Hezekiel 14
1 Israel ƒe ametsitsi aɖewo va gbɔnye, eye wonɔ anyi ɖe nye ŋkume.
And men of the eldris of Israel camen to me, and saten bifor me.
2 Tete Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Sone of man,
3 “Ame vi, ame siawo li legbawo ɖe woƒe dzi me, eye woɖi afɔklinu vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe woƒe ŋkume. Ɖe mana woabia gbem mahã?
these men han set her vnclennesses in her hertis, and han set stidfastli the sclaundre of her wickidnesse ayens her face. Whether Y `that am axid, schal answere to hem?
4 Eya ta gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ne Israelvi aɖe li legbawo ɖe eƒe dzi me, tsɔ afɔklinu vɔ̃ɖi da ɖe eƒe ŋkume, eye wòyi nyagblɔɖila aɖe gbɔ la, nye, Yehowa, ŋutɔ maɖo nya la ŋu nɛ le eya ŋutɔ ƒe legbawo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.
For this thing speke thou to hem, and thou schalt seie to hem, These thingis seith the Lord God, A man, a man of the hous of Israel, that settith hise vnclennessis in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundre of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and cometh to the profete, and axith me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere to hym in the multitude of hise vnclennessis;
5 Mawɔ alea ale be magbugbɔ Israel ƒe ame siwo katã gblẽm ɖi le woƒe legbawo ta la ƒe dziwo axɔ.’
that the hous of Israel be takun in her herte, bi which thei yeden awei fro me in alle her idols.
6 “Eya ta gblɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe la be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi; mitrɔ dzi me! Miɖe asi le miaƒe legbawo ŋu, eye miagbe nu le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ gbɔ!’
Therfor seie thou to the hous of Israel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Be ye conuertid, and go ye awei fro youre idols, and turne awei youre faces fro alle youre filthis.
7 “‘Ne Israelvi alo amedzro aɖe si le Israel gbe nu le gbɔnye, eye wòɖo legbawo ɖe eƒe dzi me hetsɔ afɔklinu vɔ̃ɖi aɖe ɖo eƒe ŋkume hafi yi nyagblɔɖila aɖe gbɔ be yeabia nyae tso ŋunye la, nye Yehowa ŋutɔ, maɖo nya la ŋu nɛ.
For whi a man, a man of the hous of Israel, and of conuersis, who euer is a comelyng in Israel, if he is alienyd fro me, and settith hise idols in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundir of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and he cometh to the profete, to axe me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere hym bi my silf.
8 Matɔ ŋku ame ma, mawɔe wòanye kpɔɖeŋu kple nyatoto, eye maɖee ɖa le nye amewo dome. Ekema mianyae be, nyee nye Yehowa.’
And Y schal sette my face on that man, and Y schal make hym in to ensaumple, and in to a prouerbe, and Y schal leese hym fro the myddis of my puple; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
9 “‘Eye ne woflu nyagblɔɖila la be wòagblɔ nya ɖi la, nye Yehowae aflu nyagblɔɖila ma, makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe eŋu, eye matsrɔ̃e le nye amewo dome le Israel.
And whanne a profete errith, and spekith a word, Y the Lord schal disseyue that profete; and Y schal stretche forth myn hond on hym, and Y schal do hym awei fro the myddis of my puple Israel.
10 Ame sia ame atsɔ eƒe vodada, nyagblɔɖila la kple ame siwo bia gbee siaa, woanye vodalawo.
And thei schulen bere her wickidnesse; bi the wickidnesse of the axere, so the wickidnesse of the profete schal be;
11 Ekema Israelviwo magatra mɔ tso gbɔnye o, eye womagagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã o. Woanye nye amewo eye nye hã manye woƒe Mawu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.’”
that the hous of Israel erre no more fro me, nether be defoulid in alle her trespassyngis; but that it be in to a puple to me, and Y be in to a God to hem, seith the Lord of oostis.
12 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide,
13 “Ame vi, ne dukɔ aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutinye, eye meto nyateƒe nam o la, makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe eŋu be maɖo asi eƒe nuɖuɖukpɔtsoƒe dzi; ekema dɔwuame ava edzi, eye mawu eƒe amewo kple eƒe lãwo,
Sone of man, whanne the lond synneth ayens me, that it trespassynge do trespas, Y schal stretche forth myn hond on it, and Y schal al to-breke the yerde of breed therof; and Y schal sende hungur in to it, and Y schal sle of it man and beeste.
14 nenye be ame etɔ̃ siawo, Noa, Daniel kple Hiob gɔ̃ hã anɔ wo dome. Woatsɔ woƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye aɖe woawo ŋutɔ ɖeɖe ko. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
And if these thre men Noe, Danyel, and Job, ben in the myddis therof, thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis, seith the Lord of oostis.
15 “Alo ne meɖo lã wɔadãwo ɖa be woato anyigba ma dzi, eye wowu wo viwo katã, eye anyigba la zu gbegbe, ale be ame aɖeke magate ŋu ato edzi ayi o le lã wɔadãawo ta la,
That if also Y brynge in worste beestis on the lond, that Y distrie it, and if it is with out weie, for that no passer is for the beestis,
16 Aƒetɔ Yehowa be yeta yeƒe agbe be ne ame etɔ̃ siawo anɔ wo dome gɔ̃ hã la, womate ŋu aɖe wo viŋutsuwo alo wo vinyɔnuwo o. Woawo ɖeɖe koe akpɔ ɖeɖe, ke anyigba la ya azu gbegbe.
and these thre men, that `ben bifore seid, ben therynne, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen nethir delyuere sones, nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be deliuered; forsothe the lond schal be maad desolat.
17 “Alo ne meɖo yi ɖe anyigba ma dzi hegblɔ be, ‘Yi la nato anyigba la dzi,’ eye mewu eƒe amewo kple woƒe lãwo la,
Ethir if Y brynge in swerd on that lond, and Y seie to the swerd, Passe thou thorouy the lond, and Y sle of it man and beeste,
18 Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, yeta ye ŋutɔ ƒe agbe be, ne ame etɔ̃ siawo nɔ anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã la, womate ŋu aɖe wo viŋutsuwo alo wo vinyɔnuwo o. Woawo ŋutɔ ko woaɖe.
and these thre men ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, that thei schulen not delyuere sones nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be delyuered.
19 “Alo ne meɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe anyigba ma dzi, eye meɖe nye dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe edzi to ʋukɔkɔɖi me hewu eƒe amewo kple woƒe lãwo la,
Forsothe if Y brynge in also pestilence on that lond, and Y schede out myn indignacioun on it in blood, that Y do awei fro it man and beeste,
20 Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, yeta ye ŋutɔ yeƒe agbe be, ne Noa, Daniel kple Hiob anɔ anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã la, womate ŋu aɖe wo viŋutsuwo alo wo vinyɔnuwo o. Woawo ŋutɔ ɖokui ko woate ŋu aɖe kple woƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye.
and Noe, and Danyel, and Joob, ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen not delyuere a sone and a douyter, but thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis.
21 “Elabena ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Aleke gbegbe wòagasẽ wu ne medɔ nye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ dziŋɔ ene siawo, yi, dɔwuame, lã wɔadãwo kple dɔvɔ̃ ɖa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu be woawu eƒe amewo kple eƒe lãwo siaa!
For the Lord God seith these thingis, That thouy Y sende in my foure worste domes, swerd, and hungur, and yuele beestis, and pestilence, in to Jerusalem, that Y sle of it man and beeste,
22 Ke agbetsila aɖewo anɔ anyi anye viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu siwo woaɖe tso eme. Woaʋu le mia gbɔ, eye ne mekpɔ woƒe zɔzɔme kple nuwɔnawo la, miaƒe akɔ afa le dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe si mehe va Yerusalem dzi la ta.
netheles saluacioun of hem that leden out sones and douytris, schal be left ther ynne. Lo! thei schulen go out to you, and ye schulen se the weie of hem, and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen be coumfortid on the yuel, which Y brouyte in on Jerusalem, in alle thingis whiche Y bar in on it.
23 Woafa akɔ na mi ne miekpɔ woƒe zɔzɔme kple woƒe nuwɔnawo, elabena mianya be nyemewɔ naneke dzodzro o.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
And thei schulen coumforte you, whanne ye schulen se the weie of hem and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen knowe, that not in veyn Y dide alle thingis, what euer thingis Y dide there ynne, seith the Lord almyyti.
