Ezekiel 2
1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, sɔre gyina hɔ, na me ne wo nkasa.”
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.
Ɔrekasa no, Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu maa me so gyinaa hɔ, na metee sɛ ɔrekasa kyerɛ me.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Onipa ba, meresoma wo akɔ Israelfoɔ mu, atuateɛ ɔman a wayɛ dɔm atia me; wɔne wɔn agyanom ayɛ dɔm atia me abɛsi ɛnnɛ.
4 For they are impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
Nnipa a meresoma wo wɔn nkyɛn no yɛ nnipa a wɔn aso yɛ den na wɔn aso awu. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ.’
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
Na sɛ wɔtie anaa wɔantie a, ɛsiane sɛ wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ enti, wɔbɛhunu ampa ara sɛ odiyifoɔ bi aba wɔn mu.
6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Na wo, onipa ba, nsuro wɔn, anaasɛ wɔn nsɛm. Nsuro, ɛwom sɛ nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ atwa wo ho ahyia, na wote anyanyankyerɛ mu deɛ, nanso nsuro deɛ wɔka, na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ.
7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ ankasa nanso ɛsɛ sɛ woka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn; sɛ wɔbɛtie oo sɛ wɔrentie oo.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
Nanso, wo onipa ba, tie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no. Ɛnte atua te sɛ saa atuatefoɔ no; bue wʼanomu na di deɛ mede ma wo no.”
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, lo, a scroll was in it;
Afei mehwɛeɛ na mehunuu nsa bi a atene wɔ me so, na emu na nwoma mmobɔeɛ bi wɔ.
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ɔtrɛɛ mu wɔ mʼanim. Nʼafanu no mu, na wɔatwerɛ abubuo, awerɛhoɔ ne nnome nsɛm.
