Ezekiel 6

1 A message from the Lord came to me that said,

Yehowa ƒe nya va gbɔnye be,

2 “Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains and prophesy against them.

“Ame vi, trɔ mo de Israel ƒe towo; gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe wo ŋu,

3 Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and destroy your high places.

eye nàgblɔ be, ‘O Israel ƒe towo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nyawo. Esiae nye nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na towo kple togbɛwo, na agadowo kple balimewo: mele yi tsɔ ge ɖe mia ŋu, eye magblẽ miaƒe nuxeƒewo.

4 Your pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their idols.

Woagbã miaƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo, woakaka vɔsamlekpui siwo dzi miedoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le, eye mawu miaƒe amewo le miaƒe legbawo ŋgɔ.

5 I will put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.

Matsɔ Israelvi kukuwo amlɔ woƒe legbawo ŋgɔ, eye makaka miaƒe ƒuwo aƒo xlã miaƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo.

6 Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.

Afi sia afi si mianɔ la, miaƒe duwo azu aƒedo, eye woagbã miaƒe nuxeƒewo, woagbã miaƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo, eye woatsrɔ̃ wo; woagbã miaƒe legbawo, woagbã miaƒe vɔsamlekpui siwo dzi miedoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le, eye woatsrɔ̃ nu siwo miewɔ.

7 People will be killed all throughout your country. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Woawu miaƒe amewo le mia dome, eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”

8 However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.

“Ke maɖe ame aɖewo ya, elabena mia dometɔ aɖewo asi le yinu ne wokaka mi ɖe anyigba dzi kple dukɔwo dome.

9 Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.

Ekema le dukɔ siwo me woɖe aboyo wo yi la, ame siwo asi la, aɖo ŋku dzinye. Woaɖo ŋku ale si woƒe ahasiwɔdzi siwo trɔ le yonyeme kple ale si woƒe ŋkuwo nɔ woƒe legbawo ŋu la na mese vevee la dzi, woase veve ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo wowɔ kple woƒe wɔna nyɔŋuwo katã ta.

10 Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster upon them.

Woanya be nyee nye Yehowa; nyemedo ŋɔdzi na wo dzodzro be mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzii o.”

11 This is what the Lord God says: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.

“Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Miƒo asikpe, mitu afɔ anyi, eye miado ɣli be, “Ao!” Le Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo kple ŋunyɔnuwo katã ta, elabena yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ atsrɔ̃ wo.

12 Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards them.

Ame si le adzɔge ʋĩi la, dɔvɔ̃ awui, ame si le kpuiƒe la, yi awui, eye ame si atsi agbe la, aku le dɔwuame ta. Alea mawɔ nye dziku ŋu dɔ ɖe wo ŋutie.

13 Then you will know that I am the Lord—when the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.

Ale woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne woƒe ame kukuwo mlɔ woƒe legbawo dome, eye ɖewo ƒo xlã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo le nuxeƒe ɖe sia ɖe kple to ɖe sia ɖe dzi, le ati dama kple oɖumti dama ɖe sia ɖe te, teƒe siwo katã wodoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na woƒe legbawo katã le.

14 I'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Mado nye asi ɖa ɖe wo ŋu, eye mana woƒe anyigba nazu gbegbe, tso gbegbe la to yi Dibla, afi sia afi si woanɔ. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
