Hezekiel 13

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖila siwo le nya gblɔm ɖi fifia la ŋu. Gblɔe na wo dometɔ siwo gblɔa nya ɖi tso woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu me be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya!’”

O son of humankind prophesy against [the] prophets of Israel who are prophesying and you will say to [the] prophets from own heart their hear [the] word of Yahweh.

3 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Baba na nyagblɔɖila siwo nye abunɛtɔwo, ame siwo dzea woawo ŋutɔ ƒe gbɔgbɔ yome, eye womekpɔa naneke o!

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! on the prophets the fools who [are] walking after own spirit their and to not they have seen.

4 O Israel, wò nyagblɔɖilawo le abe abei siwo le gli gbagbãwo dome ene.

Like foxes among ruins prophets your O Israel they have been.

5 Mieyi glia ƒe gbagbãƒewo ne miadzrae ɖo na Israel ƒe aƒe la, ale be wòate ŋu anɔ te sesĩe le aʋa me le Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la dzi o.

Not you have gone up in the breaches and you have walled up a wall on [the] house of Israel to stand in the battle on [the] day Yahweh.

6 Woƒe ŋutegawo nye aʋatso, eye woƒe nukakawo nye alakpa; wogblɔna be, “Yehowae gblɔe,” le esime Yehowa medɔ wo o, ke wokpɔa mɔ be, yewoƒe nyawo nava eme.

They have seen worthlessness and divination of falsehood those [who] say [the] utterance of Yahweh and Yahweh not he has sent them and they have waited to fulfill a word.

7 Ɖe miekpɔa aʋatsoŋutegawo, eye miekaa alakpanu esi miegblɔ be, “Yehowae gblɔe” evɔ nyemegblɔ nenema oa?

¿ Not a vision of worthlessness have you seen and divination of falsehood have you said? and [you were] saying [the] utterance of Yahweh and I not I have spoken.

8 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Le miaƒe nya dzodzrowo kple miaƒe alakpaŋutegawo ta la, metso ɖe mia ŋu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have spoken you worthlessness and you have seen falsehood therefore here I [am] against you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

9 Makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe nyagblɔɖila siwo kpɔa alakpaŋutegawo ŋu, eye womanɔ nye amewo ƒe aɖaŋudelawo dome o. Wokaa aʋatsonukakawo, womaŋlɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe Israel ƒe aƒemetɔwo dome o, eye womage ɖe Israel ƒe anyigba dzi hã o. Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.’”

And it will be hand my against the prophets who see worthlessness and who divine falsehood in [the] council of people my not they will be and in [the] register of [the] house of Israel not they will be written down and into [the] land of Israel not they will go and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.

10 “Le esime wokplɔ nye amewo trae to gbɔgblɔ me be, ‘Ŋutifafa’ li, esime ŋutifafa menɔ anyi o, eye ne wotu gli masemasẽ aɖe la, wosiaa akalo nɛ la,

Because and by cause they have led astray people my saying peace and there not [is] peace and he [is] building a wall and there they [are] plastering it whitewash.

11 eya ta gblɔ na akalosilawo be, gli la le mumu ge. Tsi adza bababa, maɖo tsikpe ɖa, eye mana ahom sesẽwo natu.

Say to [the] plasterers of whitewash so it may fall it will come - rain overflowing and you O stones of hail you will fall and a wind of tempests it will break through [the wall].

12 Ne gli la mu la, ɖe amewo mabia mi be, ‘Afi ka akalo si miesi nɛ la le o’ mahã?”

And there! it has fallen the wall ¿ not will it be said to you where? [is] the plaster which you plastered.

13 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Eya ta le nye dɔmedzoe me la, mana ya sesẽ aɖe naƒo, eye le nye dziku me la, mana tsikpe kple tsi nadza bababa, eye woagblẽ nu.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will make break out a wind of tempests in rage my and rain overflowing in anger my it will come and stones of hail in rage for complete destruction.

14 Mamu gli si miesi akalo na, magbãe wòasɔ kple anyigba, ale be eƒe gɔmeɖoɖo natsi gota. Ne emu la, atsrɔ̃ mi, ekema mianyae be, nyee nye Yehowa.

And I will tear down the wall which you plastered whitewash and I will make touch it the ground and it will be uncovered foundation[s] its and it will fall and you will come to an end in [the] midst of it and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

15 Ale maɖe nye dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe gli la kple ame siwo si akalo nɛ la ŋu. Magblɔ na mi be, “Gli la megali o, eya ta ame siwo si akalo nɛ la hã maganɔ anyi o.

And I will complete rage my on the wall and on [those who] plastered it whitewash so I may say to you there not [is] the wall and there [are] not those [who] plastered it.

16 Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖila siwo gblɔ nya ɖi le Yerusalem la, kpɔ ŋutifafa ƒe ŋutega, le esime ŋutifafa aɖeke menɔ anyi o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”’

[the] prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and who saw for it a vision of peace and there not [was] peace [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

17 “Azɔ, ame vi, trɔ wò mo ɖe wò amewo ƒe vinyɔnuvi siwo gblɔ nya ɖi le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu nu la ŋu. Gblɔ nya ɖi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu,

And you O son of humankind set face your against [the] daughters of people your who prophesy from own heart their and prophesy on them.

18 nàgblɔ be nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Baba na nyɔnu siwo doa dzokawo ɖe woƒe alɔnuwo katã, eye wowɔa motsyɔnu didime vovovowo ɖe ta, ale be woatre mɔ na amewo. Ɖe miatre mɔ na nye amewo ƒe agbe, ke miaɖe miawo ŋutɔ tɔa?

And you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe! to [women who] sew bands on - all [the] joints of hands my and [women who] make the long veils on [the] head of every stature to hunt persons ¿ persons will you hunt of people my and persons of yourself will you preserve alive?

19 Miegblɔ nya vlowo ɖe ŋunye le nye amewo dome ɖe lu asiʋlo ʋɛ aɖewo kple abolo kakɛwo ta. To miaƒe aʋatsokaka na nye ame siwo ɖoa to miaƒe alakpanyawo me la, miewu ame siwo maku hafi o, eye mieɖe ame siwo matsi agbe hafi o la ƒe agbe.’

And you have profaned me to people my for handfuls of barley and for fragments of bread by putting to death persons who not they will die and by preserving alive persons who not they will live when speak falsehood you to people my [who] listen to falsehood.

20 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Metsi tsitre ɖe miaƒe dzoka siwo mietsɔna ɖea amewo abe xeviwo ene la ŋuti, eye maɖe wo ɖa le miaƒe abɔwo ŋu. Mana ablɔɖe ame siwo mietre mɔ na abe xeviwo ene.

Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against bands your which you [are] hunting there the persons for birds and I will tear away them from on arms your and I will set free the persons whom you [are] hunting persons for birds.

21 Mavuvu miaƒe motsyɔnuwo, maɖe nye amewo tso miaƒe asi me, eye womaganɔ miaƒe ŋusẽ te o. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.

And I will tear away long veils your and I will deliver people my from hand your and not they will become again in hand your prey and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

22 Esi mietsɔ alakpa ɖe dzi le ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒo le esime nyemeda nuxaxa ɖe wo dzi o, eye esi miedo ŋusẽ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo be womagaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu o, ale be woaɖe woƒe agbe o ta la,

Because disheartened [the] heart of [the] righteous falsehood and I not I caused pain him and to strengthen [the] hands of [the] wicked to not to turn back from way his evil to preserve alive him.

23 miagakpɔ alakpaŋutegawo o, eye miagagblɔ alakpanyawo ɖi o. Maɖe nye amewo tso miaƒe asi me. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”

Therefore worthlessness not you will see and divination not you will divine again and I will deliver people my from hand your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
