Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 Sonne of man, prophecie against the prophets of Israel, that prophecie, and say thou vnto them, that prophecie out of their owne hearts, Heare the worde of the Lord.
“Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖila siwo le nya gblɔm ɖi fifia la ŋu. Gblɔe na wo dometɔ siwo gblɔa nya ɖi tso woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu me be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya!’”
3 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the foolish Prophets that follow their owne spirit, and haue seene nothing.
Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Baba na nyagblɔɖila siwo nye abunɛtɔwo, ame siwo dzea woawo ŋutɔ ƒe gbɔgbɔ yome, eye womekpɔa naneke o!
4 O Israel, thy Prophets are like the foxes in the waste places.
O Israel, wò nyagblɔɖilawo le abe abei siwo le gli gbagbãwo dome ene.
5 Ye haue not risen vp in the gappes, neither made vp the hedge for ye house of Israel, to stand in the battel in the daye of the Lord.
Mieyi glia ƒe gbagbãƒewo ne miadzrae ɖo na Israel ƒe aƒe la, ale be wòate ŋu anɔ te sesĩe le aʋa me le Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la dzi o.
6 They haue seene vanitie, and lying diuination, saying, The Lord sayth it, and the Lord hath not sent them: and they haue made others to hope that they would cofirme the word of their prophecie.
Woƒe ŋutegawo nye aʋatso, eye woƒe nukakawo nye alakpa; wogblɔna be, “Yehowae gblɔe,” le esime Yehowa medɔ wo o, ke wokpɔa mɔ be, yewoƒe nyawo nava eme.
7 Haue ye not seene a vaine vision? and haue yee not spoken a lying diuination? ye say, The Lord sayth it, albeit I haue not spoken.
Ɖe miekpɔa aʋatsoŋutegawo, eye miekaa alakpanu esi miegblɔ be, “Yehowae gblɔe” evɔ nyemegblɔ nenema oa?
8 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye haue spoken vanytie and haue seene lyes, therefore beholde, I am agaynst you, sayth the Lord God,
“Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Le miaƒe nya dzodzrowo kple miaƒe alakpaŋutegawo ta la, metso ɖe mia ŋu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
9 And mine hande shalbe vpon the Prophets that see vanity, and diuine lies: they shall not be in the assemblie of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel: and yee shall know that I am the Lord God.
Makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe nyagblɔɖila siwo kpɔa alakpaŋutegawo ŋu, eye womanɔ nye amewo ƒe aɖaŋudelawo dome o. Wokaa aʋatsonukakawo, womaŋlɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe Israel ƒe aƒemetɔwo dome o, eye womage ɖe Israel ƒe anyigba dzi hã o. Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.’”
10 And therefore, because they haue deceiued my people, saying, Peace, and there was no peace: and one buylt vp a wall, and behold, the others daubed it with vntempered morter,
“Le esime wokplɔ nye amewo trae to gbɔgblɔ me be, ‘Ŋutifafa’ li, esime ŋutifafa menɔ anyi o, eye ne wotu gli masemasẽ aɖe la, wosiaa akalo nɛ la,
11 Say vnto them which daube it with vntempered morter, that it shall fall: for there shall come a great showre, and I wil sende haylestones, which shall cause it to fall, and a stormie winde shall breake it.
eya ta gblɔ na akalosilawo be, gli la le mumu ge. Tsi adza bababa, maɖo tsikpe ɖa, eye mana ahom sesẽwo natu.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not bee sayd vnto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye haue daubed it?
Ne gli la mu la, ɖe amewo mabia mi be, ‘Afi ka akalo si miesi nɛ la le o’ mahã?”
13 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, I will cause a stormie winde to breake foorth in my wrath, and a great showre shall bee in mine anger, and hailestones in mine indignation to consume it.
“Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Eya ta le nye dɔmedzoe me la, mana ya sesẽ aɖe naƒo, eye le nye dziku me la, mana tsikpe kple tsi nadza bababa, eye woagblẽ nu.
14 So I wil destroy the wall that ye haue daubed with vntempered morter, and bring it downe to the ground, so that the fundation thereof shalbe discouered, and it shall fal, and ye shalbe consumed in the middes thereof, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord.
Mamu gli si miesi akalo na, magbãe wòasɔ kple anyigba, ale be eƒe gɔmeɖoɖo natsi gota. Ne emu la, atsrɔ̃ mi, ekema mianyae be, nyee nye Yehowa.
15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath vpon the wall, and vpon them that haue daubed it with vntempered morter, and will say vnto you, The wall is no more, neither the daubers thereof,
Ale maɖe nye dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe gli la kple ame siwo si akalo nɛ la ŋu. Magblɔ na mi be, “Gli la megali o, eya ta ame siwo si akalo nɛ la hã maganɔ anyi o.
16 To wit, the Prophets of Israel, which prophesie vpon Ierusalem, and see visions of peace for it, and there is no peace, sayth the Lord God.
Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖila siwo gblɔ nya ɖi le Yerusalem la, kpɔ ŋutifafa ƒe ŋutega, le esime ŋutifafa aɖeke menɔ anyi o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”’
17 Likewise thou sonne of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesie out of their owne heart: and prophesie thou against them, and say,
“Azɔ, ame vi, trɔ wò mo ɖe wò amewo ƒe vinyɔnuvi siwo gblɔ nya ɖi le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu nu la ŋu. Gblɔ nya ɖi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu,
18 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the women that sowe pillowes vnder al arme holes, and make vailes vpon the head of euery one that standeth vp, to hunt soules: will yee hunt ye soules of my people, and will yee giue life to the soules that come vnto you?
nàgblɔ be nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Baba na nyɔnu siwo doa dzokawo ɖe woƒe alɔnuwo katã, eye wowɔa motsyɔnu didime vovovowo ɖe ta, ale be woatre mɔ na amewo. Ɖe miatre mɔ na nye amewo ƒe agbe, ke miaɖe miawo ŋutɔ tɔa?
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barly, and for pieces of bread to slay the soules of them that shoulde not dye, and to giue life to the soules that should not liue in lying to my people, that heare your lies?
Miegblɔ nya vlowo ɖe ŋunye le nye amewo dome ɖe lu asiʋlo ʋɛ aɖewo kple abolo kakɛwo ta. To miaƒe aʋatsokaka na nye ame siwo ɖoa to miaƒe alakpanyawo me la, miewu ame siwo maku hafi o, eye mieɖe ame siwo matsi agbe hafi o la ƒe agbe.’
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will haue to do with your pillowes, wherewith yee hunt the soules to make them to flie, and I will teare them from your armes, and will let the soules goe, euen the soules, that ye hunt to make them to flie.
“Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Metsi tsitre ɖe miaƒe dzoka siwo mietsɔna ɖea amewo abe xeviwo ene la ŋuti, eye maɖe wo ɖa le miaƒe abɔwo ŋu. Mana ablɔɖe ame siwo mietre mɔ na abe xeviwo ene.
21 Your vailes also will I teare, and deliuer my people out of your hande, and they shalbe no more in your hands to be hunted, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Mavuvu miaƒe motsyɔnuwo, maɖe nye amewo tso miaƒe asi me, eye womaganɔ miaƒe ŋusẽ te o. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.
22 Because with your lyes yee haue made the heart of the righteous sadde, whome I haue not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not returne from his wicked way, by promising him life,
Esi mietsɔ alakpa ɖe dzi le ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒo le esime nyemeda nuxaxa ɖe wo dzi o, eye esi miedo ŋusẽ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo be womagaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu o, ale be woaɖe woƒe agbe o ta la,
23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanitie, nor diuine diuinatios: for I wil deliuer my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I am ye Lord.
miagakpɔ alakpaŋutegawo o, eye miagagblɔ alakpanyawo ɖi o. Maɖe nye amewo tso miaƒe asi me. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
