Hezekiel 13

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

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!’”

and he seide, Sone of man, profesie thou to the profetis of Israel that profesien; and thou schalt seie to hem that profesien of her herte,

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!

Here ye the word of the Lord. The Lord God seith these thingis, Wo to the vnwise profetis, that suen her spirit, and seen no thing;

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

Israel, thi profetis weren as foxis in desert.

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.

Ye stieden not euene ayens, nether ayensettiden a wal for the hous of Israel, that ye shulden stonde in batel in the dai of the Lord.

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.

Thei seen veyn thingis, and deuynen a leesyng, and seien, The Lord seith, whanne the Lord sente not hem; and thei contynueden to conferme the word.

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

Whether ye seen not a veyn visioun, and spaken fals diuynyng, and seiden, The Lord seith, whanne Y spak not?

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.

Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For ye spaken veyn thingis, and sien a leesyng, therfor lo! Y to you, seith the Lord God.

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 myn hond schal be on the profetis that seen veyn thingis, and dyuynen a leesyng; thei schulen not be in the councel of my puple, and thei schulen not be writun in the scripture of the hous of Israel, nether thei schulen entre in to the lond of Israel; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.

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,

For thei disseyueden my puple, and seiden, Pees, pees, and no pees is; and it bildide a wal, but thei pargitiden it with fen with out chaffis.

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

Seie thou to hem that pargiten with out temperure, that it schal falle doun; for a strong reyn schal be flowynge, and I shal yyue ful grete stoones fallinge fro aboue, and Y schal yyue a wynd of tempest that distrieth.

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

For lo! the wal felle doun. Whether it schal not be seid to you, Where is the pargetyng, which ye pargetiden?

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.

Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal make the spirit of tempestis to breke out in myn indignacioun, and strong reyn flowynge in my strong veniaunce schal be, and greet stoonys in wraththe in to wastyng.

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 Y schal distrie the wal, which ye pargetiden with out temperure, and Y schal make it euene with the erthe; and the foundement therof schal be schewid, and it schal falle doun, and it schal be wastid in the myddis therof; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.

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 Y schal fille myn indignacioun in the wal, and in hem that pargeten it with out temperure; and Y schal seie to you, The wal is not, and thei ben not,

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.”’

that pargeten it, the profetis of Israel, that profesien to Jerusalem, and seen to it the visioun of pees, and pees is not, seith the Lord God.

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 thou, sone of man, sette thi face ayens the douytris of thi puple, that profesien of her herte; and profesie thou on hem,

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 seie thou, The Lord God seith these thingis, Wo to hem that sowen togidere cuschens vndur ech cubit of hond, and maken pilewis vndur the heed of ech age, to take soulis; and whanne thei disseyueden the soulis of my puple, thei quykenyden the soulis of hem.

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 thei defouliden me to my puple, for an handful of barli, and for a gobet of breed, that thei schulden sle soulis that dien not, and quykene soulis that lyuen not; and thei lieden to my puple, bileuynge to leesyngis.

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.

For this thing the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y to youre cuschens, bi whiche ye disseyuen soulis fliynge; and Y schal al to-breke tho fro youre armes, and Y schal delyuere soulis which ye disseyuen, soulis to fle.

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

And Y schal al to-breke youre pilewis, and Y schal delyuere my puple fro youre hond; and thei schulen no more be in youre hondis, to be robbid; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.

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,

For that that ye maden falsli the herte of a iust man to morene, whom Y made not sori; and ye coumfortiden the hondis of a wickid man, that he schulde not turne ayen fro his yuel weie, and lyue.

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

Therfor ye schulen not se veyn thingis, and ye schulen no more dyuyne false dyuynyngis; and Y schal delyuere my puple fro youre hond, and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
