Ezekiel 7
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
2 “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
“Onipa ba, eyi ne asɛm a Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ Israel asase no: “‘Awiei no! Awiei no adu asase no ntwea anan no so.
3 [people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
Awiei no adu wɔ wo so, na mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu wo so. Megyina wʼabrabɔ so abu wo atɛn na matua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛe bɔne nyinaa ho.
4 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
Merenhu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Ampa ara metua wo ka wɔ wo suban ne nneyɛe bɔne a ɛwɔ wo mu no ho, na moahu sɛ mene Awurade.’
5 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Atoyerɛnkyɛm! Atoyerɛnkyɛm a wontee da nam kwan so reba.
6 This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
Awiei no aba! Awiei no aba! Ama ne ho so atia wo. Aba!
7 It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
Ɔsɛe aba mo so, aba mo a mote asase no so no so. Bere no adu, da no abɛn; huboabɔ a ɛnyɛ mmepɔw so ahosɛpɛw.
8 I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
Merebehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu wo so de awie mʼabufuw a etia wo no. Megyina wo nneyɛe so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo nneyɛe bɔne nyinaa so ka.
9 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
Merenhu wo mmɔbɔ, na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Metua wo ka wɔ wo suban ne nneyɛe bɔne a ɛwɔ wo mu no ho. Afei mubehu sɛ me, Awurade, na mebobɔ mo.
10 The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
“‘Da no ni; hwɛ, aba! Atemmuda no apue, abaa no afefɛw, ahantan ahaahan!
11 People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
Kitikitiyɛ asɔre, abaa a wɔde twe amumɔyɛ aso. Ɛrenka nnipa no mu biara, dɔm no mu biara, ahonyade ne nea ɛsom bo biara renka.
12 Now is the time; that day has arrived.
Bere no aso, da no adu. Mma adetɔni ani nnye anaa ɔdetɔnfo werɛ nhow, efisɛ abufuwhyew wɔ nnipadɔm no nyinaa so.
13 People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
Nea ɔtɔn no nsa renka asase a watɔn no bio wɔ bere a wɔn baanu te ase, efisɛ anisoadehu a ɛfa nnipadɔm no nyinaa ho no rensesa. Wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn mu baako koraa remfa ne ho nni.
14 Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
“‘Wɔahyɛn akobɛn no, na wɔboaboa biribiara ano de, nanso obiara renkɔ ɔsa, efisɛ mʼabufuwhyew wɔ nnipakuw no nyinaa so.
15 [When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
Afoa wɔ mfikyiri na ɔyaredɔm ne ɔkɔm wɔ fie; wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Wɔn a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔyaredɔm ne ɔkɔm bekum wɔn.
16 Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
Wɔn a wɔanya wɔn ti adidi mu na wɔaguan no bɛtena mmepɔw no so. Na wɔakurum te sɛ aku mu mmorɔnoma, wɔn mu biara bɔne nti.
17 [Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
Nsa nyinaa bedwudwo na nkotodwe nyinaa ayɛ mmrɛw sɛ nsu.
18 They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
Wobefurafura atweaatam na wɔabɔ huboa. Aniwu bɛkata wɔn anim na wɔayi wɔn tinwi.
19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
“‘Wɔbɛtow wɔn dwetɛ agu mmɔnten so, na wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ ade a ɛho ntew. Wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn Awurade abufuwhyew da no. Ɛrenkum wɔn kɔm na ɛrenhyɛ wɔn yafunu ma, efisɛ ayɛ wɔn hintidua de wɔn akɔ bɔne mu.
20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
Na wɔde wɔn nnwinne afɛfɛ no hoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔde yeyɛɛ wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwade ne nsɛsode tantan. Enti mɛdan eyinom nneɛma a ho ntew no ama wɔn.
21 I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
Mede ne nyinaa bɛma ananafo sɛ asade na mede ama asase so atirimɔdenfo sɛ akorɔnne, na wobegu ho fi.
22 I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
Meyi mʼani afi wɔn so na wobegu beae a ɛsom me bo no ho fi. Akorɔmfo bewura hɔ na wɔagu ho fi.
23 Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
“‘Monyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, efisɛ mogyahwiegu ayɛ asase no so ma, na akakabensɛm ahyɛ kuropɔn no ma.
24 So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
Mɛma aman no mu otirimɔdenfo pa ara abɛfa wɔn afi; mɛma ɔhoɔdenfo ahomaso aba awiei, na wɔn kronkrommea ho begu fi.
25 When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
Sɛ ehu ba a, wɔbɛhwehwɛ asomdwoe akyi kwan nanso ɛbɛbɔ wɔn.
26 You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
Atoyerɛnkyɛm bedi atoyerɛnkyɛm akyi aba; huhuhuhu bedi huhuhuhu akyi. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wobenya anisoadehu afi odiyifo no hɔ, asɔfo no nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa mmara no ho no bɛbɔ wɔn, saa ara na wɔrennya afotu mfi mpanyimfo hɔ.
27 Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Ɔhene no betwa adwo, ɔheneba no befura abawpa, na asase no so nnipa nsa bɛpopo. Me ne wɔn bedi no sɛnea wɔn nneyɛe te na megyina wɔn tebea so abu wɔn atɛn. Afei wobehu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
