1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the year ninth in the month tenth on the ten of the month saying.
Afe a ɛtɔ so nkron no bosome a ɛtɔ so edu no dadu so, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 O son of humankind (write *Q(k)*) yourself [the] name of the day [the] substance of the day this he has leaned [the] king of Babylon to Jerusalem on [the] substance of the day this.
“Onipa ba, twerɛ saa ɛda yi, saa ɛda yi ara, ɛfiri sɛ Babiloniahene atua Yerusalem ɛnnɛ dua yi ara.
3 And speak a parable to [the] house of rebellion a parable and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh put on the pot put on and also pour in it water.
Ka kyerɛ saa atuatefoɔ efie yi, ka no wɔ abɛbuo mu kyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Fa ɛsɛn no si ogya so; fa si so na hwie nsuo gu mu.
4 Gather pieces of meat its into it every piece of meat good thigh and shoulder [the] choicest of [the] bones fill [it].
Fa nankum no gu mu, nankum a ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ no nyinaa, nnyawa ne abasa. Fa nnompe a ɛte apɔ hyɛ no ma;

“‘Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mogyahwiegu kuropɔn no nnue, nnome nka ɛsɛn a awe nnaakye seesei, na deɛ ɛwɔ mu aka mu no! Yiyi nankum no mmaako mmaako firi mu a wommɔ so ntonto.
7 For blood its in [the] midst of it it was on bareness of rock it put it not it poured out it on the ground to cover over it dust.
“‘Mogya a ɔhwie guiɛ no wɔ ne mfimfini: ɔhwie guu ɔbotan wesee so; wanhwie angu fam, baabi a mfuturo bɛkata soɔ.
8 To stir up rage to avenge vengeance I put blood its on bareness of rock to not to be covered.
Sɛ ɛbɛhwanyan abufuhyeɛ ama aweretɔ enti mede ne mogya guu ɔbotan wesee so sɛdeɛ ɛso renkata.
9 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! [the] city of blood also I I will make great the pile.
“‘Enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mogyahwiegu kuropɔn no nnue! Me nso mɛhyehyɛ nnyensin no akɔ sorosoro.
10 Increase the wood kindle the fire complete the meat and mix the seasoning and the bones let them be charred.
Enti hyehyɛ nnyensin no na sɔ ogya no. Noa ɛnam no yie, fa ahwanhwanneɛ fra mu; na ma nnompe no nhye.
11 And set it on burning coals its empty so that it may grow warm and it will be hot bronze its and it will be melted in [the] midst of it uncleanness its it may be consumed rust its.
Afei, fa ɛsɛn hunu si ogyasramma no so kɔsi sɛ ɛbɛdɔ na ayɛ kɔɔ sɛdeɛ emu fi no bɛnane na deɛ ɛwɔ mu no bɛhye asɛeɛ.
12 Toil it has made weary and not it comes out from it [the] great [amount] of rust its in a fire rust its.
Wama ɔbrɛ no nyinaa ayɛ kwa; emu fi dodoɔ no ankɔ, ogya mpo antumi annyi.

“‘Ɛfi a ɛwɔ wo mu no ne aniwudeyɛ. Mebɔɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛhohoro wo ho, nanso woamma ho ɛkwan, wo ho remfi bio kɔsi sɛ mʼabufuhyeɛ a ɛtia woɔ no ano bɛdwo.
14 I Yahweh I have spoken [it is] coming and I will act not I will refrain and not I will have compassion and not I will have pity according to ways your and according to practices your they have judged you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘Me Awurade na maka. Ɛberɛ aso sɛ meyɛ biribi. Merentwentwɛn so; merennya ahummɔborɔ, na merenwogo me ho. Wɔbɛgyina wo suban ne wo nneyɛɛ so abu wo atɛn, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
15 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
16 O son of humankind here I [am] about to take from you [the] desire of eyes your with a blow and not you must lament and not you must weep and not it will come tear[s] your.
“Onipa ba, merebɛbɔ wo fua na mafa adeɛ a wʼani gye ho yie. Nanso ɛntwa adwo, ɛnni awerɛhoɔ na ɛnnte nisuo.

Enti mekasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no anɔpa, na nʼanwummerɛ na me yere wuiɛ. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, meyɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ me no.
19 And they said to me the people ¿ not will you tell to us what? [are] these [things] for us that you [are] doing.

21 Say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to profane sanctuary my [the] pride of strength your [the] desire of eyes your and [the] love of being your and sons your and daughters your whom you have left by the sword they will fall.
Ka kyerɛ Israel efie sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merebɛgu me kronkronbea ho fi; mo banbɔ denden a mode hoahoa mo ho, deɛ mo ani gye ho, adeɛ a mo akoma da so. Mmammarima ne mmammaa a mogyaa wɔn akyi no bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano.

25 And you O son of humankind ¿ not on [the] day take I from them stronghold their [the] joy of splendor their [the] desire of eyes their and [the] uplifting of being their sons their and daughters their.
“Na wo, onipa ba, ɛda a mɛfa wɔn aban denden, wɔn ahosɛpɛ ne animuonyam, adeɛ a wɔn ani gye ho, wɔn akoma so adeɛ, ne wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa nso no,
