Ezekiel 35

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

“Ame vi, trɔ mo ɖe Seir to la gbɔ, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe eŋu,

3 and you have said to it, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against you, And made you a desolation and an astonishment.

eye nàgblɔ be nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Metso ɖe ŋuwò, Seir to la, mado nye asi ɖa ɖe ŋuwò, eye matsɔ wò awɔ aƒedo kple gbegbee.

4 I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

Matrɔ wò duwo woazu aƒedo, eye wò ŋutɔ àzu gbegbe. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

5 Because of your having continuous enmity, And you saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:

“‘Esi nèlé fu nye dukɔ Israelviwo ɖikaɖika tso blema ke, eye nètsɔ wo de asi na yi le esime woƒe tohehe ɖo kɔkɔƒe la,

6 Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Surely I appoint you for blood, And blood pursues you, If you have not hated blood, Blood also pursues you.

eya ta meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe, be matsɔ wò ade asi na ʋukɔkɔɖi, eye wòanɔ wò yome. Esi mèlé fu ʋukɔkɔɖi o ta la, ʋukɔkɔɖi akplɔ wò ɖo.

7 And I have given Mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,

Mawɔ Seir to la aƒedo kple gbegbe, eye maɖe ame siwo vana, gadzona ɖa le wo dzi.

8 And filled his mountains with his wounded, Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.

Mana ame kukuwo nayɔ toawo dzi, ame siwo tsi yi nu la nayɔ wò togbɛwo dzi, wò baliwo me kple wò gbadzaƒewo katã.

9 I make you continuous desolations, And your cities do not return, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

Matsɔ wò awɔ gbegbee ɖika, eye amewo maganɔ wò duwo me o. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

10 Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been there;

“Elabena ègblɔ be, ‘Dukɔ eve kple anyigba eve siawo anye mía tɔwo, eye míaxɔ wo’ togbɔ be nye, Yehowa, menɔ afi ma hã.

11 Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, And I have done according to your anger, And according to your envy, With which you have worked, Because of your hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge you.

Eya ta Aƒetɔ Yehowa ta eƒe agbe be, ‘Mawɔ na mi ɖe dziku kple ŋuʋaʋã si mieɖe fia le miaƒe fuléle wo me nu, eye mana woanyam ne medrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo.

12 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, I have heard all your despisings that you have spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying, A desolation—they were given to us for food.

Ekema mianya be, nye Yehowa mese vlodoamenya siwo katã miegblɔ tso Israel ƒe towo kple togbɛwo ŋuti. Miegblɔ be, “Wozu gbegbe, eye wotsɔ wo na mí be míaɖu.”

13 And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard.

Mieƒo adegbe, tsi tsitre ɖe ŋunye, miegblɔ nya vɔ̃wo bababa ɖe ŋunye, eye mese wo.

14 Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, I make a desolation of you.

Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Esime xexea me katã le aseye tsom la, mana nàzu gbegbe.

15 According to your joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to you—you are a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom—all of it, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”

Esi miekpɔ dzidzɔ esime Israel ƒe aƒe ƒe domenyinu zu gbegbe ta la, nu si mawɔ wòe nye àzu gbegbe, O! Seir to, wò kple Edom blibo la. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.”’”
