Ezekiel 28
1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God:
“Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Tiro sodifoɔ no sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Wofiri wʼahantan akoma mu ka sɛ, “Meyɛ onyame; mete onyame bi ahennwa so wɔ ɛpo mfimfini.” Nanso woyɛ onipa, wonyɛ onyame, ɛwom, wodwene sɛ wonim nyansa sɛ onyame bi.
3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you:
Wonim nyansa sene Daniel anaa? Wonim kokoamsɛm biara anaa?
4 With your wisdom and with your understanding you have gotten you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures:
Wonam wo nyansa ne nhunumu so anya ahodeɛ ama wo ho. Woapɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bebree agu wʼakoradan mu.
5 By your great wisdom and by your traffic have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches:
Wonam wʼadwadie mu nyansa so ama wʼahonya adɔɔso, na wʼahonya enti wahoran wɔ wʼakoma mu.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have set your heart as the heart of God;
“‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Esiane sɛ wodwene sɛ wonim nyansa te sɛ Onyame enti,
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
mede ananafoɔ reba abɛtia wo, amanaman no mu ɔdesɛefoɔ pa ara; wɔbɛtwetwe wɔn akofena wɔ wʼahoɔfɛ ne wo nyansa so na wɔahwire wʼanimuonyam no.
8 They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of them that are slain in the middle of the seas.
Wɔde wo bɛto amena no mu, na wobɛwu owu yaaya wɔ ɛpo mfimfini.
9 Will you yet say before him that slays you, I am God? but you shall be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slays you.
Afei wobɛka sɛ, “Meyɛ onyame,” wɔ wɔn a wɔkumm woɔ no anim anaa? Wobɛyɛ onipa na ɛnyɛ onyame wɔ wɔn a wɔkumm woɔ no nsam.
10 You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
Wobɛwu momonotofoɔ wuo wɔ ananafoɔ nsam. Me na maka, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation on the king of Tyrus, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Onipa ba, ma kwadwom a ɛfa Tirohene ho a ka kyerɛ no sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Na anka woyɛ pɛyɛ nhwɛsodeɛ, na wowɔ nyansa na woyɛ ahoɔfɛ dua.
13 You have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created.
Na anka wowɔ Eden Onyankopɔn turo no mu. Wɔde abohemaa nyinaa siesie wo: bogyanamboɔ, akarateboɔ ne bɔwerɛboɔ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ, nsrammaboɔ ne ahahammonoboɔ. Wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ na ayɛ wʼahyehyɛdeɛ, wɔsiesiee ne nyinaa ɛda a wɔbɔɔ woɔ.
14 You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
Wɔsraa wo ngo sɛ ɔhwɛfoɔ Kerub, ɛfiri sɛ saa na mehyɛɛ woɔ. Na wowɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔ kronkron no so; wonantee ogya aboɔ mu.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you.
Na anka wʼakwan ho nni asɛm ɛfiri ɛda a wɔbɔɔ woɔ no kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu amumuyɛ wɔ wo mu.
16 By the multitude of your merchandise they have filled the middle of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
Wʼadwadie a emu trɛ no enti wɔde akakabensɛm hyɛɛ wo ma na woyɛɛ bɔne. Ɛno enti mepamoo wo firii Onyankopɔn bepɔ no so wɔ animguaseɛ mu, na meyii wo adi, Ao ɔhwɛfoɔ Kerub, firii ogya aboɔ no mu.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.
Wo horanee wɔ wʼakoma mu wʼahoɔfɛ enti, na womaa wo nyansa porɔeɛ, wʼanimuonyam no enti. Enti metoo wo twenee fam; na mede wo yɛɛ ahwɛdea wɔ ahemfo anim.
18 You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the middle of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all them that behold you.
Wode wo nnebɔne ne adwadie mu nsisie agu wo kronkrommea ho fi, ɛno enti memaa ogya firii wo mu na ɛhyee wo, na mema wo danee nsõ wɔ wɔn a na wɔrehwɛ no nyinaa anim.
19 All they that know you among the people shall be astonished at you: you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more.
Aman a na wɔnim woɔ nyinaa ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo ho: wʼawieeɛ ayɛ ahomete na wɔrenhunu wo bio.’”
20 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
21 Son of man, set your face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Sidon na hyɛ nkɔm tia no
22 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the middle of you: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
na ka sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Me ne wo anya, Ao Sidon na mɛnya animuonyam wɔ wo mu. Wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, ɛberɛ a mede asotwe aba wo so na mada me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ wo mu.
23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the middle of her by the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba wo so na mama mogya atene wɔ wo mmɔntene so. Apirafoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ wo mu, ɛberɛ a akofena redi ahim wɔ wo ho nyinaa. Afei na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
“‘Na Israelfoɔ rennya ayɔnkofoɔ a wɔwɔ adwemmɔne, wɔn a wɔwowɔ yayaaya sɛ ɔhwerɛm ne nkasɛɛ bio. Afei na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Otumfoɔ Awurade no.
25 Thus says the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ meboa Israelfoɔ ano firi aman a wabɔ wɔn apete no so a, mɛda me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ wɔn mu, ama amanaman no ahunu. Afei wɔbɛtena wɔn ankasa asase a mede maa me ɔsomfoɔ Yakob no so.
26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments on all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
Wɔbɛtena hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu na wɔbɛsisi adan, ayeyɛ bobe nturo; Wɔbɛtena ase asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ ɛberɛ a matwe nʼayɔnkofoɔ a wɔkasa tiaa no no nyinaa aso. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no.’”
