Ezekiel 14
1 And men of the eldris of Israel camen to me, and saten bifor me.
Israel mpanimfoɔ no mu bi baa me nkyɛn bɛtenatena mʼanim.
2 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Sone of man,
Afei Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
3 these men han set her vnclennesses in her hertis, and han set stidfastli the sclaundre of her wickidnesse ayens her face. Whether Y `that am axid, schal answere to hem?
“Onipa ba, saa mmarimma yi de ahoni ahyɛ wɔn akoma mu na wɔde amumuyɛ suntidua asisi wɔn anim. Ɛsɛ sɛ mema wɔbisa mʼase koraa anaa?
4 For this thing speke thou to hem, and thou schalt seie to hem, These thingis seith the Lord God, A man, a man of the hous of Israel, that settith hise vnclennessis in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundre of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and cometh to the profete, and axith me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere to hym in the multitude of hise vnclennessis;
Enti kasa kyerɛ wɔn na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ Israelni biara de ahoni hyehyɛ nʼakoma mu na ɔde amumuyɛ suntidua sisi nʼanim, na afei ɔkɔ odiyifoɔ nkyɛn a, me Awurade, mɛma no mmuaeɛ a ɛfata nʼahonisom no kɛseyɛ.
5 that the hous of Israel be takun in her herte, bi which thei yeden awei fro me in alle her idols.
Mɛyɛ yei de atwe Israelfoɔ a wɔagya me akɔdi wɔn abosom akyi no akoma aba bio.’
6 Therfor seie thou to the hous of Israel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Be ye conuertid, and go ye awei fro youre idols, and turne awei youre faces fro alle youre filthis.
“Enti ka kyerɛ Israel efie sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Monsakra mo adwene. Momfiri mo ahoni ho na monnyae mo nneyɛeɛ a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no!
7 For whi a man, a man of the hous of Israel, and of conuersis, who euer is a comelyng in Israel, if he is alienyd fro me, and settith hise idols in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundir of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and he cometh to the profete, to axe me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere hym bi my silf.
“‘Sɛ Israelni bi anaa ɔnanani a ɔte Israel twe ne ho firi me nkyɛn na ɔde ahoni hyɛ nʼakoma mu de amumuyɛ suntidua si nʼanim, na afei ɔkɔ odiyifoɔ nkyɛn kɔbisa mʼase a, me, Awurade ankasa bɛbua no.
8 And Y schal sette my face on that man, and Y schal make hym in to ensaumple, and in to a prouerbe, and Y schal leese hym fro the myddis of my puple; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
Mɛtu mʼani asa onipa no na mede no ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ ne akasabɛbuo. Mɛyi no afiri me nkurɔfoɔ mu. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
9 And whanne a profete errith, and spekith a word, Y the Lord schal disseyue that profete; and Y schal stretche forth myn hond on hym, and Y schal do hym awei fro the myddis of my puple Israel.
“‘Na sɛ odiyifoɔ no ma wɔdaadaa no ma ɔhyɛ nkɔm a, me Awurade na madaadaa odiyifoɔ no, mɛtene me nsa wɔ ne so na matwa no afiri me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ mu.
10 And thei schulen bere her wickidnesse; bi the wickidnesse of the axere, so the wickidnesse of the profete schal be;
Wɔbɛsoa wɔn afɔdie; odiyifoɔ no ne deɛ ɔkɔhunuu no no nyinaa bɛdi fɔ.
11 that the hous of Israel erre no more fro me, nether be defoulid in alle her trespassyngis; but that it be in to a puple to me, and Y be in to a God to hem, seith the Lord of oostis.
Na Israelfoɔ renkwati me bio, na wɔremfa wɔn nnebɔne no ngu wɔn ho fi bio. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
12 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
13 Sone of man, whanne the lond synneth ayens me, that it trespassynge do trespas, Y schal stretche forth myn hond on it, and Y schal al to-breke the yerde of breed therof; and Y schal sende hungur in to it, and Y schal sle of it man and beeste.
“Onipa ba, sɛ ɔman bi anni me nokorɛ na enti wɔyɛ bɔne de tia me, na metene me nsa wɔ wɔn so na megyae wɔn aduane ma, na mema ɛkɔm ba bɛkunkum emu nnipa ne wɔn mmoa a,
14 And if these thre men Noe, Danyel, and Job, ben in the myddis therof, thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis, seith the Lord of oostis.
mpo sɛ saa nnipa baasa a wɔyɛ Noa, Daniel ne Hiob wɔ ɔman no mu a, wɔn tenenee bɛgye wɔn nko ara nkwa, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
15 That if also Y brynge in worste beestis on the lond, that Y distrie it, and if it is with out weie, for that no passer is for the beestis,
“Anaa sɛ mema wiram mmoa kɔ saa asase no so na wɔkunkum ɛso nnipa nyinaa na asase no sɛe a obiara ntumi mfa so ɛsiane wiram mmoa no enti a,
16 and these thre men, that `ben bifore seid, ben therynne, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen nethir delyuere sones, nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be deliuered; forsothe the lond schal be maad desolat.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, mpo sɛ saa mmarima baasa yi wɔ asase no so a, wɔrentumi nnye wɔn ankasa mmammarima ne mmammaa nkwa. Wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa na asase no bɛsɛe.
17 Ethir if Y brynge in swerd on that lond, and Y seie to the swerd, Passe thou thorouy the lond, and Y sle of it man and beeste,
“Sɛ nso metwe akofena wɔ asase no so, na meka sɛ, ‘Ma akofena no nkɔ asase no so nyinaa,’ na mekunkum ɛso nnipa ne wɔn mmoa,
18 and these thre men ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, that thei schulen not delyuere sones nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be delyuered.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, mpo sɛ saa mmarima baasa yi wɔ asase no so a, wɔrentumi nnye wɔn ankasa mmammarima ne mmammaa nkwa. Wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛnya nkwa.
19 Forsothe if Y brynge in also pestilence on that lond, and Y schede out myn indignacioun on it in blood, that Y do awei fro it man and beeste,
“Sɛ nso mesoma ɔyaredɔm kɔ asase no so na menam mʼabufuhyeɛ so hwie mogya gu wɔ asase no so, kunkum ɛso nnipa ne wɔn mmoa a,
20 and Noe, and Danyel, and Joob, ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen not delyuere a sone and a douyter, but thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie, sɛ Noa, Daniel ne Hiob mpo wɔ hɔ a, wɔrentumi nye ɔbabarima anaa ɔbabaa nkwa. Wɔn tenenee enti wɔbɛgye wɔn ho nkwa.
21 For the Lord God seith these thingis, That thouy Y sende in my foure worste domes, swerd, and hungur, and yuele beestis, and pestilence, in to Jerusalem, that Y sle of it man and beeste,
“Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛbɛyɛ hu mmorosoɔ sɛ mɛma mʼatemmuo huuhuuhu ɛnan, a ɛyɛ akofena, ɔkɔm, wiram mmoa ne ɔyaredɔm akɔ Yerusalem so akɔkunkum ne mmarima ne wɔn mmoa!
22 netheles saluacioun of hem that leden out sones and douytris, schal be left ther ynne. Lo! thei schulen go out to you, and ye schulen se the weie of hem, and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen be coumfortid on the yuel, which Y brouyte in on Jerusalem, in alle thingis whiche Y bar in on it.
Nanso ebinom bɛka, mmammarima ne mmammaa a wɔbɛyi wɔn afiri mu no. Wɔbɛba mo nkyɛn wɔ Babilon, na sɛ mohunu wɔn su ne wɔn nneyɛɛ a, mo bo bɛtɔ mo yam wɔ amanehunu a me de aba Yerusalem so no ho.
23 And thei schulen coumforte you, whanne ye schulen se the weie of hem and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen knowe, that not in veyn Y dide alle thingis, what euer thingis Y dide there ynne, seith the Lord almyyti.
Sɛ mohunu wɔn su ne wɔn nneyɛɛ a, mo bo bɛtɔ mo yam, ɛfiri sɛ mobɛhunu sɛ, menyɛɛ biribiara wɔ hɔ a ɛnni farebae, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
