Ezekiel 6

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,

2 “Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them.

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔw, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,

3 Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and to the hills, to the streambeds, and to the valleys: Behold! I am bringing a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

na ka se, ‘Mo Israel mmepɔw, muntie Otumfo Awurade asɛm. Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔw ne nkoko, abon ne aku: Merebɛtwe mo so afoa na masɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea.

4 Then your altars will become desolate and your pillars will be destroyed, and I will throw down your dead in front of their idols.

Wobebubu mo afɔremuka ahorow no na wɔasɛe nnuhuam adum; na mekunkum mo nkurɔfo wɔ mo ahoni anim.

5 I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and scatter your bones around your altars.

Mede Israelfo afunu begu wɔn ahoni anim na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔremuka ahorow ho.

6 Everywhere you live, cities will be laid waste and the high places ruined, so that your altars will be laid waste and made desolate. Then they will be broken and disappear, your pillars will be cut down and your works will be wiped away.

Baabiara a mote no, nkurow no bɛda mpan na ne sorɔnsorɔmmea bɛsɛe, na ama mo afɔremuka ahorow no ada mpan na ayɛ amamfo, mo ahoni abubu na asɛe, mo nnuhuam adum abubu agu fam, na nea moayɛ nso ahwere mo.

7 The dead will fall down in your midst and you will know that I am Yahweh.

Mo nkurɔfo bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mubehu sɛ mene Awurade.

8 But I will preserve a remnant among you, and there will be some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered throughout the countries.

“‘Nanso megyaw mo mu bi, efisɛ ebinom beguan afoa ano wɔ bere a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.

9 Then those who escape will think of me among the nations where they will be held captive, that I was grieved by their promiscuous heart that turned away from me, and by their eyes that whored after their idols. Then they will show loathing on their face for the wickedness which they have committed with all their abominations.

Na afei wɔn a woguan no bɛkae me wɔ amanaman a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum kɔɔ mu no, sɛnea madi awerɛhow wɔ wɔn aguamammɔ koma a wɔde twee wɔn ho fii me nkyɛn, ne wɔn ani a wɔde nyaa akɔnnɔ bɔne maa wɔn ahoni no ho. Wɔn ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwini wɔ bɔne ne akyiwade a wɔayɛ no nti.

10 So they will know that I am Yahweh. It was for a reason that I said I would bring this evil to them.

Wobehu sɛ mene Awurade na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.

11 The Lord Yahweh says this: Clap your hands and stomp your foot! Say, 'Alas!' because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they will fall by sword, famine, and plague.

“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mommɔ mo nsam na momfa mo nan mpempem fam na monteɛ mu se, “A!” esiane Israel fi amumɔyɛ ne akyiwade nyinaa nti, wobewuwu afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano.

12 The one far away will die by plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword. Those who remain and survive will die by famine. In this way I will accomplish my fury against them.

Ɔyaredɔm bekum nea ɔwɔ akyirikyiri. Nea ɔbɛn no bɛtɔ afoa ano na nea obefi mu na waka no, ɔkɔm bekum no. Saa na mede mʼabufuwhyew no bɛyɛ wɔn.

13 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when their dead lie among their idols, around their altars, on every high hill—on all the mountain peaks, and under every flourishing tree and thick oak—the places where they burned incense to all their idols.

Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, bere a wɔn nkurɔfo a watotɔ afunu deda wɔn ahoni ntam atwa wɔn afɔremuka ho ahyia, wɔ nkoko a ɛkorɔn nyinaa so, mmepɔw atifi nyinaa ne nnua a adennan ne odum frɔmfrɔm ase, mmeaemmeae a wɔde nnuhuam bɔ afɔre ma wɔn ahoni nyinaa no.

14 I will strike with my hand and make the land desolate and a waste, from the wilderness to Diblah, throughout all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”

Afei mɛteɛ me nsa wɔ wɔn so na mama asase no ada mpan afi nweatam no akosi Ribla, baabiara a wɔtete. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
