Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me O son of humankind [that] which you find eat eat the scroll this and go speak to [the] house of Israel.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di nea wuhu wɔ wʼanim no, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee yi, na afei kɔ na kɔkasa kyerɛ Israelfo.”
2 And I opened mouth my and he caused to eat me the scroll this.
Enti mibuee mʼanom na ɔde nhoma mmobɔwee no maa me dii.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind belly your may you cause to eat and inward parts your may you fill the scroll this which I [am] giving to you and I ate [it]! and it was in mouth my like honey to sweet.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee a mede rema wo yi fa hyɛ wo yafunu ma.” Enti midii na na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwo wɔ mʼanom.
4 And he said to me O son of humankind go go to [the] house of Israel and you will speak with words my to them.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, afei kɔ Israelfo nkyɛn na kɔka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
5 For not to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue you [are] being sent to [the] house of Israel.
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bi a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ anaa ntease nni mu nkyɛn na meresoma wo, mmom meresoma wo Israelfo hɔ.
6 Not - to peoples many deep of lip and heavy of tongue whom not you will understand words their if not to them I had sent you they they will listen to you.
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bebree a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ na ɛyɛ den, wɔn a wonte wɔn kasa ase nkyɛn. Ampa, sɛ mesomaa wo wɔ saa nnipa yi nkyɛn a, anka wotiee wo.
7 And [the] house of Israel not they will be willing to listen to you for not they [are] willing to listen to me for all [the] house of Israel [are] hard of forehead and stern of heart they.
Nanso Israelfo mpɛ sɛ wotie wo, efisɛ wɔmpɛ sɛ wotie me. Israel nyinaa ayɛ komapirim ne asoɔden.
8 Here! I make face your hard corresponding to faces their and forehead your hard corresponding to forehead their.
Ɛno nti mɛma woayɛ asoɔden ne komapirim te sɛ wɔn.
9 Like diamond hard more than flint I make forehead your not you must fear them and not you must be dismayed from faces their for [are] a house of rebellion they.
Mɛyɛ wo moma dennen sɛ apemmo, nea ɛyɛ den sen ɔtwɛrebo. Nsuro wɔn na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo de.”
10 And he said to me O son of humankind all words my which I will speak to you take in heart your and with ears your hear.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, tie me nsɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no yiye na dwene ho wɔ wo koma mu.
11 And go go to the exile[s] to [the] children of people your and you will speak to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh whether they will listen and or they will refrain.
Afei kɔ wo nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ nnommum mu na kasa kyerɛ wɔn. Se wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se,’ sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo.”
12 And it lifted up me a spirit and I heard behind me a sound of rumbling great [be] blessed [the] glory of Yahweh from place its.
Na Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro na metee sɛ nnyigyei dennen bi reworo so wɔ mʼakyi bere a na Awurade anuonyam rema ne ho so wɔ ne gyinabea hɔ no
13 And [the] sound of - [the] wings of the living creatures touching closely each sister its and [the] sound of the wheels close by them and a sound of rumbling great.
Na ɛyɛ nnyigyei a efi ateasefo no ntaban a ɛkeka twiw ho ne nkyimii a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no. Nnyigyei dennen a ɛworo so.
14 And a spirit it lifted up me and it took me and I went bitter in [the] rage of spirit my and [the] hand of Yahweh on me it was strong.
Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro de me kɔɔ baabi, mekɔɔ no nweenwen ne honhom mu abufuw so, a na Awurade tumi yɛ kɛse wɔ me so.
15 And I came to the exile[s] Tel Abib who were dwelling to [the] river of Kebar (and I sat *Q(K)*) they [were] dwelling there and I sat there seven days appalled in midst of them.
Mebaa nnommum a wɔtete Tel Abib a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Kebar no nkyɛn. Na hɔ na me ne wɔn tenaa nnanson, na me ho dwiriw me.
16 And it was from [the] end of seven days. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Nnanson akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
17 O son of humankind a watchman I appoint you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.
“Onipa ba, mayɛ wo ɔwɛmfo ama Israel; ɛno nti tie asɛm a meka no, na bɔ wɔn kɔkɔ a efi me.
18 When say I to wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have warned him and not you have spoken to warn a wicked [person] from way his wicked to preserve alive him that wicked [person] for iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.
Sɛ meka kyerɛ omumɔyɛfo se, ‘Ampa ara wubewu’ na sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ anaasɛ woankasa ankyerɛ no amma wantwe ne ho amfi nʼakwammɔne ho annya nkwa a, saa omumɔyɛfo no bewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
19 And you if you have warned a wicked [person] and not he has turned away from wickedness his and from way his wicked he for iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.
Nanso sɛ wobɔ omumɔyɛfo no kɔkɔ na sɛ wansakra amfi nʼamumɔyɛ anaa nʼakwammɔne ho a, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, nanso na woagye wo ho nkwa.
20 And when turns away a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do injustice and I will put an obstacle before him he he will die if not you warned him for sin his he will die and not they will be remembered (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did and blood his from hand your I will require.
“Bio, sɛ ɔtreneeni dan fi trenee ho kɔyɛ bɔne a, mede hintidua bɛto nʼanim ama no ahwe ase, na wawu. Sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ nti, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu. Adetrenee ahorow a ɔyɛe no, wɔrenkae na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
21 And you if you have warned him a righteous [person] to not to sin a righteous [person] and he not he has sinned certainly he will live for he has been warned and you life your you have delivered.
Nanso sɛ wobɔ ɔtreneeni no kɔkɔ sɛ onnyae bɔneyɛ na ogyae a, obenya nkwa efisɛ otiee kɔkɔbɔ, na wo nso wubegye wo ho nkwa.”
22 And it was on me there [the] hand of Yahweh and he said to me arise go out to the plain and there I will speak with you.
Na Awurade tumi baa me so wɔ hɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na kɔ tataw no so, na hɔ na mɛkasa akyerɛ wo.”
23 And I arose and I went out to the plain and there! there [the] glory of Yahweh [was] standing like the glory which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar and I fell on face my.
Enti mesɔre kɔɔ tataw no so. Na Awurade anuonyam te sɛ nea mihuu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no gyina hɔ, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.
24 And it came in me a spirit and it made stand up me on feet my and he spoke with me and he said to me go shut yourself up in [the] midst of house your.
Afei Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu na ɔmaa me so gyinaa hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ na kɔto wo ho pon mu wɔ wo fi.
25 And you O son of humankind there! people will put on you ropes and they will bind you with them and not you will go out in midst of them.
Na wo, onipa ba, wɔde ntampehama bɛkyekyere wo sɛnea worentumi mpue nkɔ nnipa no mu.
26 And tongue your I will make stick to palate your and you will be dumb and not you will become to them a person [who] reproves for [are] a house of rebellion they.
Na mɛma wo tɛkrɛma atare wʼanom sɛnea wobɛyɛ komm a worentumi nka wɔn anim, efisɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
27 And when speak I with you I will open mouth your and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the [one who] hears - let him hear and the [person] who refrains - let him refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they.
Nanso sɛ mekasa kyerɛ wo a, mebue wʼano ama woaka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni!’ Nea obetie no ma no ntie, na nea ɔmpɛ sɛ otie no mma no ntie; na wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
