Hesekiel 25

1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Amonfoɔ so na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn.

Son of man, set your face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3 Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ wokaa “Ahaa” guu me kronkronbea so ɛberɛ a wɔguu ho fi ne Israel asase ɛberɛ a ɛdaa mpan, ne Yudafoɔ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔɔ nnommumfa mu

and you shall say to the children of Ammon, Hear you the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord; Forasmuch as you have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity;

4 enti, mede mo rebɛma nnipa a wɔfiri Apueeɛ fam na wɔde mo ayɛ wɔn dea. Wɔbɛkyekyere wɔn nsraban, asisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ mo mu; wɔbɛdi mo nnuaba na wɔanom mo nufosuo.

therefore, behold, I [will] deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in you with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in you: they shall eat your fruits, and they shall drink your milk.

5 Mɛdane Raba ayɛ no yoma adidibea na Amon ayɛ baabi a nnwan gye wɔn ahome. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.

And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels' pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

6 Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade sɛe: Esiane sɛ moabɔ mo nsam de mo nan apempem hɔ, na mo de akoma mu bɔne nyinaa adi ahurisie atia Israel asase enti,

For thus says the Lord; Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with your foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

7 mɛtene me nsa atia mo na moayɛ afodeɛ ama amanaman no. Mɛtwa mo afiri amanaman no mu na matɔre mo ase wɔ nsase no mu. Mɛsɛe mo na mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

therefore I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy you from amongst the peoples, and I will completely cut you off from out of the countries: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

8 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Moab ne Seir kaa sɛ, “Monhwɛ, Yuda efie ayɛ sɛ amanaman a aka no”

Thus says the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Juda like all the [other] nations?

9 enti, mɛbue Moab nkyɛn mu, afiri nkuro a ɛdeda nʼahyeɛ so, Bet-Yesimot, Baal-Meon ne Kiriataim, a ɛyɛ asase no animuonyam.

Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, [even] the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side.

10 Na mede Moab bɛka Amonfoɔ ho ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Apueeɛ fam de ayɛ wɔn dea, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenkae Amonfoɔ wɔ amanaman no mu;

I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon.

11 na mɛtwe Moab aso. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Edom tɔɔ werɛ wɔ Yuda efie so na ɔnam so dii fɔ no enti,

Thus says the Lord; Because of what the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on the house of Juda, and [because they] have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

13 deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: Mɛtene me nsa atia Edom na makum ne mmarima ne ne mmoa. Mɛma asase a ɛda Teman kɔsi Dedan ada mpan, na wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano.

therefore thus says the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shall fall by the sword.

14 Me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ bɛyɛ nsa a mɛfa so atɔ Edom so wereɛ na wɔ ne no bɛdi no sɛdeɛ mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ teɛ; wɔbɛhunu mʼaweretɔ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”

And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord.

15 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: ‘Esiane sɛ Filistifoɔ tɔɔ awere, na wɔde akoma mu nsusuiɛ bɔne na ɛyɛɛ saa, na wɔde ɔtane a ɛfiri tete sɛee Yuda enti,

Therefore thus says the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy [the Israelites] to a man;

16 sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: Merebɛtene me nsa atia Filistifoɔ, na matwa Keretifoɔ no agu na masɛe wɔn a wɔaka wɔ mpoano hɔ no.

therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast.

17 Mɛtɔ wɔn so were a ɛso, na matwe wɔn aso wɔ mʼabufuhyeɛ mu. Na sɛ metɔ wɔn so were a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
