Jezekiel 6

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

2 Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,

3 and you shall say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.

na ka sɛ, ‘Ao Israel mmepɔ montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, abon ne mmɔnhwa: Merebɛtwe mo so akofena na masɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea.

4 And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.

Wɔbɛbubu mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no na wɔasɛe nnuhwam adum; na mɛkunkum mo nkurɔfoɔ wɔ mo ahoni anim.

5 And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,

Mede Israelfoɔ afunu bɛgugu wɔn ahoni anim, na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ ho.

6 and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.

Baabiara a moteɛ no, nkuro no bɛda mpan, na ne sorɔnsorɔmmea bɛsɛe, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no bɛda mpan na ayɛ afo. Mo ahoni bɛbubu na asɛe. Mo nnuhwam adum bɛbubu agu fam, na deɛ moayɛ nso bɛhwere mo.

7 And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Mo nkurɔfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.

8 When there are [some] of you escaping from the sword among the Gentiles, and when you are scattered in the countries;

“‘Nanso mɛgya mo mu bi, ɛfiri sɛ ebinom bɛdwane akofena ano wɔ ɛberɛ a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.

9 then they of you that escape among the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn [an oath] against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices; ) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.

Na afei wɔ amanaman a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum kɔɔ mu no, wɔn a wɔnyaa wɔn ho firii mu no bɛkae me, sɛdeɛ madi awerɛhoɔ wɔ wɔn awaresɛeɛ akoma a wɔde twee wɔn ho firii me nkyɛn, ne wɔn ani a wɔde nyaa akɔnnɔ bɔne maa wɔn ahoni. Wɔn ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwunu wɔ bɔne ne akyiwadeɛ a wɔayɛ enti.

10 And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.

Wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.

11 Thus says the Lord; Clap with [your] hand, and stamp with [your] foot and say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.

“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mommɔ mo nsam na momfa mo nan mpempem fam na monteam sɛ, “A!” Esiane Israel efie amumuyɛ ne akyiwadeɛ nyinaa enti, wɔbɛwuwu akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano.

12 He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish mine anger upon them.

Ɔyaredɔm bɛkum deɛ ɔwɔ akyirikyiri. Deɛ ɔbɛn no bɛtɔ akofena ano na deɛ ɔbɛfiri mu na waka no, ɛkɔm bɛkum no. Saa na mede mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛyɛ wɔn.

13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under [every] shady tree, where they offered a sweet savor to all their idols.

Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, ɛberɛ a wɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔatotɔ afunu deda wɔn ahoni ntam atwa wɔn afɔrebukyia ho ahyia, wɔ nkokoɔ a ɛkorɔn nyinaa so, mmepɔ atifi nyinaa ne nnua a adendan ne odum frɔmfrɔm ase, mmea mmea a wɔde nnuhwam bɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn ahoni nyinaa.

14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: [and] you shall know that I am the Lord.

Afei mɛtene me nsa wɔ wɔn so na mama asase no ada mpan afiri anweatam no akɔsi Ribla, baabiara a wɔtete. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’”
