Hezekiel 36

1 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel towo ŋu, eye nàgblɔ be, ‘O! Israel towo, mise Yehowa ƒe nya.

And you O son of humankind prophesy to [the] mountains of Israel and you will say O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of Yahweh.

2 Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, futɔ la gblɔ tso ŋuwò be, “Ahã! Gbe aɖe gbe ƒe towo zu mía tɔ.”’

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because he has said the enemy on you aha! and [the] high places of antiquity a possession it has become of us.

3 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi be, ‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye be, esi wogblẽ mi, eye woɖe aɖutame ɖe mia ŋu le goawo katã me be miazu dukɔ mamlɛawo tɔ kple woƒe alɔmeɖenu kple ɖiŋudonu ta la,

Therefore prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because by cause to desolate and to crush you from round about to be you a possession of [the] rest of the nations and you have been taken up on a lip of a tongue and [the] whispering of [the] people.

4 eya ta, O! Israel towo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nyawo. Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na towo kple togbɛwo, gbadzaƒewo kple balimewo, gbegbewo kple aƒedo duwo, teƒe siwo dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi ha, eye wodo vlo mi la,’

Therefore O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of [the] Lord Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys and to the waste places desolate and to the cities forsaken which they have become spoil and mockery to [the] rest of the nations which [are] from round about.

5 Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, ‘Metsɔ nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dzo bibi ƒo nu ɖe dukɔ mamlɛawo kple Edom ŋu, elabena wotsɔ dzidzɔ kple ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo wɔ nye anyigba wo tɔe, ale be woaha eƒe lãnyiƒewo.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if not in [the] fire of jealousy my I have spoken on [the] rest of the nations and on Edom all of it which they made land my - for themselves into a possession with joy of every heart with scorn of self so that pastureland its [becomes] spoil.

6 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi tso Israelnyigba ŋuti, eye nàgblɔ na towo kple togbɛwo, gbadzaƒewo kple balimewo be, “Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, mele nu ƒom le nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dziku me, elabena miekpe fu le dukɔwo ƒe fewuɖuɖu me.

Therefore prophesy on [the] land of Israel and you will say to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I in jealousy my and in rage my I have spoken because [the] insult[s] of nations you have borne.

7 Eya ta aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Mekɔ nye asi dzi heka atam be woaɖu fewu le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la hã ŋu.”’

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I I lift up hand my if not the nations which to you [are] from round about they insult[s] their they will bear.

8 “Ke miawo, O! Israel towo, miatse ku geɖewo na nye dukɔ Israel, elabena woƒe gbɔgbɔɣi tu aƒe.

And you O mountains of Israel branch[es] your you will extend and fruit your you will bear for people my Israel for they have brought near to come.

9 Metsi dzi ɖe mia ŋu, eye makpɔ nublanui na mi. Woaŋlɔ mi, woaƒã nukuwo ɖe mia dzi,

For here I [am] with you and I will turn to you and you will be tilled and you will be sown.

10 eye mana amewo nasɔ gbɔ ɖe mia dzi, Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la gɔ̃ hã. Amewo anɔ duawo me, eye woagbugbɔ du gbagbãwo atu.

And I will multiply on you human[s] all [the] house of Israel all of it and they will be inhabited the cities and the waste places they will be rebuilt.

11 Madzi amewo kple lãwo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ɖe edzi le mia dzi, woadzi, eye woasɔ gbɔ. Mana amewo nanɔ mia dzi abe tsã ene, eye nuwo anyo na mi wu tsã. Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.

And I will multiply on you human[s] and animal[s] and they will increase and they will be fruitful and I will cause to dwell you like former state your and I will do good more than beginnings your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

12 Mana nye dukɔ, nye dukɔ, Israel, nazɔ le dziwò. Woaxɔ wò, eye nànye woƒe domenyinu; miagaxɔ wò viwo le wo si azɔ o.

And I will cause to walk on you human[s] people my Israel and they will dispossess you and you will become of them an inheritance and not you will repeat again to bereave them.

13 “Aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Esi amewo gblɔna na mi be mieɖua amelã, eye mieɖea vi ɖa le miaƒe dukɔ ŋuti ta la,

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because [people are] saying to you [are] devouring human[s] (you *Q(K)*) and bereaving (nations your *Q(K)*) you have been.

14 miagaɖu amelã azɔ o, eye miagatsrɔ̃ ɖeviwo na dukɔa azɔ o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

Therefore human[s] not you will devour again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not (you will bereave *Q(K)*) again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

15 Nyemagana miase dukɔwo ƒe fewuɖuɖu le mia ŋu o, eye dukɔwo magado vlo mi alo ana miaƒe dukɔ la nadze anyi o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.’”

And not I will make heard to you again [the] insult[s] of the nations and [the] reproach of peoples not you will bear again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not you will cause to stumble again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

16 Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya gava nam be,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

17 “Ame vi, esime Israelviwo nɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi la, wodo gui to woƒe nɔnɔme kple wɔnawo me. Woƒe nɔnɔme le abe nyɔnu ƒe dzinukpɔkpɔ ene le nye ŋkume.

O son of humankind [the] house of Israel [were] dwelling on own land their and they made unclean it by conduct their and by practices their like [the] uncleanness of menstruation it was conduct their before me.

18 Eya ta metrɔ nye dziku kɔ ɖe wo dzi, elabena wokɔ ʋu ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wogblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ kple woƒe legbawo.

And I poured out rage my on them on the blood which they had poured out on the land and by idols their they made unclean it.

19 Mekaka wo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye wokaka wo hlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Medrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo ɖe woƒe nɔnɔme kple wɔnawo nu.

And I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed among the lands according to conduct their and according to practices their I judged them.

20 Eye afi sia afi si woyi le dukɔwo dome la, wodoa gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, elabena wogblɔ tso wo ŋu be, ‘Ame siawo nye Yehowa ƒe amewo, ke ele na wo be woadzo le anyigba la dzi.’

And it came to the nations where they went there and they profaned [the] name of holiness my when said of them [are] [the] people of Yahweh these and from land his they have come out.

21 Metsi dzi ɖe nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, ŋkɔ si Israel ƒe aƒe la do gui le dukɔ siwo me woyi la ŋkume.”

And I showed pity on [the] name of holiness my which they had profaned it [the] house of Israel among the nations where they had gone there towards.

22 Eya ta gblɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe la be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “O! Israel ƒe aƒe, menye miawo tae mele nu siawo wɔ ge o, ke nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe si miedo gui le dukɔ siwo me mieyi la tae.

Therefore say to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not for sake your I [am] about to act O house of Israel that except for [the] name of holiness my which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone there.

23 Mafia nye ŋkɔ gã la ƒe kɔkɔenyenye si wodo gui le dukɔwo dome, ŋkɔ si miedo gui le wo dome. Ekema dukɔawo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe, ne mefia ɖokuinye kɔkɔe to mia dzi le woƒe ŋkume.

And I will show holy name my great that has been] profaned among the nations which you have profaned in midst of them and they will know the nations that I [am] Yahweh [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when I show holy myself by you to eyes their.

24 “Elabena maɖe mi le dukɔawo dome, maƒo mia nu ƒu tso anyigbawo katã dzi, eye makplɔ mi ava miawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.

And I will take you from the nations and I will gather you from all the lands and I will bring you into own land your.

25 Mahlẽ tsi kɔkɔe ɖe mia ŋu, eye mia ŋuti akɔ. Makɔ mia ŋuti tso miaƒe makɔmakɔnyenye katã me, eye maɖe miaƒe legbawo katã ɖa le mia dome.

And I will sprinkle on you water pure and you will be pure from all uncleanness your and from all idols your I will purify you.

26 Mana dzi yeye mi, eye made gbɔgbɔ yeye mia me; maɖe miaƒe kpedzi ɖa le mia me, eye mana lãkusidzi mi.

And I will give to you a heart new and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh your and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

27 Made nye Gbɔgbɔ mia me, mana miawɔ nye ɖoɖowo dzi, eye mialé nye seawo me ɖe asi.

And spirit my I will put in inner being your and I will bring about this: in statutes my you will walk and judgments my you will keep and you will do [them].

28 Mianɔ anyigba si metsɔ na mia tɔgbuiwo la dzi; mianye nye amewo, eye manye miaƒe Mawu.

And you will dwell in the land which I gave to ancestors your and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.

29 Maɖe mi tso miaƒe nu makɔmakɔwo katã me. Mana bli nasɔ gbɔ na mi, eye nyemana dɔwuame nava mia dzi o.

And I will save you from all uncleanness your and I will summon the grain and I will increase it and not I will give to you famine.

30 Madzi atikutsetsewo kple miaƒe agblemenukuwo ɖe edzi, ale be miagaɖu ŋukpe le dukɔwo dome le dɔwuame ta o.

And I will increase [the] fruit of the tree and [the] produce of the field so that that not you may receive again [the] reproach of famine among the nations.

31 Ekema miaɖo ŋku miaƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo kple miaƒe ŋutasẽnuwɔwɔwo dzi, eye miaƒe nu anyɔ ŋu na miawo ŋutɔ le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nuwɔna vlowo ta.

And you will remember ways your evil and deeds your which not [were] good and you will loathe faces your on iniquities your and on abominations your.

32 Medi be mianya be nyemele nu siawo wɔm le mia ta o; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Mina ŋu nakpe mi, eye miaɖi gbɔ̃ mia ɖokui le miaƒe wɔnawo ta, O! Israel ƒe aƒe.”

Not for sake your I [am] about to act [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh let it be known to you be ashamed and be humiliated from ways your O house of Israel.

33 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le gbe si gbe maklɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa le mia ŋuti la, mana amewo naganɔ miaƒe duwo me, eye woagbugbɔ gli gbagbãwo aɖo.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day cleanse I you from all iniquities your and I will cause to be inhabited the cities and they will be rebuilt the waste places.

34 Woade agble ɖe gbegbewo, eye womaganye gbegbe le emetsolawo ŋkume o.

And the land desolated it will be tilled in place of that it was a desolation to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.

35 Woagblɔ be anyigba si nye gbegbe tsã la, va ɖi Edenbɔ azɔ. Du siwo gbã, eye wozu aƒedo tsã la, woglã wo, eye amewo le wo me.

And people will say the land this desolated it has become like [the] garden of Eden and the cities wasted and desolated and broken down [are] fortified they have remained.

36 Ekema dukɔ siwo susɔ ƒo xlã mi la anya be, nye Yehowae gbugbɔ du siwo wogbã la tu, eye medo nukuwo ɖe gbegbewo. Nye Yehowae gblɔe, eye mawɔe hã.”

And they will know the nations which they will be left around you that - I Yahweh I have rebuilt the broken down [cities] I have planted the desolated [places] I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.

37 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Magaɖo to Israel ƒe aƒe ƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye mawɔ nu sia na wo. Mana eƒe amewo nasɔ gbɔ abe alẽwo ene,

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this I will let myself be sought by [the] house of Israel to act for them I will increase them like flock human[s].

38 abe alẽ siwo woatsɔ asa vɔwoe le Yerusalem le ŋkekenyuiɖuɣiwo ene. Nenemae amewo ayɔ du siwo gbã la me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’”

Like sheep of holiness like [the] sheep of Jerusalem at appointed times its so they will be the cities wasted full of flock[s] of human[s] and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
