Hesekiel 6
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
Again the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,
Sonne of man, Set thy face towardes the mountaines of Israel, and prophecie against them,
3 na ka sɛ, ‘Ao Israel mmepɔ montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, abon ne mmɔnhwa: Merebɛtwe mo so akofena na masɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea.
And say, Ye mountaines of Israel, heare the worde of the Lord God: thus sayth the Lord God to the mountaines and to the hilles, to the riuers and to the valleis, Beholde, I, euen I will bring a sworde vpon you, and I will destroy your hie places:
4 Wɔbɛbubu mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no na wɔasɛe nnuhwam adum; na mɛkunkum mo nkurɔfoɔ wɔ mo ahoni anim.
And your altars shalbe desolate, and your images of the sunne shalbe broken: and I will cast downe your slaine men before your idoles.
5 Mede Israelfoɔ afunu bɛgugu wɔn ahoni anim, na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ ho.
And I will lay the dead carkeises of the children of Israel before their idoles, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 Baabiara a moteɛ no, nkuro no bɛda mpan, na ne sorɔnsorɔmmea bɛsɛe, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no bɛda mpan na ayɛ afo. Mo ahoni bɛbubu na asɛe. Mo nnuhwam adum bɛbubu agu fam, na deɛ moayɛ nso bɛhwere mo.
In all your dwelling places the cities shalbe desolate, and the hie places shalbe laide waste, so that your altars shalbe made waste and desolate, and your idoles shalbe broken, and cease, and your images of the sunne shalbe cut in pieces, and your workes shalbe abolished.
7 Mo nkurɔfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.
And the slaine shall fall in the middes of you, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
8 “‘Nanso mɛgya mo mu bi, ɛfiri sɛ ebinom bɛdwane akofena ano wɔ ɛberɛ a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.
Yet will I leaue a remnant, that you may haue some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shalbe scattred through the countreyes.
9 Na afei wɔ amanaman a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum kɔɔ mu no, wɔn a wɔnyaa wɔn ho firii mu no bɛkae me, sɛdeɛ madi awerɛhoɔ wɔ wɔn awaresɛeɛ akoma a wɔde twee wɔn ho firii me nkyɛn, ne wɔn ani a wɔde nyaa akɔnnɔ bɔne maa wɔn ahoni. Wɔn ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwunu wɔ bɔne ne akyiwadeɛ a wɔayɛ enti.
And they that escape of you, shall remember me among the nations, where they shalbe in captiuitie, because I am grieued for their whorish hearts, which haue departed from mee, and for their eyes, which haue gone a whoring after their idoles, and they shalbe displeased in them selues for the euils, which they haue committed in all their abominations.
10 Wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.
And they shall knowe that I am the Lord, and that I haue not saide in vaine, that I woulde doe this euill vnto them.
11 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mommɔ mo nsam na momfa mo nan mpempem fam na monteam sɛ, “A!” Esiane Israel efie amumuyɛ ne akyiwadeɛ nyinaa enti, wɔbɛwuwu akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano.
Thus saith the Lord God, Smite with thine hand, and stretch forth with thy foote, and say, Alas, for all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12 Ɔyaredɔm bɛkum deɛ ɔwɔ akyirikyiri. Deɛ ɔbɛn no bɛtɔ akofena ano na deɛ ɔbɛfiri mu na waka no, ɛkɔm bɛkum no. Saa na mede mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛyɛ wɔn.
He that is farre off, shall dye of the pestilence, and he that is neere, shall fall by the sword, and hee that remaineth and is besieged, shall dye by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath vpon them.
13 Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, ɛberɛ a wɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔatotɔ afunu deda wɔn ahoni ntam atwa wɔn afɔrebukyia ho ahyia, wɔ nkokoɔ a ɛkorɔn nyinaa so, mmepɔ atifi nyinaa ne nnua a adendan ne odum frɔmfrɔm ase, mmea mmea a wɔde nnuhwam bɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn ahoni nyinaa.
Then ye shall knowe, that I am ye Lord, when their slaine men shalbe among their idoles round about their altars, vpon euerie hie hill in al the toppes of the mountaines, and vnder euery greene tree, and vnder euerie thicke oke, which is the place where they did offer sweete sauour to all their idoles.
14 Afei mɛtene me nsa wɔ wɔn so na mama asase no ada mpan afiri anweatam no akɔsi Ribla, baabiara a wɔtete. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’”
So will I stretch mine hand vpon them, and make the lande waste, and desolate from the wildernes vnto Diblath in all their habitations, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
