Hezekiel 39

1 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Gog ŋu, eye nàgblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Metso ɖe ŋuwò, O! Gog, wò ame si nye Mesek kple Tubal ƒe amegã.

And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

2 Matrɔ wò to eme ahe wò. Makplɔ wò tso keke anyiehe ke, eye mana nàtso ɖe Israel ƒe towo ŋu.

And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:

3 Ekema maƒo wò da le wò miasi me, eye mana wò datiwo nage tso wò nuɖusime.

And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

4 Àdze anyi ɖe Israel ƒe towo dzi, wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã kple dukɔ siwo le dziwò. Mana nàzu nuɖuɖu na xevi ʋulãɖulawo kple lã wɔadãwo katã.

On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

5 Àdze anyi ɖe gbedzi, elabena meƒo nu; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.

6 Mana dzo nadze Magog kple ame siwo le dedinɔnɔ me le ƒutanyigbawo dzi la dzi, eye woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.

And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

7 “‘Mana woanya nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la le nye amewo, Israelviwo dome. Nyemagana woagado gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la o, eye dukɔwo anya be, nye, Yehowae nye Kɔkɔetɔ la le Israel.

And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8 Egbɔna! Ava eme godoo, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Egbee nye ŋkeke si ŋu meƒo nu tsoe.

See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.

9 “‘Ekema ame siwo le Israel ƒe duwo me la, ado go, eye woawɔ woƒe aʋawɔnuwo ŋu dɔ abe dzodonuwo ene, woatɔ dzo wo, akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple gãtɔwo siaa, woƒe dawo kple datiwo siaa, woƒe kpowo kple akplɔwo siaa. Woawɔ wo ŋu dɔ hena dzododo ƒe adre sɔŋ.

And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:

10 Mahiã wo be woafɔ nake le gbedzi loo alo alãe le avewo me o, elabena woawɔ aʋawɔnuwo ŋu dɔ abe dzodonuwo ene. Emegbe la, woada adzo ame siwo da adzo wo, eye woaha ame siwo ha wo. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.

11 “‘Gbe ma gbe la, mana ameɖiƒe Gog le Israel le ame siwo zɔa mɔ yia ɣetoɖoƒe, ɖoa ta Atsiaƒu la gbɔ la ƒe balime. Axe mɔ na mɔzɔlawo, elabena woaɖi Gog kple eƒe ameha la katã ɖe afi ma. Ale woayɔe be Hamɔn Gog ƒe balime.

And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.

12 “‘Israel ƒe aƒe la anɔ wo ɖim ale be wòakɔ anyigba la ŋuti ɣleti adre.

And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.

13 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã aɖi wo, eye gbe si gbe woade bubu ŋutinye la, anye ŋkeke si dzi woaɖo ŋkui la na wo.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.

14 Woatsɔ amewo ɖaa be woakɔ anyigba la ŋuti. Ame aɖewo azɔ ato anyigba la dzi, hekpe ɖe woawo ŋu la, ame bubuwo aɖi ame kuku siwo aganɔ anyigba kokoko. “‘Le ɣleti adrea ƒe nuwuwu la, woagadze woƒe nudidi gɔme.

And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.

15 Ne wole anyigba la dzi tsam, eye wo dometɔ ɖeka kpɔ ameƒu aɖe la, ade dzesi teƒe la va se ɖe esime yɔdokulawo aɖii ɖe Hamɔn Gog ƒe Balime.

And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.

16 Kpe ɖe nu sia ŋu la, du si woyɔna be Hamona hã anɔ afi ma. Ale woakɔ anyigba la ŋuti.’

And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.

17 “Ame vi, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Yɔ xevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple lã wɔadãwo katã. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Miƒo ƒu, eye mi katã miva tso goawo katã me hena vɔsa si mele dzadzram ɖo na mi, vɔsa gã la le Israel ƒe towo dzi. Afi ma miaɖu lã, eye miano ʋu.

And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.

18 Miaɖu amegãwo ƒe lã, eye miano anyigbadzifiawo ƒe ʋu abe agbowo kple alẽviwo, gbɔ̃wo kple nyitsuwo wonye ene; lã siawo katã nye lã damiwo tso Basan.

The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

19 Le nye vɔsa si mele dzadzram ɖo na mi ƒe ŋkekea dzi la, miaɖu lãmi aɖi ƒo, eye miano ʋu va se ɖe esime miamu.

You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.

20 Le nye kplɔ̃ la ŋu la, miaɖu sɔwo kple sɔdolawo, kalẽtɔwo kple aʋawɔla ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe lã wòati mi’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.

21 “Maɖe nye ŋutikɔkɔe afia le dukɔwo dome, eye dukɔwo katã akpɔ to si mehe na wo kple asi si meda ɖe wo dzi.

And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.

22 Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Israel ƒe aƒe la anya be nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu.

So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.

23 Dukɔawo hã anya be Israelviwo yi aboyome le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, elabena womewɔ nuteƒe nam o. Eya ta meɣla nye ŋkume ɖe wo, metsɔ wo de asi na woƒe futɔwo, eye wo katã wotsi yi nu.

And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

24 Mewɔ nu ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe makɔmakɔnyenye kple woƒe dzidadawo nu, eye meɣla nye mo ɖe wo.

In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.

25 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Azɔ la, makplɔ Yakob agbɔe tso aboyome, makpɔ nublanui na Israelviwo katã, eye maʋã ŋu ɖe nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ta.

For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.

26 Woaŋlɔ woƒe ŋukpe kple aglã siwo katã wodze ɖe ŋunye la be, esime wonɔ dedie le woƒe anyigba si dzi ame aɖeke medo ŋɔdzi na wo le o.

And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

27 Ne mekplɔ wo gbɔe tso woƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi la, maɖe ɖokuinye afia kɔkɔe le dukɔ geɖewo ŋkume.

When I have taken them back from among the peoples and got them together out of the lands of their haters, and have made myself holy in them before the eyes of a great number of nations.

28 Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu, elabena togbɔ be meɖo wo ɖe aboyome ɖe dukɔwo dome hã la, maƒo wo nu ƒu, woava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi, eye nyemagblẽ ɖeke ɖi o.

And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.

29 Nyemagaɣla nye mo ɖe wo o, elabena makɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la dzi.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”

And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.
