Ezekiel 7

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,

2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD to the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

“Ame vi, aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Israel ƒe anyigba: “‘Nuwuwu la! Nuwuwu la ɖo eɖo xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi!

3 Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thy abominations.

Nuwuwu la va mia dzi azɔ, eye mana nye dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi katã ɖe miaƒe ŋunyɔnuwɔnawo ta.

4 And my eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi loo alo ana miakpɔ ɖeɖe o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme kple ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta kokoko. “‘Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

“Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, “‘Dzɔgbevɔ̃e! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si tɔgbi ƒe nya womese kpɔ o la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo.

6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Efɔ eɖokui ɖe ŋutiwò. Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo!

7 The morning is come upon thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

Tsɔtsrɔ̃ va mia dzi mi anyigbadzinɔlawo dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de, ŋkeke la tu aƒe. Nuxaxa le toawo dzi, dzidzɔ aɖeke meli o.

8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish my anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thy abominations.

Esusɔ vie matrɔ nye dziku akɔ ɖe mia dzi, eye magblẽ nye dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanuwo katã ta.

9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thy abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.

Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi alo aɖe mi o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu kple ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta. “‘Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowae tu nu kpli mi.

10 Behold the day, behold, it is come; the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

“‘Kpɔ ɖa, ŋkeke la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e do, ameƒoti do lotoo, eye dada ƒo se.

11 Violence hath risen into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.

Ŋutasesẽ tsi zu ameƒoti hena tohehe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Womagblẽ ame aɖeke ɖi o; womagblẽ ameha ma me nɔla aɖeke, kesinɔnu aɖeke alo nu xɔasi aɖeke ɖi o.

12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

Ɣeyiɣi de, ŋkeke la va ɖo. Nudzrala megatso aseye, eye nuƒlela megafa konyi o, elabena dɔmedzoe dze ɖe ameha la katã dzi.

13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] concerning the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

Anyigbadzrala magbugbɔ eƒe anyigba si wòdzra la axɔ zi ale si wo ame eve la le agbe o, elabena womatrɔ ŋutega si wokpɔ tso ameha blibo la ŋu o. Le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã matsi agbe o.

14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof:

“‘Togbɔ be woaku kpẽ, eye woawɔ nu sia nu wòasɔ gbe gɔ̃ hã la, ame aɖeke mayi aʋa o, elabena nye dɔmedzoe bi ɖe ameha la kã.

15 The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

Yi le gota, eye dɔvɔ̃ kple dɔwuame le aƒe me. Yi awu ame siwo le gbedzi, eye ame siwo le du me la, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ atsrɔ̃ wo.

16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

Ame siwo katã atsi agbe, eye woasi la, woayi toawo dzi, anɔ konyi fam abe ahɔnɛ siwo le baliwo me ene, ɖe sia ɖe ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.

Alɔ ɖe sia ɖe ado agblɔ, eye klo ɖe sia ɖe agbɔdzɔ abe tsi ene.

18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.

Woatsyɔ konyifavɔ, eye woado ŋɔdzi abe awu ene, ŋukpe anɔ mo na wo, eye woalũ ta na wo.

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels because it is the stumbling-block of their iniquity.

“‘Woatsɔ woƒe klosalo aƒu gbe ɖe ablɔwo dzi, eye woƒe sika azu nu makɔmakɔ. Woƒe klosalo kple sika mate ŋu aɖe wo le Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoedogbe la o. Womatsɔe atsi woƒe dɔwuame nu o, eye womatsɔe aɖi ƒoe na wo o, elabena ena wodze nu vɔ̃ me.

20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

Wodana ɖe woƒe lekewɔnu dzeaniwo dzi, eye wotsɔ wo wɔ woƒe legba nyɔŋuwo kple aklamakpakpɛ vlowo. Eya ta matrɔ nu siawo woazu nu makɔmakɔwo na wo.

21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

Mana wo katã nazu afunyinu na amedzrowo kple nuhaha na ŋutaselã siwo le anyigba dzi, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo.

22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Matrɔ mo ɖe adzɔge tso wo gbɔ, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye teƒe vevi la. Adzodalawo age ɖe eme, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ.

23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

“‘Miwɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖi, elabena ʋukɔkɔɖi bɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye ŋutasesẽ yɔ dua me.

24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease, and their holy places shall be defiled.

Makplɔ dukɔ vɔ̃ɖitɔwo vɛ be woava xɔ woƒe aƒewo, matsi ŋusẽtɔwo ƒe dada nu, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na woƒe Kɔkɔeƒewo.

25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.

Ne ŋɔdzi do la, woadi ŋutifafa, gake manɔ anyi o.

26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

Dzɔgbevɔ̃e akplɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖo, eye ŋɔdzinya adze ŋɔdzinya yome. Ana woadze agbagba be yewoaxɔ ɖeɖefia tso nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ, nunɔlawo ƒe sewo fiafia kple ametsitsiwo ƒe nufiame maganɔ anyi o.

27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Fia la afa konyi, dzi aɖe le fiavi la ƒo, eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo ƒe asiwo adzo nyanyanya. Matu nu kpli wo le woƒe nɔnɔme nu, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe gɔmesese nu. “‘Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
