Hesekiel 25

1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

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

Son of man Set thy face against the sons 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

So then thou shalt say to the sons of Ammon, Hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh: Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh: Because thou saidst Aha! Against my sanctuary when it was profaned. And against the soil of Israel when it was laid waste, And against the house of Judah when they went into exile.

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 me! delivering thee up to the Sons of the East for a possession And they shall set their encampments in thee, And place in thee their habitations, They, shall eat thy fruits, And they, shall drink thy 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 make of Rabbah a home for camels, And the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou didst clap thy hands and stamp with thy foot, —and didst rejoice with all thy contempt in thy soul, against the soil 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 behold me! I have stretched out my hand over thee And will deliver thee for a prey to the nations, And will cut thee off from among the peoples, And will cause thee to perish from among the lands, — I will destroy thee, So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.

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

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Lo! like all the nations, is the house of Judah.

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 me! laying open the side of Moab out of the cities, Out of his cities on his frontiers, The beauty of the land of Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim:

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;

To the Sons of the East [when they come] against the sons of Ammon, and I will deliver it up for possession, -to the end the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations:

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

Also upon Moab, will I execute judgments, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh.

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

Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because of what Edom hath done, in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, so that they have become guilty again and again and have taken vengeance upon them,

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, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will therefore stretch forth my hand over Edom, and will cut off therefrom man and beast, And will deliver it up as a desolation, from Teman, And they of Dedan, by the sword, shall fall,

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 put forth mine avenging against Edom, by the hand of my people Israel, And they shall deal with Edom, according to mine anger and according to mine indignation, - So shall they know mine avenging, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh,

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,

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because of what the Philistines have done by way of vengeance, - In that they have taken vengeance with contempt in the soul, to destroy, with the enmity of age-past times.

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, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! stretching forth my hand over the Philistines, And I will cut off the Cherethim, — And will cause to perish the remnant of the coast of the sea;

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 upon them great vengeance, with rebukes of indignation: shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I put forth mine avenging against them.
