Ezekiel 28
1 The word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says YHWH: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
“Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Tiro sodifo no se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Wufi wʼahantan koma mu ka se, “Meyɛ onyame; mete onyame bi ahengua so wɔ po mfimfini.” Nanso woyɛ onipa, wonyɛ onyame, ɛwɔ mu, wudwen sɛ wunim nyansa sɛ onyame bi.
3 look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
Wunim nyansa sen Daniel ana? Wunim kokoamsɛm biara ana?
4 by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
Wonam wo nyansa ne nhumu so anya ahode ama wo ho, woapɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bebree agu wʼadekoradan mu.
5 by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
Wonam wʼaguadi mu nyansa so ama wʼahonya adɔɔso, na wʼahonya nti woahoran wɔ wo koma mu.
6 therefore thus says YHWH: "Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
“‘Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Esiane sɛ wudwen sɛ wunim nyansa te sɛ Onyame nti,
7 therefore, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
mede ananafo reba abetia wo, amanaman no mu ɔdesɛefo pa ara; wɔbɛtwetwe wɔn afoa wɔ wʼahoɔfɛ ne wo nyansa so na wɔahwirew wʼanuonyam no.
8 They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
Wɔde wo bɛto amoa no mu, na wubewu owu yaayaw wɔ ɛpo mfimfini.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Afei wobɛka se, “Meyɛ onyame,” wɔ wɔn a wokum wo no anim ana? Wobɛyɛ onipa na ɛnyɛ onyame, wɔ wɔn a wokum wo no nsam.
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says YHWH.'"
Wubewu momonotofo wu wɔ ananafo nsam. Me na maka, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says YHWH: "You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Onipa ba, ma kwadwom a ɛfa Tirohene ho so na ka kyerɛ no se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Na anka woyɛ pɛyɛ nhwɛso, na wowɔ nyansa na woyɛ ahoɔfɛdua.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
Na anka wowɔ Eden Onyankopɔn turo no mu. Wɔde abohemaa nyinaa siesie wo: bogyanambo, akraatebo ne bɔwerɛbo sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo, hoabo, nsrammabo ne ahabammono bo; wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ na ayɛ wʼahyehyɛde, wosiesiee ne nyinaa da a wɔbɔɔ wo.
14 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Wɔsraa wo ngo sɛ ɔhwɛfo kerub, efisɛ saa na mehyɛɛ wo. Na wowɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔw kronkron no so; wonantew ogya abo mu.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Na anka wʼakwan ho nni asɛm efi da a wɔbɔɔ wo no kosii sɛ wohuu amumɔyɛ wɔ wo mu.
16 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Wʼaguadi a mu trɛw no nti wɔde akakabensɛm hyɛɛ wo ma na woyɛɛ bɔne. Ɛno nti mepam wo fii Onyankopɔn bepɔw no so wɔ animguase mu, na miyii wo adi, ɔhwɛfo kerub, fii ogya abo no mu.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
Wohyerɛn wɔ wo koma mu wʼahoɔfɛ nti na womaa wo nyansa porɔwee, wʼanuonyam no nti. Enti metow wo kyenee fam; na mede wo yɛɛ ahwɛde wɔ ahemfo anim.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
Wode wo nnebɔne ne aguadi mu asisi agu wo kronkrommea ho fi ɛno nti memaa ogya fii wo mu na ɛhyew wo, na memaa wo dan nsõ wɔ fam wɔ wɔn a na wɔrehwɛ no nyinaa anim.
19 All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
Aman a na wonim wo nyinaa ho adwiriw wɔn wɔ wo ho: wʼawiei ayɛ ahometew na wɔrenhu wo bio.’”
20 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
21 "Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Sidon na hyɛ nkɔm tia no
22 and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Me ne wo anya, Sidon na mɛda mʼanuonyam adi wɔ mo mu. Wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no, bere a mede asotwe aba ne so na mada me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ ne mu no.
23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
Mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba ne so na mama mogya ateɛ wɔ ne mmɔnten so. Apirafo bɛtotɔ wɔ ne mu, bere a afoa redi ahim wɔ ne ho nyinaa. Afei na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
24 "'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'
“‘Na Israelfo rennya yɔnkonom a wɔwɔ adwemmɔne, wɔn a wɔwowɔ yayaayaw sɛ ohwirem ne nsɔe bio. Afei na wobehu sɛ mene Otumfo Awurade no.
25 "Thus says YHWH: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Sɛ meboa Israelfo ano fi aman a wabɔ wɔn apete no so a, mɛda me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ wɔn mu, ama amanaman no ahu. Afei wɔbɛtena wɔn ankasa asase a mede maa me somfo Yakob no so.
26 They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am YHWH their God.'"
Wɔbɛtena hɔ asomdwoe mu na wobesisi adan, ayeyɛ bobe nturo; Wɔbɛtena ase asomdwoe mu wɔ bere a matwe ne yɔnkonom a wɔkasa tiaa no no nyinaa aso. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no.’”
