Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
2 Also thou sonne of man, thus saith the Lord God, An ende is come vnto the lande of Israel: the ende is come vpon the foure corners of the lande.
“Onipa ba, eyi ne asɛm a Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ Israel asase no: “‘Awiei no! Awiei no adu asase no ntwea anan no so.
3 Nowe is the ende come vpon thee, and I wil sende my wrath vpon thee, and will iudge thee according to thy wayes, and will laye vpon thee all thine abominations.
Awiei no adu wɔ wo so, na mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu wo so. Megyina wʼabrabɔ so abu wo atɛn na matua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛe bɔne nyinaa ho.
4 Neither shall mine eye spare thee, neither will I haue pitie: but I will laye thy waies vpon thee: and thine abomination shall bee in the middes of thee, and yee shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Merenhu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Ampa ara metua wo ka wɔ wo suban ne nneyɛe bɔne a ɛwɔ wo mu no ho, na moahu sɛ mene Awurade.’
5 Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, one euil, euen one euill is come.
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Atoyerɛnkyɛm! Atoyerɛnkyɛm a wontee da nam kwan so reba.
6 An ende is come, the end is come, it watched for thee: beholde, it is come.
Awiei no aba! Awiei no aba! Ama ne ho so atia wo. Aba!
7 The morning is come vnto thee, that dwellest in the lande: the time is come, the day of trouble is neere, and not the sounding againe of the mountaines.
Ɔsɛe aba mo so, aba mo a mote asase no so no so. Bere no adu, da no abɛn; huboabɔ a ɛnyɛ mmepɔw so ahosɛpɛw.
8 Now I will shortly powre out my wrath vpon thee, and fulfil mine anger vpon thee: I will iudge thee according to thy wayes, and will lay vpon thee all thine abominations.
Merebehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu wo so de awie mʼabufuw a etia wo no. Megyina wo nneyɛe so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo nneyɛe bɔne nyinaa so ka.
9 Neither shall mine eie spare thee, neither will I haue pitie, but I will laye vpon thee according to thy wayes, and thine abominations shalbe in the middes of thee, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord that smiteth.
Merenhu wo mmɔbɔ, na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Metua wo ka wɔ wo suban ne nneyɛe bɔne a ɛwɔ wo mu no ho. Afei mubehu sɛ me, Awurade, na mebobɔ mo.
10 Beholde, the day, beholde, it is come: the morning is gone forth, the rod florisheth: pride hath budded.
“‘Da no ni; hwɛ, aba! Atemmuda no apue, abaa no afefɛw, ahantan ahaahan!
11 Crueltie is risen vp into a rod of wickednes: none of them shall remaine, nor of their riches, nor of any of theirs, neither shall there bee lamentation for them.
Kitikitiyɛ asɔre, abaa a wɔde twe amumɔyɛ aso. Ɛrenka nnipa no mu biara, dɔm no mu biara, ahonyade ne nea ɛsom bo biara renka.
12 The time is come, the day draweth neere: let not the byer reioyce, nor let him that selleth, mourne: for the wrath is vpon al the multitude thereof.
Bere no aso, da no adu. Mma adetɔni ani nnye anaa ɔdetɔnfo werɛ nhow, efisɛ abufuwhyew wɔ nnipadɔm no nyinaa so.
13 For hee that selleth, shall not returne to that which is solde, although they were yet aliue: for the vision was vnto al the multitude thereof, and they returned not, neither doeth any encourage himselfe in the punishment of his life.
Nea ɔtɔn no nsa renka asase a watɔn no bio wɔ bere a wɔn baanu te ase, efisɛ anisoadehu a ɛfa nnipadɔm no nyinaa ho no rensesa. Wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn mu baako koraa remfa ne ho nni.
14 They haue blowen the trumpet, and prepared all, but none goeth to the battel: for my wrath is vpon all the multitude thereof.
“‘Wɔahyɛn akobɛn no, na wɔboaboa biribiara ano de, nanso obiara renkɔ ɔsa, efisɛ mʼabufuwhyew wɔ nnipakuw no nyinaa so.
15 The sword is without, and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field, shall dye with the sword, and he that is in the citie, famine and pestilence shall deuoure him.
Afoa wɔ mfikyiri na ɔyaredɔm ne ɔkɔm wɔ fie; wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Wɔn a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔyaredɔm ne ɔkɔm bekum wɔn.
16 But they that flee away from them, shall escape, and shalbe in the mountaines, like the doues of the valleis: all they shall mourne, euery one for his iniquitie.
Wɔn a wɔanya wɔn ti adidi mu na wɔaguan no bɛtena mmepɔw no so. Na wɔakurum te sɛ aku mu mmorɔnoma, wɔn mu biara bɔne nti.
17 All handes shalbe weake, and all knees shall fall away as water.
Nsa nyinaa bedwudwo na nkotodwe nyinaa ayɛ mmrɛw sɛ nsu.
18 They shall also girde them selues with sackecloth, and feare shall couer them, and shame shalbe vpon all faces, and baldnes vpon their heads.
Wobefurafura atweaatam na wɔabɔ huboa. Aniwu bɛkata wɔn anim na wɔayi wɔn tinwi.
19 They shall cast their siluer in the streetes, and their golde shalbe cast farre off: their siluer and their gold can not deliuer them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfie their soules, neither fill their bowels: for this ruine is for their iniquitie.
“‘Wɔbɛtow wɔn dwetɛ agu mmɔnten so, na wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ ade a ɛho ntew. Wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn Awurade abufuwhyew da no. Ɛrenkum wɔn kɔm na ɛrenhyɛ wɔn yafunu ma, efisɛ ayɛ wɔn hintidua de wɔn akɔ bɔne mu.
20 He had also set the beautie of his ornament in maiestie: but they made images of their abominations, and of their idoles therein: therefore haue I set it farre from them.
Na wɔde wɔn nnwinne afɛfɛ no hoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔde yeyɛɛ wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwade ne nsɛsode tantan. Enti mɛdan eyinom nneɛma a ho ntew no ama wɔn.
21 And I will giue it into the handes of the strangers to be spoyled, and to the wicked of the earth to be robbed, and they shall pollute it.
Mede ne nyinaa bɛma ananafo sɛ asade na mede ama asase so atirimɔdenfo sɛ akorɔnne, na wobegu ho fi.
22 My face will I turne also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the destroyers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Meyi mʼani afi wɔn so na wobegu beae a ɛsom me bo no ho fi. Akorɔmfo bewura hɔ na wɔagu ho fi.
23 Make a chaine: for the lande is full of the iudgement of blood, and the citie is full of crueltie.
“‘Monyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, efisɛ mogyahwiegu ayɛ asase no so ma, na akakabensɛm ahyɛ kuropɔn no ma.
24 Wherefore I will bring the most wicked of the heathen, and they shall possesse their houses: I will also make the pompe of the mightie to cease, and their holie places shalbe defiled.
Mɛma aman no mu otirimɔdenfo pa ara abɛfa wɔn afi; mɛma ɔhoɔdenfo ahomaso aba awiei, na wɔn kronkrommea ho begu fi.
25 When destruction commeth, they shall seeke peace, and shall not haue it.
Sɛ ehu ba a, wɔbɛhwehwɛ asomdwoe akyi kwan nanso ɛbɛbɔ wɔn.
26 Calamitie shall come vpon calamitie, and rumour shall bee vpon rumour: then shall they seeke a vision of the Prophet: but the Lawe shall perish from the Priest, and counsel from the Ancient.
Atoyerɛnkyɛm bedi atoyerɛnkyɛm akyi aba; huhuhuhu bedi huhuhuhu akyi. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wobenya anisoadehu afi odiyifo no hɔ, asɔfo no nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa mmara no ho no bɛbɔ wɔn, saa ara na wɔrennya afotu mfi mpanyimfo hɔ.
27 The King shall mourne, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the handes of the people in the land shall be troubled: I wil doe vnto them according to their waies, and according to their iudgements will I iudge them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Ɔhene no betwa adwo, ɔheneba no befura abawpa, na asase no so nnipa nsa bɛpopo. Me ne wɔn bedi no sɛnea wɔn nneyɛe te na megyina wɔn tebea so abu wɔn atɛn. Afei wobehu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
