Hesekiel 39

1 “Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Gog na ka sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Gog, Mesek ne Tubal ɔberempɔn.

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

2 Mɛkyinkyim wo na matwe wʼase. Mede wo bɛfiri atifi fam nohoa tɔnn na mede aba Israel mmepɔ so.

And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

3 Afei, mɛbɔ wo tadua afiri wo nsa benkum mu na mama wʼagyan afiri wo nsa nifa mu agu fam.

And I will strike thy bow out of thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall from thy right hand.

4 Wo ne wʼakodɔm nyinaa ne aman a wɔka wo ho bɛtotɔ wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Mede wo bɛma nnomaa ahodoɔ a wɔpɛ deɛ aporɔ ne wiram mmoa sɛ wɔn aduane.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy troops, and the people that are with thee: I will give thee to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 Mobɛtotɔ wɔ mfuo so, ɛfiri sɛ makasa, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

6 Mɛtɔ ogya agu Magog so ne wɔn a wɔtete hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ mpoano nsase so no na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell securely in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

7 “‘Mɛma me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ahunu me din kronkron wɔ wɔn mu na meremma ho ɛkwan mma wɔnngu me din kronkron ho fi, na aman no bɛhunu sɛ me Awurade mene Ɔkronkronni no wɔ Israel.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them profane my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

8 Ɛreba! Na ampa ara ɛbɛsi, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Ɛda a maka ho asɛm no nie.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day of which I have spoken.

9 “‘Afei wɔn a wɔtete Israel nkuro soɔ bɛfiri adi na wɔde akodeɛ no bɛsɔ ogya, akokyɛm nketewa ne akɛseɛ, tadua ne agyan, mporibaa ne mpea. Wɔde bɛyɛ anyina asɔ ogya mfeɛ nson.

And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the javelins, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

10 Ɛrenhia sɛ wɔbɛkɔ anyina wɔ mfuo no so anaasɛ wɔbɛpɛ bi wɔ kwaeɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde akodeɛ no bɛsɔ ogya. Na wɔbɛfom wɔn a wɔfom wɔn nneɛma no nneɛma, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall lay waste those that wasted them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

11 “‘Saa ɛda no, mɛyɛ amusieeɛ wɔ Israel ama Gog, wɔ bɔnhwa a ɛda baabi a wɔn a wɔtu ɛkwan kɔ apueeɛ fam wɔ ɛpo no ho fa. Ɛbɛsi akwantufoɔ ɛkwan ɛfiri sɛ Gog ne ne nipadɔm no, wɔbɛsie wɔn wɔ hɔ. Ɛno enti wɔbɛfrɛ hɔ sɛ Hamon Gog bɔnhwa.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give to Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the travellers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the travellers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

12 “‘Na Israel efie de abosome nson bɛsie wɔn de adwira asase no.

And seven months shall the house of Israel be in burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so bɛsie wɔn, na ɛda a wɔbɛhyɛ me animuonyam no bɛyɛ nkaeɛda ama wɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ.

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

14 Ɛberɛ biara, wɔbɛfa mmarima daa ama wɔaprapra asase no so. Ebinom bɛfa asase no so nyinaa, na ebinom nso asie wɔn a wɔda so gugu asase no so. “‘Abosome nson akyi no, wɔbɛfiri aseɛ ahwehwɛ asase no so.

And they shall set apart men for the continual task of passing through the land to bury with the travellers those that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

15 Ɛberɛ a wɔrekyinkyin asase no so no, sɛ wɔn mu bi hunu onipa dompe a, ɔbɛhyɛ hɔ agyiraeɛ akɔsi sɛ asiefoɔ bɛfa akɔsie wɔ Hamon Gog bɔnhwa no mu.

And as travellers pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.

16 (Kuro bi bɛba hɔ a ne din de Hamona). Na sei na wɔbɛdwira asase no.’

And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17 “Onipa ba, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Frɛ nnomaa ahodoɔ ne wiram mmoadoma nyinaa na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano mfiri mmeammea mmra afɔrebɔ a meresiesie ama mo no ase, afɔrebɔ kɛseɛ wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Ɛhɔ na mobɛwe ɛnam na moanom mogya.

And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak to every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Mobɛwe nnɔmmarima nam wɔ hɔ na moanom asase so mmapɔmma mogya te sɛ deɛ wɔyɛ nnwennini ne nnwammaa, mpapo ne anantwinini a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Basan ayɛmmoa a wɔadɔre sradeɛ.

Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 Afɔdeɛ a meresiesie ama mo no, mobɛdi sradeɛ kɔsi sɛ mobɛyɛ pintinn na moanom mogya akɔsi sɛ mobɛbobo.

And ye shall eat fat till ye are full, and drink blood till ye are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 Mobɛwe apɔnkɔ ne sotefoɔ, nnɔmmarima ne asraafoɔ ahodoɔ nyinaa ɛnam amee wɔ me ɛpono so,’ Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.

21 “Mɛda mʼanimuonyam adi wɔ amanaman no mu na wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu asotwe ne nsa a mede ato wɔn so.

And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 Ɛfiri saa ɛda no rekorɔ, Israel efie bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no.

So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

23 Na amanaman no bɛhunu sɛ Israelfoɔ kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔn bɔne enti, ɛfiri sɛ wɔanni me nokorɛ. Ɛno enti mede mʼanim hintaa wɔn, na mede wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ nsa na wɔn nyinaa totɔɔ wɔ akofena ano.

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore I hid my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so they all fell by the sword.

24 Me ne wɔn diiɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn ho fi ne wɔn mfomsoɔ teɛ, mede mʼanim hintaa wɔn.

According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done to them, and hidden my face from them.

25 “Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede Yakob bɛfiri nkoasom mu aba na manya ahummɔborɔ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa, na mɛtwe me din kronkron no ho ninkunu.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

26 Wɔn werɛ bɛfiri wɔn animguaseɛ ne nokorɛ a wɔanni me ɛberɛ a na wɔte hɔ asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ wɔn asase so a obiara nhunahuna wɔn.

After they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

27 Sɛ mede wɔn firi amanaman no so sane ba na meboaboa wɔn ano firi wɔn atamfoɔ nsase so a, mɛfa wɔn so ada me kronkronyɛ adi wɔ amanaman no nyinaa ani so.

When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

28 Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ ɛwom sɛ mede wɔn kɔɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ amanaman no mu deɛ, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so a merennya wɔn mu biara wɔ akyire.

Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, who caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them to their own land, and have left none of them there any more.

29 Meremfa mʼanim nhinta wɔn bio, ɛfiri sɛ mɛhwie me Honhom agu Israel efie so, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”

Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
