Ezekiel 12
1 The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
2 “Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
“Ame vi, èle dukɔ dzeaglã aɖe me. Ŋku li na ameawo be woakpɔ nu, gake womekpɔa nu o, to li na wo be woase nu, gake womesea nu o, elabena wonye aglãdzelawo.
3 “Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
“Eya ta ame vi, ƒo ƒu wò nuwo hena aboyomeyiyi. Le ŋkeke me, esi ameawo le kpɔwòm la, dze mɔ tso afi si nèle, nàyi teƒe bubu. Ɖewohĩ woase egɔme togbɔ be wonye aglãdzelawo hã.
4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
Le ŋkeke me la, esime wole kpɔwòm la, ɖe wò nu siwo nètsɔ do agbae na aboyomeyiyi la ɖe go. Ekema le fiẽ me la, esi wole kpɔwòm la, dze mɔ abe ame siwo yina aboyo me ene.
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
Esi wole kpɔwòm la, ŋɔ gli la, eye nàtsɔ wò nuwo to gli ŋɔŋɔ la me.
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you do not see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
Tsɔ wo ɖe wò abɔta le woƒe ŋkume, eye nàtsɔ wo adzoe ne blukɔ do. Tsyɔ nu mo ale be màkpɔ anyigba la o, elabena metsɔ wò wɔ dzesii na Israel ƒe aƒe la.”
7 I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
Ale mewɔ nu si wòɖo nam. Le ŋkeke me la, metsɔ nye nuwo do agbae na aboyomeyiyi. Le fiẽ me la, meŋɔ gli la kple nye asiwo. Esi blukɔ do la, metsɔ nye nuwo ɖe abɔta, do goe le ameawo ŋkume.
8 In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Le ŋdi me la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Ame vi, ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe dzeaglã ma me tɔwo mebia wò be, ‘Nu ka wɔm nèle?’ o mahã.
10 “Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
“Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: gbedeasi sia ku ɖe fiavi si le Yerusalem kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la me tɔ siwo le afi ma la ŋu.’
11 “Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Dzesie menye na mi.’ “Nu si mewɔ la, nu ma woawɔ na wo. Woalé wo ayi aboyo mee.
12 “‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
“Fiavi si le wo dome la, atsɔ eƒe nuwo ɖe abɔta adzo ne blukɔ do, eye woaɖe do ɖe gli la me nɛ be wòado to eme. Atsɔ nu atsyɔ eƒe mo ale be mate ŋu akpɔ anyigba la o.
13 I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
Maɖo nye ɖɔ nɛ, eye nye mɔ aɖee. Makplɔe ayi Babilonia, le Kaldeatɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, gake makpɔ anyigba la o, eye wòaku ɖe afi ma.
14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
Makaka ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe, eŋumewo kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã ɖe yawo nu, eye mati wo yome kple yi.
15 “‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
“Woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa, ne mekaka wo ɖe dukɔwo me kple anyigbawo dzi.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ke maɖe wo dometɔ ʋɛ aɖewo tso yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ ƒe asi me, ale be woaɖe gbeƒã woƒe ŋunyɔnuwɔnawo le dukɔ siwo me woayi. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.”
17 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
“Ame vi, nɔ ƒoƒom kpakpakpa ne èle wò abolo ɖum, eye nànɔ dzodzom nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃ ne èle wò tsi nom.
19 Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
Gblɔ na anyigba la dzi tɔwo be, ‘Esiae nye nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ tso ame siwo le Yerusalem dua me kple Israel ƒe anyigba dzi la ŋu. Woaɖu woƒe nu le dzimaɖeɖi me, eye woano woƒe tsi le dziɖeleameƒo me, elabena woaɖe nu siwo katã le anyigba la dzi ɖa le ame siwo katã le afi ma la ƒe ŋutasẽnuwo wɔwɔ ta.
20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
Du siwo me ameawo le la azu aƒedo, eye anyigba la azu gbegbe. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
21 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
“Ame vi, nu kae nye lododo sia si le mia si le Israel ƒe anyigba dzi be, ‘Ŋkekeawo le yiyim, eye ŋutega ɖe sia ɖe nye dzodzro.’
23 Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsi lododo sia nu, eye womagadoe azɔ le Israel o.’ Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ŋkeke siwo me ŋutega ɖe sia ɖe nava eme la gogo.
24 For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Elabena aʋatsoŋutegawo alo alakpanukaka la, maganɔ anyi le Israelviwo dome o.
25 For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Ke nye Yehowa magblɔ nya si magblɔ, eye wòava eme enumake. Elabena le miaƒe ŋkekewo me la, mana nya sia nya si megblɔ ɖe mi aglãdzelawo ŋu la nava eme; nenemae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ.’”
26 Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
“Ame vi, Israel ƒe aƒe la le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Ŋutega si wòkpɔna la ava eme le ƒe geɖewo megbe, eye wògblɔa nya ɖi tso ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe si gbɔna la ŋu.’
28 “Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
“Eya ta gblɔ na wo be, Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Nye nyawo dometɔ aɖeke magahe ɖe megbe azɔ o. Nya sia nya si megblɔ la ava eme.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ lae gblɔe.”
