Ezekiel 34
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Israel nguanhwɛfo: hyɛ nkɔm na ka kyerɛ wɔn se: Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Nnome nka Israel nguanhwɛfo a wɔhwɛ wɔn ankasa nko ara so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ nguanhwɛfo hwɛ nguankuw no ana?
3 You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
Monom nufusu, mode mmoa no ho nwi fura mo ho na mukum mmoa a wɔadodɔ nanso monhwɛ nguankuw no.
4 You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
Monhyɛɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛw no den, nsaa ayarefo yare na monkyekyeree apirafo akuru. Momfaa wɔn a wɔabɔ ko mmae, na monhwehwɛɛ wɔn a wɔayera. Mode ɔhyɛ ne atirimɔden na ahwɛ wɔn so.
5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
Ɛno nti wɔbɔ ahwete, efisɛ wonni ɔhwɛfo bi, na wɔbɔ ahwete no, wɔbɛyɛɛ hanam maa wuram mmoa nyinaa.
6 My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
Me nguan kyinkyin mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa so. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn petee asase so baabiara, na obiara anhwehwɛ wɔn.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
“Enti, mo nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:
8 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
Nokware, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, esiane sɛ me nguankuw nni ɔhwɛfo nti wɔawiawia wɔn na wɔayɛ hanam ama wuram mmoa, na esiane sɛ nguanhwɛfo no anhwehwɛ me nguan no na mmom wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ankasa ho na wɔtoo me nguan no asaworam
9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
nti, nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:
10 Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne nguanhwɛfo no anya na mɛma wɔabu me nguankuw no ho akontaa. Meremma wɔnhwɛ nguankuw no bio sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenkum nguan no nnwe; megye me nguankuw afi wɔn anom na wɔrenyɛ wɔn aduan bio.
11 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
“‘Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ara mɛhwehwɛ me nguan na mahwɛ wɔn so.
12 As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Sɛnea oguanhwɛfo hwɛ ne nguan a wɔahwete bere a ɔwɔ wɔn nkyɛn no, saa ara na mɛhwɛ me nguan so. Meyi wɔn afi mmeae a wɔhwete kɔɔ wɔ omununkum ne sum kabii da no.
13 And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
Mede wɔn befi amanaman so aba na maboaboa wɔn ano afi nsase so na mede wɔn aba wɔn ankasa asase so. Mɛma wɔadidi wɔ Israel mmepɔw so, subon ne asase no so atenae nyinaa.
14 I feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
Mehwɛ wɔn so wɔ adidibea papa, na Israel mmepɔw atenten so bɛyɛ wɔn adidibea. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛdeda adidibea asase papa so, na hɔ na wɔbɛwe sare frɔmfrɔm wɔ Israel mmepɔw so.
15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Me ara mɛhwɛ me nguan na mama wɔadeda hɔ. Awurade asɛm ni.
16 I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
Mɛhwehwɛ nea wayera na mede nea wabɔ ko asan aba. Mɛkyekyere nea wapira no akuru, na mahyɛ nea ɔyɛ mmerɛw no den, nanso nea wadɔ ne nea ne ho yɛ den no, mɛsɛe wɔn. Mede trenee bɛhwɛ nguankuw no.
17 And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male goats.
“‘Na mo, me nguankuw, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn ne mpapo ne adwennini ntam.
18 Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,
Adidibea papa a mudidi so no, ɛyɛ ade ketewa ma mo ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo anan tiatia mo adidibea a aka no nso so ana? Ɛnsɔ mo ani sɛ monom nsu a ani yɛ kurunnyenn ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo anan fono nkae no ana?
19 And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
Ɛsɛ sɛ me nguankuw di nea moatiatia so na wɔnom nea mode mo anan afon ana?
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
“‘Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ wɔn: Monhwɛ, me ara mebu nguan a wɔadodɔ ne nguan a wɔafonfɔn ntam atɛn.
21 Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
Esiane sɛ, mode mo nkyɛn mu ne mmati puapua nguan a wonni ahoɔden na mode mo mmɛn pempem wɔn kosi sɛ mobɛpam wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nti,
22 Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
megye me nguankuw na wɔremfom wɔn bio. Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn.
23 And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,
Mɛma oguanhwɛfo baako, me somfo Dawid, ahwɛ wɔn so, na ɔbɛyɛn wɔn na wayɛ wɔn hwɛfo.
24 And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
Na me, Awurade, mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn na me somfo Dawid ayɛ wɔn mu obirɛmpɔn. Me Awurade na maka.
25 And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
“‘Me ne wɔn bɛyɛ asomdwoe apam na matɔre nkekaboa ase wɔ asase no so sɛnea wobetumi atena sare so na wɔadeda kwae mu asomdwoe mu.
26 And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers of blessing.
Mehyira wɔn ne mmeae a atwa me pampa ho ahyia. Mɛtɔ obosu wɔ ne bere mu, na ɛbɛyɛ nhyira bosu.
27 And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
Mfuw so nnua bɛsow wɔn aba na asase no nso abɔ nʼaduan. Nnipa no bɛtena wɔn asase so dwoodwoo. Mibubu wɔn konnua na migye wɔn fi wɔn a wɔde wɔn yɛɛ nkoa nsam a wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
28 And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
Amanaman no remfow wɔn bio, na wuram mmoa nso renkyere wɔn nnwe. Wɔbɛtena asomdwoe mu na obiara renhunahuna wɔn.
29 And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
Na mɛma wɔn asase a ɛsow nnɔbae ama agye din, na aduankɔm renne wɔn wɔ asase no so na wɔrenyɛ ahohora mma amanaman no.
30 And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Afei wobehu sɛ me Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne wɔn wɔ hɔ, na wɔn, Israelfi, yɛ me nkurɔfo; Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
31 And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
Mo, me nguan, mʼadidibea nguan yɛ me nkurɔfo, na mene mo Nyankopɔn, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
