Hesekiel 36

1 “Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ na ka sɛ: ‘Israel mmepɔ, montie Awurade asɛm.

And you O son of humankind prophesy to [the] mountains of Israel and you will say O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of Yahweh.

2 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛe na ɔtamfoɔ no ka faa wo ho, “Ahaa! Tete sorɔnsorɔmmea no abɛyɛ yɛn dea.”’

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because he has said the enemy on you aha! and [the] high places of antiquity a possession it has become of us.

3 Ɛno enti, hyɛ nkɔm na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ wɔasɛe mo na wɔataataa mo wɔ afa nyinaa, na ɛno enti mobɛyɛɛ aman a aka no agyapadeɛ ne ahohoradeɛ a ɛda wɔn a wɔsi wo atwetwe ano,

Therefore prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because by cause to desolate and to crush you from round about to be you a possession of [the] rest of the nations and you have been taken up on a lip of a tongue and [the] whispering of [the] people.

4 ɛno enti, Israel mmepɔ, montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm: Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, subɔnka ne bɔnhwa, mmubuiɛ a ada mpan ne deɛ ayɛ afo, fomfa nkuro a animguaseɛ aka wɔn wɔ aman no nkaeɛ a atwa wɔn ho ahyia no mu.

Therefore O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of [the] Lord Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys and to the waste places desolate and to the cities forsaken which they have become spoil and mockery to [the] rest of the nations which [are] from round about.

5 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mefiri anem a emu yɛ den mu akasa atia amanaman a aka no ne Edom nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde fɛdie ne adwemmɔne ayɛ me ɔman wɔn agyapadeɛ sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi afom nʼadidibea.’

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if not in [the] fire of jealousy my I have spoken on [the] rest of the nations and on Edom all of it which they made land my - for themselves into a possession with joy of every heart with scorn of self so that pastureland its [becomes] spoil.

6 Ɛno enti, hyɛ nkɔm a ɛfa Israel asase ho, na ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, subɔnhwa ne bɔnhwa sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede ninkunutweɛ mu anibereɛ kasa, ɛfiri sɛ amanaman no abu wo animtiaa.

Therefore prophesy on [the] land of Israel and you will say to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I in jealousy my and in rage my I have spoken because [the] insult[s] of nations you have borne.

7 Enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mema me nsa so ka ntam sɛ amanaman a atwa wo ho ahyia no nso, wɔbɛbu wɔn animtiaa.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I I lift up hand my if not the nations which to you [are] from round about they insult[s] their they will bear.

8 “‘Nanso mo, Israel mmepɔ, mobɛnya mman, aso aba ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛrenkyɛre wɔbɛba efie.

And you O mountains of Israel branch[es] your you will extend and fruit your you will bear for people my Israel for they have brought near to come.

9 Mo ho hia me na mɛhunu mo mmɔbɔ; wɔbɛfuntum mo na wɔadua mo so aba,

For here I [am] with you and I will turn to you and you will be tilled and you will be sown.

10 na mɛma wo so nnipa adɔɔso. Israel efie nyinaa mpo, nnipa bɛtena wo nkuro no so bio, na wɔbɛsisi mmubuiɛ no nso.

And I will multiply on you human[s] all [the] house of Israel all of it and they will be inhabited the cities and the waste places they will be rebuilt.

11 Israel mmepɔ, mɛma mmarima ne mmoa adɔɔso mo so na wɔbɛwowo na wɔadɔre, mɛma nnipa atena wo mu te sɛ kane no na wɔbɛma woadi yie asene kane no. Na afei mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.

And I will multiply on you human[s] and animal[s] and they will increase and they will be fruitful and I will cause to dwell you like former state your and I will do good more than beginnings your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

12 Mɛma nkurɔfoɔ, me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ, anante wo so. Wɔbɛfa wo na wobɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ na woremma wɔnni mmakuna bio.

And I will cause to walk on you human[s] people my Israel and they will dispossess you and you will become of them an inheritance and not you will repeat again to bereave them.

13 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ nkurɔfoɔ ka kyerɛ wo sɛ, “Israel asase, wokum nnipa we na woma wo ɔman no hwere nʼadehyeɛ” enti,

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because [people are] saying to you [are] devouring human[s] (you *Q(K)*) and bereaving (nations your *Q(K)*) you have been.

14 worenkum nnipa nwe bio na woremma wo ɔman nhwere nʼadehyeɛ bio, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

Therefore human[s] not you will devour again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not (you will bereave *Q(K)*) again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

15 Meremma wo nte amanaman no fɛdie bio, na worenhunu nkurɔfoɔ no animtiabuo bio, na wo ɔman nso renhwe ase bio, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”

And not I will make heard to you again [the] insult[s] of the nations and [the] reproach of peoples not you will bear again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not you will cause to stumble again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

16 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

17 “Onipa ba, ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ te wɔn ankasa asase soɔ no, wɔde wɔn abrabɔ ne wɔn nneyɛɛ guu asase no ho fi. Na wɔn abrabɔ te sɛ ɔbaa bosome nsabuo wɔ mʼani so.

O son of humankind [the] house of Israel [were] dwelling on own land their and they made unclean it by conduct their and by practices their like [the] uncleanness of menstruation it was conduct their before me.

18 Enti mehwiee mʼabufuhyeɛ guu wɔn so ɛfiri sɛ wahwie mogya agu asase no so na wɔde wɔn abosom agu hɔ fi.

And I poured out rage my on them on the blood which they had poured out on the land and by idols their they made unclean it.

19 Mebɔɔ wɔn petee amanaman no so na wɔhwetee wɔn guu nsase no so; megyinaa wɔn abrabɔ ne wɔn nneyɛɛ so buu wɔn atɛn.

And I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed among the lands according to conduct their and according to practices their I judged them.

20 Na baabiara a wɔkɔɔ wɔ amanaman mu no, wɔguu me din kronkron ho fi, ɛfiri sɛ wɔkaa wɔ wɔn ho sɛ, ‘Yeinom yɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ, nanso na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfiri nʼasase so.’

And it came to the nations where they went there and they profaned [the] name of holiness my when said of them [are] [the] people of Yahweh these and from land his they have come out.

21 Me din kronkron ho hia me, deɛ Israel efie guu ho fi wɔ amanaman a wɔkɔɔ so mu no.

And I showed pity on [the] name of holiness my which they had profaned it [the] house of Israel among the nations where they had gone there towards.

22 “Ɛno enti, ka kyerɛ Israel efie sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Israel efie, ɛnyɛ mo enti na merebɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi, na mmom me din kronkron no enti, deɛ moguu ho fi wɔ amanaman a mokɔɔ so mu no.

Therefore say to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not for sake your I [am] about to act O house of Israel that except for [the] name of holiness my which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone there.

23 Mɛda me din kɛseyɛ no kronkronyɛ a woagu ho fi wɔ amanaman mu no adi, edin a woagu ho fi wɔ wɔn mu no. Sɛ mefa wo so da me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni ma wɔhunu a, afei amanaman no bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

And I will show holy name my great that has been] profaned among the nations which you have profaned in midst of them and they will know the nations that I [am] Yahweh [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when I show holy myself by you to eyes their.

24 “‘Na mɛyi wo afiri amanaman no mu, mɛboaboa mo ano afiri nsase no nyinaa so de mo asane aba mo ankasa asase so.

And I will take you from the nations and I will gather you from all the lands and I will bring you into own land your.

25 Mede nsuo korɔgyenn bɛpete mo so na mo ho ate: Mɛte mo ho afiri nkekaawa ne mo ahoni nyinaa ho.

And I will sprinkle on you water pure and you will be pure from all uncleanness your and from all idols your I will purify you.

26 Mɛma wo akoma foforɔ na mede honhom foforɔ ahyɛ wo mu. Mɛyi akoma a ɛte sɛ ɛboɔ no afiri wo mu na mama wo akoma foforɔ a ɛte sɛ honam.

And I will give to you a heart new and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh your and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

27 Na mede me Honhom bɛhyɛ wo mu na mama woadi mʼahyɛdeɛ so na woahwɛ adi me mmara so.

And spirit my I will put in inner being your and I will bring about this: in statutes my you will walk and judgments my you will keep and you will do [them].

28 Mobɛtena asase a mede maa mo agyanom no so. Mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn.

And you will dwell in the land which I gave to ancestors your and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.

29 Mɛprapra mo ho fi nyinaa. Mɛma aduane aba ama abu so na meremma ɛkɔm mma mo so.

And I will save you from all uncleanness your and I will summon the grain and I will increase it and not I will give to you famine.

30 Mɛma nnua so aba ayɛ bebree na mfuo nso abɔ nnɔbaeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛkɔm enti mo anim rengu ase bio wɔ amanaman no mu.

And I will increase [the] fruit of the tree and [the] produce of the field so that that not you may receive again [the] reproach of famine among the nations.

31 Afei, wobɛkae wʼakwammɔne ne wʼamumuyɛ, na wo bɔne ne akyiwadeɛ enti, wo ho bɛyɛ wo nwunu.

And you will remember ways your evil and deeds your which not [were] good and you will loathe faces your on iniquities your and on abominations your.

32 Mepɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛnyɛ mo enti na mereyɛ yei, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Momfɛre na momma mo ani nnwu wɔ mo abrabɔ ho, Ao Israel efie.

Not for sake your I [am] about to act [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh let it be known to you be ashamed and be humiliated from ways your O house of Israel.

33 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛda a mɛte mo ho afiri mo bɔne ho no, mɛma nnipa atena mo nkuro so bio na wɔbɛsisi mmubuiɛ no bio.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day cleanse I you from all iniquities your and I will cause to be inhabited the cities and they will be rebuilt the waste places.

34 Asase a ada mpan no, wɔbɛdua so nneɛma na ɛrenna hɔ kwa sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ wɔ wɔn a na wɔtwam hɔ no ani soɔ no.

And the land desolated it will be tilled in place of that it was a desolation to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.

35 Wɔbɛka sɛ, “Saa asase a ada mpan yi ayɛ sɛ Eden turo. Nkuropɔn a na adane mmubuiɛ, ayɛ afoafo na asɛe yi, wɔabɔ ho ban na nnipa abɛtenatena mu.”

And people will say the land this desolated it has become like [the] garden of Eden and the cities wasted and desolated and broken down [are] fortified they have remained.

36 Afei aman a aka a atwa wo ho ahyia no bɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, makyekyere deɛ na asɛeɛ na madua wɔ deɛ na ada mpan soɔ, me Awurade na maka na mɛyɛ.’

And they will know the nations which they will be left around you that - I Yahweh I have rebuilt the broken down [cities] I have planted the desolated [places] I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.

37 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛtie Israel efie abisadeɛ na mayɛ yei ama wɔn; Mɛma wɔn nkurɔfoɔ adɔɔso sɛ nnwan,

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this I will let myself be sought by [the] house of Israel to act for them I will increase them like flock human[s].

38 wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ nnwankuo a wɔde wɔn kɔ Yerusalem sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ afahyɛ nna. Saa ara na nnipa dodoɔ bɛhyɛ nkuropɔn a abubuo no so ma. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
