< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it was - in the year sixth in the sixth [month] on [day] five of the month I [was] sitting in house my and [the] elders of Judah [were] sitting before me and it fell on me there [the] hand of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Le ƒe adelia ƒe ɣleti adelia me, le ŋkeke atɔ̃lia gbe la, esi menɔ nye aƒe me, esime Yuda ƒe ametsitsiwo nɔ anyi ɖe nye ŋkume la, Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe asi va dzinye le afi ma.
2 And I saw and there! a likeness like [the] appearance of fire [was] from [the] appearance of hips his and downwards fire and [was] from hips his and upwards like [the] appearance of brightness like [the] appearance of shining substance towards.
Mefɔ kɔ dzi, eye mekpɔ nane abe ame ene. Tso eƒe afi si dze abe ali gbɔ ene yi anyigba lɔƒo la le abe dzo bibi ene, eye tso afi ma yi dzi lɔƒo la, eƒe dzedzeme le abe ga keklẽ ene.
3 And he stretched out [the] form of a hand and he took me by [the] hair of head my and it carried me a spirit - between the earth and between the heavens and it brought me Jerusalem towards in visions of God to [the] opening of [the] gate the inner [court] which faces north-ward where [was] there [the] location of [the] idol of jealousy which provokes to jealousy.
Edo nane si le abe asi ene ɖa, eye wolé nye taɖa. Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi yi anyigba kple dziƒo dome, eye le Mawu ƒe ŋutega aɖe me la, ekɔm yi Yerusalem, yi ɖe xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbo anyiehetɔ ƒe mɔnu, afi si legba si nyɔa ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dɔmedzoe le Mawu me la le.
4 And there! [was] there [the] glory of [the] God of Israel like the appearance which I had seen on the plain.
Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe le nye ŋkume le afi ma abe ale si wònɔ le ŋutega si mekpɔ le bali la me ene.
5 And he said to me O son of humankind lift up please eyes your [the] direction north-ward and I lifted up eyes my [the] direction north-ward and there! from [the] north of [the] gate of the altar [the] idol of jealousy this [was] in the entrance.
Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, kpɔ anyiehe lɔƒo.” Mekpɔ afi ma, eye mekpɔ legba si he ŋuʋaʋã vɛ le mɔnu si le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe agbo ƒe anyiehe.
6 And he said to me O son of humankind ¿ seeing [are] you (what [are] they? *Q(K)*) doing abominations great which [the] house of Israel - [are] doing here to be far from at sanctuary my and again you will return you will see abominations great.
Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu si wɔm wolea? Èkpɔ ŋunyɔnu siwo Israel ƒe aƒe la le wɔwɔm le afi sia? Èkpɔ ŋunyɔnu siwo anyam ɖa boo tso nye teƒe kɔkɔe la gbɔa? Ke àgakpɔ nu bubu siwo nyɔ ŋu sãa wu esiawo.”
7 And he brought me to [the] entrance of the court and I saw and there! a hole one [was] in the wall.
Eye wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu la ƒe mɔnu. Melé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, eye mekpɔ do aɖe le gli la me.
8 And he said to me O son of humankind dig please in the wall and I dug in the wall and there! an opening one.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, azɔ la, ku do ɖe gli la me.” Ale meku do ɖe gli la me, eye mekpɔ mɔnu aɖe le afi ma.
9 And he said to me go and see the abominations wicked which they [are] doing here.
Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Yi ɖe eme, eye nàkpɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi kple ŋunyɔnu siwo wole wɔwɔm le afi ma”
10 And I went and I saw and there! every form of creeping thing and animal detestable thing and all [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [was] carved on the wall all around - all around.
Ale meyi, eye mekpɔ be wota nu siwo tana kple lã nyɔŋuwo kple Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe legba ƒomeviwo katã ɖe gliawo ŋu va kpe ɖo.
11 And seventy man from [the] elders of [the] house of Israel and Jaazaniah [the] son of Shaphan [was] standing in midst of them [were] standing before them and everyone censer his [was] in hand his and [the] fragrance of [the] cloud of incense [was] going up.
Ametsitsi blaadre tso Israel ƒe aƒe la me tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋgɔ, eye Yaazania, Safan ƒe vi, nɔ tsitre ɖe wo dome. Ɖe sia ɖe lé sonu ɖe asi, eye dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ƒe babla nɔ dzi dem.
12 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind [that] which [the] elders of [the] house of Israel [are] doing in the darkness everyone in [the] rooms of carved image his for [they are] saying not Yahweh [is] seeing us he has forsaken Yahweh the land.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu si Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe ametsitsiwo le wɔwɔm le viviti la me, wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe le eya ŋutɔ ƒe legba ƒe nɔƒea? Wogblɔ be, ‘Yehowa mele mía kpɔm o; Yehowa gble anyigba la ɖi.’”
13 And he said to me again you will return you will see abominations great which they [are] doing.
Eye wògagblɔ nam be, “Àkpɔ wo woaganɔ nu siwo nyɔ ŋu wu esiawo gɔ̃ hã la wɔm.”
14 And he brought me to [the] entrance of [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh which [was] to the north towards and there! there the women [were] sitting bewailing Tammuz.
Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe agbo si le anyiehe la gbɔ, eye mekpɔ nyɔnuwo wonɔ anyi ɖe afi ma henɔ fafam na Tamuz.
15 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind again you will return you will see abominations great more than these.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia? Èle nu siwo nyɔ ŋu wu esia gɔ̃ hã kpɔ ge.”
16 And he brought me to [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh inner and there! [were at] [the] entrance of [the] temple of Yahweh between the porch and between the altar about twenty and five person[s] backs their [were] to [the] temple of Yahweh and faces their [were] east-ward and they [were] bowing down east-ward to the sun.
Ekplɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe xɔxɔnu emetɔ, eye le afi ma la, ŋutsu abe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ ene nɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu le akpata la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome. Wotrɔ megbe do ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la gbɔ, wodze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe, eye wonɔ ta dem agu na ɣe le ɣedzeƒe.
17 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind ¿ is it [too] trifling for [the] house of Judah for doing the abominations which they have done here that they have filled the land violence and they have returned to provoke to anger me and there they [are] sending the branch to nose their.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia? Nya tsɛe wònye be Yuda ƒe aƒe nanɔ ŋunyɔnu siawo wɔm le afi sia? Ɖe woagana ŋutasesẽ naxɔ anyigba la dzi, eye woanɔ dziku dom nam madzudzɔmadzudzɔea? Kpɔ ale si wotsɔ atilɔ la ɖo ŋɔtinu la ɖa!
18 And also I I will act in rage not it will look with compassion eye my and not I will show pity and they will call out in ears my a voice great and not I will hear them.
Le esia ta la, matu nu kpli wo le dziku me. Nyemakpɔ nublanui na wo loo alo aɖewo o. Togbɔ be woado ɣli ɖe tome nam hã la, nyemaɖo to wo o.”
