Ezekiel 7

1 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

2 "You, son of man, say, 'Thus says YHWH to the land of Israel: An end has come. The end has come on the four quarters of the land.

“Onipa ba, yei ne asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Israel asase no: “‘Awieeɛ no, awieeɛ no aduru asase no ntweaso ɛnan no so!

3 Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

Awieeɛ no aduru wɔ wo so, na mɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so. Mɛgyina wʼabrabɔ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.

4 My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am YHWH.'"

Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Ampa ara mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no, na moahunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’

5 "Thus says YHWH: 'A disaster, a unique disaster; look, it comes.

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Atoyerɛnkyɛm! Atoyerɛnkyɛm a wontee da nam ɛkwan so reba!

6 An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; look, it comes.

Awieeɛ no aba! Awieeɛ no aba! Apagya ne ho atia wo. Aba!

7 Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.

Ɔsɛeɛ aduru mo, mo a mote asase no so. Ɛberɛ no aduru, ɛda no abɛn; huboabɔ ɛberɛ a ɛnyɛ mmepɔ no so ahosɛpɛ.

8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

Merebɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so de awie mʼabufuo a ɛtia wo no. Mɛgyina wo nneyɛɛ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.

9 My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, YHWH, do strike.

Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ, na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me, Awurade, na mebobɔ.

10 Look, the day, look, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.'

“‘Ɛda no nie! Hwɛ aba! Atemmuo da no apue, abaa no afefɛ, ahantan ahanehane!

11 "Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.

Akakabensɛm ayɛ abaa a wɔde twe amumuyɛ aso. Nnipa no mu biara renka, nnipakuo no mu biara, ahonyadeɛ ne deɛ ɛsom bo biara renka.

12 The time has come, the day draws near: do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.

Ɛberɛ no aso! Ɛda no aduru. Mma ɔdetɔfoɔ ani nnnye anaa ɔdetɔnfoɔ werɛ nho, ɛfiri sɛ abufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo no nyinaa so.

13 For the buyer shall not return to the seller while they live. For the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

Deɛ ɔtɔn no nsa renka asase a watɔn no bio wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔn mmienu te ase, Ɛfiri sɛ anisoadehunu a ɛfa nnipakuo no nyinaa no rensesa. Wɔn bɔne enti, wɔn mu baako koraa remfa ne ho nni.

14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.

“‘Ɛwom, wɔhyɛne totorobɛnto, na wɔboaboa biribiara ano deɛ, nanso obiara renkɔ ɔsa, ɛfiri sɛ mʼabufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo no nyinaa so.

15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

Akofena wɔ mfikyire; na ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm wɔ efie. Wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔn a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm bɛkum wɔn.

16 But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

Wɔn a wɔanya wɔn tiri adidi mu na wɔadwane no bɛtena mmepɔ no so. Na wɔakurum te sɛ mmɔnhwa mu mmorɔnoma wɔ wɔn mu biara bɔne enti.

17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

Nsa nyinaa bɛdwodwo na nkotodwe nyinaa ayɛ mmrɛ sɛ nsuo.

18 They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

Wɔbɛfirafira ayitoma na wɔabɔ huboa. Aniwuo bɛkata wɔn anim na wɔayi wɔn tirinwi.

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of YHWH: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

“‘Wɔbɛto wɔn dwetɛ agu mmɔntene so, na wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛho nteɛ. Wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn Awurade abufuhyeɛ ɛda no. Ɛrenkum wɔn kɔm na ɛrenhyɛ wɔn yafunu ma, ɛfiri sɛ ayɛ wɔn suntidua de wɔn akɔ bɔne mu.

20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things. Therefore I will render it an unclean thing to them.

Na wɔde wɔn mpompranneɛ fɛfɛ no hoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔde yeyɛɛ wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ ne nsɛsodeɛ tantane; enti mɛdane yeinom a ɛho nteɛ ama wɔn.

21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.

Mede ne nyinaa bɛma ananafoɔ sɛ afodeɛ na mede ama asase so atirimuɔdenfoɔ sɛ korɔnodeɛ, na wɔbɛgu ho fi.

22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

Mɛyi mʼani afiri wɔn so na akorɔmfoɔ bɛgu beaeɛ a ɛsom me bo ho fi. Wɔbɛwura hɔ na wɔagu ho fi.

23 "Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

“‘Monyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn! Ɛfiri sɛ mogyahwiegu ayɛ asase no so ma, na akakabensɛm ahyɛ kuropɔn no ma.

24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

Mɛma aman no mu otirimuɔdenfoɔ pa ara abɛfa wɔn afie; mɛma ɔhoɔdenfoɔ ahomasoɔ aba awieeɛ, na wɔn kronkrommea ho bɛgu fi.

25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

Sɛ ehu ba a, wɔbɛhwehwɛ asomdwoeɛ akyiri ɛkwan, nanso ɛbɛbɔ wɔn.

26 Disaster shall come upon disaster, and rumor shall follow rumor; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

Atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛdi atoyerɛnkyɛm akyi aba; atesɛm bɛdi atesɛm akyi. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya anisoadehunu afiri odiyifoɔ no hɔ, Ɔsɔfoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa mmara no ho no bɛbɔ wɔn. Saa ara na wɔrennya afotuo mfiri mpanimfoɔ hɔ.

27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am YHWH."

Ɔhene no bɛtwa adwo, ɔheneba no bɛfira abasamutuo, na asase no so nnipa nsa bɛpopo. Me ne wɔn bɛdi no sɛdeɛ wɔn nneyɛɛ teɛ, na mɛgyina wɔn pɛpɛyɛ so abu wɔn atɛn. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
