Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Israel adiyifoɔ a wɔhyɛ nkɔm seesei. Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim hyɛ nkɔm no sɛ: ‘Montie Awurade asɛm!

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Yei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Nnome nka adiyifoɔ nkwaseafoɔ a wɔdi wɔn ankasa honhom akyi na wɔnhunuu hwee no.

4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

Ao Israelfoɔ, mo adiyifoɔ yi te sɛ mmubuiɛ mu kɔkɔbo.

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the fence for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

Monkɔeɛ sɛ morekɔsiesie afasuo no afaafa a abubu no ama Israel efie, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛtumi agyina pintinn wɔ ɔko no ano, Awurade ɛda no.’

6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say, The LORD saith; and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word should be confirmed.

Wɔn adehunu yɛ atorɔ, na wɔn adebisa yɛ nnaadaa. Wɔka sɛ, ‘Awurade aka sɛ,’ wɔ ɛberɛ a Awurade nsomaa wɔn, nanso wɔhwɛ anim sɛ wɔn nkɔmhyɛ bɛba mu.

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith; albeit I have not spoken?

Sɛ wɔka sɛ, ‘Yei na Awurade seɛ’, wɔ ɛberɛ a menkasaeɛ a, na wɔn anisoadehunu nnyɛ atorɔ? Na wɔn adebisa nso, ɛnnyɛ nnaadaa anaa?

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

“Ɛno enti, sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Mo nsɛm a ɛyɛ atorɔ ne mo nnaadaa anisoadehunu enti, me ne mo anya’, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

9 And mine hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Me nsa bɛtia adiyifoɔ a wɔn anisoadehunu yɛ atorɔ na wɔn abisa yɛ nnaadaa. Wɔremfra me nkurɔfoɔ badwafoɔ mu, na wɔrentwerɛ wɔn din wɔ Israel efie nwoma no mu, na wɔn nan rensi Israel asase so. Na afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Otumfoɔ Awurade.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered [mortar]:

“Esiane sɛ wɔama me nkurɔfoɔ ayera ɛkwan, na wɔka sɛ ‘Asomdwoeɛ’, wɔ ɛberɛ a asomdwoeɛ nni hɔ, na afei, sɛ wɔto ɔfasuo a ɛnni ahoɔden bi a wɔde akaadoo afa so enti,

11 say unto them which daub it with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔka akaadoo no sɛ, ɔfasuo no rebɛbu. Osubrane bɛtɔ, na mɛsoma asukɔtweaa, na mframa a ano yɛ den bɛbɔ.

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

Na sɛ ɔfasuo no bu gu fam a, nnipa remmisa wɔn sɛ, ‘ɛhe na akaadoo a wɔde sraa ho no afa’ anaa?

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

“Ɛno enti, deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Mʼabufuhyeɛ mu, mɛma ahum atu, na mʼabufuo mu no, asukɔtweaa ne osubrane de adesɛeɛ ahoɔden atɔ.

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered: and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Mɛdwiri ɔfasuo a mode akaadoo afa ho no na mabubu agu fam ama ne fapem ho ada hɔ. Sɛ ɔfasuo no hwe ase a, wɔbɛsɛe mo wɔ mu, na mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade.

15 Thus will I accomplish my fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar]; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

Enti mede mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛkɔ ɔfasuo no ne wɔn a wɔde akaadoo sraa ho no so. Mɛka akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔfasuo no nni hɔ bio, na saa ara na wɔn a wɔde akaadoo sraa ho no nni hɔ.

16 [to wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

Wɔyɛ Israel adiyifoɔ a wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm maa Yerusalem na wɔhunuu asomdwoeɛ anisoadeɛ, wɔ ɛberɛ a asomdwoeɛ nni hɔ’, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ.

17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

“Afei, onipa ba, ma wʼani nkɔ wo mmaa a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim hyɛ nkɔm so. Hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn

18 and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of [persons of] every stature to hunt souls! will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

na ka sɛ, ‘Yei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Nnome nka mmaa a wɔpempam ntafowayie dwomfadeɛ hyehyɛ wɔn abakɔn na wɔpempam nkatanimu ntiawa ne atentene kata wɔn anim de sum nnipa afidie. Mobɛsum me nkurɔfoɔ nkwa afidie, na mo deɛ, moakora mo deɛ?

19 And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hearken unto lies.

Moasopa me wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ mu de agye atokoɔ nsabuo kakra bi ne burodo asinasini. Monam atorɔ a modi kyerɛ me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔtie atorɔ so akunkum wɔn a anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔ wuwu, na moama wɔn a anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtena nkwa mu no afa wɔn ho adi.

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.

“‘No enti, yei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Metia mo ntafowayie dwomfadeɛ a mode sum nkurɔfoɔ afidie sɛ nnomaa no, na mɛtete afiri mo abasa so; mɛgyaa nnipa a mosum wɔn afidie sɛ nnomaa no.

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Mɛtete mo nkatanimu no mu afiri mo anim, na magye me nkurɔfoɔ nkwa afiri mo nsam, na morennya wɔn so tumi bio. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.

22 Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

Esiane sɛ mode atorɔ maa teneneefoɔ aba mu buiɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a menhyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhoɔ, na mohyɛɛ amumuyɛfoɔ nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔ so wɔ wɔn akwan bɔne so na moagye wɔn nkwa no

23 therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

enti, morenhunu atorɔ anisoadeɛ bio na mobɛgyae ntafowayie nso. Mɛgye me nkurɔfoɔ afiri mo nsa mu, na afei mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
