Hezekiel 34
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 alẽkplɔlawo ŋu. Gblɔ nya ɖi be nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Babaa na Israel ƒe alẽkplɔlawo, ame siwo léa be na woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ko! Ɖe alẽkplɔlawo makpɔ alẽhawo dzi oa?
O son of humankind prophesy on [the] shepherds of Israel prophesy and you will say to them to the shepherds thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe to! [the] shepherds of Israel who they have been shepherding themselves ¿ not the flock will they shepherd the shepherds.
3 Mienoa woƒe notsi, miedoa awu siwo wotsɔ woƒe alẽfu wɔe, eye miewua lã damitɔwo, ke mieléa be na alẽhawo o.
The fat you eat and the wool you clothe yourselves the fat [sheep] you slaughter the flock not you shepherd.
4 Miedo ŋusẽ alẽ siwo gbɔdzɔ o, mieda gbe le alẽ siwo dze dɔ la ŋu o, eye miebla abi na esiwo nu vevi wɔ o. Miekplɔ esiwo tra mɔ la gbɔe o, eye miedi esiwo bu o. Miekplɔ wo kple dzimagbɔɖi, eye miewɔ funyafunya wo.
The weak [ones] not you have strengthened and the sick [one] not you have healed and the broken [one] not you have bound up and the strayed [one] not you have brought back and the lost [one] not you have sought and with force you have ruled them and with harshness.
5 Ale wokaka, elabena alẽkplɔla aɖeke mele wo si o, eye esi wokaka la, wozu nuɖuɖu na lã wɔadãwo.
And they have been scattered because not a shepherd and they have become food for every animal of the field and they have been scattered.
6 Nye alẽwo tsa tsaglalã le towo kple togbɛ kɔkɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Wokaka ɖe afi sia afi le anyigba dzi, eye ame aɖeke medi wo o.’
They wander flock my on all the mountains and on every hill high and over all [the] surface of the earth they have been scattered flock my and there not [is one who] searches and there not [is one who] seeks.
7 “Eya ta, mi alẽkplɔlawo, mise Yehowa ƒe nya.
Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.
8 ‘Nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa, meta nye agbe be, esi alẽkplɔla meli na nye alẽawo o, zi ale si woha nye alẽawo, eye wozu nuɖuɖu na lã wɔadãwo, eye esi nye alẽkplɔlawo medi nye alẽawo o, ke boŋ wolé be na woawo ŋutɔ ɖokui, eye menye na nye alẽawo o ta la,
[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of - [the] Lord Yahweh if not because has become flock my - prey and they have become flock my food for every animal of the field from not shepherd and not they have searched for shepherds my flock my and they have shepherded the shepherds themselves and flock my not they have shepherded.
9 eya ta o, alẽkplɔlawo, mise Yehowa ƒe nyawo.’
Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.
10 Alea Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Metso ɖe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu, eye mana woana akɔnta tso nye alẽha ŋu. Mana woadzudzɔ alẽawo kpɔkplɔ ale be, alẽkplɔlawo magate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu wo ɖokuiwo o. Maɖe nye alẽha tso woƒe nu me, eye womaganye nuɖuɖu na wo o.’
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against the shepherds and I will seek flock my from hand their and I will cause to cease them from shepherding a flock and not they will shepherd again the shepherds themselves and I will deliver flock my from mouth their and not they will become for them food.
11 “Elabena esiae nye nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ, ‘Nye ŋutɔ madi nye alẽwo, eye makpɔ wo dzi.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here [am] I I and I will search for flock my and I will seek them.
12 Abe ale si alẽkplɔla kpɔa eƒe alẽ siwo ka hlẽ dzi ne ele wo gbɔ ene la, nenemae makpɔ nye alẽawo dzii. Maɖe wo tso teƒe siwo katã woka hlẽ yi la le lilikpowo kple viviti ƒe ŋkeke aɖe dzi.
Like [the] seeking of a shepherd flock his on [the] day is he in among flock his separated so I will seek flock my and I will deliver them from all the places where they were scattered there on a day of cloud and thick darkness.
13 Maɖe wo tso dukɔwo me, maƒo ƒu wo tso anyigbawo dzi, eye makplɔ wo ava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi. Mana woaɖu gbe le Israel towo dzi, le Israel ƒe baliwo me kple amenɔƒewo katã le anyigba la dzi.
And I will bring out them from the peoples and I will gather them from the lands and I will bring them to own land their and I will shepherd them to [the] mountains of Israel in the ravines and in all [the] habitable places of the land.
14 Makpɔ wo dzi le lãnyiƒe nyui aɖe, eye Israel ƒe tonyigbawo anye woƒe gbeɖuƒe. Afi ma woatsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe gbeɖuƒe nyui aɖe, eye afi ma woaɖu gbe le lãnyiƒe dama aɖe le Israel ƒe towo dzi.
In pasture good I will shepherd them and on [the] mountains of [the] height of Israel it will be pastureland their there they will lie down in pastureland good and pasture rich they will graze to [the] mountains of Israel.
15 Nye ŋutɔ makpɔ nye alẽwo dzi, eye mana woamlɔ anyi.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
I I will shepherd flock my and I I will make lie down them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
16 Madi nye alẽ bubuawo, eye makplɔ mɔtralawo agbɔe. Mabla abi na esiwo nu vevi wɔ, mado ŋusẽ esiwo gbɔdzɔ, ke mawu esiwo da ami kple esiwo nye lãmesẽtɔwo la. Makpɔ nye alẽawo dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye.
The lost [one] I will seek and the strayed [one] I will bring back and the broken [one] I will bind up and the sick [one] I will make strong and the fat [one] and the strong [one] I will destroy I will shepherd it with justice.
17 “Ke na mi, nye alẽawo la, aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. ‘Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ ɖeka kple alẽ bubu dome kple le agbowo kple gbɔ̃wo dome.
And you O flock my thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to judge between a sheep and a sheep and rams and male goats.
18 Ɖe mesɔ gbɔ na mi be miaɖu gbe le lãnyiƒe damawo oa? Ɖe wòle be miatu afɔ miaƒe lãnyiƒe si susɔ la dzia? Mesɔ gbɔ na mi be miano tsi nyui oa? Ɖe wòle be miatsɔ miaƒe afɔ ablu ba ɖe tsi si susɔ la mea?
¿ [too] little For you [is] the pasture good [which] you are grazing and [the] rest of pasture your you are trampling with feet your and clearness of waters [which] you are drinking and those [which] are left with feet your you are fouling!
19 Ɖe wòle be nye alẽha naɖu gbe si dzi mietu afɔe eye woano tsi si me miefa ba ɖo kple miaƒe afɔwoa?’
And flock my [the] trampling place of feet your they will graze and [the] befouled thing of feet your they will drink.
20 “Eya ta nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na woe nye, ‘Kpɔ ɖa, nye ŋutɔ madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ damiwo kple alẽ ɖikuwo dome.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to them here [am] I I and I will judge between a sheep fat and between a sheep lean.
21 Esi mietsɔ axadame kple abɔta mimi lã ŋusẽmanɔŋutɔwo katã ɖo, eye mietu dzo wo va se ɖe esime mienya wo de gbe la,
Because with side and with shoulder you push and with horns your you thrust at all the weak [ones] until that you have scattered them to the outside.
22 maɖe nye alẽha la, eye womagaha wo azɔ o. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ ɖeka kple bubu dome.
And I will save flock my and not they will become again prey and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep.
23 Mana alẽkplɔla ɖeka nye dɔla David nakplɔ wo, eye wòakpɔ wo dzi abe woƒe alẽkplɔla ene.
And I will raise up over them a shepherd one and he will shepherd them servant my David he he will shepherd them and he he will become for them a shepherd.
24 Nye, Yehowa, manye woƒe Mawu, eye nye dɔla, David anye fiavi ŋutsuvi anɔ wo dome.’ Nye, Yehowae gblɔe.
And I Yahweh I will become for them God and servant my David [will be] prince in midst of them I Yahweh I have spoken.
25 “‘Mabla ŋutifafa ƒe nu kpli wo, eye maɖe lã wɔadãwo ɖa le anyigba la dzi, ale be woanɔ gbegbe, eye woadɔ alɔ̃ le avewo me le dedinɔnɔ me.
And I will make to them a covenant of peace and I will cause to cease animal[s] wild from the land and they will dwell in the wilderness to security and they will sleep in the forests.
26 Mayra wo kpe ɖe teƒe siwo ƒo xlã nye to la ŋu. Mana tsi nadza le tsidzaɣi, yayra ƒe agbafie anɔ anyi.
And I will make them and around hill my a blessing and I will bring down the rain at appropriate time its rains of blessing they will be.
27 Atiwo le gbedzi atse ku, eye anyigba ana nuku nyuiwo, eye amewo anɔ dedie le woƒe anyigba dzi. Woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne meŋe woƒe kɔkutimegawo, eye meɖe wo tso ame siwo wɔ wo kluviwoe la ƒe asi me.
And it will give [the] tree[s] of the field fruit its and the land it will give produce its and they will be on own land their to security and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when break I [the] bars of yoke their and I will deliver them from [the] hand of those [who] labored by them.
28 Dukɔwo magaha wo azɔ o, eye lã wɔadãwo magavuvu wo o. Woanɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me, eye ame aɖeke magado ŋɔdzi na wo o.
And not they will be again spoil for the nations and [the] animal[s] of the land not it will devour them and they will dwell to security and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
29 Mana anyigba si xɔ ŋkɔ le eƒe nukuwo ta la wo, womagakpe fu le dɔwuame ƒe asi me le woƒe anyigba dzi o, eye dukɔwo magaɖu fewu le wo ŋu azɔ o.
And I will establish for them a planting place for name and not they will be again [those] gathered of famine in the land and not they will bear again [the] insult of the nations.
