< Ezekiel 38 >

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
2 Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani si Gog, a ɛwɔ Magog asase so no so, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn no; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
na ka sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Gog, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn.
4 And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all of your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Mɛkyinkyim wo na mede nnarewa asosɔ wʼapantan mu, na mede wo ne wʼakodɔm nyinaa, wʼapɔnkɔ, wʼapɔnkɔtesofoɔ a wɔhyehyɛ akotaadeɛ ne ɛdɔm kɛseɛ a wɔkurakura akokyɛm akɛseɛ ne nketewa a wɔn nyinaa rehinhim wɔn akofena, apue.
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Persia, Kus ne Put a wɔn nyinaa kurakura akokyɛm na wɔhyehyɛ wɔn dadeɛ kyɛ bɛka wɔn ho,
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with you.
afei Gomer ne nʼasraafoɔ nyinaa ne Bet-Togarma a wɔfiri atifi fam akyirikyiri ne nʼasraafoɔ ne aman bebree bɛka wo ho.
7 Be you prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled unto you, and be you a guard unto them.
“‘Siesie wo ho, yɛ krado, wo ne nipakuo a wɔaboaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ wo nkyɛn nyinaa na yɛ wɔn so hwɛfoɔ.
8 After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Nna bebree akyi no, wobɛtwe atuo. Mfeɛ bi akyi no wobɛko afa asase bi a wafiri ɔko mu afirie na wɔaboaboa ɛso nnipa afiri amanaman so aba Israel mmepɔ a ada mpan akyɛre no so. Wɔde wɔn fifiri amanaman no mu, na seesei wɔn nyinaa te asomdwoeɛ mu.
9 You shall ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your bands, and many people with you.
Wo ne wʼasraafoɔ nyinaa ne aman bebrebe a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn no bɛforo akɔ mo anim sɛ ahum. Mobɛyɛ sɛ omununkum akata asase no so.
10 Thus says the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into your mind, and you shall think an evil thought:
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Saa ɛda no, nsusuiɛ bi bɛba wo tirim na wobɛdwene nhyehyɛeɛ bɔne bi.
11 And you shall say, I will go up to the land of villages without protective walls; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Wobɛka sɛ, “Mɛko afa asase a wɔntoo ɛso nkuraa ho fasuo. Mɛto ahyɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asomdwoeɛ na wɔnnwene hwee ho, a wɔn mu biara nni ɔfasuo, apono ne akyi adaban.
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have got cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Mɛfom na mawia na madane me nsa atia amanfo a nnipa abɛtena soɔ ne nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ano afiri amanaman so, nnipa a ayɛmmoa ne adwadideɛ abu wɔn soɔ na wɔtete asase no mfimfini.”
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Seba ne Dedan ne Tarsis adwadifoɔ ne ne nkuraase nyinaa bɛbisa wo sɛ, “Woaba sɛ worebɛfom anaa? Woaboa wo dɔm ano sɛ morebɛwia na moasoa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, ayɛmmoa ne adwadideɛ akɔ na moafa afodeɛ bebree abranso anaa?”’
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shall you not know it?
“Ɛno enti, onipa ba hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ Gog sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Saa ɛda no, ɛberɛ a me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ te hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu no, worennwene ho anaa?
15 And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Wobɛfiri wʼasase so wɔ atifi fam nohoa tɔnn, wo ne aman bebree a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ soɔ, nipadɔm kɛseɛ, asraadɔm a ɛso.
16 And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
Mobɛtu atene akɔtia me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ te sɛ omununkum a ɛkata asase no so. Nna a ɛbɛba no mu, Gog, mɛma woasɔre atia mʼasase, sɛdeɛ aman no bɛhunu me, ɛberɛ a menam wo so bɛda me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ wɔn anim.
17 Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring you against them?
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛnyɛ wo ne deɛ menam mʼasomfoɔ Israel adiyifoɔ so kaa wo ho asɛm nna a atwam no anaa? Saa ɛberɛ no, wɔde mfeɛ bebree hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ mɛma wo so de atia wɔn.
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
Yei ne deɛ ɛbɛsi saa ɛda no. Sɛ Gog to hyɛ Israel asase so a, mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛsɔre, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Mʼanem ne mʼabufuhyeɛ mu, mepae mu ka sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no asasewosoɔ kɛseɛ bɛba Israel asase so.
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Ɛpo mu mpataa, ewiem nnomaa, wiram mmoa, abɔdeɛ biara a ɛwea asase soɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ho bɛpopo wɔ mʼanim. Mmepɔ bɛtutu agu, abotan bɛdwiri na afasuo nyinaa abubu agu fam.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Mɛfrɛ akofena abɛtia Gog wɔ me mmepɔ nyinaa so, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Wɔde akofena bɛsɔre atia wɔn ho wɔn ho.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Mede ɔyaredɔm ne mogyahwiegu bɛbu no atɛn, mɛhwie osubrane, ampariboɔ, ogya ne sɔfe a ɛdɛre agu ɔno ne nʼasraafoɔ ne aman bebree a wɔka ne ho no so.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Enti mɛda me kɛseyɛ ne me kronkronyɛ adi, na mama amanaman ahunu me. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
