< Hesekiel 22 >
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
2 “Onipa ba, wubebu no atɛn ana? Wubebu saa mogyahwiegu kuropɔn yi atɛn ana? Ɛno de fa ne nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade no nyinaa si nʼanim
and he seide, And thou, sone of man, whether thou demest not the citee of bloodis?
3 na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Wo kuropɔn a ɔnam mogyahwiegu so de nnome aba ne ho so na ɔde ahoni a ɔyɛ agu ne ho fi,
And thou schalt schewe to it alle hise abhomynaciouns, and thou schalt seie, The Lord God seith these thingis, This is a citee schedinge out blood in the myddis of it silf, that the tyme therof come; and which made idols ayens it silf, that it shulde be defoulid.
4 woadi fɔ wɔ mogya a woahwie agu na woagu wo ho fi wɔ ahoni a woayɛ nti. Woama wo nna abɛn, na wo mfe awiei no aba. Enti mɛyɛ wo ahohorade wɔ amanaman no mu, ne akyiwade wɔ amantam no nyinaa mu.
In thi blood which is shed out of thee, thou trespassidist, and thou art defoulid in thin idols whiche thou madist; and thou madist thi daies to neiye, and thou brouytist the time of thi yeeris. Therfor Y yaf thee schenschipe to hethene men, and scornyng to alle londis that ben niy thee,
5 Wɔn a wɔbɛn ne wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri bedi wo ho fɛw, wo Kuropɔn a wunni anuonyam, na basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma.
and that ben fer fro thee; thou foul citee, noble, greet in perisching, thei schulen haue victorie of thee.
6 “‘Hwɛ sɛnea Israel mmapɔmma a wɔwɔ wo mu no mu biara de ne tumi hwie mogya gu.
Lo! princes of Israel, alle in her arm, weren in thee, to schede out blood.
7 Wɔabu agya ne ɛna animtiaa wɔ wo mu, wɔahyɛ ɔnanani so, na wɔatan ayisaa ne akunafo ani.
Thei punyschiden with wrongis fadir and modir in thee, thei calengiden falsli a comelyng in the myddis of thee, thei maden sori a fadirles child and a widewe at thee.
8 Woabu mʼakronkronne animtiaa na woagu me homenna ho fi.
Ye dispisiden my seyntuaries, and ye defouliden my sabatis.
9 Wo mu na mmarima ntwatosofo a wɔpɛ sɛ wohwie mogya gu wɔ, wɔn a wodidi wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea abosonnan mu, na wɔyɛ ahohorade.
Men bacbiteris weren in thee, to schede out blood, and eten on hillis in thee; thei wrouyten greet trespas in the myddis of thee.
10 Wo mu na wɔn a wogu wɔn agyanom mpa ho fi wɔ; wɔn a wɔne mmea a wɔabu wɔn nsa, na wɔn ho ntew da no wɔ wo mu.
Thei vnhiliden the schamefulere thingis of the fadir in thee, thei maden low in thee the vnclenesse of a womman in vnclene blood.
11 Wo mu na ɔbarima ne ne yɔnko yere yɛ bɔne a ɛyɛ akyiwade, ɔfoforo ne nʼasebea da wɔ animguase mu, na ɔfoforo ne ne nuabea da, ɔno ankasa nʼagya babea.
And ech man wrouyte abhomynacioun ayens the wijf of his neiybore, and the fadir of the hosebonde defoulide his sones wijf vnleuefuli; a brother oppresside in thee his sister, the douytir of his fadir.
12 Wo mu na nnipa gye adanmude ka mogya gu; wogye nsiho ne mfaso a ɛboro so fi wɔn mfɛfo nkyɛn de nya wɔn ho bebree. Na mo werɛ afi me, Otumfo Awurade na ose.
Thei token yiftis at thee, to schede out blood; thou tokist vsure and ouerabundaunce, and thou calengidist greedili thi neiyboris, and thou hast foryete me, seith the Lord God.
13 “‘Ampa ara mɛbɔ me nsam agu wʼasisi ahonya ne mogya a woahwie agu no so.
Lo! Y haue smyte togidere myn hondis on thin aueryce, which thou didist, and on the blood which is sched out in the myddis of thee.
14 Wʼakokoduru betumi agyina anaasɛ wo nsa bɛyɛ den da a mene wo benya no ana? Me Awurade na akasa, na mɛyɛ.
Whether thin herte schal susteyne, ether thin hondis schulen haue power in the daies whiche Y schal make to thee? For Y the Lord spak, and Y schal do.
15 Mɛhwete wo mu agu amanaman no so, na mabɔ wo apansam amantam no mu; na mede wo afideyɛ aba nʼawie.
And Y schal scatere thee in to naciouns, and Y schal wyndewe thee in to londis; and Y schal make thin vnclennesse to faile fro thee,
16 Sɛ wogu wo ho fi wɔ amanaman no mu a, wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
and Y schal welde thee in the siyt of hethene men; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord.
17 Afei, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide,
18 “Onipa ba, Israelfi abɛyɛ dwetɛ ase fi ama me; wɔn nyinaa yɛ kɔbere, sanyaa, dade ne sumpii a wɔagyaw wɔ fononoo mu. Wɔyɛ dwetɛfi nko ara.
Thou, sone of man, the hous of Israel is turned to me in to dros, ether filthe of irun; alle these ben bras, and tyn, and irun, and leed, in the myddis of furneis, thei ben maad the dros of siluer.
19 Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: ‘Esiane sɛ mo nyinaa abɛyɛ dwetɛfi nti, mɛboaboa mo ano wɔ Yerusalem.
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For that alle ye ben turned in to dros, lo! Y schal gadere you togidere in the myddis of Jerusalem,
20 Sɛnea nnipa boaboa dwetɛ, kɔbere, sumpii ne sanyaa ano hyɛ fononoo mu de ogyatannaa a ano yɛ den nan no, saa ara na mefi mʼabufuw ne mʼabufuwhyew mu aboaboa mo ano wɔ kuropɔn no mu na manan mo.
bi gadering togidere of siluer, and of latoun, and of irun, and of tyn, and of leed, in the myddis of furneis; and Y schal kindle ther ynne a fier, to welle togidere; so Y schal gadere you togidere in my strong veniaunce, and in my wraththe, and Y schal reste. And Y schal welle you togidere,
21 Mɛboaboa mo ano na mahuw mʼabufuwhyew gya agu mo so, na moanan wɔ ne mu.
and Y schal gadere you togidere, and Y schal sette you a fier in the fier of my strong veniaunce, and ye schulen be wellid togidere in the myddis therof.
22 Sɛnea wɔnan dwetɛ wɔ fononoo mu no, saa ara na mobɛnan wɔ ne mu na moahu sɛ me Awurade na mahwie mʼabufuwhyew agu mo so.’”
As siluer is wellid togidere in the myddis of a furneis, so ye schulen be in the myddis therof; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y haue sched out myn indignacioun on you.
23 Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn bio se:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
24 “Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ asase no se, ‘Woyɛ asase a wonnwiraa anaa osu ntɔɔ wo so wɔ abufuwhyew da no.’
and he seide, Sone of man, seie thou to it, Thou art a lond vncleene, and not bireyned in the dai of strong veniaunce.
25 Ne mmapɔmma abɔ pɔw bɔne wɔ ne mu te sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔ mu na ɔtetew ne hanam mu, wɔwe nnipa nam, wɔfa ademude ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo na wɔma akunafo dɔɔso wɔ ne mu.
Sweringe togidere, ether conspiringe of profetis is in the myddis therof; as a lioun roringe and takinge prei, thei deuouriden men, thei token richessis and prijs; thei multiplieden widewis therof in the myddis therof.
26 Nʼasɔfo bu me mmara so na wogu mʼakronkronne ho fi; wɔnnkyerɛ nsonoe a ɛda nea ɛyɛ kronkron ne nea ɛnyɛ kronkron ntam; wɔkyerɛkyerɛ sɛ nsonoe biara nna nea ɛho ntew ne nea ɛho tew ntam, na wobu wɔn ani gu me homennadi so, de gu me ho fi wɔ wɔn mu.
Preestis therof dispisiden my lawe, and defouliden my seyntuaries; thei hadden not difference bitwixe hooli thing and vnhooli, thei vndurstoden not bitwixe defoulid thing and cleene thing; and thei turneden awei her iyen fro my sabatis, and Y was defoulid in the myddis of hem.
27 Nʼadwumayɛfo te sɛ mpataku a wɔretetew wɔn hanam mu; wohwie mogya gu na wokum nnipa de pɛ mfaso bɔne.
The princes therof in the myddis therof weren as wolues rauyschinge prey, to schede out blood, and to leese men, and in suynge lucris gredili.
28 Nʼadiyifo nam atoro anisoadehu ne nkontompo nkɔmhyɛ so ma saa nnebɔne yi yɛ fitaa. Wɔka se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se,’ wɔ bere a Awurade nkasaa ɛ.
Forsothe the profetis therof pargetiden hem with out temperure, and seyen veyn thingis, and dyuyneden leesingis to hem, and seiden, The Lord God seith these thingis, whanne the Lord spak not.
29 Asase no so nnipa di amim na wɔbɔ korɔn; wɔhyɛ ahiafo ne mmɔborɔfo so, wonnye ahɔho ani na wɔde atɛntrenee kame wɔn.
The puples of the lond calengiden fals caleng, and rauyschiden bi violence; thei turmentiden a nedi man and pore, and oppressiden a comeling bi fals caleng, with out doom.
30 “Mehwehwɛɛ obi wɔ wɔn mu a ɔbɛto ɔfasu no na wagyina mʼanim wɔ asase no anan mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a merensɛe asase no, nanso manhu obiara.
And Y souyte of hem a man, that schulde sette an hegge bitwixe, and stonde set ayens me for the lond, that Y schulde not distrie it, and Y foond not.
31 Ɛno nti, mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu wɔn so, na mede mʼabufuw a ɛyɛ hu no atɔre wɔn ase, na mama nea wɔayɛ nyinaa abɔ wɔn ti so, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
And Y schedde out on hem myn indignacioun, and Y wastide hem in the fier of my wraththe; Y yeldide the weie of hem on the heed of hem, seith the Lord God.
