Hesekiel 26
1 Afe a ɛtɔ so dubaako no bosome ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
And it was in one [plus] ten year on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Onipa ba, Tiro aka afa Yerusalem ho sɛ ‘Ahaa! Amanaman no ano ɛpono abubu na nʼapono no abuebue ama me; seesei a kuropɔn yi asɛe yi, mɛnya nkɔsoɔ.’
O son of humankind because that it said Tyre on Jerusalem aha! it is broken [the] doors of the peoples it has been turned over to me I will be filled it has been laid waste.
3 Ɛno enti, sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya Tiro, mede aman bebree bɛba abɛtia wo te sɛ ɛpo a ɛrebɔ nʼasorɔkye.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Tyre and I will bring up on you nations many as brings up the sea waves its.
4 Wɔbɛsɛe Tiro afasuo na wɔadwiri nʼaban tentene. Mɛtwerɛ ɛso dɔteɛ agu ama ayɛ ɔbotan kwawee.
And they will destroy [the] walls of Tyre and they will tear down towers its and I will scrape away dust its from it and I will make it into bareness of rock.
5 Ɛpo mu, ɔbɛyɛ beaeɛ a wɔhata asau, ɛfiri sɛ makasa. Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Ɔbɛyɛ amanaman no afodeɛ,
A spreading place of nets it will be in [the] middle of the sea for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and it will become spoil for the nations.
6 na akofena bɛsɛe nʼatenaeɛ a ɛwɔ asase kesee soɔ no pasaa. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade no.
And daughters its which [are] on the land with the sword they will be killed and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
7 “Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merekɔfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, ahene mu hene, ne ne apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam, ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ ne akodɔm kɛseɛ afiri atifi fam abɛtia wo.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon from [the] north [the] king of kings with horse[s] and with chariotry and with horsemen and a company and a people numerous.
8 Ɔde akofena bɛsɛe wʼatenaeɛ a ɛwɔ asase kesee no so pasaa; ɔbɛsisi mpampim ayɛ epie wɔ wʼafasuo ho na wama nʼakokyɛm so atia wo.
Daughters your on the land with the sword he will kill and he will make on you a siege-wall and he will pour out on you a mound and he will raise up on you a body shield.
9 Ɔde obubuadaban nnua bɛpempem wʼafasuo no, na ɔde akodeɛ abubu wʼaban atentene no asɛe no.

10 Nʼapɔnkɔ no bɛdɔɔso yie, na wɔbɛbɔ mfuturo akata wo so. Ɔsa apɔnkɔ no, nkyimiiɛ ne nteaseɛnam nnyegyeeɛ bɛma wʼafasuo awoso ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛne wɔapono mu, sɛdeɛ mmarima hyɛne kuropɔn a nʼafasuo mu adeda akwan.
From [the] abundance of horses his it will cover you dust their from [the] sound of a horseman and wheel[s] and chariot[s] they will shake walls your when comes he in gates your like [the] entering of a city broken into.
11 Nʼapɔnkɔ no ntɔte bɛtiatia wo mmɔntene nyinaa so. Ɔde akofena bɛkunkum wo nkurɔfoɔ na wʼafadum denden no bɛbubu agu fam.

And I will make you into bareness of rock a spreading place of nets you will be not you will be built again for I Yahweh I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
15 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Tiro: Sɛ wo mpoano nkuro no te wʼasehweɛ ho apinisie ne akunkumakunkum a asi wɔ wo mu a, wɔn ho rempopo anaa?
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Tyre ¿ not - from [the] sound of downfall your when groan [the] fatally wounded when is killed a slaughter in [the] midst of you will they quake the islands.
16 Afei mpoano mmapɔmma no nyinaa bɛfiri wɔn nhennwa so, ayiyi wɔn ngugusoɔ ne ntadeɛ a wɔadi mu adwini agu hɔ. Ehu bɛbɔ wɔn ama wɔatenatena fam. Wɔn ho bɛpopo na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo enti.
And they will go down from on thrones their all [the] princes of the sea and they will remove robes their and [the] clothes of multicolored cloth their they will strip off trembling - they will be clothed on the ground they will sit and they will tremble to moments and they will be appalled on you.
17 Afei wɔbɛma kwadwom a ɛfa wo ho so sɛ: “‘Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔasɛe woɔ, Ao kuropɔn a wagye din, wo a ɛpo sofoɔ na ɛte wo mu, na anka wowɔ tumi wɔ ɛpo so! Wo ne wo manfoɔ; wo de ehu hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ nyinaa mu.
And they will take up on you a lamentation and they will say to you how! you have perished O inhabited [city] from [the] seas O city that was praised which it was mighty in the sea it and inhabitants its which they gave terror their to all inhabitants its.
18 Seesei, mpoano nsase no ho popo wɔ wʼasehweɛ ɛda no; nsupɔ a ɛwɔ ɛpo mu no abɔ hu wɔ wʼasehweɛ no ho.’
Now they will tremble the islands [the] day of downfall your and they will be terrified the islands which [are] in the sea because went out you.
19 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ mema woyɛ kuropɔn a ada mpan te sɛ nkuropɔn a nnipa ntete so, na sɛ mema ɛpo bunu ba wo so na sɛ ne mu nsuo bebrebe no bɛkata wo so a,
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when make I you a city desolate like cities which not they are inhabited when bring up over you [the] deep and they will cover you the waters many.
20 mede wo ne wɔn a wɔkɔ amena mu no bɛsiane akɔ teteetefoɔ no nkyɛn. Mɛma woatena asase ase hɔ te sɛ tete mmubuiɛ, wo ne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no, na worensane anaa worennya kyɛfa wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
And I will send down you with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit to a people of antiquity and I will cause to dwell you in [the] earth of [the] lowest parts like waste places from long ago with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit so that not you will remain and I will put splendor in [the] land of [the] living.
21 Mede wo bɛba awieeɛ a ɛyɛ hu mu, na worentena asase so bio. Wɔbɛhwehwɛ wo nanso wɔrenhunu wo bio da, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
Terrors I will give to you and there not [will be] you so you may be sought and not you will be found again for ever [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
