Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the Lord was vpon me, and caryed me out in ye spirit of ye Lord, and set me downe in ye mids of the field, which was full of bones.
Na Awurade nsa wɔ me so na ɔde ne Honhom yii me firii adi de me bɛsii bɔnhwa no mfimfini, na nnompe ayɛ no ma.
2 And he led me round about by them, and beholde, they were very many in the open fielde, and lo, they were very drie.
Ɔde me dii akɔneaba wɔ mu na mehunuu nnompe bebree wɔ bɔnhwa no ase, nnompe a ɛho akokwa.
3 And he sayde vnto me, Sonne of man, can these bones liue? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Onipa ba, saa nnompe yi bɛtumi anya nkwa anaa?” Mekaa sɛ, “Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, wo nko ara na wonim.”
4 Againe he sayde vnto me, Prophecie vpon these bones and say vnto them, O ye dry bones, heare the word of the Lord.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Hyɛ nkɔm wɔ nnompe yi ho na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nnompe a mo ho akokwa, montie Awurade asɛm!
5 Thus saith the Lord God vnto these bones, Behold, I wil cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall liue.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ saa nnompe yi: Mɛma ahomeɛ aba mo mu na mobɛnya nkwa.
6 And I will lay sinewes vpon you, and make flesh growe vpon you, and couer you with skinne, and put breath in you, that ye may liue, and yee shall know that I am the Lord.
Mɛma ntini abɛsosɔ mo mu, na mede ɛnam agu mo so na mede wedeɛ akata mo so. Mede ahomeɛ bɛgu mo mu na moaba nkwa mu. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
7 So I prophecied, as I was commanded: and as I prophecied, there was a noyse, and beholde, there was a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Ɛno enti mehyɛɛ nkɔm sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ me no. Na megu so rehyɛ nkɔm no, ɛnne bi baeɛ, awosoɔ bi, na nnompe no keka bobɔɔ mu, dompe bɛkaa ne dompe ho.
8 And when I beheld, loe, the sinewes, and the flesh grewe vpon them, and aboue, the skinne couered them, but there was no breath in them.
Na mehwɛeɛ hunuiɛ sɛ ntini baa so, na ɛnam baa ho na wedeɛ bɛkataa so, nanso na ahomeɛ biara nni mu.
9 Then sayd he vnto me, Prophecie vnto the winde: prophecie, sonne of man, and say to the winde, Thus sayth the Lord God, Come from the foure windes, O breath, and breathe vpon these slayne, that they may liue.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “Hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ ahome, hyɛ nkɔm onipa ba, na ka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ahome, firi mframa ɛnan no mu bra bɛhome gu saa awufoɔ yi mu na wɔnya nkwa.’”
10 So I prophecied as hee had commanded me: and the breath came into them, and they liued, and stood vp vpon their feete, an exceeding great armie.
Enti mehyɛɛ nkɔm sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ me no, na ahome hyɛnee wɔn mu; na nkwa baa wɔn mu ma wɔsɔre gyinagyinaa wɔn nan so, ɛdɔm kɛseɛ pa ara.
11 Then he sayd vnto me, Sonne of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is gone, and we are cleane cut off.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, saa nnompe yi yɛ Israel efie nyinaa. Wɔka sɛ: ‘Yɛn nnompe ho akokwa na yɛn anidasoɔ asa. Wɔatwa yɛn agu korakora.’
12 Therefore prophecie, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, my people, I will open your graues, and cause you to come vp out of your sepulchres, and bring you into the lande of Israel,
Ɛno enti hyɛ nkɔm na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me nkurɔfoɔ, merebɛbuebue mo adamena na mayi mo afiri mu apue. Mede mo bɛsane aba Israel asase so.
13 And yee shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I haue opened your graues, O my people, and brought you vp out of your sepulchres,
Afei mo, me nkurɔfoɔ, sɛ mebuebue mo adamena na meyiyi mo firi mu a, mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
14 And shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall liue, and I shall place you in your owne land: then yee shall knowe that I the Lord haue spoken it, and performed it, sayth the Lord.
Mede me Honhom bɛhyɛ mo mu na mobɛnya nkwa, na mede mo bɛtena mo ankasa asase so. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me, Awurade na makasa na mayɛ nso, Awurade asɛm nie.’”
15 The word of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
16 Moreouer thou sonne of man, take thee a piece of wood, and write vpon it, Vnto Iudah, and to the children of Israel his companions the take another piece of wood, and write vpon it, Vnto Ioseph the tree of Ephraim, and to al the house of Israel his companions.
“Onipa ba, fa dua na twerɛ ho sɛ, ‘Yei gyina hɔ ma Yudafoɔ ne Israelfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no.’ Afei fa dua foforɔ na twerɛ ho sɛ, ‘Efraim dua a ɛyɛ Yosef ne Israel efie a wɔka ne ho nyinaa dea.’
17 And thou shalt ioyne the one to another into one tree, and they shalbe as one in thine hand.
Ka ne mmienu bɔ mu na ɛnyɛ dua baako wɔ wo nsam.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speake vnto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shewe vs what thou meanest by these?
“Sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ ka sɛ, ‘Worenkyerɛ yɛn deɛ wode yei kyerɛ anaa a,’
19 Thou shalt answere them, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Behold, I wil take the tree of Ioseph, which is in the hande of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellowes, and will put them with him, euen with the tree of Iudah, and make them one tree, and they shalbe one in mine hand.
ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merebɛfa Yosef dua a ɛhyɛ Efraim ne Israel mmusuakuo a wɔka ne ho no nsa, na mede abɔ Yuda dua no mu ayɛ mmienu no baako, na wɔbɛyɛ baako wɔ me nsam.’
20 And the pieces of wood, whereon thou writest, shalbe in thine hand, in their sight.
Ma nnua a woatwerɛtwerɛ ho no so kyerɛ wɔn
21 And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and wil gather them on euery side, and bring them into their owne land.
na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛyi Israelfoɔ afiri amanaman a wɔkɔ soɔ no so. Mɛboaboa wɔn ano afiri afanan nyinaa na mede wɔn asane aba wɔn ankasa asase so.
22 And I will make them one people in the lande, vpon the mountaines of Israel, and one king shalbe king to them all: and they shalbe no more two peoples, neither bee deuided any more henceforth into two kingdomes.
Mɛyɛ wɔn ɔman baako wɔ asase no so wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Ɔhene baako bɛdi wɔn nyinaa so na wɔrenyɛ aman mmienu bio, na wɔrenkyɛ mu nyɛ wɔn ahennie mmienu.
23 Neither shall they bee polluted any more with their idoles, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will saue them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they haue sinned, and will clense them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Wɔremfa wɔn ahoni ne nsɛsodeɛ tantane no anaasɛ wɔn nnebɔne no mu bi ngu wɔn ho fi bio, na mɛgye wɔn nkwa afiri wɔn akyirisane bɔne mu na mɛte wɔn ho. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
24 And Dauid my seruant shalbe king ouer them, and they all shall haue one shepheard: they shall also walke in my iudgements, and obserue my statutes, and doe them.
“‘Me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid bɛdi wɔn so ɔhene na wɔn nyinaa bɛnya odwanhwɛfoɔ baako. Wɔbɛdi me mmara so na wɔahwɛ mʼahyɛdeɛ ayɛ.
25 And they shall dwell in the lande, that I haue giuen vnto Iaakob my seruant, where your fathers haue dwelt, and they shall dwel therein, euen they, and their sonnes, and their sonnes sonnes for euer, and my seruant Dauid shall bee their prince for euer.
Wɔbɛtena asase a mede maa me ɔsomfoɔ Yakob, asase a mo agyanom tenaa soɔ. Wɔne wɔn mma ne wɔn mma mma bɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ, na me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn ɔberempɔn afebɔɔ.
26 Moreouer, I will make a couenant of peace with them: it shall be an euerlasting couenant with them, and I wil place them, and multiply them, and wil set my Sanctuarie among them for euermore.
Me ne wɔn bɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam, ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛte hɔ daa. Mɛma wɔatim na mama wɔadɔre na mede me kronkronbea bɛsi wɔn mu afebɔɔ.
27 My tabernacle also shalbe with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.
Me tenabea bɛwɔ wɔn mu, mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn na wɔayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
28 Thus the heathen shall knowe, that I the Lord do sanctifie Israel, when my Sanctuarie shall be among them for euermore.
Afei amanaman no bɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, me na meyɛ Israel kronkron, ɛberɛ a me kronkronbea si wɔn mu afebɔɔ.’”
