Hezekiel 25

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:

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

Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, 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 say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou saidst, “Aha!” against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, therefore,

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.

behold, I will deliver thee to the sons of the East for a possession, and they shall set their folds in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

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

And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the land of the Ammonites a couching-place for flocks; and ye 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with thy feet, and rejoiced with all thy despite from the heart, 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, behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; I will cut thee off from the nations, and cause thee to perish from the countries; I will destroy thee; and thou shalt 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Moab and Seir say, “Behold, 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, behold, I will open the side of Moab from his cities, which are on his borders, 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 sons of the East will I give it for a possession, together with the sons of Ammon, that the sons of Ammon may be no more remembered among the nations;

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

and on Moab will I execute judgments, 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and unto 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.”

And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall deal with Edom according to mine anger, and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt with revenge, and have taken vengeance, with a despiteful heart, even to destruction, from the old hatred;

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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant upon the sea-coasts.

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.’”

And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah when I lay my vengeance upon them.
