Ezekiel 35
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 “Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Bepɔw Seir; hyɛ nkɔm tia no,
3 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.
na ka se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne wo anya, Bepɔw Seir, na mɛteɛ me basa atia wo na mɛma wo ada mpan.
4 I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
Mɛdan wo nkurow ama ayɛ mmubui na wobɛda mpan. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
5 For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
“‘Esiane sɛ wode tete nitan hyɛɛ wo mu na wuyii Israelfo maa afoa wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, bere a wɔn asotwe duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no
6 Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.
nti, sɛ mete ase yi de, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, mede wo bɛma mogyahwiegu na ebedi wʼakyi. Esiane sɛ woansuro mogyahwiegu no nti, mogyahwiegu bɛtaa wo.
7 And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.
Mɛma bepɔw Seir ada mpan, na mayi wɔn a wodi so akɔneaba no afi hɔ.
8 And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.
Mede atɔfo bɛhyɛ wo mmepɔw so ma; wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano bɛtotɔ ase wɔ wo nkoko so, aku mu ne wo subon mu.
9 I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
Mɛma woada mpan afebɔɔ, na obiara rentena wo nkurow so. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
10 For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.
“‘Woaka se, “Saa aman abien ne nsase yi bɛyɛ yɛn dea, na yɛbɛfa,” wɔ bere a me Awurade mete hɔ;
11 Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.
enti sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, me ne wo bedi no sɛnea abufuw ne ninkunu a wodaa no adi wɔ ɔtan a wotan wɔn no mu no te, na mɛda me ho adi wɔ wɔn mu, bere a mebu wo atɛn.
12 And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’
Afei wubehu sɛ me Awurade, mate animtiaabu nsɛm a woaka atia Israel mmepɔw no. Wokae se, “Wɔama ada mpan na wɔadan ama yɛn sɛ yɛmfa.”
13 And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.
Mohoahoaa mo ho tiaa me na mokasa tiaa me a moanto sɛbe, na metee.
14 Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.
Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Bere a wiase nyinaa redi ahurusi no, mɛma wo ada mpan.
15 Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Sɛnea wudii ahurusi bere a Israelfi agyapade daa mpan no, saa ɔkwan no na mede wo bɛfa so. Wobɛda mpan, Bepɔw Seir, wo ne Edom nyinaa. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
