Hesekiel 38
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani si Gog, a ɛwɔ Magog asase so no so, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn no; hyɛ nkɔm tia no
Son of man, direct thy face against Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Thubal, and prophesy against him,
3 na ka sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Gog, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn.
And say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Thubal;
4 Mɛkyinkyim wo na mede nnarewa asosɔ wʼapantan mu, na mede wo ne wʼakodɔm nyinaa, wʼapɔnkɔ, wʼapɔnkɔtesofoɔ a wɔhyehyɛ akotaadeɛ ne ɛdɔm kɛseɛ a wɔkurakura akokyɛm akɛseɛ ne nketewa a wɔn nyinaa rehinhim wɔn akofena, apue.
And I will derange thee, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in elegant attire, a great assemblage with bucklers and shields, all of them grasping swords.
5 Persia, Kus ne Put a wɔn nyinaa kurakura akokyɛm na wɔhyehyɛ wɔn dadeɛ kyɛ bɛka wɔn ho,
Persia, Cush, and Put [shall be] with them; all of them with shield and helmet;
6 afei Gomer ne nʼasraafoɔ nyinaa ne Bet-Togarma a wɔfiri atifi fam akyirikyiri ne nʼasraafoɔ ne aman bebree bɛka wo ho.
Gomer and all of its armies; the house of Thogarmah out of the farthest north, and all its armies; many people shall be with thee.
7 “‘Siesie wo ho, yɛ krado, wo ne nipakuo a wɔaboaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ wo nkyɛn nyinaa na yɛ wɔn so hwɛfoɔ.
Be thou ready, and prepare thyself, thou, and all thy assemblages that are assembled about thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 Nna bebree akyi no, wobɛtwe atuo. Mfeɛ bi akyi no wobɛko afa asase bi a wafiri ɔko mu afirie na wɔaboaboa ɛso nnipa afiri amanaman so aba Israel mmepɔ a ada mpan akyɛre no so. Wɔde wɔn fifiri amanaman no mu, na seesei wɔn nyinaa te asomdwoeɛ mu.
After many days shalt thou be ordered forward; in the end of years shalt thou come into the land that is recovering from the sword, and is gathered together out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been ruined for a very long time: [to a people] that are brought forth out of the nations, and that now dwell in safety, all of them.
9 Wo ne wʼasraafoɔ nyinaa ne aman bebrebe a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn no bɛforo akɔ mo anim sɛ ahum. Mobɛyɛ sɛ omununkum akata asase no so.
Thou wilt ascend and come like a tempest, like a cloud to cover the earth wilt thou be, thou, and all thy armies, and the many people with thee.
10 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Saa ɛda no, nsusuiɛ bi bɛba wo tirim na wobɛdwene nhyehyɛeɛ bɔne bi.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It will also come to pass, at the same time, that things will come into thy mind, and thou wilt entertain an evil device;
11 Wobɛka sɛ, “Mɛko afa asase a wɔntoo ɛso nkuraa ho fasuo. Mɛto ahyɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asomdwoeɛ na wɔnnwene hwee ho, a wɔn mu biara nni ɔfasuo, apono ne akyi adaban.
And thou wilt say, I will go up over the land of open towns; I will come against those that are careless, that dwell in safety, all of whom dwell without walls, and have neither bars nor gates,
12 Mɛfom na mawia na madane me nsa atia amanfo a nnipa abɛtena soɔ ne nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ano afiri amanaman so, nnipa a ayɛmmoa ne adwadideɛ abu wɔn soɔ na wɔtete asase no mfimfini.”
To snatch up the spoil, and to take away the prey; to turn thy hand against the ruined places now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the highest part of the land.
13 Seba ne Dedan ne Tarsis adwadifoɔ ne ne nkuraase nyinaa bɛbisa wo sɛ, “Woaba sɛ worebɛfom anaa? Woaboa wo dɔm ano sɛ morebɛwia na moasoa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, ayɛmmoa ne adwadideɛ akɔ na moafa afodeɛ bebree abranso anaa?”’
Sheba, and Dedan, and the traders of Tharshish, with all her young lions, will say unto thee, Art thou come to plunder the spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to carry off the prey? to bear away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to plunder a great spoil?
14 “Ɛno enti, onipa ba hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ Gog sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Saa ɛda no, ɛberɛ a me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ te hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu no, worennwene ho anaa?
Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say unto Gog, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, on the day when my people of Israel dwelleth in safety, shalt thou know [my power].
15 Wobɛfiri wʼasase so wɔ atifi fam nohoa tɔnn, wo ne aman bebree a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ soɔ, nipadɔm kɛseɛ, asraadɔm a ɛso.
And thou wilt come from thy place out of the farthest ends of the north, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great assemblage, and a mighty army;
16 Mobɛtu atene akɔtia me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ te sɛ omununkum a ɛkata asase no so. Nna a ɛbɛba no mu, Gog, mɛma woasɔre atia mʼasase, sɛdeɛ aman no bɛhunu me, ɛberɛ a menam wo so bɛda me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ wɔn anim.
And thou wilt come up against my people of Israel, like a cloud to cover the land; in the latter days will this be, and I will bring thee over my land, in order that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified on thee, before their eyes, O Gog.
17 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛnyɛ wo ne deɛ menam mʼasomfoɔ Israel adiyifoɔ so kaa wo ho asɛm nna a atwam no anaa? Saa ɛberɛ no, wɔde mfeɛ bebree hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ mɛma wo so de atia wɔn.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Art thou [not] he of whom I have spoken in ancient days through means of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days [many] years, that I would bring thee against them?
18 Yei ne deɛ ɛbɛsi saa ɛda no. Sɛ Gog to hyɛ Israel asase so a, mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛsɔre, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
And it shall come to pass at the same time, on the day of Gog's coming over the land of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal, that my fury shall be kindled in my nose.
19 Mʼanem ne mʼabufuhyeɛ mu, mepae mu ka sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no asasewosoɔ kɛseɛ bɛba Israel asase so.
And in my zealousness, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely on that day there shall be a great earthquake in the country of Israel;
20 Ɛpo mu mpataa, ewiem nnomaa, wiram mmoa, abɔdeɛ biara a ɛwea asase soɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ho bɛpopo wɔ mʼanim. Mmepɔ bɛtutu agu, abotan bɛdwiri na afasuo nyinaa abubu agu fam.
And there shall quake at my presence the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 Mɛfrɛ akofena abɛtia Gog wɔ me mmepɔ nyinaa so, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Wɔde akofena bɛsɔre atia wɔn ho wɔn ho.
And I will call against him throughout all my mountains for the sword, saith the Lord Eternal: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 Mede ɔyaredɔm ne mogyahwiegu bɛbu no atɛn, mɛhwie osubrane, ampariboɔ, ogya ne sɔfe a ɛdɛre agu ɔno ne nʼasraafoɔ ne aman bebree a wɔka ne ho no so.
And I will hold judgment over him with pestilence and with blood [-shedding]; and an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur will I let rain over him and his armies, and over the many people that are with him.
23 Enti mɛda me kɛseyɛ ne me kronkronyɛ adi, na mama amanaman ahunu me. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
