Ezekiel 23
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 O son of humankind two women daughters of a mother one they were.
“Onipa ba, mmea baanu a wɔyɛ ɔbea baako mma tenaa ase.
3 And they acted as prostitutes in Egypt in youth their they acted as prostitutes there they were handled breasts their and there they squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti their.
Wɔbɛyɛɛ aguamammɔfo wɔ Misraim, na wɔbɔɔ aguaman fii wɔn mmabaabere mu. Womiamiaa wɔn nufu, wɔberee wɔn mmabaabere mpokua wɔ asase no so.
4 And names their [was] Oholah the old [one] and [was] Oholibah sister her and they belonged to me and they bore sons and daughters and names their [was] Samaria Oholah and [was] Jerusalem Oholibah.
Ɔpanyin no din de Ohola na ne nuabea no nso din de Oholiba. Na wɔyɛ me yerenom na wɔwowoo mmabarima ne mmabea. Ohola ne Samaria na Oholiba nso ne Yerusalem.
5 And she acted as a prostitute Oholah under me and she lusted on lovers her to Assyria [were] warriors.
“Ohola da so ware me no, ɔbɔɔ aguaman; nʼani tu dii nʼapɛfo akyi, Asiriafo, akofo no
6 Clothed of blue governors and officials young men of desire all of them horsemen riders of horses.
a wɔhyehyɛ ntade bibiri, amradofo ne asahene a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmerante a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ na wɔtena apɔnkɔ so.
7 And she gave prostitution her to them [were] [the] choicest of [the] sons of Assyria all of them and by all [those] whom she lusted after by all idols their she made herself unclean.
Ɔne Asiriafo atitiriw bɔɔ aguaman, na ɔsom wɔn a ɔdɔɔ wɔn nyinaa ahoni de guu ne ho fi.
8 And prostitution her since Egypt not she forsook if her they had lain with in youth her and they they had squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti her and they had poured out prostitution their on her.
Wannyae nʼaguamammɔ a ofii ase wɔ Misraim no, bere a ɔyɛ ababaa na mmarima ne no dae, susoo ne mpokua mu na wohwiee wɔn akɔnnɔ guu ne so no.
9 Therefore I gave her in [the] hand of lovers her in [the] hand of [the] people of Assyria whom she had lusted on them.
“Ɛno nti mede no maa nʼadɔfo Asiriafo no a nʼani bere wɔn no.
10 They they uncovered nakedness her sons her and daughters her they took and her with the sword they killed and she became a name to women and judgments they brought about on her.
Wɔbɔɔ no adagyaw, faa ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea kɔe, na wɔde afoa kum no. Ogyee ne din wɔ mmea mu na asotwe baa ne so.
11 And she saw sister her Oholibah and she acted corruptly lust her more than her and prostitution her more than [the] prostitutions of sister her.
“Ne nuabea Oholiba huu eyi nanso nʼakɔnnɔ bɔne ne nʼaguaman sen ne nuabea no de.
12 To [the] sons of Assyria she lusted governors and officials warriors clothed of perfection horsemen riders of horses [were] young men of desire all of them.
Ɔno nso dii Asiriafo no akyi; amradofo ne asahene, akofo a wɔhyehyɛ wɔn ntade, apɔnkɔsotefo a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmerante ahoɔfɛfo.
13 And I saw that she had made herself unclean way one [belonged] to both of them.
Mihuu sɛ ɔno nso guu ne ho fi, wɔn baanu faa ɔkwan koro so.
14 And she added to prostitution her and she saw men of a carved [thing] on the wall [the] images of ([the] Chaldeans *Q(k)*) inscribed with vermilion.
“Na ɔtoaa nʼaguamammɔ no so kɔɔ akyiri. Ohuu mmarima mfoni a wɔakurukyerɛw agu ɔfasu bi ho, Kaldeafo mfoni a wɔde adukɔkɔɔ akrukyerɛw
15 Girded of a waistband on hips their overhung of turbans on heads their [the] appearance of of icers all of them [the] likeness of [the] sons of Babylon Chaldea [was] [the] land of kindred their.
a abɔso bobɔ wɔn asen mu na abotiri bobɔ wɔn ti a wɔn nyinaa te sɛ Babilonia nteaseɛnam mu mpanyimfo a wofi Kaldea.
16 (And she lusted! *Q(K)*) on them to [the] sight of eyes her and she sent messengers to them Chaldea towards.
Ohuu saa mfoni yi, ne kɔn dɔɔ wɔn na ɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kaldea.
17 And they came to her [the] sons of Babylon to a bed of love and they defiled her by prostitution their and she became unclean by them and it was alienated self her from them.
Na Babiloniafo no baa ne nkyɛn ne no bɛdaa ɔdɔ mpa so, na wɔn akɔnnɔ mu no, woguu ne ho fi. Woguu ne ho fi wiee no wɔn ho fonoo no enti ogyaa wɔn.
18 And she uncovered prostitution her and she uncovered nakedness her and it was alienated self my from with her just as it had been alienated self my from with sister her.
Ɔkɔɔ so wɔ nʼaguamammɔ mu, bɔɔ ne ho adagyaw no, migyaw no hɔ sɛnea migyaw ne nuabea no hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ.
19 And she increased prostitution her to remember [the] days of youth her when she acted as a prostitute in [the] land of Egypt.
Na ɔmaa nʼaguamammɔ no kɔɔ so ara de kaee ne mmabaabere a na ɔbɔ aguaman wɔ Misraim no.
20 And she lusted! on paramours their whom [was the] flesh of donkeys flesh their and [was the] ejaculation of horses ejaculation their.
Ɛhɔ na ɔne nʼadɔfo a wɔn barima te sɛ mfurum de na wɔn ho nsu te sɛ apɔnkɔ de no bɔɔ aguaman.
21 And you sought [the] licentiousness of youth your when squeezed since Egypt nipples your on account of [the] breasts of youth your.
Na wo kɔn dɔɔ wo mmabun mu akɔnnɔ bɔne no, nea woyɛɛ wɔ Misraim a wɔsrasraa wo koko mu na womiamiaa wo mpokua no.
22 Therefore O Oholibah thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse lovers your on you [those] whom it was alienated self your from them and I will bring them on you from round about.
“Ɛno nti, Oholiba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mɛhwanyan wʼadɔfo atia wo, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo wo ma wugyaw wɔn hɔ no; mede wɔn befi afanan nyinaa abetia wo.
23 [the] people of Babylon and all [the] Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa all [the] people of Assyria with them young men of desire governors and officials all of of them icers and called [ones] riders of horses all of them.
Babiloniafo ne Kaldeafo nyinaa, Pekod, Soa ne Koa mmarima, Asiriafo no ne wɔn bɛba, mmerante ahoɔfɛfo a wɔn nyinaa yɛ amradofo, asahene, nteaseɛnam ho adwumayɛfo ne mmarima a wokura dibea akɛse a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ so.
24 And they will come on you weapon[s] chariot[s] and wheel[s] and with a company of peoples body shield and shield and helmet they will set up on you all around and I will set before them judgment and they will judge you by judgments their.
Wɔde akode, nteaseɛnam ahorow ne nnipadɔm bɛba abetia wo; wɔde akokyɛm akɛse ne nketewa ne dade kyɛw bɛka wo ahyɛ. Mede wo bɛhyɛ wɔn nsa, na wɔagyina wɔn nhyehyɛe so atwe wo aso.
25 And I will set jealousy my on you and they will deal with with you in rage nose your and ears your they will remove and remainder your by the sword it will fall they sons your and daughters your they will take and remainder your it will be consumed by fire.
Mɛdan me ninkunu abufuw no akyerɛ wo so, na wɔne wo bedi no anibere so. Wobetwitwa mo hwene ne mo aso, na wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Wɔbɛfa mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea akɔ, na mo a moaka no wɔde ogya ahyew mo.
26 And they will strip off you clothes your and they will take away [the] articles of beauty your.
Wɔbɛpa wo ho ntama nso na wɔafa wo nnwinne.
27 And I will cause to cease licentiousness your from you and prostitution your from [the] land of Egypt and not you will lift up eyes your to them and Egypt not you will remember again.
Ɛno nti mɛma wʼakɔnnɔ bɔne ne aguamammɔ a wufii ase wɔ Misraim no aba nʼawie. Wo kɔn rennɔ saa nneɛma yi, na worenkae Misraim bio.
28 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give you in [the] hand of [those] whom you hate in [the] hand of [those] whom it has been alienated self your from them.
“Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede wo rebɛhyɛ wʼatamfo nsa, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo wo ma wugyaw wɔn no.
29 And they will deal with with you in hatred and they will take all property your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness and it will be uncovered [the] nakedness of prostitutions your and licentiousness your and prostitution your.
Wɔde ɔtan ne wo bedi, na wɔafa nea woayɛ adwuma apɛ nyinaa. Wobegyaw wo adagyaw ne kwaterekwa, na wʼaguamammɔ ho aniwu no bɛda adi. Wʼaniwude ne wʼaguamansɛm no
30 They have done these [things] to you because acted as a prostitute you after nations on that you made yourself unclean by idols their.
na ɛde eyinom aba wo so, efisɛ wo kɔn dɔɔ amanaman no na wode wɔn ahoni guu wo ho fi.
31 In [the] way of sister your you have walked and I will put cup her in hand your.
Woayɛ nea wo nuabea yɛɛ no bi; na ɛno nti mede ne kuruwa bɛhyɛ wo nsa.
32 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] cup of sister your you will drink deep and wide it will become laughter and mockery much to contain.
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Wobɛnom wo nuabea kuruwa ano, kuruwa a ɛso na mu dɔ; ɛde fɛwdi ne ahohora bɛba, efisɛ nea ɛwɔ mu dɔɔso.
33 Drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled [is] a cup of horror and desolation [the] cup of sister your Samaria.
Nsabow ne awerɛhow bɛhyɛ wo ma, ɔsɛe ne asaworamto kuruwa no, wo nuabea Samaria kuruwa no bɛhyɛ wo ma.
34 And you will drink it and you will drain [it] and fragments its you will break and breasts your you will tear out for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Wobɛnom a hwee renka mu: na woawe nʼasinasin no na woasunsuan wo mpokua mu. Me na maka, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
35 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because you have forgotten me and you have thrown me behind back your and also you bear licentiousness your and prostitution your.
“Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Esiane sɛ wo werɛ afi me, na woatow me akyene wʼakyi nti, ɛsɛ sɛ wunya wʼaniwude ne wʼaguamammɔ so akatua.”
36 And he said Yahweh to me O son of humankind ¿ will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare to them abominations their.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, wubebu Ohola ne Oholiba atɛn ana? Ɛno de, fa wɔn akyiwadeyɛ no si wɔn anim,
37 For they have committed adultery and blood [is] on hands their and with idols their they have committed adultery and also children their whom they bore to me they made pass through to them to food.
efisɛ wɔasɛe aware, na mogya wɔ wɔn nsa ho. Wɔde wɔn ahoni na ɛsɛee aware no; na mpo wɔde wɔn mma a wɔwoo wɔn maa me no bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn sɛ wɔn aduan.
38 Again this they have done to me they have made unclean sanctuary my on the day that and sabbaths my they have profaned.
Wɔde eyi nso ayɛ me: Saa bere koro no ara mu, woguu me kronkronbea ne me homenna ho fi.
39 And when had slaughtered they children their to idols their and they went into sanctuary my on the day that to profane it and there! thus they did in [the] midst of house my.
Da a wɔde wɔn mma bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn ahoni no ara, wɔhyɛn me kronkronbea hɔ koguu ho fi. Eyi na wɔyɛɛ wɔ me fi.
40 And also for they sent for men [who] come from a distance whom a messenger [was] sent to them and there! they came for whom you bathed you painted eyes your and you put on ornament[s].
“Wɔsomaa abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ mmarima a wofi akyirikyiri bae, na wobedui no, muguare, kekaa mo ani akyi, de mo adwinne hyehyɛɛ mo ho maa wɔn.
41 And you sat on a couch glorious and a table [was] arranged before it and incense my and oil my you put on it.
Motenaa akongua papa bi a wɔde ɔpon a wɔasɛw so asi anim, ɛso na mode nnuhuam ne ngo a anka ɛyɛ me de no sisii.
42 And [the] sound of a multitude at ease [was] in her and to men from [the] multitude of humankind [were] brought (Sabeans *Q(K)*) from [the] wilderness and they put bracelets to hands their and a crown of beauty on heads their.
“Na hooyɛ a efi nnipakuw bi a hwee mfa wɔn ho atwa ne ho ahyia. Wɔde Sabeafo fi sare no so ne mmarima a wofi dɔm no mu bae, na wɔde nkapo hyehyɛɛ ɔbea no ne ne nua no nsa, na wɔhyɛɛ wɔn ahenkyɛw a ɛyɛ fɛ.
43 And I said of the [woman] worn out adulteries (now they will act as a prostitutes *Q(K)*) prostitution her and she.
Na meka faa nea aguamammɔ ama watetew no ho se, ‘Momma wɔnnyɛ no sɛ oguamanfo, efisɛ saa ara pɛ na ɔte.’
44 And he went into her as goes into a woman a prostitute so they went into Oholah and into Oholibah [the] women of licentiousness.
Na wɔne no dae. Sɛnea mmarima ne oguamanfo da no, saa ara na wɔne saa mmea a wɔn ho yɛ aniwu no, Ohola ne Oholiba dae.
45 And people righteous they they will judge them judgment of adulteresses and judgment of [women who] shed blood for [are] adulteresses they and blood [is] on hands their.
Nanso atemmufo atreneefo de asotwe a wɔde ma mmea a wɔsɛe aware na wɔka mogya gu no bɛma wɔn, efisɛ wɔyɛ nguamanfo na wɔn nsa ho wɔ mogya.
46 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh bring up on them a company and give over them to terror and to spoil.
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Fa nnipadɔm bra betia wɔn na ma ahunahuna ne ɔfom mmra wɔn so.
47 And they will stone on them stone[s] [the] company and they will cut down them with swords their sons their and daughters their they will kill and houses their with fire they will burn.
Nnipakuw no besiw wɔn abo na wɔde wɔn afoa bɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so. Wobekunkum wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea na wɔahyew wɔn afi.
48 And I will cause to cease licentiousness from the land and they will be warned all the women and not they will do like licentiousness your.
“Ɛno nti mɛma aniwu nneyɛe aba awiei wɔ asase no so na abɔ mmaa nyinaa kɔkɔ na wɔansua mo.
49 And people will requite licentiousness your to you and [the] sins of idols your you will bear and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
Wubenya wʼaniwude so asotwe na woanya abosonsom ho bɔne so akatua. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Otumfo Awurade no.”
