Hesekiel 39

1 “Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Gog na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya. Gog, Mesek ne Tubal obirɛmpɔn.

And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:

2 Mekyinkyim wo na matwe wʼase. Mede wo befi atifi fam nohɔ tɔnn na mede aba Israel mmepɔw so.

and I will assemble you, and guide you, and raise you up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring you up upon the mountains of Israel.

3 Afei, mɛbɔ wo bɛmma afi wo nsa benkum mu na mama wʼagyan afi wo nsa nifa mu agu fam.

And I will destroy the bow out of your left hand, and your arrows out of your right hand, and I will cast you down on the mountains of Israel;

4 Wo ne wʼasraafo nyinaa ne aman a wɔka wo ho no bɛtotɔ wɔ Israel mmepɔw so. Mede wo bɛma nnomaa ahorow a wɔpɛ nea aporɔw ne wuram mmoa sɛ wɔn aduan.

and you and all that belong to you shall fall, and the nations that are with you shall be given to multitudes of birds, [even] to every fowl, and I have given you to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 Mobɛtotɔ wɔ mfuw so, efisɛ makasa, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

You shall fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.

6 Mɛtɔ ogya agu Magog so ne wɔn a wɔtete hɔ asomdwoe mu wɔ mpoano nsase so no na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.

And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 “‘Mɛma me nkurɔfo Israelfo ahu me din kronkron wɔ wɔn mu na meremma ho kwan ma wonngu me din kronkron no ho fi na aman no behu sɛ me Awurade mene Ɔkronkronni no wɔ Israel.

And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy [One] in Israel.

8 Ɛreba! na ampa ara ebesi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni. Da a maka ho asɛm no ni.

Behold it is come, and you shall know that it shall be, says the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken.

9 “‘Afei wɔn a wɔtete Israel nkurow so befi adi na wɔde akode no bɛsɔ gya, akokyɛm nketewa ne akɛse, bɛmma ne agyan, nkontimmaa ne mpeaw. Wɔde bɛyɛ nnyina asɔ gya mfe ason.

And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and the spears, and bows and arrows, and hand-staves, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years:

10 Ɛrenhia sɛ wɔbɛkɔ anyan wɔ mfuw so anaasɛ wɔbɛpɛ bi wɔ kwae mu, efisɛ wɔde akode no bɛsɔ gya. Na wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe wɔn nneɛma no nneɛma na wɔafom wɔn a wɔfom wɔn nneɛma no nso nneɛma, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, says the Lord.

11 “‘Saa da no, mɛyɛ amusiei wɔ Israel ama Gog, wɔ obon a ɛda baabi a wɔn a wotu kwan kɔ apuei fam wɔ po no ho no fa no. Ebesiw akwantufo kwan efisɛ wobesie Gog ne ne dɔm no wɔ hɔ. Ɛno nti wɔbɛfrɛ hɔ se Hamon Gog bon.

And it shall come to pass [that] in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial-place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and [the place] shall then be called the burial-place of Gog.

12 “‘Na Israelfi de asram ason besie wɔn de adwira asase no.

And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months.

13 Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so besie wɔn na da a wɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam no bɛyɛ nkaeda ama wɔn, Otumfo Awurade na ose.

Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a [place] of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, says the Lord.

14 Wɔbɛkɔ so afa nnipa ama wɔatew asase no ho. Ebinom bɛfa asase no so nyinaa, na ebinom nso asie wɔn a wɔda so gugu asase no so no. “‘Asram ason akyi no wɔbɛhwehwɛ asase no so yiye.

And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek [them] out.

15 Bere a wɔrekyinkyin asase no so no, sɛ wɔn mu bi hu onipa dompe a, ɔbɛhyɛ hɔ agyirae akosi sɛ asieifo bɛfa akosie wɔ Hamon Gog bon no mu.

And every one that goes through the land, and sees a man's bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog.

16 (Kurow bi bɛba hɔ a ne din de Hamona). Na sɛɛ na wobedwira asase no.’

For the name of the city [shall be] Burial-place: so shall the land be cleansed.

17 “Onipa ba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Frɛ nnomaa ahorow ne wuram mmoadoma nyinaa na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano mfi mmeaemmeae mmra afɔrebɔ a meresiesie ama mo no ase, afɔrebɔ kɛse wɔ Israel mmepɔw so. Hɔ na mubedi nam na moanom mogya.

And you, son of man, say, Thus says the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, Gather yourselves, and come; gather yourselves from all [places] round about to my sacrifice, which I have made for you, [even] a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Mobɛwe dɔmmarima nam wɔ hɔ na moanom asase so mmapɔmma mogya te sɛ nea wɔyɛ adwennini ne nguantenmma, mpapo ne anantwinini a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Basan nyɛmmoa a wɔadodɔ srade.

You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and you shall drink the blood of princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves.

19 Afɔre a meresiesie ama mo no, mubedi srade akosi sɛ mobɛyɛ pintinn na moanom mogya akosi sɛ mobɛbobow.

And you shall eat fat till you are full, and shall drink wine till you are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you.

20 Mobɛwe apɔnkɔ ne sotefo, dɔmmarima ne asraafo ahorow nyinaa nam amee wɔ me pon so,’ Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

And you shall be filled at my table, [eating] horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, says the Lord.

21 “Mɛda mʼanuonyam adi wɔ amanaman no mu na wɔn nyinaa behu asotwe ne nsa a mede ato wɔn so no.

And I will set my glory among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them.

22 Efi saa da no rekɔ, Israelfi behu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn no.

And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onwards.

23 Na amanaman no behu sɛ Israelfo kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔn bɔne nti, efisɛ wɔanni me nokware. Ɛno nti mede mʼanim hintaw wɔn, na mede wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfo nsa na wɔn nyinaa totɔɔ wɔ afoa ano.

And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24 Mene wɔn dii no sɛnea wɔn ho fi ne wɔn mfomso te, mede mʼanim hintaw wɔn.

According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them.

25 “Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede Yakob befi nkoasom mu aba na manya ahummɔbɔ ama Israelfo nyinaa, na mɛtwe me din kronkron no ho ninkunu.

Therefore thus says the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name.

26 Wɔn werɛ befi wɔn animguase ne nokware a wɔanni me bere a na wɔte hɔ asomdwoe mu wɔ wɔn asase so a obiara nhunahuna wɔn no.

And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they lived upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify [them]

27 Sɛ mede wɔn fi amanaman no so san ba na meboaboa wɔn ano fi wɔn atamfo nsase so a, mɛfa wɔn so ada me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ amanaman no nyinaa ani so.

when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified among them in the presence of the nations.

28 Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no, efisɛ ɛwɔ mu sɛ mede wɔn kɔɔ nnommum mu wɔ amanaman no mu de, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so a merennyaw wɔn mu biara wɔ akyi.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them among the nations.

29 Meremfa mʼanim nhintaw wɔn bio, efisɛ mehwie me Honhom agu Israelfi so, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”

And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
