Ezekiel 11
1 And it lifted up me a spirit and it brought me to [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh eastern which faces east-ward and there! [were] at [the] entrance of the gate twenty and five man and I saw in midst of them Jaazaniah [the] son of Azzur and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah [the] leaders of the people.
Tete Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi, eye wòkɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nu. Ŋutsu blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ wonɔ agbo la nu, eye mekpɔ Yazania, Azur ƒe vi kple Pelatia, Benaya ƒe vi, ameawo nunɔlawo le ameawo dome.
2 And he said to me O son of humankind these [are] the people who plan wickedness and who counsel counsel of evil in the city this.
Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ame siawoe le nugbe ɖom ɖe dua ŋu, eye wole aɖaŋu vɔ̃ ɖom na amewo le dua me.
3 Who say not [is] in [the] near [future] to build houses it [is] the pot and we [are] the meat.
Wogblɔna be, ‘Menye ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe koe susɔ woatu xɔwo oa?’ Du sia nye nuɖaze aɖe, eye míawoe nye lã la.
4 Therefore prophesy on them prophesy O son of humankind.
Eya ta migblɔ nya ɖi ɖe wo ŋu; ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi.”
5 And it fell on me [the] spirit of Yahweh and he said to me say thus he says Yahweh thus you have said O house of Israel and [the] thoughts of spirit your I I know it.
Tete Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va dzinye, eye wògblɔ nam be magblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: nya ma gblɔm miele, O! Israel ƒe aƒe, ke menya nu siwo le miaƒe susu me.
6 You have multiplied slain [ones] your in the city this and you have filled streets its [the] slain.
Miewu ame geɖewo le du sia me, eye miaƒe ablɔwo dzi yɔ fũu kple ame kukuwo.
7 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh slain [ones] your which you have put in [the] midst of it they [are] the meat and it [is] the pot and you he will bring out from [the] midst of it.
“Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ame kuku siwo mietsɔ ƒu gbe ɖe afi ma lae nye lã la, eye du siae nye nuɖaze la, gake manya mi do goe le dua me.
8 A sword you have feared and a sword I will bring on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Mievɔ̃a yi, eye yie nye nu si matsɔ ɖe mia ŋu.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
9 And I will bring out you from [the] midst of it and I will give you in [the] hand of strangers and I will bring about on you judgments.
Manya mi do goe le dua me, ahatsɔ mi ade asi na amedzrowo, eye mahe to na mi.
10 By the sword you will fall on [the] territory of Israel I will judge you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Miatsi yi nu, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi le Israel ƒe liƒowo dzi. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.
11 It not it will become for you a pot and you you will become in [the] midst of it meat to [the] border of Israel I will judge you.
Du sia manye nuɖaze na mi o alo mianye lã le eme o. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi le Israel ƒe liƒowo dzi,
12 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have done and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you you have done.
eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, elabena miezɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu alo wɔ nye sewo dzi o, ke boŋ miewɔa nu siwo dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la wɔna.”
13 And it was when prophesied I and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah he died and I fell on face my and I cried out a voice great and I said alas! O Lord Yahweh complete destruction [are] you? making with [the] remnant of Israel.
Azɔ la, esi menɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, Pelatia, Benaya ƒe vi ku. Tete metsyɔ mo anyi hedo ɣli sesĩe be, “A! Aƒetɔ Yehowa! Ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo keŋkeŋua?”
14 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
15 O son of humankind brothers your brothers your [the] people of redemption your and all [the] house of Israel all of it whom they said to them [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem be distant from with Yahweh to us it it has been given the land to a possession.
“Ame vi, nɔviwò siwo nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu le aboyome kpli wò kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la ŋue Yerusalemtɔwo gblɔ le be, ‘Wole adzɔge ke tso Yehowa gbɔ; wotsɔ anyigba sia na mí be wòanye míatɔ.’”
16 Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh that I have removed far away them among the nations and that I have scattered them among the lands and I have become for them a sanctuary a little in the lands where they have gone there.
“Eya ta gblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si: togbɔ be meɖo wo ɖe didiƒe, ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye mekaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi hã la, menye sitsoƒe na wo ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe le anyigba siwo dzi woyi.’
17 Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will gather you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will give to you [the] land of Israel.
“Eya ta gblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Maƒo mia nu ƒu tso dukɔawo dome, makplɔ mi agbɔe tso anyigba siwo dzi wokaka mi ɖo, eye magatsɔ Israel ƒe anyigba ana mi.’
18 And they will come there towards and they will remove all detestable things its and all abominations its from it.
“Woagbugbɔ va edzi, eye woaɖe eƒe aklamakpakpɛ maɖinuwo katã kple legba nyɔŋuwo katã ɖa.
19 And I will give to them a heart one and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh their and I will give to them a heart of flesh.
Mana dzi si to mɔ ɖeka wo, eye made gbɔgbɔ yeye wo me. Maɖe kpedzi la ɖa le wo me, eye mana lãkusidzi wo.
20 So that in statutes my they may walk and judgments my they may keep and they will do them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
Ekema woalé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye woakpɔ egbɔ be, yewowɔ nye seawo dzi. Woanye nye amewo, eye manye woƒe Mawu.
21 And to [the] heart of detestable things their and abominations their heart their [is] going conduct their on own head their I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Ke ame siwo ƒe dzi ku ɖe woƒe aklamakpakpɛ maɖinuwo kple legba nyɔŋuwo ŋu la, mana nu siwo wowɔ la nava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
22 And they lifted up the cherubim wings their and the wheels [were] close by them and [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] above them from to above.
Tete kerubiawo keke woƒe aʋalawo esime tasiaɖamfɔtiawo nɔ wo xa, eye Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nɔ wo tame.
23 And it went up [the] glory of Yahweh from over [the] middle of the city and it stood still over the mountain which [was] from [the] east of the city.
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yi dzi tso dua me, eye wòtɔ ɖe to si le dua ƒe ɣedzeƒe la tame.
24 And a spirit it lifted up me and it brought me Chaldea towards to the exile[s] in the vision by [the] spirit of God and it went up from on me the vision which I had seen.
Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi hedam ɖe aboyome siwo nɔ Babilonia la dome le ŋutega si Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ na mekpɔ la me. Tete ŋutega si mekpɔ la, dzo le gbɔnye,
25 And I spoke to the exile[s] all [the] words of Yahweh which he had shown me.
eye megblɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖe fiam la na aboyomeawo.
