe eme, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ.

23 Make a shutting up: for the land is full of the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.

“‘Miwɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖi, elabena ʋukɔkɔɖi bɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye ŋutasesẽ yɔ dua me.

24 And I will bring the worse of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they shall possess their sanctuary.

Makplɔ dukɔ vɔ̃ɖitɔwo vɛ be woava xɔ woƒe aƒewo, matsi ŋusẽtɔwo ƒe dada nu, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na woƒe Kɔkɔeƒewo.

25 When distress cometh upon them, they will seek for peace and there shall be none.

Ne ŋɔdzi do la, woadi ŋutifafa, gake manɔ anyi o.

26 Trouble shall come upon trouble, and rumour upon rumour, and they shall seek a vision of the prophet, and the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

Dzɔgbevɔ̃e akplɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖo, eye ŋɔdzinya adze ŋɔdzinya yome. Ana woadze agbagba be yewoaxɔ ɖeɖefia tso nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ, nunɔlawo ƒe sewo fiafia kple ametsitsiwo ƒe nufiame maganɔ anyi o.

27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with sorrow, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and will judge them according to their judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Fia la afa konyi, dzi aɖe le fiavi la ƒo, eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo ƒe asiwo adzo nyanyanya. Matu nu kpli wo le woƒe nɔnɔme nu, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe gɔmesese nu. “‘Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
