Hesekiel 35
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying,
2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔw Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no,
Son of man Set thy face against Mount Seir, —and prophesy against it;
3 na ka se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔw Seir, na mɛteɛ me basa atia wo na mɛma wo ada mpan.
and thou shalt say to it Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee Mount Seir, —Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment:
4 Mɛdan wo nkurow ama ayɛ mmubui na wobɛda mpan. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
Thy cities, will I lay waste, And thou—a desolation, shalt become, So shalt thou know that I, am Yahweh.
5 “‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na wuyii Israelfo maa afoa wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, bere a wɔn asotwe duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no
Because thou hast had an age-abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto the hands of the sword, - In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity,
6 nti, sɛ mete ase yi de, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, mede wo bɛma mogyahwiegu na ebedi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwiegu no nti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely regarding blood, will I deal with thee, Blood therefore, shall pursue thee, -Since blood thou hast not hated, Therefore blood, shall pursue thee,
7 Mɛma bepɔw Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wodi so akɔneaba no afi hɔ.
So then I will deliver up Mount Seir to desolation after desolation, - And will cut off therefrom him that passeth by and him that returneth,
8 Mede atɔfo bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔw so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano bɛtotɔ ase wɔ wo nkoko so, aku mu ne wo subon mu.
And I will fill his mountains with his slain, — As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword shall fall therein:
9 Mɛma woada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkurow so. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
Desolations age-abiding, will I make thee, And thy cities, shall not be inhabited, - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
10 “‘Woaka se, “Saa aman abien ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea, na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ bere a me Awurade mete hɔ;
Because thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it Whereas Yahweh, had been there,
11 enti sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, me ne wo bedi no sɛnea abufuw ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotan wɔn no mu no te, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, bere a mebu wo atɛn.
Therefore as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred with them, - So will I make myself known among them as soon as I shall judge thee
12 Afei wubehu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiaabu nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔw no. Wokae se, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadan ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
And thou shalt know that, I Yahweh, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel saying, They have become desolate, — To us, have they been given for food;
13 Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na metee.
And so ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, And have caused to abound against me your words, —I, have heard!
14 Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Bere a wiase nyinaa redi ahurusi no, mɛma wo ada mpan.
Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — When all the earth is rejoicing, a desolation, will I make thee:
15 Sɛnea wudii ahurusi bere a Israelfi agyapade daa mpan no, saa ɔkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔw Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it had become a desolation, so, will, I, do unto thee, — A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir And all Edom all of it, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
