< Ezekiel 3 >

1 And he seide to me, Sone of man, ete thou what euer thing thou fyndist, ete thou this volym; and go thou, and speke to the sones of Israel.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, di deɛ wohunu wɔ wʼanim no, di saa nwoma mmobɔeɛ yi, na afei kɔ na kɔkasa kyerɛ Israelfoɔ.”
2 And Y openyde my mouth, and he fedde me with that volym.
Enti mebuee mʼanom na ɔde nwoma mmobɔeɛ no maa me diiɛ.
3 And he seide to me, Sone of man, thi wombe schal ete, and thin entrails schulen be fillid with this volym, which Y yyue to thee. And Y eet it, and it was maad as swete hony in my mouth.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, di saa nwoma mmobɔeɛ a mede rema wo yi. Fa hyɛ wo yafunu ma.” Enti mediiɛ, na na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwoɔ wɔ mʼanom.
4 And he seide to me, Sone of man, go thou to the hous of Israel, and thou schalt speke my wordis to hem.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, afei kɔ Israelfoɔ hɔ kɔka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
5 For thou schalt not be sent to a puple of hiy word, and of vnknowun langage; thou schalt be sent to the hous of Israel,
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bi a wɔn kasa mu nte anaa ɛyɛ dene nkyɛn na meresoma woɔ, mmom meresoma wo Israelfoɔ hɔ.
6 nether to many puplis of hiy word, and of vnknowun langage, of whiche thou maist not here the wordis. And if thou were sent to hem, thei schulden here thee.
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bebree a wɔn kasa mu nteɛ na ɛyɛ den. Ɛnyɛ wɔn a wonte wɔn kasa ase nkyɛn. Ampa, sɛ mesomaa wo nnipa a wɔnte wo kasa a, anka wɔtiee wo.
7 But the hous of Israel nylen here thee, for thei nylen here me. For al the hous of Israel is of vnschamefast forheed, and of hard herte.
Nanso Israelfoɔ mpɛ sɛ wɔtie wo, ɛfiri sɛ wɔmpɛ sɛ wɔtie me. Israel nyinaa ayɛ akoma pirim ne asoɔden.
8 Lo! Y yaf thi face strongere than the faces of hem, and thi forheed hardere than the forheedis of hem.
Ɛno enti, mɛma woayɛ asoɔden ne akomapirim te sɛ wɔn.
9 Y yaf thi face as an adamaunt, and as a flynt; drede thou not hem, nether drede thou of the face of hem, for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
Mɛyɛ wo aniɔden te sɛ ɛboɔ, deɛ ɛyɛ den sene twerɛboɔ. Nsuro wɔn, na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwom sɛ wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ deɛ.”
10 And he seide to me, Sone of man, take in thin herte, and here with thin eeris alle these my wordis, whiche Y speke to thee.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, tie me nsɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no yie na dwene ho wɔ wʼakoma mu.
11 And go thou, and entre to the passyng ouer, to the sones of thi puple. And thou schalt speke to hem, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, if perauenture thei heren, and resten.
Afei, kɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ nnommumfa mu na kasa kyerɛ wɔn. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ,’ sɛ wɔbɛtie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo.”
12 And the spirit took me, and Y herde after me the vois of a greet mouyng. The blessid glorie of the Lord was herd fro his place;
Na Honhom no pagyaa me kɔɔ soro na metee sɛ nnyegyeeɛ denden bi reworo so wɔ mʼakyi sɛ, Nhyira nka Awurade animuonyam wɔ deɛ ɔteɛ hɔ!
13 and Y herde the vois of wyngis of the beestis smytynge oon an othir, and the vois of wheelis suynge the beestis, and the vois of greet stiryng.
Na ɛyɛ nnyegyeeɛ a ɛfiri ateasefoɔ no ntaban a ɛtwitwi ho ne ntwahonan a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no. Nnyegyeɛ denden a ɛworo soɔ.
14 Also the spirit reiside me, and took me. And Y yede forth bittir in the indignacioun of my spirit; for the hond of the Lord was with me, and coumfortide me.
Honhom no pagyaa me kɔɔ soro de me kɔɔ baabi. Mekɔɔ no nwononwono mu ne honhom mu abufuo so, a na Awurade tumi yɛ kɛse wɔ me so.
15 And Y cam to the passyng ouer, to the heep of newe fruytis, to hem that dwelliden bisidis the flood Chobar. And Y sat where thei saten, and Y dwellide there seuene daies, weilynge, in the myddis of hem.
Mebaa nnommumfoɔ a wɔtete Tel Abib a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Kebar no nkyɛn. Na ɛhɔ, me ne wɔn tenaa nnanson, na me ho dwirii me.
16 Forsothe whanne seuene daies weren passid, the word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Sone of man,
Nnanson akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
17 Y yaf thee `a spiere to the hous of Israel. And thou schalt here of my mouth a word, and thou schalt telle to hem of me.
“Onipa ba, mayɛ wo ɔwɛmfoɔ ama Israel; ɛno enti tie asɛm a meka no, na bɔ wɔn kɔkɔ a ɛfiri me.
18 If whanne Y seie to the wickid man, Thou schalt die bi deth, thou tellist not to hym, and spekist not to hym, that he be turned fro his wickid weie, and lyue; thilke wickid man schal die in his wickidnesse, but Y schal seke his blood of thin hond.
Sɛ meka kyerɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sɛ, ‘Ampa ara wobɛwu’ na sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ anaasɛ woankasa ankyerɛ no amma wantwe ne ho amfiri nʼakwammɔne ho annya nkwa a, saa omumuyɛfoɔ no bɛwu wɔ ne bɔne mu, na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akonta.
19 Forsothe if thou tellist to the wickid man, and he is not conuertid fro his wickidnesse, and fro his wickid weie; sotheli he schal die in his wickidnesse, but thou hast delyuerid thi soule.
Nanso sɛ wobɔ omumuyɛfoɔ no kɔkɔ na sɛ wansakyera amfiri nʼamumuyɛ anaa nʼakwammɔne ho a, ɔbɛwu wɔ ne bɔne mu, nanso na woagye wo ho nkwa.
20 But also if a iust man is turned fro his riytfulnesse, and doith wickidnesse, Y schal sette an hirtyng bifor hym; he schal die, for thou teldist not to hym; he schal die in his synne, and hise riytfulnessis, whiche he dide, schulen not be in mynde, but Y schal seke his blood of thin hond.
“Bio, sɛ ɔteneneeni dane firi tenenee ho kɔyɛ bɔne a, mede suntidua bɛto nʼanim ama no ahwe ase, na wawu. Sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ enti, ɔbɛwu wɔ ne bɔne mu. Adetenenee ahodoɔ a ɔyɛeɛ no, wɔrenkae, na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akonta.
21 Forsothe if thou tellist to a iust man, that a iust man do not synne, and he doith not synne, he lyuynge schal lyue, for thou teldist to hym, and thou hast delyuered thi soule.
Nanso sɛ wobɔ ɔteneneeni no kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnnyae bɔneyɛ na ɔgyae a, ɔbɛnya nkwa, ɛfiri sɛ ɔtiee kɔkɔbɔ, na wo nso wobɛgye wo ho nkwa.”
22 And the hond of the Lord was maad on me, and he seide to me, Rise thou, and go out in to the feeld, and there Y schal speke with thee.
Na Awurade tumi baa me so wɔ hɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Sɔre na kɔ ɛserɛ no so, na ɛhɔ na mɛkasa akyerɛ wo.”
23 And Y roos, and yede out in to the feeld. And lo! the glorie of the Lord stood there, as the glorie which Y siy bisidis the flood Chobar; and Y felle doun on my face.
Enti mesɔre kɔɔ ɛserɛ no so. Na Awurade animuonyam te sɛ deɛ mehunuu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no gyina hɔ, na mede mʼanim butuu fam.
24 And the spirit entride in to me, and settide me on my feet. And he spak to me, and seide to me, Entre thou, and be thou closid in the myddis of thin hous.
Afei, Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu na ɔpagyaa me gyinaa me nan so. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔto wo ho ɛpono mu wɔ wo efie.
25 And thou, sone of man, lo! boondis ben youun on thee, and thei schulen bynde thee with tho, and thou schalt not go out in the myddis of hem.
Na wo, onipa ba, wɔde ntampehoma bɛkyekyere wo sɛdeɛ worentumi mpue nkɔ nnipa no mu.
26 And Y schal make thi tunge to cleue to the roof of thi mouth, and thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not be as a man rebuykinge; for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
Na mɛma wo tɛkrɛma atare wʼanomu sɛdeɛ wobɛmua wʼano a worentumi nka wɔn anim, ɛfiri sɛ wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ
27 But whanne Y schal speke to thee, Y schal opene thi mouth, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, He that herith, here, and he that restith, reste; for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
Nanso sɛ mekasa kyerɛ wo a, mɛbue wʼano ama waka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie!’ Deɛ ɔbɛtie no, ma no ntie, na deɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔtie no, mma no nntie; na wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ.
