< Ezekiel 9 >
1 And he called out in ears my a voice great saying they have drawn near [the] punishments of the city and everyone [the] weapon of destruction his [is] in hand his.
Afei metee sɛ ɔde nne kɛseɛ team sɛ, “Momfa kuropɔn no awɛmfoɔ no mmra ha, a obiara kura akodeɛ.”
2 And there! six men [were] coming - from [the] direction of [the] gate upper which - [is] faced north-ward and everyone [the] weapon of shattering his [was] in hand his and a man one [was] in midst of them clothed linen and [the] writing-case of scribe [was] at hips his and they came and they stood beside [the] altar of bronze.
Mehunuu sɛ mmarimma baasia firi atifi ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam reba, na obiara kura kɔdiawuo akodeɛ. Na ɔbarima bi a ɔfira nwera na atwerɛdeɛ bɔtɔ bɔ ne nkyɛn mu ka wɔn ho. Wɔba bɛgyinaa kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia no ho.
3 And [the] glory of - [the] God of Israel it was taken up from on the cherub which it had been on it to [the] threshold of the house and he called to the man who was clothed the linen whom writing-case of scribe [was] at hips his.
Na Israel Onyankopɔn animuonyam pagyaa ne ho firi Kerubim no so, baabi a na anka ɛwɔ no, kɔɔ asɔredan no ɛkwan ano. Afei Awurade frɛɛ ɔbarima a na ɔfira nwera na atwerɛdeɛ bɔtɔ bɔ ne nkyɛn mu no
4 And he said Yahweh (to him *Q(k)*) pass in [the] midst of the city in [the] midst of Jerusalem and you will mark a mark on [the] foreheads of the people who sigh and who groan on all the abominations which are done in [the] midst of it.
ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nante fa Yerusalem kuropɔn nyinaa mu na fa ahyɛnsodeɛ keka wɔn a wosu na wodi awerɛhoɔ wɔ akyiwadeyɛ a ɛkɔ so nyinaa ho no moma so.”
5 And to these he said in ears my pass in the city after him and strike (not *Q(K)*) let it look with compassion (eye your *Q(K)*) and may not you show pity.
Meretie no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a aka no sɛ, “Monni nʼakyi mfa kuropɔn no mu na monkunkum, a monnkyerɛ ahummɔborɔ anaa tema biara.
6 Old [man] young man and virgin and little one[s] and women you will kill to destruction and to any person whom [is] on him the mark may not you draw near and from sanctuary my you will begin and they began with the men old who [were] before the house.
Monkunkum nkɔkoraa, mmeranteɛ ne mmaayewa, mmaa ne mmɔfra, nanso mommfa mo nsa nka obi a ɔwɔ ahyɛnsodeɛ no. Momfiri aseɛ wɔ me kronkronbea hɔ.” Enti wɔde mpanimfoɔ a wɔwɔ asɔredan no anim no hyɛɛ aseɛ.
7 And he said to them make unclean the house and fill the courts [those] slain go forth and they went forth and they struck in the city.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mongu asɔredan no ho fi na momfa wɔn a wɔakunkum wɔn no nhyɛ adihɔ hɔ ma. Monkɔ!” Enti wɔkɔɔeɛ, na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kunkumm nnipa wɔ Yerusalem kuropɔn no mu nyinaa.
8 And it was when were striking they and [was] remaining I and I fell! on face my and I cried out and I said alas! O Lord Yahweh ¿ about to destroy [are] you all [the] remnant of Israel when pouring out you rage your on Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a wɔrekunkum na aka me nko ara no, mebutuu hɔ suiɛ sɛ, “Aa Otumfoɔ Awurade! Worebɛsɛe Israel nkaeɛfoɔ yi nyinaa ɛsiane wʼabufuhyeɛ a aba Yerusalem soɔ yi enti anaa?”
9 And he said to me [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel and Judah [is] great with muchness muchness and it has been filled the land blood and the city it is full perverseness for they have said he has forsaken Yahweh the land and not Yahweh [is] seeing.
Na ɔbuaa me sɛ, “Israelfoɔ ne Yuda amumuyɛ dɔɔso dodo; mogyahwiegu ahyɛ asase no so ma na ntɛnkyea ahyɛ asase no so ma. Wɔka sɛ, ‘Awurade agya asase no; Awurade nhunu.’
10 And also I not it will look with compassion eye my and not I will show pity conduct their on own head their I will requite.
Ɛno enti, merenhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ na meremma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni, na mɛma deɛ wɔayɛ no abɔ wɔn ankasa tiri so.”
11 And there! the man - clothed of the linen whom the writing-case [was] at hips his [was] bringing back a word saying I have done (according to all that *Q(K)*) you commanded me.
Afei, ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera na atwerɛdeɛ bɔ ne nkyɛn mu no de nkra baeɛ sɛ, “Mayɛ sɛdeɛ wohyɛeɛ no.”
