And take thou to thee an irone friynge panne; and thou schalt sette it in to an irone wal bitwixe thee and bitwixe the cite; and thou schalt sette stidfastli thi face to it, and it schal be in to bisegyng, and thou schalt cumpasse it; it is a signe to the hous of Israel.
4 “Afei da wo benkum so na fa Israel bɔne to wo ho so. Wobɛsoa wɔn bɔne nna dodow a wode da wo fa so no.
And thou schalt slepe on thi left side, and thou schalt putte the wickidnessis of the hous of Israel on that side, in the noumbre of daies in which thou shalt slepe on that side, and thou schalt take the wickidnesse of hem.
5 Mede wɔn bɔne mfe no ayɛ nna dodow ama wo. Enti nnafua ahaasa ne aduɔkron na wode bɛsoa Israelfi bɔne.
Forsothe Y yaf to thee the yeeris of the wickidnesse of hem bi noumbre of daies, thre hundrid and nynti daies; and thou schalt bere the wickidnesse of the hous of Israel.

7 Dan wʼani kyerɛ Yerusalem ntuano no na fa nsa pan hyɛ nkɔm tia no.
And thou schalt turne thi face to the biseging of Jerusalem; and thin arm schal be stretchid forth, and thou schalt profesie ayens it.
8 Mede ntampehama bɛkyekyere wo sɛnea worentumi nnan wo ho kosi sɛ nna a wɔde tua mo ano no bɛba nʼawie.
Lo! Y haue cumpassid thee with boondis, and thou schalt not turne thee fro thi side in `to other side, tille thou fille the daies of thi bisegyng.
9 “Fa atoko ne awi, asɛ ne asedua, kɔkɔte ne aburow; fa ne nyinaa gu adekora kuruwa mu na fa to brodo a wubedi. Eyi na wubedi wɔ nnafua ahaasa ne aduɔkron a woda wo fa so no.

13 Awurade kae se: “Saa ara na Israelfo bedi aduan a wɔagu ho fi wɔ amanaman a mɛpam wɔn akɔ so no.”
The Lord seith these thingis, So the sones of Israel schulen ete her breed defoulid among hethene men, to whiche Y schal caste hem out.
14 Na mekae se, “Ɛnte saa, Otumfo Awurade! Minguu me ho fi da. Efi me mmofraase besi saa bere yi, minnii aboa funu anaa nea nkekaboa bi akum no atetew ne mu da. Nam a ɛho agu fi nkaa mʼano da.”

17 efisɛ aduan ne nsu ho bɛyɛ na. Wɔn ho bedwiriw wɔn sɛ wohu wɔn ho wɔn ho, na wɔn bɔne nti wɔbɛfonfɔn.”
