Ezekiel 28
1 The word of YHWH came again unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am an El, I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not El, though thou set thine heart as the heart of Elohim:
“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, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
Wonim nyansa sene Daniel anaa? Wonim kokoamsɛm biara anaa?
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
Wonam wo nyansa ne nhunumu so anya ahodeɛ ama wo ho. Woapɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bebree agu wʼakoradan mu.
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Wonam wʼadwadie mu nyansa so ama wʼahonya adɔɔso, na wʼahonya enti wahoran wɔ wʼakoma mu.
6 Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of Elohim;
“‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Esiane sɛ wodwene sɛ wonim nyansa te sɛ Onyame enti,
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy 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 thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Wɔde wo bɛto amena no mu, na wobɛwu owu yaaya wɔ ɛpo mfimfini.
9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am Elohim? but thou shalt be a man, and no El, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
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 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Wobɛwu momonotofoɔ wuo wɔ ananafoɔ nsam. Me na maka, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Thou sealest 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 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Elohim; every precious stone was thy 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 thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast 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 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst 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 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Na anka wʼakwan ho nni asɛm ɛfiri ɛda a wɔbɔɔ woɔ no kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu amumuyɛ wɔ wo mu.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Elohim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst 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 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
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 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
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 thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou 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 YHWH came unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Sidon na hyɛ nkɔm tia no
22 And say, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am YHWH, 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 midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
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 unto 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 Sovereign YHWH.
“‘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 saith the Sovereign YHWH; 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; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am YHWH their Elohim.
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.’”
