Ezekiel 35
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 “Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔ Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
3 Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔ Seir, na mɛtene me basa atia wo, na mɛma woada mpan.
4 I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Mɛdane wo nkuro ama ayɛ mmubuiɛ na wobɛda mpan. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
5 Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
“‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na woyii Israelfoɔ maa akofena wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, ɛberɛ a wɔn asotwe duruu ne mpɔnpɔnsoɔ no
6 So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi deɛ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, mede wo bɛma mogyahwieguo na ɛbɛdi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwieguo no enti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
Mɛma bepɔ Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wɔdi so akɔneaba no afiri hɔ.
8 I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
Mede atɔfoɔ bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔ so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ akofena ano bɛhwehwe ase wɔ wo nkokoɔ so, mmɔnhwa mu ne wo subɔnhwa mu.
9 I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Mɛma wada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkuro so. Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
10 Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
“‘Woaka sɛ, “Saa aman mmienu ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ ɛberɛ a me Awurade mete hɔ,
11 then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, me ne wo bɛdi no sɛdeɛ abufuo ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotanee wɔn no mu no teɛ, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, ɛberɛ a mɛbu wo atɛn.
12 You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiabuo nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔ. Wokaa sɛ, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadane ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
13 You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na meteeɛ.
14 This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛberɛ a ewiase nyinaa redi ahurisie no, mɛma woada mpan.
15 Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
Sɛdeɛ wodii ahurisie ɛberɛ a Israel efie agyapadeɛ daa mpan no, saa ɛkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔ Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
