Ezekiel 8
1 And it cometh to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and elders of Judah are sitting before me, and fall on me there doth a hand of the Lord Jehovah,
Afe a ɛto so asia mu, asram asia no da a ɛto so anum a na mete me fi, na Yuda mpanyimfo tete mʼanim no, Otumfo Awurade nsa baa me so wɔ hɔ.
2 and I look, and lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward — fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of copper.
Mehwɛe, na mihuu abɔsu bi a ɛte sɛ onipa. Efi baabi a ayɛ sɛ nʼasen mu rekɔ ne fam no, na ɔte sɛ ogya, na efi hɔ rekɔ ne soro no na ne tebea hyerɛn sɛ dade a adɔ.
3 And He putteth forth a form of a hand, and taketh me by a lock of my head, and lift me up doth a spirit between the earth and the heavens, and it bringeth me in to Jerusalem in visions of God, unto the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where [is] the seat of the figure of jealousy that is making jealous,
Ɔteɛɛ biribi te sɛ nsa de soo me tinwi mu faa me. Afei honhom no pagyaw me de me kɔɔ wim na ɛde me wuraa Onyankopɔn anisoadehu mu kɔɔ Yerusalem kogyinaa mfimfini adiwo no atifi pon ano, faako a ohoni a ɛyɛ ninkutwe farebae no si.
4 and lo, there the honour of the God of Israel, as the appearance that I saw in the valley.
Na hɔ, wɔ mʼanim na na Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam wɔ, te sɛ anisoadehu a minyaa no wɔ tataw no so no.
5 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes the way of the north.' And I lift up mine eyes the way of the north, and lo, on the north of the gate of the altar this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, hwɛ atifi fam hɔ.” Na mehwɛe, na mihuu saa ninkutwe farebae honi yi wɔ ɔpon a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no atifi fam no mu.
6 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, art thou seeing what they are doing? the great abominations that the house of Israel are doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations.'
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, wuhu nea wɔreyɛ yi, akyiwade a ɛmfra, a Israelfi reyɛ wɔ ha yi, nneɛma a ɛbɛpam me afi me kronkronbea akɔ akyirikyiri yi? Nanso wubehu nneɛma a ɛsen akyiwade yi koraa.”
7 And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall;
Afei ɔde me baa adiwo hɔ pon no ano. Mehwɛe, na mihuu tokuru wɔ ɔfasu no mu.
8 and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, tu ɔfasu no mu tokuru.” Enti mituu ɔfasu no mu tokuru, na mihuu ɔpon ano kwan bi wɔ hɔ.
9 And He saith to me, 'Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.'
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ mu na kɔhwɛ atirimɔdensɛm ne akyiwade a wɔreyɛ wɔ ha.”
10 And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast — and all the Idols of the house of Israel — graved on the wall, all round about,
Enti mekɔɔ mu kɔhwɛe, na mihuu afasu a wɔayɛ mmoa a wɔwea ahorow nyinaa ne mmoa a wɔyɛ akyiwade ne Israelfi ahoni ahorow nyinaa mfoni wɔ ho nyinaa.
11 and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel — and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst — are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.
Wɔn anim na na Israelfo mpanyimfo aduɔson gyinagyina a na Safan babarima Yaasania gyina wɔn mu. Na wɔn mu biara kura nkankyee ntrantraa a aduhuam wusiw huamhuam fi so rekɔ soro.
12 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'
Obisaa me se, “Onipa ba woahu nea Israelfo mpanyimfo no mu biara reyɛ wɔ nʼankasa honi abosonnan mu wɔ sum mu ana? Wɔka se, ‘Awurade nhu yɛn; Awurade agyaw asase no!’”
13 And He saith unto me, 'Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.'
Ɔkaa bio se, “Wubehu sɛ wɔreyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwade a mpo ɛsen eyi.”
14 And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the women are sitting weeping for Tammuz.
Afei ɔde me baa Awurade fi no atifi pon no kwan ano, na mihuu mmea a wɔtete hɔ resu Tamus.
15 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? again thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.'
Obisaa me se, “Onipa ba wuhu eyi? Wubehu nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwade a ɛsen eyi.”
16 And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.
Afei ɔde me baa Awurade fi adiwo a ɛwɔ mfimfini no, na hɔ, hyiadan no ano kwan, wɔ abrannaa ne afɔremuka no ntam, na hɔ na mmarima bɛyɛ aduonu anum wɔ. Wɔn akyi kyerɛ Awurade asɔredan na wɔn anim kyerɛ apuei fam, na wɔrekotow som owia a ɛwɔ apuei fam.
17 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? hath it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they are putting forth the branch unto their nose!
Obisaa me se, “Woahu eyi, onipa ba? Akyiwade a Yudafi reyɛ wɔ ha yi yɛ adewa ana? So ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde akakabensɛm hyɛ asase no so ma na wɔkɔ so hyɛ me abufuw ana? Hwɛ wɔabu me animtiaa agu mʼanim ase!
18 And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried in Mine ears — a loud voice — and I do not hear them.'
Ɛno nti, me ne wɔn bedi no abufuw so. Merenhu wɔn mmɔbɔ na meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ, wɔteɛ mu tuatua mʼaso de, nanso merentie wɔn.”
