< 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 do thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal!
2 Mekyinkyim wo na matwe wʼase. Mede wo befi atifi fam nohɔ tɔnn na mede aba Israel mmepɔw so.
I will turn thee, and lead thee about, and cause thee to come up from the regions of the North. and bring thee 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 smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
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.
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy hosts, and the nations that are with thee. To the ravenous birds of every wing, and to the beasts of the forest, give I thee to be devoured.
5 Mobɛtotɔ wɔ mfuw so, efisɛ makasa, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
Thou shalt fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 Magog, and upon them that dwell in security in the sea-coasts; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
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.
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not suffer my holy name to be polluted any more; and the nations shall
8 Ɛreba! na ampa ara ebesi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni. Da a maka ho asɛm no ni.
know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel. Behold it cometh, and shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah. This is the day of which I spake.
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.
Then shall the inhabitants of the cities of Israel go forth, and set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, the hand-staves and the spears, and they shall make fires of them 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.
They shall take no wood from the field, neither shall they cut down any from the forests; for they shall make their fires of the weapons. And they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and plunder those that plundered them, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 in that day, that I will give to Gog a place there, a grave in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea; and it shall stop the way of passengers. There shall they bury Gog and all his multitude, and they shall call it “The valley of the multitude of Gog.”
12 “‘Na Israelfi de asram ason besie wɔn de adwira asase no.
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so besie wɔn na da a wɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam no bɛyɛ nkaeda ama wɔn, Otumfo Awurade na ose.
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be renown to them, in the day when I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 set apart men to be constantly employed, who, passing through the land, with the aid of those that pass by, shall bury those that remain upon the face of the land to cleanse it; at the end of the seven months shall they search.
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 when any of the travellers that pass through the land shall see a man's bone, they shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.
16 (Kurow bi bɛba hɔ a ne din de Hamona). Na sɛɛ na wobedwira asase no.’
Also the name of a city shall be Multitude. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
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 thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Say to the birds of every wing, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves and come, gather yourselves from every side to my sacrifice which I make for you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel; and ye 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.
the flesh of the mighty shall ye eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatted in Bashan.
19 Afɔre a meresiesie ama mo no, mubedi srade akosi sɛ mobɛyɛ pintinn na moanom mogya akosi sɛ mobɛbobow.
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I make for you.
20 Mobɛwe apɔnkɔ ne sotefo, dɔmmarima ne asraafo ahorow nyinaa nam amee wɔ me pon so,’ Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
Thus shall ye be filled at my table with horses and riders, and mighty men and warriors of all kinds, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid 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 Jehovah, their God, from that day and forward.
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 the nations shall know that the house of Israel were carried into captivity for their iniquity. Because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies, so that 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 uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I dealt with them, and hid 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole house of Israel, and be jealous for 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.
Then shall they forget their shame and all their trespasses with which they trespassed against me, when they dwell in security in their own land, and none maketh them afraid.
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 bring them back from the nations, and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then will I be glorified in regard to them before the eyes of many 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 Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to be carried into captivity among the nations, and gathered them into their own land, and left none of them there.
29 Meremfa mʼanim nhintaw wɔn bio, efisɛ mehwie me Honhom agu Israelfi so, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
And I will hide my face from them no more; for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
