< 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 sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Gog, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn.
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.
Mɛkyinkyim wo na matwe wʼase. Mede wo bɛfiri atifi fam nohoa tɔnn na mede aba Israel mmepɔ 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 tadua afiri wo nsa benkum mu na mama wʼagyan afiri 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 wʼakodɔm nyinaa ne aman a wɔka wo ho bɛtotɔ wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Mede wo bɛma nnomaa ahodoɔ a wɔpɛ deɛ aporɔ ne wiram mmoa sɛ wɔn aduane.
5 You will fall and die out in the open, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
Mobɛtotɔ wɔ mfuo so, ɛfiri sɛ makasa, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
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 asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ mpoano nsase so no na wɔbɛhunu 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 nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ahunu me din kronkron wɔ wɔn mu na meremma ho ɛkwan mma wɔnngu me din kronkron ho fi, na aman no bɛhunu 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 ɛbɛsi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Ɛda a maka ho asɛm no nie.
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 nkuro soɔ bɛfiri adi na wɔde akodeɛ no bɛsɔ ogya, akokyɛm nketewa ne akɛseɛ, tadua ne agyan, mporibaa ne mpea. Wɔde bɛyɛ anyina asɔ ogya mfeɛ nson.
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 anyina wɔ mfuo no so anaasɛ wɔbɛpɛ bi wɔ kwaeɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde akodeɛ no bɛsɔ ogya. Na wɔbɛfom wɔn a wɔfom wɔn nneɛma no nneɛma, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
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 ɛda no, mɛyɛ amusieeɛ wɔ Israel ama Gog, wɔ bɔnhwa a ɛda baabi a wɔn a wɔtu ɛkwan kɔ apueeɛ fam wɔ ɛpo no ho fa. Ɛbɛsi akwantufoɔ ɛkwan ɛfiri sɛ Gog ne ne nipadɔm no, wɔbɛsie wɔn wɔ hɔ. Ɛno enti wɔbɛfrɛ hɔ sɛ Hamon Gog bɔnhwa.
12 It will take the people of Israel seven months to bury them in order to make the country clean.
“‘Na Israel efie de abosome nson bɛsie 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 bɛsie wɔn, na ɛda a wɔbɛhyɛ me animuonyam no bɛyɛ nkaeɛda ama wɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ biara, wɔbɛfa mmarima daa ama wɔaprapra asase no so. Ebinom bɛfa asase no so nyinaa, na ebinom nso asie wɔn a wɔda so gugu asase no so. “‘Abosome nson akyi no, wɔbɛfiri aseɛ ahwehwɛ asase no so.
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.
Ɛberɛ a wɔrekyinkyin asase no so no, sɛ wɔn mu bi hunu onipa dompe a, ɔbɛhyɛ hɔ agyiraeɛ akɔsi sɛ asiefoɔ bɛfa akɔsie wɔ Hamon Gog bɔnhwa no mu.
16 Even the town there will be named Hamonah. In this way they will make the country clean.
(Kuro bi bɛba hɔ a ne din de Hamona). Na sei na wɔbɛdwira 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, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Frɛ nnomaa ahodoɔ ne wiram mmoadoma nyinaa na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano mfiri mmeammea mmra afɔrebɔ a meresiesie ama mo no ase, afɔrebɔ kɛseɛ wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Ɛhɔ na mobɛwe ɛnam 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 nnɔmmarima nam wɔ hɔ na moanom asase so mmapɔmma mogya te sɛ deɛ wɔyɛ nnwennini ne nnwammaa, mpapo ne anantwinini a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Basan ayɛmmoa a wɔadɔre sradeɛ.
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.
Afɔdeɛ a meresiesie ama mo no, mobɛdi sradeɛ kɔsi sɛ mobɛyɛ pintinn na moanom mogya akɔsi sɛ mobɛbobo.
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 sotefoɔ, nnɔmmarima ne asraafoɔ ahodoɔ nyinaa ɛnam amee wɔ me ɛpono so,’ Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
21 I will reveal my glory to the other nations, and all of them will see the punishment I hand out to them.
“Mɛda mʼanimuonyam adi wɔ amanaman no mu na wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu asotwe ne nsa a mede ato wɔn so.
22 From that time on the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.
Ɛfiri saa ɛda no rekorɔ, Israel efie bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn 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 bɛhunu sɛ Israelfoɔ kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔn bɔne enti, ɛfiri sɛ wɔanni me nokorɛ. Ɛno enti mede mʼanim hintaa wɔn, na mede wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ nsa na wɔn nyinaa totɔɔ wɔ akofena ano.
24 I dealt with them because of their uncleanness and sins, and I gave up on them.
Me ne wɔn diiɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn ho fi ne wɔn mfomsoɔ teɛ, mede mʼanim hintaa 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 enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede Yakob bɛfiri nkoasom mu aba na manya ahummɔborɔ ama Israelfoɔ 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 bɛfiri wɔn animguaseɛ ne nokorɛ a wɔanni me ɛberɛ a na wɔte hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ wɔn asase so a obiara nhunahuna wɔn.
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 firi amanaman no so sane ba na meboaboa wɔn ano firi wɔn atamfoɔ 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 wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ ɛwom sɛ mede wɔn kɔɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ amanaman no mu deɛ, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so a merennya wɔn mu biara wɔ akyire.
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 nhinta wɔn bio, ɛfiri sɛ mɛhwie me Honhom agu Israel efie so, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
