< Ezekiel 35 >
1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came 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 tell it, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make 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 will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
Matrɔ wò duwo woazu aƒedo, eye wò ŋutɔ àzu gbegbe. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’
5 "'"Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power 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," says Jehovah, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue 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 Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
Mawɔ Seir to la aƒedo kple gbegbe, eye maɖe ame siwo vana, gadzona ɖa le wo dzi.
8 I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.
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 will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
Matsɔ wò awɔ gbegbee ɖika, eye amewo maganɔ wò duwo me o. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’
10 "'"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it'; whereas Jehovah was 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," says Jehovah, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall 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 You shall know that I, Jehovah, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they have been given us to devour.
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 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."
Mieƒo adegbe, tsi tsitre ɖe ŋunye, miegblɔ nya vɔ̃wo bababa ɖe ŋunye, eye mese wo.
14 Thus says Jehovah: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Esime xexea me katã le aseye tsom la, mana nàzu gbegbe.
15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."'"
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.”’”
