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.

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of 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 I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

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

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy 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.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.

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

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.

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 among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know 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.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know 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.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.

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 they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

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.

So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

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 shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamon-gog.

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

And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

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.

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them; ] and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

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 shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they 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 the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it 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 also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

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, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

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.

Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings 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.

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed 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.

Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.

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 set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

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

So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD their God from that day and forward.

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 the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

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

According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face 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.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for 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.

After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid.

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

When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many 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.

Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

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

Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
