< Hesekiel 5 >

1 “Afei onipa ba, fa afoa nnamnam yi yɛ sɛ obi a oyi ti oyiwan na fa yi wo tinwi ne wʼabogyesɛ. Fa nsania na kyekyɛ nwi no mu.
And thou, sone of man, take to thee a scharp swerd, schauynge heeris; and thou schalt take it, and schalt leede it bi thin heed, and bi thi berd. And thou schalt take to thee a balaunce of weiyte, and thou schalt departe tho.
2 Sɛ wo bere a wɔatua mo ano nna no ba awiei a, fa ogya hyew nwi no nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Fa afoa twitwa nkyɛmu abiɛsa no mu baako wɔ kuropɔn no afanan nyinaa. Na hwete nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako wɔ mframa mu, efisɛ mɛtwe afoa ataa wɔn.
Thou schalt brenne the thridde part with fier in the myddis of the citee, bi the fillyng of daies of bisegyng. And thou schalt take the thridde part, and schalt kitte bi swerd in the cumpas therof. But thou schalt scatere `the tother thridde part in to the wynd; and Y schal make nakid a swerd aftir hem.
3 Nanso fa nwi no kakra bi kyekyere wʼatade ano.
And thou schalt take therof a litil noumbre, and thou schalt bynde tho in the hiynesse of thi mentil.
4 Afei nso, fa saa nwi no kakra bi na tow gu ogya mu na hyew. Ogya no bɛterɛw afi hɔ akɔ Israelfi nyinaa.
And eft thou schalt take of hem, and thou schalt caste forth hem in to the myddis of the fier. And thou schalt brenne hem in fier; and fier schal go out of that in to al the hous of Israel.
5 “Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Eyi ne Yerusalem a mede asi amanaman no ntam na nsase atwa ho ahyia.
The Lord God seith these thingis, This is Jerusalem; Y haue sette it in the myddis of hethene men, and londis in the cumpas therof.
6 Nanso nʼamumɔyɛ mu, wayɛ dɔm atia me mmara ne me nhyehyɛe asen aman ne nsase a atwa ne ho ahyia no. Wapo me mmara na wanni mʼahyɛde so.
And it dispiside my domes, that it was more wickid than hethene men; and it dispiside my comaundementis more than londis that ben in the cumpas therof. For thei han cast awei my domes, and thei yeden not in my comaundementis.
7 “Enti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Woayɛ asoɔden asen amanaman a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia na woanni mʼahyɛde anaa me mmara so no. Woanyɛ sɛnea aman a atwa wo ho ahyia no yɛ mpo.
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For ye `han passid hethene men that ben in youre cumpas, and ye yeden not in my comaundementis, and ye diden not my domes, and ye wrouyten not bi the domes of hethene men that ben in youre cumpas;
8 “Enti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne woanya, Yerusalem, na mede asotwe bɛba wo so wɔ amanaman no anim.
therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y to thee, and Y my silf schal make domes in the myddis of thee, bifor the iyen of hethene men; and Y schal do thingis in thee,
9 Esiane wʼahoni nyinaa a ɛyɛ akyiwade no nti, mɛyɛ wo nea menyɛɛ bi da na merenyɛ bi bio nso da.
whiche Y dide not, and to whiche Y schal no more make lijk thingis, for alle thin abhomynaciouns.
10 Enti mo mu no, agyanom bedi wɔn mma nam na mma adi wɔn agyanom nam. Mɛtwe wʼaso na mahwete wo nkae akɔ mmaa nyinaa.
Therfor fadris schulen ete sones in the myddis of thee, and sones schulen ete her fadris; and Y schal make domes in thee, and Y schal wyndewe alle thin remenauntis in to ech wynd.
11 Enti sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade na ose, esiane sɛ wode nsɛsode tantan ne akyiwade nneyɛe agu me kronkronbea ho fi nti, mʼankasa meyi mʼadom afi wo so; merenhu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo.
Therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord God, no but for that that thou defoulidist myn hooli thing in alle thin offenciouns, and in alle thin abhomynaciouns; and Y schal breke, and myn iye schal not spare, and Y schal not do merci.
12 Wo nkurɔfo no mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako bewuwu wɔ ɔyaredɔm no mu, anaasɛ ɔkɔm bekunkum wɔn; nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano wɔ wʼafasu akyi na mabɔ nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako nso ahwete mmaa nyinaa na matwe afoa ataa wɔn.
The thridde part of thee schal die bi pestilence, and schal be wastid bi hungur in the middis of thee; and the thridde part of thee schal falle doun bi swerd in thi cumpas; forsothe Y schal scatere thi thridde part in to ech wynd, and Y schal drawe out a swerd after hem.
13 “Afei me bo bedwo na mʼabufuwhyew a etia wɔn no nso ano bɛbrɛ ase na matɔ were. Na sɛ meda mʼabufuwhyew adi kyerɛ wɔn a, wobehu sɛ ɛyɛ me Awurade na makasa wɔ me tumi mu.
And Y schal fille my stronge veniaunce, and Y schal make myn indignacioun to reste in hem, and Y schal be coumfortid. And thei schulen wite, that Y the Lord spak in my feruent loue, whanne Y schal fille al myn indignacioun in hem.
14 “Mɛyɛ wo nnwiriwii ne ahohora wɔ amanaman a atwa wo ho ahyia no mu, ne wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ hɔ no ani so.
And Y schal yyue thee in to desert, in to schenschipe to hethene men that ben in thi cumpas, in the siyt of ech that passith forth.
15 Wobɛyɛ ahohora ne fɛwdi, kɔkɔbɔ ne aninyanne ama amanaman a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia no, bere a mede abufuw ne abufuwhyew ne animka a ano yɛ den retwe wʼaso. Me Awurade na maka.
And thou schalt be schenschipe `and blasfemye, ensaumple and wondryng, among hethene men that ben in thi cumpas, whanne Y schal make domes in thee, in strong veniaunce, and indignacioun, and in blamyngis of ire.
16 Sɛ metow me kɔm agyan a bɔre wɔ ano na ɛsɛe ade wɔ wo a, ɛbɛsɛe wo. Mede ɔkɔm a emu yɛ den bɛba wo so na masiw wʼaduan a wunya no ho kwan.
Y the Lord haue spoke, whanne Y schal sende in to hem the worste arowis of hungur, that schulen bere deth; and whiche Y schal sende, that Y leese you. And Y schal gadere hungur on you, and Y schal al to-breke in you the sadnesse of breed.
17 Mede ɔkɔm ne nkekaboa bɛba wo mu, na wo mma bɛsa ama woayɛ sɛ obi a na onni mma. Ɔyaredɔm ne mogyahwiegu bɛfa wo mu, na mɛtwe afoa wɔ wo so. Me Awurade na maka.”
And Y schal sende in to you hungur, and worste beestis, til to the deth; and pestilence and blood schulen passe bi thee, and Y schal bringe in swerd on thee; Y the Lord spak.
