Ezekiel 11
1 And [the] Spirit lifts me up, and it brings me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, that is facing the east, and behold, at the opening of the gate [are] twenty-five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
Afei, honhom no pagyaa me de me baa Awurade efie ɛpono a ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam no ano. Na mmarima aduonu enum wɔ hɔ, na mehunuu Asur babarima Yaasania ne Benaia babarima Pelatia a wɔyɛ nnipa no ntuanofoɔ.
2 And He says to me, “Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, yeinom ne mmarima a wɔrebɔ pɔ bɔne na wɔtu fo bɔne wɔ kuropɔn yi mu.
3 who are saying, It [is] not near—to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we [are] the flesh.
Wɔka sɛ, ‘Ɛberɛ a wɔde sisi afie nnuru so anaa? Kuropɔn no ayɛ sɛ dadesɛn, ɛnna yɛayɛ ɛnam a dadesɛn no bɔ yɛn ho ban.’
4 Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.”
Ɛno enti hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn. Hyɛ nkɔm onipa ba.”
5 And [the] Spirit of YHWH falls on me, and He says to me, “Say, Thus said YHWH: You have said correctly, O house of Israel, And I have known the steps of your spirit.
Afei, Awurade Honhom baa me so na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ. Menim deɛ moreka, ɛfiri sɛ menim nsusuiɛ a ɛwɔ mo adwene mu.
6 You multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
Moakunkum nnipa bebree wɔ kuropɔn yi mu, na mode afunu ahyɛ ne mmɔntene so ma.
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Your wounded whom you placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And He has brought you out from its midst.
“Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Kuro no yɛ dadesɛn deɛ, nanso emu ɛnam no yɛ nnipa a mode atirimuɔden akunkum wɔn apete hɔ. Ɛno enti, mɛpam mo afiri mu.
8 You have feared a sword, And I bring in a sword against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Mosuro akofena, na ɛno ara na mede bɛba mo so, sei na Awurade seɛ.
9 And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done judgments among you.
Mɛpam mo afiri kuropɔn no mu na mede mo ahyɛ ananafoɔ nsa, na matwe mo aso.
10 You fall by the sword, I judge you on the border of Israel, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Mobɛtotɔ akofena ano, na mɛbu mu atɛn wɔ Israel asase so. Afei, mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
11 It is not for a pot for you, Nor are you for flesh in its midst, I judge you at the border of Israel.
Saa kuropɔn yi remmɔ mo ho ban sɛdeɛ dadesɛn bɔ ɛnam a ɛwɔ mu no ho ban; Mɛbu mo atɛn wɔ Israel asase so.
12 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, For you have not walked in My statutes, And you have not done My judgments, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are around you, you have done!”
Na mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, ɛfiri sɛ, moanni mʼahyɛdeɛ so, moapo me mmara, na deɛ aman a atwa mo ahyia no yɛ no na mo nso moyɛ.”
13 And it comes to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry—a loud voice—and say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, You are making an end of the remnant of Israel.”
Afei ɛberɛ a megu rehyɛ nkɔm no, Benaia babarima Pelatia wuiɛ. Na mede mʼanim butuu fam suu denden sɛ, “Aa Otumfoɔ Awurade, wobɛtɔre Israel nkaeɛfoɔ yi ase koraa anaa?”
14 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
15 “Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, men of your family, and all the house of Israel—all of it—[are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from YHWH;
“Onipa ba, wo nua mmarimma, wɔn a wo ne wɔn yɛ mogya baako ne Israel efie nyinaa, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem kasa fa wɔn ho sɛ, ‘Saa nkurɔfoɔ a wɔkɔɔ nnommum no ne Awurade ntam ɛkwan ware, ɛno enti na wɔde wɔn asase yi ama yɛn sɛ yɛn agyapadeɛ.’”
16 it [is] ours, the land has been given for an inheritance; therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because I put them far off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I am also for a little sanctuary to them, In lands to where they have gone in.
“Ɛno enti ka sɛ, ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛwom sɛ mede wɔn kɔɔ akyirikyiri wɔ amanaman mu, hwetee wɔn guu nsase so deɛ, nanso berɛ tiawa bi mu no, meyɛɛ wɔn kronkronbea wɔ nsase a na wɔwɔ soɔ no so.’
17 Therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which you have been scattered, And I have given the ground of Israel to you.
“Enti ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛboaboa mo ano afiri amanaman no ne nsase a mehwetee mo guu soɔ no asane aba, na mede Israel asase bɛsane ama mo.’
18 And they have gone in there, And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations—out of it.
“Wɔbɛsane aba so na wɔayiyi nsɛsodeɛ tantane ne ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no nyinaa.
19 And I have given one heart to them, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to them.
Mɛma wɔn akoma korɔ na mede honhom foforɔ ahyɛ wɔn mu; mɛyi wɔn akomaden no na mama wɔn akoma a ɛyɛ mmrɛ.
20 So that they walk in My statutes, And keep My judgments, and have done them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God.
Afei wɔbɛdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so na wɔahwɛ akora me mmara yie. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
21 As for those whose heart is going to the heart Of their detestable things and their abominations, I have put their way on their head, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Nanso wɔn a wɔde wɔn akoma ama nsɛsodeɛ tantane ne ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no deɛ, mɛma deɛ wɔayɛ no abɔ wɔn tiri so, sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ.”
22 And the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] alongside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them above.
Afei, Kerubim no ne wɔn ntwahonan trɛtrɛɛ wɔn ntaban mu, na Israel Onyankopɔn animuonyam konkɔnn wɔn so.
23 And the glory of YHWH goes up from off the midst of the city, and stands on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.
Awurade animuonyam pagyaa ne ho firii kuropɔn no mu kɔgyinaa bepɔ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no atifi.
24 And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and brings me to Chaldea, to the expulsion, in a vision, by [the] Spirit of God, and the vision that I have seen goes up from off me;
Honhom no pagyaa me de me baa atukɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no nkyɛn wɔ anisoadehunu a Onyankopɔn Honhom maa me no mu. Afei anisoadeɛ a mehunuiɛ no firii me so kɔɔ soro.
25 and I speak to the expulsion all the matters of YHWH that He has showed me.
Na mekaa biribiara a Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me no kyerɛɛ atukɔfoɔ no.
