Hezekiel 7

1 Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Ame vi, aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Israel ƒe anyigba: “‘Nuwuwu la! Nuwuwu la ɖo eɖo xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi!

Also, you son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel; An end, the end is come on the four corners of the land.

3 Nuwuwu la va mia dzi azɔ, eye mana nye dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi katã ɖe miaƒe ŋunyɔnuwɔnawo ta.

Now is the end come on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense on you all your abominations.

4 Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi loo alo ana miakpɔ ɖeɖe o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme kple ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta kokoko. “‘Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the middle of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 “Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, “‘Dzɔgbevɔ̃e! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si tɔgbi ƒe nya womese kpɔ o la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo.

Thus says the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

6 Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Nuwuwu la va ɖo. Efɔ eɖokui ɖe ŋutiwò. Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo!

An end is come, the end is come: it watches for you; behold, it is come.

7 Tsɔtsrɔ̃ va mia dzi mi anyigbadzinɔlawo dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de, ŋkeke la tu aƒe. Nuxaxa le toawo dzi, dzidzɔ aɖeke meli o.

The morning is come to you, O you that dwell in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

8 Esusɔ vie matrɔ nye dziku akɔ ɖe mia dzi, eye magblẽ nye dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu, eye mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanuwo katã ta.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury on you, and accomplish my anger on you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.

9 Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi alo aɖe mi o. Mahe to na mi ɖe miaƒe nɔnɔme ŋu kple ɖe miaƒe ŋukpenanu siwo le edzi yim le mia dome la ta. “‘Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowae tu nu kpli mi.

And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the middle of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.

10 “‘Kpɔ ɖa, ŋkeke la! Kpɔ ɖa, eva ɖo! Dzɔgbevɔ̃e do, ameƒoti do lotoo, eye dada ƒo se.

Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

11 Ŋutasesẽ tsi zu ameƒoti hena tohehe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Womagblẽ ame aɖeke ɖi o; womagblẽ ameha ma me nɔla aɖeke, kesinɔnu aɖeke alo nu xɔasi aɖeke ɖi o.

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.

12 Ɣeyiɣi de, ŋkeke la va ɖo. Nudzrala megatso aseye, eye nuƒlela megafa konyi o, elabena dɔmedzoe dze ɖe ameha la katã dzi.

The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is on all the multitude thereof.

13 Anyigbadzrala magbugbɔ eƒe anyigba si wòdzra la axɔ zi ale si wo ame eve la le agbe o, elabena womatrɔ ŋutega si wokpɔ tso ameha blibo la ŋu o. Le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã matsi agbe o.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

14 “‘Togbɔ be woaku kpẽ, eye woawɔ nu sia nu wòasɔ gbe gɔ̃ hã la, ame aɖeke mayi aʋa o, elabena nye dɔmedzoe bi ɖe ameha la kã.

They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for my wrath is on all the multitude thereof.

15 Yi le gota, eye dɔvɔ̃ kple dɔwuame le aƒe me. Yi awu ame siwo le gbedzi, eye ame siwo le du me la, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ atsrɔ̃ wo.

The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

16 Ame siwo katã atsi agbe, eye woasi la, woayi toawo dzi, anɔ konyi fam abe ahɔnɛ siwo le baliwo me ene, ɖe sia ɖe ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

17 Alɔ ɖe sia ɖe ado agblɔ, eye klo ɖe sia ɖe agbɔdzɔ abe tsi ene.

All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

18 Woatsyɔ konyifavɔ, eye woado ŋɔdzi abe awu ene, ŋukpe anɔ mo na wo, eye woalũ ta na wo.

They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

19 “‘Woatsɔ woƒe klosalo aƒu gbe ɖe ablɔwo dzi, eye woƒe sika azu nu makɔmakɔ. Woƒe klosalo kple sika mate ŋu aɖe wo le Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoedogbe la o. Womatsɔe atsi woƒe dɔwuame nu o, eye womatsɔe aɖi ƒoe na wo o, elabena ena wodze nu vɔ̃ me.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

20 Wodana ɖe woƒe lekewɔnu dzeaniwo dzi, eye wotsɔ wo wɔ woƒe legba nyɔŋuwo kple aklamakpakpɛ vlowo. Eya ta matrɔ nu siawo woazu nu makɔmakɔwo na wo.

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

21 Mana wo katã nazu afunyinu na amedzrowo kple nuhaha na ŋutaselã siwo le anyigba dzi, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo.

And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

22 Matrɔ mo ɖe adzɔge tso wo gbɔ, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye teƒe vevi la. Adzodalawo age ɖe eme, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ.

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

23 “‘Miwɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔwo da ɖi, elabena ʋukɔkɔɖi bɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye ŋutasesẽ yɔ dua me.

Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

24 Makplɔ dukɔ vɔ̃ɖitɔwo vɛ be woava xɔ woƒe aƒewo, matsi ŋusẽtɔwo ƒe dada nu, eye woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na woƒe Kɔkɔeƒewo.

Why I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.

25 Ne ŋɔdzi do la, woadi ŋutifafa, gake manɔ anyi o.

Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

26 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e akplɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖo, eye ŋɔdzinya adze ŋɔdzinya yome. Ana woadze agbagba be yewoaxɔ ɖeɖefia tso nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ, nunɔlawo ƒe sewo fiafia kple ametsitsiwo ƒe nufiame maganɔ anyi o.

Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

27 Fia la afa konyi, dzi aɖe le fiavi la ƒo, eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo ƒe asiwo adzo nyanyanya. Matu nu kpli wo le woƒe nɔnɔme nu, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe gɔmesese nu. “‘Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”

The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
