< Ezekiel 7 >
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
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, yei ne asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Israel asase no: “‘Awieeɛ no, awieeɛ no aduru asase no ntweaso ɛnan 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.
Awieeɛ no aduru wɔ wo so, na mɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so. Mɛgyina wʼabrabɔ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.
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.
Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Ampa ara mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no, na moahunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’
5 Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, one euil, euen one euill is come.
“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Atoyerɛnkyɛm! Atoyerɛnkyɛm a wontee da nam ɛkwan so reba!
6 An ende is come, the end is come, it watched for thee: beholde, it is come.
Awieeɛ no aba! Awieeɛ no aba! Apagya ne ho 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.
Ɔsɛeɛ aduru mo, mo a mote asase no so. Ɛberɛ no aduru, ɛda no abɛn; huboabɔ ɛberɛ a ɛnyɛ mmepɔ no so ahosɛpɛ.
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.
Merebɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so de awie mʼabufuo a ɛtia wo no. Mɛgyina wo nneyɛɛ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.
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.
Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ, na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me, Awurade, na mebobɔ.
10 Beholde, the day, beholde, it is come: the morning is gone forth, the rod florisheth: pride hath budded.
“‘Ɛda no nie! Hwɛ aba! Atemmuo da no apue, abaa no afefɛ, ahantan ahanehane!
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.
Akakabensɛm ayɛ abaa a wɔde twe amumuyɛ aso. Nnipa no mu biara renka, nnipakuo no mu biara, ahonyadeɛ ne deɛ 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.
Ɛberɛ no aso! Ɛda no aduru. Mma ɔdetɔfoɔ ani nnnye anaa ɔdetɔnfoɔ werɛ nho, ɛfiri sɛ abufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo 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.
Deɛ ɔtɔn no nsa renka asase a watɔn no bio wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔn mmienu te ase, Ɛfiri sɛ anisoadehunu a ɛfa nnipakuo no nyinaa no rensesa. Wɔn bɔne enti, 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.
“‘Ɛwom, wɔhyɛne totorobɛnto, na wɔboaboa biribiara ano deɛ, nanso obiara renkɔ ɔsa, ɛfiri sɛ mʼabufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo 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.
Akofena wɔ mfikyire; na ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm wɔ efie. Wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔn a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm bɛkum 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 tiri adidi mu na wɔadwane no bɛtena mmepɔ no so. Na wɔakurum te sɛ mmɔnhwa mu mmorɔnoma wɔ wɔn mu biara bɔne enti.
17 All handes shalbe weake, and all knees shall fall away as water.
Nsa nyinaa bɛdwodwo na nkotodwe nyinaa ayɛ mmrɛ sɛ nsuo.
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.
Wɔbɛfirafira ayitoma na wɔabɔ huboa. Aniwuo bɛkata wɔn anim na wɔayi wɔn tirinwi.
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.
“‘Wɔbɛto wɔn dwetɛ agu mmɔntene so, na wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛho nteɛ. Wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn Awurade abufuhyeɛ ɛda no. Ɛrenkum wɔn kɔm na ɛrenhyɛ wɔn yafunu ma, ɛfiri sɛ ayɛ wɔn suntidua 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 mpompranneɛ fɛfɛ no hoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔde yeyɛɛ wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ ne nsɛsodeɛ tantane; enti mɛdane yeinom a ɛho nteɛ 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 ananafoɔ sɛ afodeɛ na mede ama asase so atirimuɔdenfoɔ sɛ korɔnodeɛ, na wɔbɛgu 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.
Mɛyi mʼani afiri wɔn so na akorɔmfoɔ bɛgu beaeɛ a ɛsom me bo ho fi. Wɔbɛwura 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! Ɛfiri sɛ 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 otirimuɔdenfoɔ pa ara abɛfa wɔn afie; mɛma ɔhoɔdenfoɔ ahomasoɔ aba awieeɛ, na wɔn kronkrommea ho bɛgu fi.
25 When destruction commeth, they shall seeke peace, and shall not haue it.
Sɛ ehu ba a, wɔbɛhwehwɛ asomdwoeɛ akyiri ɛkwan, 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 bɛdi atoyerɛnkyɛm akyi aba; atesɛm bɛdi atesɛm akyi. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya anisoadehunu afiri odiyifoɔ no hɔ, Ɔsɔfoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa mmara no ho no bɛbɔ wɔn. Saa ara na wɔrennya afotuo mfiri mpanimfoɔ 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 bɛtwa adwo, ɔheneba no bɛfira abasamutuo, na asase no so nnipa nsa bɛpopo. Me ne wɔn bɛdi no sɛdeɛ wɔn nneyɛɛ teɛ, na mɛgyina wɔn pɛpɛyɛ so abu wɔn atɛn. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
