Ezekiel 3
1 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, that which thou findest eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di nea wuhu wɔ wʼanim no, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee yi, na afei kɔ na kɔkasa kyerɛ Israelfo.”
2 And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll.
Enti mibuee mʼanom na ɔde nhoma mmobɔwee no maa me dii.
3 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed, and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving unto thee;' and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee a mede rema wo yi fa hyɛ wo yafunu ma.” Enti midii na na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwo wɔ mʼanom.
4 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, go, enter in unto the house of Israel, and thou hast spoken with My words unto them.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, afei kɔ Israelfo nkyɛn na kɔka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
5 For, not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue [art] thou sent — unto the house of Israel;
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bi a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ anaa ntease nni mu nkyɛn na meresoma wo, mmom meresoma wo Israelfo hɔ.
6 not unto many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou dost not understand. If I had not sent thee unto them — they, they do hearken unto thee,
Ɛnyɛ nnipa bebree a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ na ɛyɛ den, wɔn a wonte wɔn kasa ase nkyɛn. Ampa, sɛ mesomaa wo wɔ saa nnipa yi nkyɛn a, anka wotiee wo.
7 but the house of Israel are not willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
Nanso Israelfo mpɛ sɛ wotie wo, efisɛ wɔmpɛ sɛ wotie me. Israel nyinaa ayɛ komapirim ne asoɔden.
8 'Lo, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
Ɛno nti mɛma woayɛ asoɔden ne komapirim te sɛ wɔn.
9 As an adamant harder than a rock I have made thy forehead; thou dost not fear them, nor art thou affrighted before them, for a rebellious house [are] they.'
Mɛyɛ wo moma dennen sɛ apemmo, nea ɛyɛ den sen ɔtwɛrebo. Nsuro wɔn na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo de.”
10 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, all My words, that I speak unto thee, receive with thy heart, and with thine ears hear;
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, tie me nsɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no yiye na dwene ho wɔ wo koma mu.
11 and go, enter in unto the Removed, unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast spoken unto them, and hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: whether they hear, or whether they forbear.'
Afei kɔ wo nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ nnommum mu na kasa kyerɛ wɔn. Se wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se,’ sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo.”
12 And lift me up doth a spirit, and I hear behind me a noise, a great rushing — 'Blessed [is] the honour of Jehovah from His place!' —
Na Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro na metee sɛ nnyigyei dennen bi reworo so wɔ mʼakyi bere a na Awurade anuonyam rema ne ho so wɔ ne gyinabea hɔ no
13 even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels over-against them, even a noise of a great rushing.
Na ɛyɛ nnyigyei a efi ateasefo no ntaban a ɛkeka twiw ho ne nkyimii a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no. Nnyigyei dennen a ɛworo so.
14 And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah on me [is] strong.
Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro de me kɔɔ baabi, mekɔɔ no nweenwen ne honhom mu abufuw so, a na Awurade tumi yɛ kɛse wɔ me so.
15 And I come in unto the Removed, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
Mebaa nnommum a wɔtete Tel Abib a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Kebar no nkyɛn. Na hɔ na me ne wɔn tenaa nnanson, na me ho dwiriw me.
16 And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven days,
Nnanson akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
17 that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them from Me.
“Onipa ba, mayɛ wo ɔwɛmfo ama Israel; ɛno nti tie asɛm a meka no, na bɔ wɔn kɔkɔ a efi me.
18 In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he — the wicked — in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require.
Sɛ meka kyerɛ omumɔyɛfo se, ‘Ampa ara wubewu’ na sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ anaasɛ woankasa ankyerɛ no amma wantwe ne ho amfi nʼakwammɔne ho annya nkwa a, saa omumɔyɛfo no bewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
19 And thou, because thou hast warned the wicked, and he hath not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he in his iniquity dieth, and thou thy soul hast delivered.
Nanso sɛ wobɔ omumɔyɛfo no kɔkɔ na sɛ wansakra amfi nʼamumɔyɛ anaa nʼakwammɔne ho a, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, nanso na woagye wo ho nkwa.
20 'And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he hath done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dieth; because thou hast not warned him, in his sin he dieth, and not remembered is his righteousness that he hath done, and his blood from thy hand I require.
“Bio, sɛ ɔtreneeni dan fi trenee ho kɔyɛ bɔne a, mede hintidua bɛto nʼanim ama no ahwe ase, na wawu. Sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ nti, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu. Adetrenee ahorow a ɔyɛe no, wɔrenkae na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
21 And thou, because thou hast warned him — the righteous — that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast delivered.'
Nanso sɛ wobɔ ɔtreneeni no kɔkɔ sɛ onnyae bɔneyɛ na ogyae a, obenya nkwa efisɛ otiee kɔkɔbɔ, na wo nso wubegye wo ho nkwa.”
22 And there is on me there a hand of Jehovah, and He saith to me, 'Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I do speak with thee.'
Na Awurade tumi baa me so wɔ hɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na kɔ tataw no so, na hɔ na mɛkasa akyerɛ wo.”
23 And I rise and go forth unto the valley, and lo, there the honour of Jehovah is standing as the honour that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
Enti mesɔre kɔɔ tataw no so. Na Awurade anuonyam te sɛ nea mihuu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no gyina hɔ, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.
24 And come into me doth a spirit, and causeth me to stand on my feet, and He speaketh with me, and saith unto me, 'Go in, be shut up in the midst of thy house.
Afei Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu na ɔmaa me so gyinaa hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ na kɔto wo ho pon mu wɔ wo fi.
25 'And thou, son of man, lo, they have put on thee thick bands, and have bound thee with them, and thou goest not forth in their midst;
Na wo, onipa ba, wɔde ntampehama bɛkyekyere wo sɛnea worentumi mpue nkɔ nnipa no mu.
26 and thy tongue I cause to cleave unto thy palate, and thou hast been dumb, and art not to them for a reprover, for a rebellious house [are] they.
Na mɛma wo tɛkrɛma atare wʼanom sɛnea wobɛyɛ komm a worentumi nka wɔn anim, efisɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
27 And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house [are] they.
Nanso sɛ mekasa kyerɛ wo a, mebue wʼano ama woaka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni!’ Nea obetie no ma no ntie, na nea ɔmpɛ sɛ otie no mma no ntie; na wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
