Hesekiel 3
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di nea wuhu wɔ wʼanim no, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee yi, na afei kɔ na kɔkasa kyerɛ Israelfo.”
And he seide to me, Sone of man, ete thou what euer thing thou fyndist, ete thou this volym; and go thou, and speke to the sones of Israel.
2 Enti mibuee mʼanom na ɔde nhoma mmobɔwee no maa me dii.
And Y openyde my mouth, and he fedde me with that volym.
3 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, di saa nhoma mmobɔwee a mede rema wo yi fa hyɛ wo yafunu ma.” Enti midii na na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwo wɔ mʼanom.
And he seide to me, Sone of man, thi wombe schal ete, and thin entrails schulen be fillid with this volym, which Y yyue to thee. And Y eet it, and it was maad as swete hony in my mouth.
4 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, afei kɔ Israelfo nkyɛn na kɔka me nsɛm kyerɛ wɔn.
And he seide to me, Sone of man, go thou to the hous of Israel, and thou schalt speke my wordis to hem.
5 Ɛnyɛ nnipa bi a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ anaa ntease nni mu nkyɛn na meresoma wo, mmom meresoma wo Israelfo hɔ.
For thou schalt not be sent to a puple of hiy word, and of vnknowun langage; thou schalt be sent to the hous of Israel,
6 Ɛnyɛ nnipa bebree a wɔn kasa mu nna hɔ na ɛyɛ den, wɔn a wonte wɔn kasa ase nkyɛn. Ampa, sɛ mesomaa wo wɔ saa nnipa yi nkyɛn a, anka wotiee wo.
nether to many puplis of hiy word, and of vnknowun langage, of whiche thou maist not here the wordis. And if thou were sent to hem, thei schulden here thee.
7 Nanso Israelfo mpɛ sɛ wotie wo, efisɛ wɔmpɛ sɛ wotie me. Israel nyinaa ayɛ komapirim ne asoɔden.
But the hous of Israel nylen here thee, for thei nylen here me. For al the hous of Israel is of vnschamefast forheed, and of hard herte.
8 Ɛno nti mɛma woayɛ asoɔden ne komapirim te sɛ wɔn.
Lo! Y yaf thi face strongere than the faces of hem, and thi forheed hardere than the forheedis of hem.
9 Mɛyɛ wo moma dennen sɛ apemmo, nea ɛyɛ den sen ɔtwɛrebo. Nsuro wɔn na mma wɔmmɔ wo hu, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo de.”
Y yaf thi face as an adamaunt, and as a flynt; drede thou not hem, nether drede thou of the face of hem, for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
10 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, tie me nsɛm a meka kyerɛ wo no yiye na dwene ho wɔ wo koma mu.
And he seide to me, Sone of man, take in thin herte, and here with thin eeris alle these my wordis, whiche Y speke to thee.
11 Afei kɔ wo nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ nnommum mu na kasa kyerɛ wɔn. Se wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se,’ sɛ wobetie oo, sɛ wɔrentie oo.”
And go thou, and entre to the passyng ouer, to the sones of thi puple. And thou schalt speke to hem, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, if perauenture thei heren, and resten.
12 Na Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro na metee sɛ nnyigyei dennen bi reworo so wɔ mʼakyi bere a na Awurade anuonyam rema ne ho so wɔ ne gyinabea hɔ no
And the spirit took me, and Y herde after me the vois of a greet mouyng. The blessid glorie of the Lord was herd fro his place;
13 Na ɛyɛ nnyigyei a efi ateasefo no ntaban a ɛkeka twiw ho ne nkyimii a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no. Nnyigyei dennen a ɛworo so.
and Y herde the vois of wyngis of the beestis smytynge oon an othir, and the vois of wheelis suynge the beestis, and the vois of greet stiryng.
14 Honhom no maa me so kɔɔ soro de me kɔɔ baabi, mekɔɔ no nweenwen ne honhom mu abufuw so, a na Awurade tumi yɛ kɛse wɔ me so.
Also the spirit reiside me, and took me. And Y yede forth bittir in the indignacioun of my spirit; for the hond of the Lord was with me, and coumfortide me.
15 Mebaa nnommum a wɔtete Tel Abib a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Kebar no nkyɛn. Na hɔ na me ne wɔn tenaa nnanson, na me ho dwiriw me.
And Y cam to the passyng ouer, to the heep of newe fruytis, to hem that dwelliden bisidis the flood Chobar. And Y sat where thei saten, and Y dwellide there seuene daies, weilynge, in the myddis of hem.
16 Nnanson akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Forsothe whanne seuene daies weren passid, the word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Sone of man,
17 “Onipa ba, mayɛ wo ɔwɛmfo ama Israel; ɛno nti tie asɛm a meka no, na bɔ wɔn kɔkɔ a efi me.
Y yaf thee `a spiere to the hous of Israel. And thou schalt here of my mouth a word, and thou schalt telle to hem of me.
18 Sɛ meka kyerɛ omumɔyɛfo se, ‘Ampa ara wubewu’ na sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ anaasɛ woankasa ankyerɛ no amma wantwe ne ho amfi nʼakwammɔne ho annya nkwa a, saa omumɔyɛfo no bewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
If whanne Y seie to the wickid man, Thou schalt die bi deth, thou tellist not to hym, and spekist not to hym, that he be turned fro his wickid weie, and lyue; thilke wickid man schal die in his wickidnesse, but Y schal seke his blood of thin hond.
19 Nanso sɛ wobɔ omumɔyɛfo no kɔkɔ na sɛ wansakra amfi nʼamumɔyɛ anaa nʼakwammɔne ho a, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu, nanso na woagye wo ho nkwa.
Forsothe if thou tellist to the wickid man, and he is not conuertid fro his wickidnesse, and fro his wickid weie; sotheli he schal die in his wickidnesse, but thou hast delyuerid thi soule.
20 “Bio, sɛ ɔtreneeni dan fi trenee ho kɔyɛ bɔne a, mede hintidua bɛto nʼanim ama no ahwe ase, na wawu. Sɛ woammɔ no kɔkɔ nti, obewu wɔ ne bɔne mu. Adetrenee ahorow a ɔyɛe no, wɔrenkae na mɛma woabu ne mogya ho akontaa.
But also if a iust man is turned fro his riytfulnesse, and doith wickidnesse, Y schal sette an hirtyng bifor hym; he schal die, for thou teldist not to hym; he schal die in his synne, and hise riytfulnessis, whiche he dide, schulen not be in mynde, but Y schal seke his blood of thin hond.
21 Nanso sɛ wobɔ ɔtreneeni no kɔkɔ sɛ onnyae bɔneyɛ na ogyae a, obenya nkwa efisɛ otiee kɔkɔbɔ, na wo nso wubegye wo ho nkwa.”
Forsothe if thou tellist to a iust man, that a iust man do not synne, and he doith not synne, he lyuynge schal lyue, for thou teldist to hym, and thou hast delyuered thi soule.
22 Na Awurade tumi baa me so wɔ hɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na kɔ tataw no so, na hɔ na mɛkasa akyerɛ wo.”
And the hond of the Lord was maad on me, and he seide to me, Rise thou, and go out in to the feeld, and there Y schal speke with thee.
23 Enti mesɔre kɔɔ tataw no so. Na Awurade anuonyam te sɛ nea mihuu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no gyina hɔ, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.
And Y roos, and yede out in to the feeld. And lo! the glorie of the Lord stood there, as the glorie which Y siy bisidis the flood Chobar; and Y felle doun on my face.
24 Afei Honhom no bɛhyɛɛ me mu na ɔmaa me so gyinaa hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Kɔ na kɔto wo ho pon mu wɔ wo fi.
And the spirit entride in to me, and settide me on my feet. And he spak to me, and seide to me, Entre thou, and be thou closid in the myddis of thin hous.
25 Na wo, onipa ba, wɔde ntampehama bɛkyekyere wo sɛnea worentumi mpue nkɔ nnipa no mu.
And thou, sone of man, lo! boondis ben youun on thee, and thei schulen bynde thee with tho, and thou schalt not go out in the myddis of hem.
26 Na mɛma wo tɛkrɛma atare wʼanom sɛnea wobɛyɛ komm a worentumi nka wɔn anim, efisɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
And Y schal make thi tunge to cleue to the roof of thi mouth, and thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not be as a man rebuykinge; for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
27 Nanso sɛ mekasa kyerɛ wo a, mebue wʼano ama woaka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni!’ Nea obetie no ma no ntie, na nea ɔmpɛ sɛ otie no mma no ntie; na wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
But whanne Y schal speke to thee, Y schal opene thi mouth, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, He that herith, here, and he that restith, reste; for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
