Hesekiel 32

1 Mfe dumien mu, ɔsram a ɛto so dumien no da a edi kan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first [day] of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 “Onipa ba, to kwadwom fa Misraimhene Farao ho na ka kyerɛ no se: “‘Wote sɛ gyata wɔ aman no mu: wote sɛ po mu aboa a ne ho yɛ hu wububu dikyi wɔ wo nsuten mu, wode wo nan boro nsuten no de fono nsu no.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a dragon in the seas; and thou brakest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

3 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mede dɔm bɛba abɛtow mʼasau agu wo so, na wɔbɛtwe wo afi mʼasau mu.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will spread out my net over thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

4 Mɛtow wo akyene asase no so na mahiri wo ato sare so. Mɛma wim nnomaa nyinaa abesisi wo so na asase so mmoa nyinaa adi wo nam afrɛ so.

And I will leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to settle upon thee, and I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

5 Mɛhata wo nam wɔ mmepɔw no so na mede wo funu ahyɛ aku ma.

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.

6 Mede wo mogya a ɛresen no afɔw asase no de akɔka mmepɔw no na wo nam bɛhyɛ abon nketewa no ma.

I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of thee.

7 Sɛ mitwa wo fi hɔ a, mɛkata ɔsoro ani na madunnum wɔn nsoromma; mede omununkum bɛkata owia ani, na ɔsram renhyerɛn.

And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

8 Ɔsoro akanea a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa mɛma aduru sum wɔ wo so; mɛma sum aduru wʼasase, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

9 Mɛma nnipa bebree koma atutu bere a mede wo sɛe aba aman no mu, nsase a wunnya nhuu mu.

I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

10 Mɛma nnipa bebree ho adwiriw wɔn wɔ wo ho, wo nti, hu bɛma wɔn ahene ho apopo bere a merehim mʼafoa wɔ wɔn anim no. Da a wobɛhwe ase no wɔn mu biara ho bɛwosow bere nyinaa mu wɔ wɔn nkwa nti.

Yea, I will make many peoples amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

11 “‘Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Babiloniahene afoa bɛsɔre wɔ wo so.

For thus saith the Lord GOD: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.

12 Mɛma wo dɔm no atotɔ wɔ dɔmmarima afoa ano, wɔ aman a wɔyɛ anuɔdenfo mu. Wɔbɛsɛe Misraim ahomaso pasaa na ne dɔm no nyinaa bedi nkogu.

By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

13 Mekunkum nʼanantwi nyinaa afi nsu bebree no ho na onipa nan rentiatia mu bio na anantwi tɔte nso remfono no.

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

14 Afei mɛma ne nsu ani atew na mama ne nsuten ateɛ sɛ ngo,

Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.

15 Sɛ mema Misraim da mpan na miyi biribiara fi asase no so, sɛ mikum wɔn a wɔte so nyinaa a, afei na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.

16 “Eyi ne kwadwom a wɔbɛto ama no. Amanaman no mmabea bɛto ama Misraim ne ne dɔm nyinaa, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”

This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith: for Egypt, and for all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord GOD.

17 Afe a ɛto so dumien no ne sram da a ɛto so dunum no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:

It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

18 “Onipa ba, twa adwo ma Misraim dɔm na ma ɔne amanaman akɛse no mmabea nsian nkɔ asase ase nkɔka wɔn a wɔasian kɔ amoa mu no ho.

Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

19 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Wadom mo dodo sen wɔn a aka no ana? Munsian nkɔ na mo ne momonotofo no nkɔda.’

Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.

20 Wɔbɛka wɔn a wowuwuu wɔ afoa ano no ho. Wɔatwe afoa no, ma wɔntwe ne nnipadɔm no ase nkɔ.

They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her away and all her multitudes.

21 Akannifo akɛse a wɔwɔ ɔda mu bɛka afa Misraim ne ne dɔm ho se, ‘Wɔasian aba na wɔdeda momonotofo mu, wɔn a wowuwuu wɔ afoa ano no.’ (Sheol h7585)

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 “Asiria ne nʼasraafo nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔn a wɔakunkum wɔn no nna atwa ne ho ahyia, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano no.

Asshur is there and all her company; his graves are round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

23 Wɔn nna no wɔ amoa no ase tɔnn na nʼasraafo deda ne nna ho nyinaa. Wɔn a na wohunahuna afoforo wɔ ateasefo asase so no nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano.

whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.

24 “Elam wɔ hɔ, ne nnipadɔm nyinaa atwa ne da ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Wɔn a na wohunahuna afoforo wɔ ateasefo asase so nyinaa sian kɔɔ asase ase sɛ momonotofo. Wɔde wɔn animguase kɔka wɔn a wosian kɔ amoa mu no ho.

There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

25 Wɔato mpa ama no wɔ atɔfo no mu, na ne dɔm atwa ne da ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofo a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano. Esiane sɛ wɔn ahunahuna trɛw wɔ ateasefo asase so no nti, wɔne wɔn a wosian kɔ amoa mu no nyinaa anim agu ase. Wɔadeda wɔn wɔ atɔfo no mu.

They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are round about her: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.

26 “Mesek ne Tubal wɔ hɔ a wɔn dɔm atwa wɔn nna ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofo a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano efisɛ wɔtrɛtrɛw wɔn ahunahuna mu wɔ ateasefo asase so.

There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude; her graves are round about her: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.

27 Ɛnyɛ wɔn ne akofo momonotofo foforo a wɔatotɔ na wɔdeda hɔ no ana? Wɔn a wɔne wɔn akode sian kɔɔ nna mu na wɔn ti deda wɔn afoa so no. Wɔn amumɔyɛ so asotwe daa wɔn nnompe so, mmom saa akofo yi ahunahuna atrɛtrɛw wɔ ateasefo asase so. (Sheol h7585)

And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are upon their bones; for [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 “Farao, wo nso wobebubu wo mu na woakɔda momonotofo mu, wo ne wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ afoa ano no.

But thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain by the sword.

29 “Edom wɔ hɔ, nʼahemfo ne ne mmapɔmma nyinaa deda wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano no mu, wɔn tumi nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda momonotofo mu, wɔne wɔn a wosian kɔ amoa mu no.

There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, which in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

30 “Mmapɔmma a wofi atifi fam nyinaa ne Sidonfo nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔne atɔfo kɔɔ wɔ animguase mu, wɔn tumi a wɔde hunahuna no nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda hɔ sɛ momonotofo, wɔne wɔn a wokum wɔn wɔ afoa ano, na wɔne wɔn a wosian kɔ amoa mu no asoa wɔn animguase.

There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are ashamed; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

31 “Farao, ɔne nʼasraafo nyinaa behu wɔn na ne werɛ bɛkyekye wɔ ne dɔm a wokunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano no ho, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude: even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

32 Mmom me na memaa Farao ne ne nnipadɔm de ahunahuna trɛtrɛw wɔ ateasefo asase so de, nanso wɔbɛdeda momonotofo mu, wɔn a wɔde afoa kunkum wɔn, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”

For I have put his terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
