Ezekiel 32
1 On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Mfeɛ dumienu mu, bosome a ɛtɔ so dumienu no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Pharaoh king of Egypt and tell him: You think you're like a lion among the nations but in reality you're like a sea monster. You roll around in your rivers, stirring up the waters with your feet, making the water muddy.
“Onipa ba, to kwadwom fa Misraimhene Farao ho na ka kyerɛ no sɛ: “‘Wote sɛ gyata wɔ aman no mu: wote sɛ ɛpo mu aboa a ne ho yɛ hu wobubu afuni wɔ wo asutene mu, wode wo nan boro asutene no de hono nsuo no.
3 This is what the Lord God says: In the presence of many nations I'm going to spread my net over you, and they will pull you up in my net.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mede nipadɔm bɛba abɛto mʼasau agu wo so, na wɔbɛtwe wo afiri mʼasau mu.
4 I will drop you on the land; I will throw you down on the bare earth. I will make all the birds of prey come and land you; I will have all the wild animals eat you until they're satisfied.
Mɛto wo atwene asase no so na mahuri wo ato ɛserɛ so. Mɛma ewiem nnomaa nyinaa abɛsisi wo so na asase so mmoa nyinaa adi wo nam ɔherɛ so.
5 I will dump your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
Mɛhata wo nam wɔ mmepɔ no so na mede wo funu ahyɛ mmɔnhwa ma.
6 I will fill the land with your flowing blood, pouring it out on the mountains, filling the valleys.
Mede wo mogya a ɛretene no bɛfɔ asase no de akɔka mmepɔ no na wonam bɛhyɛ abɔn nketewa no ma.
7 When I put out the light of your life, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will use a cloud to cover the sun, and the moon will stop shining.
Sɛ metwa wo firi hɔ a, mɛkata ɔsoro ani na madundum wɔn nsoromma; mede omununkum bɛkata owia ani, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn.
8 I will darken all the bright lights in the heavens above you, and I will make your land go dark, declares the Lord God.
Ɔsoro nkanea a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa mɛma aduru sum wɔ wo so; mɛma esum aduru wʼasase, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
9 When I destroy you I will make many people frightened, even in countries you don't know anything about.
Mɛma nnipa bebree akoma atutu ɛberɛ a mede wo sɛeɛ aba aman no mu, nsase a wonnya nhunuiɛ mu.
10 Many will be shocked at what I do to you, and their kings will be horrified at what has happened to you, trembling when I wave my sword in front of them. On the day that you fall all of them will shake in fear for their lives.
Mɛma nnipa bebree ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo ho, wo enti, ehu bɛma wɔn ahene ho apopo ɛberɛ a merehim mʼakofena wɔ wɔn anim. Ɛda a wobɛhwe ase no wɔn mu biara ho bɛwoso berɛ nyinaa mu wɔ wɔn nkwa enti.
11 For this is what the Lord God says: The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you!
“‘Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Babiloniahene akofena bɛsɔre wo so.
12 I will allow your army to be defeated, your soldiers killed by the swords of the powerful enemy army from the cruelest of all nations. They will ruin of the glories of Egypt and destroy all your people.
Mɛma wo nipadɔm no atotɔ wɔ nnɔmmarima akofena ano, wɔ aman a wɔyɛ tutugyagu mu. Wɔbɛsɛe Misraim ahomasoɔ pasaa na ne nipadɔm no nyinaa bɛdi nkoguo.
13 I will slaughter all your livestock living beside the wide rivers. Nobody will be there to stir rivers up with their feet; no livestock hooves will make them muddy.
Mɛkunkum nʼanantwie nyinaa afiri nsuo bebree no ho na nnipa nan rentiatia mu bio na anantwie nan nso renhono no.
14 I will allow their waters to settle and I will make her rivers flow smoothly like oil, declares the Lord God.
Afei mɛma ne nsuo ani ate na mama ne asutene atene sɛ ngo,
15 When I turn Egypt into a wasteland, completely emptying it out, when I kill everyone who lives there, then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Sɛ mema Misraim da mpan na meyi biribiara firi asase no so, sɛ mekum wɔn a wɔte soɔ nyinaa a, afei na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
16 This is the funeral song that foreign women will sing. They will sing it in mourning over Egypt and all its many people, declares the Lord God.”
“Yei ne kwadwom a wɔbɛto ama no. Amanaman no mmammaa bɛto ama Misraim ne ne nipadɔm nyinaa, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
17 On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Afe a ɛtɔ so dumienu no no bosome ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
18 “Son of man, weep for all the many Egyptians. Send them along with the people of powerful nations down into the depths of the earth with those who go down into the grave.
“Onipa ba, twa adwo ma Misraim nipadɔm na ma ɔne amanaman akɛseɛ no mmammaa nsiane nkɔ asase ase nkɔka wɔn a wɔasiane kɔ amena mu no ho.
19 Do you think you're more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and take your place in the grave with the heathen!
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Wadom mo dodo sene wɔn a aka no anaa? Monsiane nkɔ na mo ne momonotofoɔ no nkɔda.’
20 They will lie among those killed by the sword. A sword is ready to kill all the many people of Egypt.
Wɔbɛka wɔn a wɔwuwuu wɔ akofena ano no ho. Wɔatwe akofena no, ma wɔntwe ɔno ne nipadɔm no ase nkɔ.
21 Powerful chiefs will speak from Sheol about Egypt and its allies: ‘They have come down here and lie with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.’ (Sheol h7585)
Akannifoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ damena mu bɛka wɔ Misraim ne ne mpamfoɔ ho sɛ, ‘Wɔasiane aba na wodeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔn a wɔwuwuu wɔ akofena ano no.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Assyria is there with all its people—it's surrounded by graves. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword.
“Asiria ne nʼasraadɔm nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔn a wakunkum wɔn no damena atwa ne ho ahyia, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano no.
23 Its graves are set in the deepest parts of the place of the dead, and the graves of all its people surround Assyria's grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword, these people who once terrorized others when they were alive.
Wɔn adamena no wɔ amena no ase tɔnn na nʼasraadɔm deda ne damena ho nyinaa. Wɔn a na wɔhunahuna afoforɔ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so no nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano.
24 Elam is there with all its people around its grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword. They went down into the grave, these heathen people who once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave.
“Elam wɔ hɔ, ne nipadɔm nyinaa atwa ne damena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔn a na wɔhunahuna afoforɔ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so nyinaa siane kɔɔ asase ase sɛ momonotofoɔ. Wɔde wɔn animguaseɛ kɔka wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no ho.
25 A resting place is made ready among those who have been killed for Elam and all its many people—their graves surround Elam's grave. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave. They are laid to rest among those who have been killed.
Wɔato mpa ama no wɔ atɔfoɔ no mu, na ne nipadɔm atwa ne damena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofoɔ a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Esiane sɛ wɔn ahunahuna trɛɛ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase soɔ no enti, wɔne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no nyinaa anim agu ase. Wɔadeda wɔn wɔ atɔfoɔ no mu.
26 Meshech and Tubal are there with all their many people, surrounded by all their graves. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive.
“Mesek ne Tubal wɔ hɔ a wɔn nipadɔm atwa wɔn adamena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofoɔ a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano ɛfiri sɛ wɔtrɛtrɛɛ wɔn ahunahuna mu wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
27 But they're not laid to rest with the fallen warriors of long ago who went down into Sheol with their weapons of war. Their swords were placed underneath their heads and their shields over their bones, although these powerful warriors once terrorized others when they were alive. (Sheol h7585)
Ɛnyɛ wɔ ne akofoɔ momonotofoɔ foforɔ a wɔatotɔ na ɛdeda hɔ anaa? Wɔn a wɔne wɔn akodeɛ siane kɔɔ damena mu na wɔn tiri deda wɔn akofena soɔ no. Wɔn amumuyɛ so asotwe daa wɔn nnompe so, mmom saa akofoɔ yi ahunahuna atrɛtrɛ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so. (Sheol h7585)
28 However, you will also be cut down and laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.
“Ao Farao, wo nso wɔbɛbubu wo mu na woakɔda momonotofoɔ mu, wo ne wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ akofena ano no.
29 Edom is there with all its kings and princes. Once they were powerful, but now they too are laid to rest with those killed by the sword. They lie with the heathen, with those who go down into the grave.
“Edom wɔ hɔ, nʼahemfo ne ne mmapɔmma nyinaa deda wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano mu, wɔn tumi nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔ ne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no.
30 All the leaders from the north, and all the people of Sidon are there too. They also are disgraced, going down with those who were killed, in spite of their formidable power. They are heathen, lying there with those killed by the sword, and have the disgrace of those who go down into the grave.
“Mmapɔmma a wɔfiri atifi fam nyinaa ne Sidonfoɔ nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔ ne atɔfoɔ kɔɔ wɔ animguaseɛ mu, wɔn tumi a wɔde hunahunaeɛ no nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda hɔ sɛ momonotofoɔ, wɔne wɔn a wɔkum wɔn wɔ akofena ano, na wɔne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no asoa wɔn animguaseɛ.
31 Pharaoh will see them and be pleased that he and all his many people are not the only ones killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
“Farao, ɔne nʼasraadɔm nyinaa bɛhunu wɔn na ne werɛ bɛkyekye wɔ ne nipadɔm a wɔkunkum wɔn wɔ akofena ano no ho, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
32 For I will terrorize those who are alive so that Pharaoh and all his many people will be laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.”
Mmom me na memaa Farao ne ne nipadɔm de ahunahuna trɛtrɛɛ ateasefoɔ asase so deɛ, nanso wɔbɛdeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔn a wɔde akofena kunkumm wɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
