< Ezekiel 35 >
1 Moreover the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔ Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔ Seir, na mɛtene me basa atia wo, na mɛma woada mpan.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am Yhwh.
Mɛdane wo nkuro ama ayɛ mmubuiɛ na wobɛda mpan. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
“‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na woyii Israelfoɔ maa akofena wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, ɛberɛ a wɔn asotwe duruu ne mpɔnpɔnsoɔ no
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi deɛ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, mede wo bɛma mogyahwieguo na ɛbɛdi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwieguo no enti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
Mɛma bepɔ Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wɔdi so akɔneaba no afiri hɔ.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
Mede atɔfoɔ bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔ so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ akofena ano bɛhwehwe ase wɔ wo nkokoɔ so, mmɔnhwa mu ne wo subɔnhwa mu.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am Yhwh.
Mɛma wada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkuro so. Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Yhwh was there:
“‘Woaka sɛ, “Saa aman mmienu ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ ɛberɛ a me Awurade mete hɔ,
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
enti, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, me ne wo bɛdi no sɛdeɛ abufuo ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotanee wɔn no mu no teɛ, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, ɛberɛ a mɛbu wo atɛn.
12 And thou shalt know that I am Yhwh, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiabuo nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔ. Wokaa sɛ, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadane ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na meteeɛ.
14 Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛberɛ a ewiase nyinaa redi ahurisie no, mɛma woada mpan.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am Yhwh.
Sɛdeɛ wodii ahurisie ɛberɛ a Israel efie agyapadeɛ daa mpan no, saa ɛkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔ Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
