< Ezekiel 34 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 O son of humankind prophesy on [the] shepherds of Israel prophesy and you will say to them to the shepherds thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe to! [the] shepherds of Israel who they have been shepherding themselves ¿ not the flock will they shepherd the shepherds.
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Israel nnwanhwɛfoɔ: hyɛ nkɔm na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Nnome nka Israel nnwanhwɛfoɔ a wɔhwɛ wɔn ankasa nko ara so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ hwɛ nnwankuo no anaa?
3 The fat you eat and the wool you clothe yourselves the fat [sheep] you slaughter the flock not you shepherd.
Monom nufosuo, mode mmoa no ho nwi fira mo ho na mokum mmoa a wɔadɔre nanso monhwɛ nnwankuo no.
4 The weak [ones] not you have strengthened and the sick [one] not you have healed and the broken [one] not you have bound up and the strayed [one] not you have brought back and the lost [one] not you have sought and with force you have ruled them and with harshness.
Monhyɛɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛ no den, nsaa ayarefoɔ yadeɛ na monkyekyeree apirafoɔ akuro. Momfaa wɔn a wɔabɔ ko mmaeɛ na monhwehwɛɛ wɔn a wɔayera. Mode ɔhyɛ ne atirimuɔden na ahwɛ wɔn so.
5 And they have been scattered because not a shepherd and they have become food for every animal of the field and they have been scattered.
Ɛno enti wɔbɔ hweteeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔnni hwɛfoɔ, na wɔbɔ hweteeɛ no, wɔbɛyɛɛ hanam maa wiram mmoa nyinaa.
6 They wander flock my on all the mountains and on every hill high and over all [the] surface of the earth they have been scattered flock my and there not [is one who] searches and there not [is one who] seeks.
Me nnwan kyinkyini mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ nyinaa so. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn petee asase so baabiara, na obiara anhwehwɛ wɔn.
7 Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.
“‘Enti, mo nnwanhwɛfoɔ, montie Awurade asɛm:
8 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of - [the] Lord Yahweh if not because has become flock my - prey and they have become flock my food for every animal of the field from not shepherd and not they have searched for shepherds my flock my and they have shepherded the shepherds themselves and flock my not they have shepherded.
Nokorɛm, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, ɛsiane sɛ me nnwankuo nni ɔhwɛfoɔ enti wɔawiawia wɔn na wɔayɛ hanam ama wiram mmoa, na ɛsiane sɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ no anhwehwɛ me nnwan no na mmom wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ankasa ho na wɔtoo me nnwan no asaworam
9 Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.
enti, nnwanhwɛfoɔ, montie Awurade asɛm:
10 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against the shepherds and I will seek flock my from hand their and I will cause to cease them from shepherding a flock and not they will shepherd again the shepherds themselves and I will deliver flock my from mouth their and not they will become for them food.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne nnwanhwɛfoɔ no anya na mɛma wɔabu me nnwankuo no ho akonta. Memma wɔnhwɛ nnwankuo no bio sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenkum nnwan no nnwe; mɛgye me nnwankuo afiri wɔn anom na wɔrenyɛ wɔn aduane bio.
11 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here [am] I I and I will search for flock my and I will seek them.
“‘Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ara mɛhwehwɛ me nnwan na mahwɛ wɔn so.
12 Like [the] seeking of a shepherd flock his on [the] day is he in among flock his separated so I will seek flock my and I will deliver them from all the places where they were scattered there on a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Sɛdeɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ hwɛ ne nnwan a wɔahwete ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ wɔn nkyɛn no, saa ara na mɛhwɛ me nnwan so. Mɛyi wɔn afiri mmea mmea a wɔhwete kɔeɛ wɔ omununkum ne esum ɛda no.
13 And I will bring out them from the peoples and I will gather them from the lands and I will bring them to own land their and I will shepherd them to [the] mountains of Israel in the ravines and in all [the] habitable places of the land.
Mede wɔn bɛfiri amanaman so aba na maboaboa wɔn ano afiri nsase so na mede wɔn aba wɔn ankasa asase so. Mɛma wɔadidi wɔ Israel mmepɔ so, subɔnhwa ne asase no so atenaeɛ nyinaa.
14 In pasture good I will shepherd them and on [the] mountains of [the] height of Israel it will be pastureland their there they will lie down in pastureland good and pasture rich they will graze to [the] mountains of Israel.
Mehwɛ wɔn so wɔ adidibea papa, na Israel mmepɔ atentene so bɛyɛ wɔn adidibea. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛdeda adidibea asase papa so, na ɛhɔ na wɔbɛwe ɛserɛ frɔmfrɔm wɔ Israel mmepɔ so.
15 I I will shepherd flock my and I I will make lie down them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Me ara mɛhwɛ me nnwan na mama wɔadeda hɔ. Awurade asɛm nie.
16 The lost [one] I will seek and the strayed [one] I will bring back and the broken [one] I will bind up and the sick [one] I will make strong and the fat [one] and the strong [one] I will destroy I will shepherd it with justice.
Mɛhwehwɛ deɛ wayera na mede deɛ wabɔ ko asane aba. Mɛkyekyere deɛ wapira no akuro, na mahyɛ deɛ ɔyɛ mmerɛ no den, nanso deɛ wadɔre ne deɛ ne ho yɛ den no, mɛsɛe wɔn. Mede tenenee bɛhwɛ nnwankuo no.
17 And you O flock my thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to judge between a sheep and a sheep and rams and male goats.
“‘Na mo, me nnwankuo, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛbu odwan baako ne ɔfoforɔ ntam atɛn ne mpapo ne nnwennini ntam.
18 ¿ [too] little For you [is] the pasture good [which] you are grazing and [the] rest of pasture your you are trampling with feet your and clearness of waters [which] you are drinking and those [which] are left with feet your you are fouling!
Adidibea papa a modidi soɔ no, ɛyɛ ade ketewa ma mo anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo nan tiatia mo adidibea a aka no nso so anaa? Ɛnsɔ mo ani sɛ monom nsuo a ani yɛ korɔgyenn anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo nan hono nkaeɛ no anaa?
19 And flock my [the] trampling place of feet your they will graze and [the] befouled thing of feet your they will drink.
Ɛsɛ sɛ me nnwankuo di deɛ moatiatia so na wɔnom deɛ mode mo nan ahono anaa?
20 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to them here [am] I I and I will judge between a sheep fat and between a sheep lean.
“‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ wɔn: Monhwɛ, me ara mɛbu nnwan a wɔadɔre ne nnwan a wɔafonfɔn ntam atɛn.
21 Because with side and with shoulder you push and with horns your you thrust at all the weak [ones] until that you have scattered them to the outside.
Esiane sɛ, mode mo nkyɛnmu ne mmatire puapua nnwan a wɔnni ahoɔden na mode mo mmɛn pempem wɔn kɔsi sɛ mobɛpam wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri enti,
22 And I will save flock my and not they will become again prey and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep.
mɛgye me nnwankuo na wɔrenfom wɔn bio. Mɛbu odwan baako ne ɔfoforɔ ntam atɛn.
23 And I will raise up over them a shepherd one and he will shepherd them servant my David he he will shepherd them and he he will become for them a shepherd.
Mɛma odwanhwɛfoɔ baako, me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid, ahwɛ wɔn so, na ɔbɛyɛn wɔn na wayɛ wɔn hwɛfoɔ.
24 And I Yahweh I will become for them God and servant my David [will be] prince in midst of them I Yahweh I have spoken.
Na me, Awurade, mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn na me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ayɛ wɔn mu ɔberempɔn. Me Awurade na maka.
25 And I will make to them a covenant of peace and I will cause to cease animal[s] wild from the land and they will dwell in the wilderness to security and they will sleep in the forests.
“‘Me ne wɔn bɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam na matɔre nkekaboa ase wɔ asase no so sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi atena ɛserɛ so na wɔadeda kwaeɛ mu asomdwoeɛ mu.
26 And I will make them and around hill my a blessing and I will bring down the rain at appropriate time its rains of blessing they will be.
Mɛhyira wɔn ne mmea mmea a atwa me kokoɔ ho ahyia. Mɛtɔ bosuo wɔ ne berɛ mu, na ɛbɛyɛ nhyira bosuo.
27 And it will give [the] tree[s] of the field fruit its and the land it will give produce its and they will be on own land their to security and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when break I [the] bars of yoke their and I will deliver them from [the] hand of those [who] labored by them.
Mfuo so nnua bɛso wɔn aba na asase no nso abɔ nʼaduane. Nnipa no bɛtena wɔn asase so dwoodwoo. Mɛbubu wɔn kɔnnua na magye wɔn afiri wɔn a wɔde wɔn yɛɛ nkoa nsam na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
28 And not they will be again spoil for the nations and [the] animal[s] of the land not it will devour them and they will dwell to security and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
Amanaman no renyɛ wɔn fomfa adeɛ bio, na wiram mmoa nso renkyere wɔn nnwe. Wɔbɛtena asomdwoeɛ mu na obiara renhunahuna wɔn.
29 And I will establish for them a planting place for name and not they will be again [those] gathered of famine in the land and not they will bear again [the] insult of the nations.
Na mɛma wɔn asase a ɛso nnɔbaeɛ ama agye din, na aduanekɔm renne wɔn wɔ asase no so na wɔrenyɛ ahohora mma amanaman no.
30 And they will know that I Yahweh God their [am] with them and they [are] people my [the] house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn ne wɔn wɔ hɔ, na wɔn, Israel efie yɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
31 And you [are] flock my [the] flock of pasture my human[s] you I [am] God your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Mo, me nnwan, mʼadidibea nnwan yɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na mene mo Onyankopɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
