Jezekiel 9
1 And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn near; and each had the weapons of destruction in his hand.
Afei metee sɛ ɔde nne kɛse teɛ mu se, “Momfa kuropɔn no awɛmfo no mmra ha, a obiara kura akode.”
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the high gate that looks toward the north, and each one's axe was in his hand; and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with a long robe down to the feet, and a sapphire girdle was on his loins: and they came in and stood near the brazen altar.
Mihuu sɛ mmarima baasia fi atifi pon a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam reba, na obiara kura awudi akode. Na ɔbarima bi a ofura nwera na nkyerɛwde kotoku bɔ ne nkyɛn mu ka wɔn ho. Wɔba begyinaa kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka no ho.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel, that was upon them, went up from the cherubs to the porch of the house. And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins;
Na Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam maa ne ho so fi kerubim no so, faako a na anka ɛwɔ no, kɔɔ asɔredan no kwan ano. Afei Awurade frɛɛ ɔbarima a na ofura nwera na nkyerɛwde kotoku bɔ ne nkyɛn mu no
4 And said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them.
ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nantew fa Yerusalem nkuropɔn nyinaa mu na fa agyiraehyɛde keka wɔn a wosu na wodi awerɛhow wɔ akyiwadeyɛ a ɛkɔ so nyinaa ho no moma so.”
5 And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and strike: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy.
Meretie no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a aka no se, “Munni nʼakyi mfa kuropɔn no mu na munkunkum, a monnkyerɛ ahummɔbɔ anaa ɔtema biara.
6 Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go you not near any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house.
Munkunkum nkwakoraa, mmerante ne mmeawa, mmea ne mmofra, nanso mommfa mo nsa nka obi a ɔwɔ agyiraehyɛde no. Mumfi ase wɔ me kronkronbea hɔ.” Enti wɔde mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ asɔredan no anim no fii ase.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and go out and fill the ways with dead bodies, and strike.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mungu asɔredan no ho fi na momfa wɔn a wɔakunkum wɔn no nhyɛ adiwo hɔ ma. Monkɔ!” Enti wɔkɔe, na wofii ase kunkum nnipa wɔ Yerusalem kuropɔn no mu nyinaa.
8 And it came to pass as they were striking, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! will you destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out your wrath upon Jerusalem?
Bere a wɔrekunkum na aka me nko ara no, mibutuw hɔ sui se, “Aa, Otumfo Awurade! Worebɛsɛe Israel nkae yi nyinaa esiane wʼabufuwhyew a aba Yerusalem so yi nti ana?”
9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Juda is become very exceedingly great: for the land is filled with many nations, and the city is filled with iniquity and uncleanness: because they have said, The Lord has forsaken the earth, The Lord looks not upon [it].
Na obuaa me se, “Israelfi ne Yuda amumɔyɛ dɔɔso dodo; mogyahwiegu ahyɛ asase no so ma na ntɛnkyew ahyɛ asase no so ma. Wɔka se, ‘Awurade agyaw asase no; Awurade nhu.’
10 Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads.
Ɛno nti, merenhu wɔn mmɔbɔ na meremma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni, na mɛma nea wɔayɛ no abɔ wɔn ankasa ti so.”
11 And, behold, the man clothed with the long robe, and girded with the girdle about his loins, answered and said, I have done as you did command me.
Afei ɔbarima a ofura nwera na nkyerɛwe ade bɔ ne nkyɛn mu no de nkra bae se, “Mayɛ sɛnea wohyɛe no.”
