< Ezekiel 39 >

1 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Gog na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya. Gog, Mesek ne Tubal obirɛmpɔn.
2 I will send you in a different direction, drag you along, bring you from the distant places of the north, and send you to attack the mountains of Israel.
Mekyinkyim wo na matwe wʼase. Mede wo befi atifi fam nohɔ tɔnn na mede aba Israel mmepɔw so.
3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand and make you drop the arrows from your right hand.
Afei, mɛbɔ wo bɛmma afi wo nsa benkum mu na mama wʼagyan afi wo nsa nifa mu agu fam.
4 You will be killed on the mountains of Israel, you and your whole army and armies of your allies. I will provide you as food to all kinds of flesh-eating birds and animals.
Wo ne wʼasraafo nyinaa ne aman a wɔka wo ho no bɛtotɔ wɔ Israel mmepɔw so. Mede wo bɛma nnomaa ahorow a wɔpɛ nea aporɔw ne wuram mmoa sɛ wɔn aduan.
5 You will fall and die out in the open, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
Mobɛtotɔ wɔ mfuw so, efisɛ makasa, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
6 I will set Magog on fire, as well as the coastlands where people think it's safe to live, and then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Mɛtɔ ogya agu Magog so ne wɔn a wɔtete hɔ asomdwoe mu wɔ mpoano nsase so no na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
7 In this way I will make my reputation for holiness known among my people Israel and won't allow it to be ruined anymore. Then the nations will acknowledge that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
“‘Mɛma me nkurɔfo Israelfo ahu me din kronkron wɔ wɔn mu na meremma ho kwan ma wonngu me din kronkron no ho fi na aman no behu sɛ me Awurade mene Ɔkronkronni no wɔ Israel.
8 Yes, it's coming! It will definitely happen, declares the Lord God. This is the day that I have spoken about.
Ɛreba! na ampa ara ebesi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni. Da a maka ho asɛm no ni.
9 Then those living in the towns of Israel will go out to light fires and burn the weapons—the large and small shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. They will use the weapons to make fires for seven years.
“‘Afei wɔn a wɔtete Israel nkurow so befi adi na wɔde akode no bɛsɔ gya, akokyɛm nketewa ne akɛse, bɛmma ne agyan, nkontimmaa ne mpeaw. Wɔde bɛyɛ nnyina asɔ gya mfe ason.
10 They won't need to go and gather firewood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, because they'll use the weapons to make fires. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them, declares the Lord God.
Ɛrenhia sɛ wɔbɛkɔ anyan wɔ mfuw so anaasɛ wɔbɛpɛ bi wɔ kwae mu, efisɛ wɔde akode no bɛsɔ gya. Na wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe wɔn nneɛma no nneɛma na wɔafom wɔn a wɔfom wɔn nneɛma no nso nneɛma, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
11 At that time I will give Gog a place to be buried in Israel, the Travelers' Valley, east of the Sea. People won't be able to travel through because all his army will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Gog's Army.
“‘Saa da no, mɛyɛ amusiei wɔ Israel ama Gog, wɔ obon a ɛda baabi a wɔn a wotu kwan kɔ apuei fam wɔ po no ho no fa no. Ebesiw akwantufo kwan efisɛ wobesie Gog ne ne dɔm no wɔ hɔ. Ɛno nti wɔbɛfrɛ hɔ se Hamon Gog bon.
12 It will take the people of Israel seven months to bury them in order to make the country clean.
“‘Na Israelfi de asram ason besie wɔn de adwira asase no.
13 Everyone in the country will be involved in burying them, and this will give them a good reputation when I reveal my glory, declares the Lord God.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so besie wɔn na da a wɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam no bɛyɛ nkaeda ama wɔn, Otumfo Awurade na ose.
14 Men will be chosen to go repeatedly through the country to make it clean it by burying the bodies of the invaders that are still left lying the ground. They will start doing this at the end of the seven months.
Wɔbɛkɔ so afa nnipa ama wɔatew asase no ho. Ebinom bɛfa asase no so nyinaa, na ebinom nso asie wɔn a wɔda so gugu asase no so no. “‘Asram ason akyi no wɔbɛhwehwɛ asase no so yiye.
15 As they search the country, if they find a human bone they will place a marker next to it so that those in charge of burials can have it buried in the Valley of Gog's Army.
Bere a wɔrekyinkyin asase no so no, sɛ wɔn mu bi hu onipa dompe a, ɔbɛhyɛ hɔ agyirae akosi sɛ asieifo bɛfa akosie wɔ Hamon Gog bon no mu.
16 Even the town there will be named Hamonah. In this way they will make the country clean.
(Kurow bi bɛba hɔ a ne din de Hamona). Na sɛɛ na wobedwira asase no.’
17 Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: Call out to every kind of flesh-eating bird and wild animal: Come from everywhere around and gather for the sacrifice I'm going to prepare for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel where you'll have flesh to eat and blood to drink.
“Onipa ba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Frɛ nnomaa ahorow ne wuram mmoadoma nyinaa na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano mfi mmeaemmeae mmra afɔrebɔ a meresiesie ama mo no ase, afɔrebɔ kɛse wɔ Israel mmepɔw so. Hɔ na mubedi nam na moanom mogya.
18 You will eat the flesh of the powerful and drink the blood of the world's leaders just as if they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals that come from Bashan.
Mobɛwe dɔmmarima nam wɔ hɔ na moanom asase so mmapɔmma mogya te sɛ nea wɔyɛ adwennini ne nguantenmma, mpapo ne anantwinini a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Basan nyɛmmoa a wɔadodɔ srade.
19 You will eat fat until you are totally full and drink blood until you are drunk at the sacrifice I'm going to prepare.
Afɔre a meresiesie ama mo no, mubedi srade akosi sɛ mobɛyɛ pintinn na moanom mogya akosi sɛ mobɛbobow.
20 You will eat at my table until you're full, consuming horses and riders, powerful men and all kinds of warriors, declares the Lord God.
Mobɛwe apɔnkɔ ne sotefo, dɔmmarima ne asraafo ahorow nyinaa nam amee wɔ me pon so,’ Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
21 I will reveal my glory to the other nations, and all of them will see the punishment I hand out to them.
“Mɛda mʼanuonyam adi wɔ amanaman no mu na wɔn nyinaa behu asotwe ne nsa a mede ato wɔn so no.
22 From that time on the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.
Efi saa da no rekɔ, Israelfi behu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no.
23 The nations will realize that the people of Israel were taken prisoner because of their sins, because they were unfaithful to me. So I gave up on them and handed them over to their enemies, so that they were all killed by the sword.
Na amanaman no behu sɛ Israelfo kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔn bɔne nti, efisɛ wɔanni me nokware. Ɛno nti mede mʼanim hintaw wɔn, na mede wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfo nsa na wɔn nyinaa totɔɔ wɔ afoa ano.
24 I dealt with them because of their uncleanness and sins, and I gave up on them.
Mene wɔn dii no sɛnea wɔn ho fi ne wɔn mfomso te, mede mʼanim hintaw wɔn.
25 So this is what the Lord God says: Now I will bring back the descendants of Jacob from exile and I will show mercy to all the people of Israel, and I will demonstrate my reputation for holiness.
“Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede Yakob befi nkoasom mu aba na manya ahummɔbɔ ama Israelfo nyinaa, na mɛtwe me din kronkron no ho ninkunu.
26 They will forget their shameful actions and all the ways they were unfaithful to me once they live in safety in their country, with no one to threaten them.
Wɔn werɛ befi wɔn animguase ne nokware a wɔanni me bere a na wɔte hɔ asomdwoe mu wɔ wɔn asase so a obiara nhunahuna wɔn no.
27 When I bring them home from the nations, gathering them from the countries of their enemies, I will reveal my holiness among as many nations watch.
Sɛ mede wɔn fi amanaman no so san ba na meboaboa wɔn ano fi wɔn atamfo nsase so a, mɛfa wɔn so ada me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ amanaman no nyinaa ani so.
28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, when I bring them home to their own country again, not leaving any of them behind.
Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no, efisɛ ɛwɔ mu sɛ mede wɔn kɔɔ nnommum mu wɔ amanaman no mu de, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so a merennyaw wɔn mu biara wɔ akyi.
29 I won't give up on them anymore, for I will fill the people of Israel with my Spirit, declares the Lord God.”
Meremfa mʼanim nhintaw wɔn bio, efisɛ mehwie me Honhom agu Israelfi so, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
