Ezekiel 28
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 'Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I [am], The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou [art] man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God,
“Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Tiro sodifo no se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Wufi wʼahantan koma mu ka se, “Meyɛ onyame; mete onyame bi ahengua so wɔ po mfimfini.” Nanso woyɛ onipa, wonyɛ onyame, ɛwɔ mu, wudwen sɛ wunim nyansa sɛ onyame bi.
3 Lo, thou [art] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee.
Wunim nyansa sen Daniel ana? Wunim kokoamsɛm biara ana?
4 By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries.
Wonam wo nyansa ne nhumu so anya ahode ama wo ho, woapɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ bebree agu wʼadekoradan mu.
5 By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth.
Wonam wʼaguadi mu nyansa so ama wʼahonya adɔɔso, na wʼahonya nti woahoran wɔ wo koma mu.
6 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God,
“‘Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Esiane sɛ wudwen sɛ wunim nyansa te sɛ Onyame nti,
7 Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness.
mede ananafo reba abetia wo, amanaman no mu ɔdesɛefo pa ara; wɔbɛtwetwe wɔn afoa wɔ wʼahoɔfɛ ne wo nyansa so na wɔahwirew wʼanuonyam no.
8 To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.
Wɔde wo bɛto amoa no mu, na wubewu owu yaayaw wɔ ɛpo mfimfini.
9 Dost thou really say, 'I [am] God,' Before him who is slaying thee? And thou [art] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.
Afei wobɛka se, “Meyɛ onyame,” wɔ wɔn a wokum wo no anim ana? Wobɛyɛ onipa na ɛnyɛ onyame, wɔ wɔn a wokum wo no nsam.
10 The deaths of the uncircumcised thou diest, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Wubewu momonotofo wu wɔ ananafo nsam. Me na maka, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
12 'Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Onipa ba, ma kwadwom a ɛfa Tirohene ho so na ka kyerɛ no se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Na anka woyɛ pɛyɛ nhwɛso, na wowɔ nyansa na woyɛ ahoɔfɛdua.
13 In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the day of thy being produced, have been prepared.
Na anka wowɔ Eden Onyankopɔn turo no mu. Wɔde abohemaa nyinaa siesie wo: bogyanambo, akraatebo ne bɔwerɛbo sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo, hoabo, nsrammabo ne ahabammono bo; wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ na ayɛ wʼahyehyɛde, wosiesiee ne nyinaa da a wɔbɔɔ wo.
14 Thou [art] an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of stones of fire thou hast walked up and down.
Wɔsraa wo ngo sɛ ɔhwɛfo kerub, efisɛ saa na mehyɛɛ wo. Na wowɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔw kronkron no so; wonantew ogya abo mu.
15 Perfect [art] thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.
Na anka wʼakwan ho nni asɛm efi da a wɔbɔɔ wo no kosii sɛ wohuu amumɔyɛ wɔ wo mu.
16 By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
Wʼaguadi a mu trɛw no nti wɔde akakabensɛm hyɛɛ wo ma na woyɛɛ bɔne. Ɛno nti mepam wo fii Onyankopɔn bepɔw no so wɔ animguase mu, na miyii wo adi, ɔhwɛfo kerub, fii ogya abo no mu.
17 High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee,
Wohyerɛn wɔ wo koma mu wʼahoɔfɛ nti na womaa wo nyansa porɔwee, wʼanuonyam no nti. Enti metow wo kyenee fam; na mede wo yɛɛ ahwɛde wɔ ahemfo anim.
18 From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all beholding thee.
Wode wo nnebɔne ne aguadi mu asisi agu wo kronkrommea ho fi ɛno nti memaa ogya fii wo mu na ɛhyew wo, na memaa wo dan nsõ wɔ fam wɔ wɔn a na wɔrehwɛ no nyinaa anim.
19 All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not — to the age.'
Aman a na wonim wo nyinaa ho adwiriw wɔn wɔ wo ho: wʼawiei ayɛ ahometew na wɔrenhu wo bio.’”
20 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
21 'Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy concerning it;
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Sidon na hyɛ nkɔm tia no
22 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Zidon, And I have been honoured in thy midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My doing in her judgments, And I have been sanctified in her.
na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Me ne wo anya, Sidon na mɛda mʼanuonyam adi wɔ mo mu. Wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no, bere a mede asotwe aba ne so na mada me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ ne mu no.
23 And I have sent into her pestilence, And blood into her out-places, The wounded hath been judged in her midst, By the sword upon her round about, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba ne so na mama mogya ateɛ wɔ ne mmɔnten so. Apirafo bɛtotɔ wɔ ne mu, bere a afoa redi ahim wɔ ne ho nyinaa. Afei na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
24 And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them — despising them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Na Israelfo rennya yɔnkonom a wɔwɔ adwemmɔne, wɔn a wɔwowɔ yayaayaw sɛ ohwirem ne nsɔe bio. Afei na wobehu sɛ mene Otumfo Awurade no.
25 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to Jacob,
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Sɛ meboa Israelfo ano fi aman a wabɔ wɔn apete no so a, mɛda me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ wɔn mu, ama amanaman no ahu. Afei wɔbɛtena wɔn ankasa asase a mede maa me somfo Yakob no so.
26 And they have dwelt on it confidently, And builded houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently — in My doing judgments, On all those despising them round about, And they have known that I, Jehovah, [am] their God!'
Wɔbɛtena hɔ asomdwoe mu na wobesisi adan, ayeyɛ bobe nturo; Wɔbɛtena ase asomdwoe mu wɔ bere a matwe ne yɔnkonom a wɔkasa tiaa no no nyinaa aso. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no.’”
