Ezekiel 2
1 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɔre gyina hɔ na me ne wo nkasa.”
2 And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me.
Ɔrekasa no, Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu maa me so gyinaa hɔ, na metee se ɔrekasa kyerɛ me.
3 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.
Ɔkae se, “Onipa ba, meresoma wo akɔ Israelfo mu, atuatew man a wayɛ dɔm atia me; wɔne wɔn agyanom ayɛ dɔm atia me abesi nnɛ.
4 For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
Nnipa a meresoma wo wɔn nkyɛn no yɛ nnipa a wɔasen wɔn kɔn na wɔn aso awu. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se.’
5 But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them.
Na sɛ wotie anaa wɔantie a, esiane sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo nti, wobehu ampa ara sɛ odiyifo bi aba wɔn mu.
6 And thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house.
Na wo, onipa ba, nsuro wɔn anaasɛ wɔn nsɛm. Nsuro, ɛwɔ mu sɛ nsasono ne nsɔe atwa wo ho ahyia na wote nkekantwɛre mu de, nanso nsuro nea wɔka, na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
7 Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious.
Wɔyɛ atuatewfo ankasa nanso sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo, ɛsɛ sɛ woka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
8 But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee.
Nanso wo onipa ba, tie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no. Ntew atua te sɛ saa atuatewfo no; bue wʼanom na di nea mede ma wo no.”
9 And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein.
Afei mehwɛe, na mihuu nsa bi a ateɛ wɔ me so, na mu na nhoma mmobɔwee bi wɔ.
10 And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ɔtrɛw mu wɔ mʼanim. Nʼafanu no mu, na wɔakyerɛw kwadwom, awerɛhowdi ne nnome nsɛm.
