Ezekiel 6

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

2 'Son of man, set thy face unto mountains of Israel, and prophesy concerning them:

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,

3 And thou hast said: Mountains of Israel, Hear ye a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys, Lo, I, I am bringing in against you a sword, And I have destroyed your high places.

na ka sɛ, ‘Ao Israel mmepɔ montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, abon ne mmɔnhwa: Merebɛtwe mo so akofena na masɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea.

4 And desolated have been your altars, And broken your images, And I have caused your wounded to fall before your idols,

Wɔbɛbubu mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no na wɔasɛe nnuhwam adum; na mɛkunkum mo nkurɔfoɔ wɔ mo ahoni anim.

5 And put the carcases of the sons of Israel before their idols, And scattered your bones round about your altars.

Mede Israelfoɔ afunu bɛgugu wɔn ahoni anim, na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ ho.

6 In all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the high places are desolate, So that waste and desolate are your altars, And broken and ceased have your idols, And cut down have been your images, And blotted out have been your works.

Baabiara a moteɛ no, nkuro no bɛda mpan, na ne sorɔnsorɔmmea bɛsɛe, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no bɛda mpan na ayɛ afo. Mo ahoni bɛbubu na asɛe. Mo nnuhwam adum bɛbubu agu fam, na deɛ moayɛ nso bɛhwere mo.

7 And fallen hath the wounded in your midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

Mo nkurɔfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.

8 And I have caused [some] to remain, In their being to you the escaped of the sword among nations, In your being scattered through lands.

“‘Nanso mɛgya mo mu bi, ɛfiri sɛ ebinom bɛdwane akofena ano wɔ ɛberɛ a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.

9 And remembered Me have your escaped among nations, Whither they have been taken captive, Because I have been broken with their heart that is going a-whoring, That hath turned aside from off Me, And with their eyes they are going a-whoring after their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces, For the evils that they have done — all their abominations.

Na afei wɔ amanaman a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum kɔɔ mu no, wɔn a wɔnyaa wɔn ho firii mu no bɛkae me, sɛdeɛ madi awerɛhoɔ wɔ wɔn awaresɛeɛ akoma a wɔde twee wɔn ho firii me nkyɛn, ne wɔn ani a wɔde nyaa akɔnnɔ bɔne maa wɔn ahoni. Wɔn ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwunu wɔ bɔne ne akyiwadeɛ a wɔayɛ enti.

10 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, Not for nought have I spoken to do to them this evil.

Wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.

11 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Smite with thy palm, and stamp with thy foot, And say: Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, Who by sword, by famine, and by pestilence do fall.

“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mommɔ mo nsam na momfa mo nan mpempem fam na monteam sɛ, “A!” Esiane Israel efie amumuyɛ ne akyiwadeɛ nyinaa enti, wɔbɛwuwu akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano.

12 The far-off by pestilence dieth, And the near by sword falleth, And the left and the besieged by famine dieth, And I have completed my fury upon them.

Ɔyaredɔm bɛkum deɛ ɔwɔ akyirikyiri. Deɛ ɔbɛn no bɛtɔ akofena ano na deɛ ɔbɛfiri mu na waka no, ɛkɔm bɛkum no. Saa na mede mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛyɛ wɔn.

13 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In their wounded being in the midst of their idols, Round about their altars, On every high hill, on all tops of mountains, And under every green tree, and under every thick oak, The place where they gave sweet fragrance to all their idols.

Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, ɛberɛ a wɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔatotɔ afunu deda wɔn ahoni ntam atwa wɔn afɔrebukyia ho ahyia, wɔ nkokoɔ a ɛkorɔn nyinaa so, mmepɔ atifi nyinaa ne nnua a adendan ne odum frɔmfrɔm ase, mmea mmea a wɔde nnuhwam bɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn ahoni nyinaa.

14 And I have stretched out my hand against them, And have made the land a desolation, Even a desolation from the wilderness to Diblath, In all their dwellings, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'

Afei mɛtene me nsa wɔ wɔn so na mama asase no ada mpan afiri anweatam no akɔsi Ribla, baabiara a wɔtete. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’”
