4 woadi fɔ wɔ mogya a woahwie agu na woagu wo ho fi wɔ ahoni a woayɛ enti. Woama wo nna abɛn, na wo mfeɛ awieeɛ no aba. Enti mɛyɛ wo ahohoradeɛ wɔ amanaman no mu, ne asredeɛ wɔ amantam no nyinaa mu.

17 Afei, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
18 “Onipa ba, Israel efie abɛyɛ dwetɛ ase fi ama me; wɔn nyinaa yɛ kɔbere, sanya, dadeɛ ne sumpii a wɔagya wɔ fononoo mu. Wɔyɛ dwetɛ fi hunaa.
O son of humankind they have become to me [the] house of Israel (dross *Q(K)*) all of them [are] copper and tin and iron and lead in [the] midst of a furnace dross silver they have become.
19 Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ mo nyinaa abɛyɛ dwetɛ fi enti, mɛboaboa mo ano wɔ Yerusalem.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have become all of you dross therefore here I [am] about to gather you into [the] middle of Jerusalem.
20 Sɛdeɛ nnipa boaboa dwetɛ, kɔbere, sumpii ne sanya ano hyɛ fononoo mu de egyadɛreɛ a ano yɛ dene nane no, saa ara na mɛfiri mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ mu aboaboa mo ano wɔ kuropɔn no mu na manane mo.
[the] gathering of Silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into [the] middle of a furnace to blow on it fire to melt [it] so I will gather in anger my and in rage my and I will set down and I will melt you.
21 Mɛboaboa mo ano na mahu mʼabufuhyeɛ ogya agu mo so, na moanane wɔ ne mu.
And I will gather you and I will blow on you with [the] fire of wrath my and you will be melted in [the] midst of it.
22 Sɛdeɛ wɔnane dwetɛ wɔ fononoo mu no, saa ara na mobɛnane wɔ ne mu na moahunu sɛ me Awurade na mahwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu mo so.’”

23 Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn bio sɛ:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
24 “Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ asase no sɛ, ‘Woyɛ asase a woanya osutɔ anaa osuo ampete wo so wɔ abufuo ɛda no.’
O son of humankind say to it you [are] a land [which] not [is] cleansed it not rain its in a day of indignation.
25 Ne mmapɔmma abɔ pɔ bɔne wɔ ne mu te sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔm na ɔtete ne haboa mu. Wɔwe nnipa nam, wɔfa ademudeɛ ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo na wɔma akunafoɔ dɔɔso wɔ ne mu.
A conspiracy of prophets its [is] in [the] midst of it like a lion roaring tearing prey person[s] they have devoured treasure and precious thing[s] they have been taking widows its they have multiplied in [the] midst of it.
26 Nʼasɔfoɔ bu me mmara so na wɔgu mʼakronkronneɛ ho fi; wɔnnkyerɛ nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda deɛ ɛyɛ kronn ne deɛ ɛnyɛ kronn ntam; wɔkyerɛkyerɛ sɛ nsonsonoeɛ biara nna deɛ ɛho nteɛ ne deɛ ɛho teɛ ntam, na wɔbu wɔn ani gu me home nna die so, de gu me ho fi wɔ wɔn mu.
Priests its they have done violence to law my and they have profaned holy things my between a holy thing and a profane thing not they have made a distinction and between unclean [thing] and a clean [thing] not they have made known and from sabbaths my they have hidden eyes their and I have been profaned in midst of them.
27 Nʼadwumayɛfoɔ te sɛ mpataku a wɔretete wɔn ahaboa mu; wɔhwie mogya gu na wɔkum nnipa de pɛ mfasoɔ bɔne.
Princes its in midst its [are] like wolves tearing prey to shed blood to destroy lives so as to make unjust gain unjust gain.
28 Nʼadiyifoɔ nam atorɔ anisoadehunu ne nkontompo nkɔmhyɛ so ma saa nnebɔne yi yɛ fitaa. Wɔka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ,’ wɔ ɛberɛ a Awurade nkasaeɛ.
And prophets its they have plastered for them whitewash [they are] seeing falsehood and [they are] divining for them falsehood [they are] saying thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and Yahweh not he had spoken.
29 Asase no so nnipa di amin na wɔbɔ korɔno; wɔhyɛ ahiafoɔ ne mmɔborɔfoɔ so, wɔnnye ahɔhoɔ ani na wɔde atɛntenenee kame wɔn.
[the] people of The land they have oppressed oppression and they have robbed robbery and [the] poor and [the] needy they have maltreated and the sojourner they have oppressed with not justice.
30 “Mehwehwɛɛ obi wɔ wɔn mu a ɔbɛto ɔfasuo no na wagyina mʼanim wɔ asase no anan mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a merensɛe asase no, nanso manhunu obiara.
And I sought from them a person [who will] build a wall and [who will] stand in the breach before me for the land to not to destroy it and not I found [anyone].
31 Ɛno enti, mɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wɔn so, na mede mʼabufuo a ɛyɛ hu no atɔre wɔn ase, na mama deɛ wɔayɛ nyinaa abɔ wɔn tiri so, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
And I have poured out on them indignation my with [the] fire of wrath my I have made an end of them conduct their on own head their I have requited [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
