Ezekiel 34

1 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:

2 "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, 'Thus says YHWH: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves. Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?

“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 clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.

Monom nufusu, mode mmoa no ho nwi fura mo ho na mukum mmoa a wɔadodɔ nanso monhwɛ nguankuw no.

4 You haven't strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.

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 They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field.

Ɛno nti wɔbɔ ahwete, efisɛ wonni ɔhwɛfo bi, na wɔbɔ ahwete no, wɔbɛyɛɛ hanam maa wuram mmoa nyinaa.

6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought."'

Me nguan kyinkyin mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa so. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn petee asase so baabiara, na obiara anhwehwɛ wɔn.

7 "'"Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of YHWH:

“Enti, mo nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:

8 'As I live,' says YHWH, 'surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep';

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, you shepherds, hear the word of YHWH:

nti, nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:

10 Thus says YHWH: 'Look, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for 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 says YHWH: "Look, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

“‘Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ara mɛhwehwɛ me nguan na mahwɛ wɔn so.

12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

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 I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

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 will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the 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 myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says YHWH.

Me ara mɛhwɛ me nguan na mama wɔadeda hɔ. Awurade asɛm ni.

16 "I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice."

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 "'As for you, O my flock, thus says YHWH: "Look, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

“‘Na mo, me nguankuw, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn ne mpapo ne adwennini ntam.

18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue 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 As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet."

Ɛsɛ sɛ me nguankuw di nea moatiatia so na wɔnom nea mode mo anan afon ana?

20 "'Therefore thus says YHWH to them: "Look, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the 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 with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;

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 will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

megye me nguankuw na wɔremfom wɔn bio. Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn.

23 I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

Mɛma oguanhwɛfo baako, me somfo Dawid, ahwɛ wɔn so, na ɔbɛyɛn wɔn na wayɛ wɔn hwɛfo.

24 I, YHWH, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them;" I, YHWH, have spoken it.

Na me, Awurade, mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn na me somfo Dawid ayɛ wɔn mu obirɛmpɔn. Me Awurade na maka.

25 "'I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

“‘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 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.

Mehyira wɔn ne mmeae a atwa me pampa ho ahyia. Mɛtɔ obosu wɔ ne bere mu, na ɛbɛyɛ nhyira bosu.

27 The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of 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 They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

Amanaman no remfow wɔn bio, na wuram mmoa nso renkyere wɔn nnwe. Wɔbɛtena asomdwoe mu na obiara renhunahuna wɔn.

29 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.

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 They shall know that I, YHWH, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people," says YHWH.

Afei wobehu sɛ me Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne wɔn wɔ hɔ, na wɔn, Israelfi, yɛ me nkurɔfo; Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

31 "You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God," says YHWH.'"

Mo, me nguan, mʼadidibea nguan yɛ me nkurɔfo, na mene mo Nyankopɔn, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
