Hezekiel 25

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

2 “Ame vi, trɔ mo ɖe Amonitɔwo ŋu, eye nàgblɔ nya ɖi ɖe wo ŋu.

"Son of man, set your face toward the people of Ammon, and prophesy against them:

3 Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya. Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, esi miegblɔ be, “Ahã” ɖe nye kɔkɔeƒe la ŋu le esime wodo gui, ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu esime wòzu gbegbe, eye ɖe Yuda ŋu esime woɖe aboyo eƒe amewo ta la,

and tell the people of Ammon, 'Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus says Jehovah, "Because you said, 'Aha,' against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:

4 matsɔ mi ade asi na Ɣedzeƒenyigbadzitɔwo, miazu wo tɔ. Woatso nɔƒe, eye woatu woƒe agbadɔwo ɖe mia dome; woaɖu miaƒe kutsetsewo, eye woano miaƒe notsi.

therefore, look, I will deliver you to the people of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

5 Matrɔ Raba wòazu gbeɖuƒe na kposɔwo, eye Amoninyigba azu gbɔɖemeƒe na alẽwo. Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.

I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the people of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am Jehovah."

6 Elabena alea Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ: esi mieƒo asikpe, tu afɔ anyi le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ me kple ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo le miaƒe dzi me ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu ta la,

For thus says Jehovah: "Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel;

7 mado nye asi ɖa ɖe mia ŋu, eye matsɔ mi ana dukɔwo abe nuhaha ene. Maɖe mi ɖa le dukɔwo dome, eye matsrɔ̃ mi le anyigbawo dzi. Matsrɔ̃ mi, eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”

therefore, look, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am Jehovah."'"

8 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Esi Moabtɔwo kple Seirtɔwo gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Yuda ƒe aƒe zu abe dukɔ bubuwo ene” ta la,

"Thus says Jehovah: 'Because Moab and Seir say, "Look, the house of Judah is like all the nations";

9 maɖe Moab ƒe abɔta ɖe go, madze egɔme tso liƒodziduwo, Bet Yesimot, Baal Meon kple Kiriataim, du siwo nye anyigba ma ƒe atsyɔ̃ la dzi.

therefore, look, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Matsɔ Moabtɔwo kple Amonitɔ na ɣedzeƒetɔwo woazu wo tɔ, ale be womagaɖo ŋku Amonitɔwo dzi le dukɔwo dome o,

to the people of the east, to go against the people of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the people of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

11 eye mahe to na Moabtɔwo vevie. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”

and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'"

12 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Esi Edomtɔwo bia hlɔ̃ Yuda ƒe aƒe eye wodze agɔ vevie to nu sia wɔwɔ me ta la,

"Thus says Jehovah: 'Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them';

13 ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Mado nye asi ɖa ɖe Edom ŋu, eye mawu eƒe amewo kple woƒe lãwo. Mana wòazu gbegbe, eye eƒe amewo atsi yi nu tso Teman va se ɖe Dedan.

therefore thus says Jehovah, 'I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

14 Mabia hlɔ̃ Edom to nye amewo, Israel ƒe asi dzi, eye woatu nu kple Edom le nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ nu. Woadze si nye hlɔ̃biabia.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”

I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says Jehovah.'"

15 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Esi Filistitɔwo wɔ nu le hlɔ̃biabia me, eye wobia hlɔ̃ kple ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo si le dzi me na wo kple fuléle si nɔ wo me tso blema ke, be yewoatsrɔ̃ Yuda ta la,

"Thus says Jehovah: 'Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

16 ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Mele nye asi ɖo ge ɖa ɖe Filistitɔwo ŋu, mawu Keretitɔwo, eye matsrɔ̃ ame siwo susɔ ɖe atsiaƒu la nu.

therefore thus says Jehovah, Look, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 Mabia hlɔ̃ wo vevie, eye mahe to na wo le nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ me. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne mebia hlɔ̃ wo.’”

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.'"
