< Ezekiel 38 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani si Gog, a ɛwɔ Magog asase so no so, Mesek ne Tubal obirɛmpɔn no; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal!
na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya. Gog, Mesek ne Tubal birɛmpɔn.
4 And I will turn thee about, and put rings into thy jaws; and I will bring thee forth, thee and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in gorgeous apparel, even a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
Mekyinkyim wo na mede nnarewa asuso wʼabogye mu na mede wo ne wʼasraafo nyinaa, wʼapɔnkɔ, wʼapɔnkɔsotefo a wɔhyehyɛ akotade ne dɔm kɛse a wokurakura akokyɛm akɛse ne nketewa a wɔn nyinaa rehinhim wɔn afoa, apue.
5 Persians, Ethiopians, and Lybians are with them, all of them with shields and helmets.
Persia, Kus ne Put a wɔn nyinaa kurakura nkatabo na wɔhyehyɛ wɔn nnadekyɛw bɛka wɔn ho,
6 Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarmah from the north quarters, and all their hosts, many nations are with thee.
afei Gomer ne nʼasraafo nyinaa ne Bet-Togarma a wofi atifi fam akyirikyiri ne nʼasraafo, aman bebree bɛka wo ho.
7 Be prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou and all thy host that are assembled unto thee, and be thou their leader!
“‘Siesie wo ho, yɛ krado, wo ne nnipakuw a wɔaboaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ wo nkyɛn nyinaa na yɛ wɔn so hwɛfo.
8 After many days shalt thou be appointed over them. In the latter years shalt thou come into a land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel, which had been long desolate; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
Nna bebree akyi no, wobɛtwe atuo. Mfe bi akyi no wobɛko afa asase bi a wafi ɔko mu afi na wɔaboaboa so nnipa afi amanaman so aba Israel mmepɔw a ada mpan akyɛ no so. Wɔde wɔn fi amanaman no mu, na mprempren wɔn nyinaa te asomdwoe mu.
9 Thou shalt go up like a storm, thou shalt come like a cloud, to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many nations with thee.
Wo ne wʼasraafo nyinaa ne aman bebrebe a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn no bɛforo akɔ mo anim sɛ ahum. Mobɛyɛ sɛ omununkum akata asase no so.
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the same time shall thoughts come into thy mind, and thou shalt meditate an evil design,
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Saa da no, nsusuwii bi bɛba wo tirim na wubeguan nhyehyɛe bɔne bi.
11 and shalt say, “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Wobɛka se, “Mɛko afa asase a wɔntoo so nkuraa ho fasu, mɛtow ahyɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asomdwoe na wɔnnwene hwee so, a wɔn mu biara nni ɔfasu, apon ne akyi adaban.
12 to take a spoil and to divide a prey, to turn my hand against the desolated places that have become inhabited, and against a people gathered out of the nations, possessing cattle and goods, dwelling in the heights of the earth.”
Mɛfom na mawia na madan me nsa atia amamfo a nnipa abɛtena so ne nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ano afi amanaman so, nnipa a nyɛmmoa ne aguade abu wɔn so na wɔtete asase no mfimfini no.”
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all the chiefs thereof, shall say to thee, “Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy company to divide a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, and to divide great spoil?”
Seba ne Dedan ne Tarsis aguadifo ne ne nkuraa nyinaa bebisa wo se, “Woaba sɛ worebɛfom ana? Woaboa wo dɔm ano sɛ morebewia na moasoa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, nyɛmmoa ne aguade akɔ na moafa asade bebree abran so ana?”’
14 Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, thou shalt observe it,
“Ɛno nti, onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ Gog se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Saa da no, bere a me nkurɔfo Israelfo te hɔ asomdwoe mu no, woanhu ana?
15 and thou shalt come up from the regions of the North, thou and many nations with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty host;
Wubefi wʼasase so wɔ atifi fam nohɔ tɔnn, wo ne aman bebree a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ so, nnipadɔm kɛse, asraafodɔm a ɛso.
16 thou shalt come up against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land; in the latter days it shall come to pass, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in regard to thee, before their eyes, O Gog!
Mubetu ateɛ akɔ me nkurɔfo Israelfo so te sɛ omununkum a ɛkata asase no so. Nna a ɛbɛba no mu. Gog, mɛma woasɔre atia mʼasase, sɛnea aman no behu me, bere a menam wo so bɛda me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ wɔn anim no.
17 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou not he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days and years, that I would bring thee against them?
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Ɛnyɛ wo ne nea menam mʼasomfo Israel adiyifo so kaa wo ho asɛm nna a atwa mu no ana? Saa bere no, wɔde mfe bebree hyɛɛ nkɔm se mɛma wo so de atia wɔn.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my anger shall ascend in fury.
Eyi ne nea ebesi saa da no. Sɛ Gog tow hyɛ Israel asase so a, mʼabufuwhyew bɛsɔre, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
19 For in my jealousy, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel,
Mʼanem ne mʼabufuwhyew mu, mepae mu ka se, saa bere no asasewosow kɛse bɛba Israel asase so.
20 so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field; and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence; and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Po mu mpataa, wim nnomaa, wuram mmoa, abɔde biara a ɛwea wɔ asase so ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ho bɛpopo wɔ mʼanim. Mmepɔw betutu agu, abotan bedwiriw na afasu nyinaa abubu agu fam.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall all turn their swords against each other,
Mɛfrɛ afoa aba Gog so wɔ me mmepɔw nyinaa so, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni. Wɔde afoa bɛsɔre atia wɔn ho wɔn ho.
22 And I will contend against him with pestilence, and with blood; and overflowing showers, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone, will I rain upon him and his hosts, and the many nations that are with him.
Mede ɔyaredɔm ne mogyahwiegu bebu no atɛn, mehwie osuhweam, mparuwbo, ogya ne sufre a ɛdɛw agu ɔno ne nʼasraafo ne aman bebree a wɔka ne ho no so.
23 Thus will I show myself in my greatness and glory, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Enti mɛda me kɛseyɛ ne me kronkronyɛ adi, na mama amanaman ahu me. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
