< Ezekiel 23 >

1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 and he seide, Thou, sone of man, twei wymmen weren the douytris of o modir, and diden fornycacioun in Egipt;
“Onipa ba, mmea baanu a wɔyɛ ɔbea baako mma tenaa ase.
3 in her yonge wexynge age thei diden fornicacioun; there the brestis of hem weren maad low, and the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hem weren brokun.
Wɔbɛyɛɛ aguamammɔfo wɔ Misraim, na wɔbɔɔ aguaman fii wɔn mmabaabere mu. Womiamiaa wɔn nufu, wɔberee wɔn mmabaabere mpokua wɔ asase no so.
4 Forsothe the names of hem ben, Oolla, the more sistir, and Ooliba the lesse sistir of hir. And Y hadde hem, and thei childiden sones and douytris; certis the names of hem ben Samarie Oolla, and Jerusalem Ooliba.
Ɔpanyin no din de Ohola na ne nuabea no nso din de Oholiba. Na wɔyɛ me yerenom na wɔwowoo mmabarima ne mmabea. Ohola ne Samaria na Oholiba nso ne Yerusalem.
5 Therfor Oolla dide fornicacioun on me, and was wood on hir louyeris, on Assiriens neiyinge,
“Ohola da so ware me no, ɔbɔɔ aguaman; nʼani tu dii nʼapɛfo akyi, Asiriafo, akofo no
6 clothid with iacinct, princes, and magistratis, yonge men of coueytise, alle kniytis, and stieris of horsis.
a wɔhyehyɛ ntade bibiri, amradofo ne asahene a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmerante a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ na wɔtena apɔnkɔ so.
7 And sche yaf hir fornicaciouns on hem, on alle the chosun sones of Assiriens; and in alle on whiche sche was wood, sche was defoulid in the vnclennessis of hem.
Ɔne Asiriafo atitiriw bɔɔ aguaman, na ɔsom wɔn a ɔdɔɔ wɔn nyinaa ahoni de guu ne ho fi.
8 Ferthermore and sche lefte not hir fornicaciouns, whiche sche hadde in Egipt; for whi and thei slepten with hir in the yongthe of hir, and thei braken the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hir, and thei scheden out her fornicacioun on hir.
Wannyae nʼaguamammɔ a ofii ase wɔ Misraim no, bere a ɔyɛ ababaa na mmarima ne no dae, susoo ne mpokua mu na wohwiee wɔn akɔnnɔ guu ne so no.
9 Therfor Y yaf hir in to the hondis of hir louyeris, in to the hondis of the sones of Assur, on whos letcherie sche was wood.
“Ɛno nti mede no maa nʼadɔfo Asiriafo no a nʼani bere wɔn no.
10 Thei diskyueriden the schenschipe of hir; thei token awei the sones and the douytris of hir, and killiden hir with swerd; and the wymmen weren maad famouse, that is, sclaundrid, and thei diden domes in hir.
Wɔbɔɔ no adagyaw, faa ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea kɔe, na wɔde afoa kum no. Ogyee ne din wɔ mmea mu na asotwe baa ne so.
11 And whanne hir sistir Ooliba hadde seyn this, sche was wood in letcherie more than that sistre, and yaf vnschamefastli hir fornicacioun on the fornicacioun of hir sistre,
“Ne nuabea Oholiba huu eyi nanso nʼakɔnnɔ bɔne ne nʼaguaman sen ne nuabea no de.
12 to the sones of Assiriens, to duykis and magistratis comynge to hir, that weren clothid with dyuerse cloth, to knyytis that weren borun on horsis, and to yonge men with noble schap, to alle men.
Ɔno nso dii Asiriafo no akyi; amradofo ne asahene, akofo a wɔhyehyɛ wɔn ntade, apɔnkɔsotefo a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmerante ahoɔfɛfo.
13 And Y siy that o weie of both sistris was defoulid,
Mihuu sɛ ɔno nso guu ne ho fi, wɔn baanu faa ɔkwan koro so.
14 and sche encreesside hir fornycaciouns. And whanne sche hadde seyn men peyntid in the wal, the ymagis of Caldeis expressid with colouris,
“Na ɔtoaa nʼaguamammɔ no so kɔɔ akyiri. Ohuu mmarima mfoni a wɔakurukyerɛw agu ɔfasu bi ho, Kaldeafo mfoni a wɔde adukɔkɔɔ akrukyerɛw
15 and gird on the reynes with kniytis girdlis, and cappis peyntid in the heedis of hem, the foormes of alle duykis, the licnesse of the sones of Babiloyne, and of the lond of Caldeis, in which thei weren borun;
a abɔso bobɔ wɔn asen mu na abotiri bobɔ wɔn ti a wɔn nyinaa te sɛ Babilonia nteaseɛnam mu mpanyimfo a wofi Kaldea.
16 sche was wood on hem bi coueitise of hir iyen, and sche sente messangeris to hem in to Caldee.
Ohuu saa mfoni yi, ne kɔn dɔɔ wɔn na ɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kaldea.
17 And whanne the sones of Babiloyne weren comun to hir, to the bed of tetis, thei defouliden hir in her letcheries of virgyns; and sche was defoulid of hem, and the soule of hir was fillid of hem.
Na Babiloniafo no baa ne nkyɛn ne no bɛdaa ɔdɔ mpa so, na wɔn akɔnnɔ mu no, woguu ne ho fi. Woguu ne ho fi wiee no wɔn ho fonoo no enti ogyaa wɔn.
18 Also sche made nakid hir fornicaciouns, and diskyuered hir schenschipe; and my soule yede awei fro hir, as my soule hadde go awei fro hir sistir.
Ɔkɔɔ so wɔ nʼaguamammɔ mu, bɔɔ ne ho adagyaw no, migyaw no hɔ sɛnea migyaw ne nuabea no hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ.
19 For sche multiplied hir fornicaciouns, and hadde mynde on the daies of hir yongthe, in whiche sche dide fornicacioun in the lond of Egipt.
Na ɔmaa nʼaguamammɔ no kɔɔ so ara de kaee ne mmabaabere a na ɔbɔ aguaman wɔ Misraim no.
20 And sche was wood in letcherie on the liggyng bi of hem, whos fleischis ben as the fleischis of assis, and as the membris of horsis ben the membris of hem.
Ɛhɔ na ɔne nʼadɔfo a wɔn barima te sɛ mfurum de na wɔn ho nsu te sɛ apɔnkɔ de no bɔɔ aguaman.
21 And thou visitidist the grete trespas of thi yongthe, whanne thi brestis weren maad low in Egipt, and the tetis of the tyme of thi mariage weren brokun.
Na wo kɔn dɔɔ wo mmabun mu akɔnnɔ bɔne no, nea woyɛɛ wɔ Misraim a wɔsrasraa wo koko mu na womiamiaa wo mpokua no.
22 Therfor, thou Ooliba, the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise alle thi louyeris ayens thee, of whiche thi soule was fillid, and Y schal gadere hem ayens thee in cumpas;
“Ɛno nti, Oholiba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mɛhwanyan wʼadɔfo atia wo, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo wo ma wugyaw wɔn hɔ no; mede wɔn befi afanan nyinaa abetia wo.
23 the sones of Babiloyne, and alle Caldeis, noble and miyti men, and princes, alle the sones of Assiriens, and yonge men of noble foorme, duykis, and magistratis, alle princes of princes, and named stieris of horsis.
Babiloniafo ne Kaldeafo nyinaa, Pekod, Soa ne Koa mmarima, Asiriafo no ne wɔn bɛba, mmerante ahoɔfɛfo a wɔn nyinaa yɛ amradofo, asahene, nteaseɛnam ho adwumayɛfo ne mmarima a wokura dibea akɛse a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ so.
24 And thei araied with chare and wheel schulen come on thee, the multitude of puplis schulen be armed with haburioun, and scheeld, and basynet, ayens thee on ech side; and Y schal yyue doom bifor hem, and thei schulen deme thee bi her domes.
Wɔde akode, nteaseɛnam ahorow ne nnipadɔm bɛba abetia wo; wɔde akokyɛm akɛse ne nketewa ne dade kyɛw bɛka wo ahyɛ. Mede wo bɛhyɛ wɔn nsa, na wɔagyina wɔn nhyehyɛe so atwe wo aso.
25 And Y schal sette my feruour in thee, which thei schulen vse with thee in woodnesse; thei schulen kitte awei thi nose and thin eeris, and thei schulen sle with swerd tho thingis that weren left; thei schulen take thi sones and thi douytris, and thi laste thing schal be deuourid bi fier.
Mɛdan me ninkunu abufuw no akyerɛ wo so, na wɔne wo bedi no anibere so. Wobetwitwa mo hwene ne mo aso, na wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Wɔbɛfa mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea akɔ, na mo a moaka no wɔde ogya ahyew mo.
26 And thei schulen make thee nakid of thi clothis, and thei schulen take awei the vessels of thi glorie.
Wɔbɛpa wo ho ntama nso na wɔafa wo nnwinne.
27 And Y schal make thi greet trespasse to reste fro thee, and thi fornicacioun fro the lond of Egipt; and thou schalt not reise thin iyen to hem, and thou schalt no more haue mynde on Egipt.
Ɛno nti mɛma wʼakɔnnɔ bɔne ne aguamammɔ a wufii ase wɔ Misraim no aba nʼawie. Wo kɔn rennɔ saa nneɛma yi, na worenkae Misraim bio.
28 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue thee in to the hondis of hem whiche thou hatist, `in to the hondis of hem of whiche thi soule was fillid,
“Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede wo rebɛhyɛ wʼatamfo nsa, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo wo ma wugyaw wɔn no.
29 and thei schulen do with thee in hatrede. And thei schulen take awei alle thi trauels, and thei schulen leeue thee nakid, and ful of schenschipe; and the schenschipe of thi fornicaciouns schal be schewid. Thi greet
Wɔde ɔtan ne wo bedi, na wɔafa nea woayɛ adwuma apɛ nyinaa. Wobegyaw wo adagyaw ne kwaterekwa, na wʼaguamammɔ ho aniwu no bɛda adi. Wʼaniwude ne wʼaguamansɛm no
30 trespas and thi fornycaciouns han do these thingis to thee; for thou didist fornicacioun aftir hethene men, among whiche thou were defoulid in the idols of hem.
na ɛde eyinom aba wo so, efisɛ wo kɔn dɔɔ amanaman no na wode wɔn ahoni guu wo ho fi.
31 Thou yedist in the weie of thi sister, and Y schal yyue the cuppe of hir in thin hond.
Woayɛ nea wo nuabea yɛɛ no bi; na ɛno nti mede ne kuruwa bɛhyɛ wo nsa.
32 The Lord God seith these thingis, Thou schalt drinke the cuppe of thi sistir, the depthe, and the broodnesse; thou that art most able to take, schalt be in to scornyng, and in to mouwyng.
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Wobɛnom wo nuabea kuruwa ano, kuruwa a ɛso na mu dɔ; ɛde fɛwdi ne ahohora bɛba, efisɛ nea ɛwɔ mu dɔɔso.
33 Thou schalt be fillid with drunkenesse and sorewe, with the cuppe of mourenyng and of heuynesse, with the cuppe of thi sister Samarie.
Nsabow ne awerɛhow bɛhyɛ wo ma, ɔsɛe ne asaworamto kuruwa no, wo nuabea Samaria kuruwa no bɛhyɛ wo ma.
34 And thou schalt drynke it, and thou schalt drinke of til to the drastis, and thou schalt deuoure the relifs therof, and thou schalt to-reende thi brestis, for Y the Lord spak, seith the Lord God.
Wobɛnom a hwee renka mu: na woawe nʼasinasin no na woasunsuan wo mpokua mu. Me na maka, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
35 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For thou hast foryete me, and hast cast forth me bihynde thi bodi, bere thou also thi greet trespas and thi fornicaciouns.
“Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Esiane sɛ wo werɛ afi me, na woatow me akyene wʼakyi nti, ɛsɛ sɛ wunya wʼaniwude ne wʼaguamammɔ so akatua.”
36 And the Lord God seide to me, and spak, Sone of man, whether thou demest Ooliba and Oolla, and tellist to hem the grete trespassis of hem?
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, wubebu Ohola ne Oholiba atɛn ana? Ɛno de, fa wɔn akyiwadeyɛ no si wɔn anim,
37 For thei diden auowtrie, and blood was in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols; ferthermore and thei offriden to tho the sones whiche thei gendriden to me, for to be deuourid.
efisɛ wɔasɛe aware, na mogya wɔ wɔn nsa ho. Wɔde wɔn ahoni na ɛsɛee aware no; na mpo wɔde wɔn mma a wɔwoo wɔn maa me no bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn sɛ wɔn aduan.
38 But also thei diden this to me, thei defouleden my seyntuarie in that dai, and maden vnhooli my sabatis.
Wɔde eyi nso ayɛ me: Saa bere koro no ara mu, woguu me kronkronbea ne me homenna ho fi.
39 And whanne thei sacrifisiden her sones to her idols, and entriden in to my seyntuarie in that dai, that thei schulden defoule it, thei diden also these thingis in the myddis of myn hous.
Da a wɔde wɔn mma bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn ahoni no ara, wɔhyɛn me kronkronbea hɔ koguu ho fi. Eyi na wɔyɛɛ wɔ me fi.
40 Thei senten to men comyng fro fer, to whiche thei hadden sent messangeris. Therfor lo! thei camen, to whiche thou waischidist thee, and anoyntidist thin iyen with oynement of wymmen, and thou were ourned with wymmens atier.
“Wɔsomaa abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ mmarima a wofi akyirikyiri bae, na wobedui no, muguare, kekaa mo ani akyi, de mo adwinne hyehyɛɛ mo ho maa wɔn.
41 Thou satist in a ful fair bed, and a boord was ourned bifor thee; thou settidist myn encense and myn oynement on it.
Motenaa akongua papa bi a wɔde ɔpon a wɔasɛw so asi anim, ɛso na mode nnuhuam ne ngo a anka ɛyɛ me de no sisii.
42 And a vois of multitude makynge ful out ioye was ther ynne; and in men that weren brouyt of the multitude of men, and camen fro desert, thei settiden bies in the hondis of hem, and faire corouns on the heedis of hem.
“Na hooyɛ a efi nnipakuw bi a hwee mfa wɔn ho atwa ne ho ahyia. Wɔde Sabeafo fi sare no so ne mmarima a wofi dɔm no mu bae, na wɔde nkapo hyehyɛɛ ɔbea no ne ne nua no nsa, na wɔhyɛɛ wɔn ahenkyɛw a ɛyɛ fɛ.
43 And Y seide to hir, that was defoulid in auoutries, Now also this schal do fornycacioun in hir fornicacioun.
Na meka faa nea aguamammɔ ama watetew no ho se, ‘Momma wɔnnyɛ no sɛ oguamanfo, efisɛ saa ara pɛ na ɔte.’
44 And thei entriden to hir; as to a womman, an hoore, so thei entriden to Oolla and to Ooliba, cursid wymmen.
Na wɔne no dae. Sɛnea mmarima ne oguamanfo da no, saa ara na wɔne saa mmea a wɔn ho yɛ aniwu no, Ohola ne Oholiba dae.
45 Therfor these men ben iust, these schulen deme thilke wymmen bi the doom of auoutressis, and bi the doom of hem that scheden out blood; for thei ben auoutressis, and blood is in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols.
Nanso atemmufo atreneefo de asotwe a wɔde ma mmea a wɔsɛe aware na wɔka mogya gu no bɛma wɔn, efisɛ wɔyɛ nguamanfo na wɔn nsa ho wɔ mogya.
46 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Bringe thou multitudis to hem, and yyue thou hem in to noise, and in to raueyn;
“Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Fa nnipadɔm bra betia wɔn na ma ahunahuna ne ɔfom mmra wɔn so.
47 and be thei stoonyd with the stoonys of puplis, and be thei stikid togidere with the swerdis of hem. Thei schulen sle the sones and the douytris of hem, and thei schulen brenne with fier the housis of hem.
Nnipakuw no besiw wɔn abo na wɔde wɔn afoa bɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so. Wobekunkum wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea na wɔahyew wɔn afi.
48 And Y schal do awei greet trespas fro the lond; and alle wymmen schulen lerne, that thei do not aftir the greet trespas of hem.
“Ɛno nti mɛma aniwu nneyɛe aba awiei wɔ asase no so na abɔ mmaa nyinaa kɔkɔ na wɔansua mo.
49 And thei schulen yyue youre grete trespas on you; and ye schulen bere the synnes of youre idols, and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.
Wubenya wʼaniwude so asotwe na woanya abosonsom ho bɔne so akatua. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Otumfo Awurade no.”
