< Ezekiel 32 >

1 And it came to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Mfeɛ dumienu mu, bosome a ɛtɔ so dumienu no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 Son of man Take up a dirge over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and thou shalt say unto him. The young lion of the nations, thou didst deem thyself, - Whereas thou, wast like the crocodile in the seas, And didst cause thy streams to burst forth And didst trouble the waters with thy feet, And foul their rivers.
“Onipa ba, to kwadwom fa Misraimhene Farao ho na ka kyerɛ no sɛ: “‘Wote sɛ gyata wɔ aman no mu: wote sɛ ɛpo mu aboa a ne ho yɛ hu wobubu afuni wɔ wo asutene mu, wode wo nan boro asutene no de hono nsuo no.
3 Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Therefore will I spread over thee my net, With a gathered host of many peoples, -And they shall bring thee up in my net;
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mede nipadɔm bɛba abɛto mʼasau agu wo so, na wɔbɛtwe wo afiri mʼasau mu.
4 And I will stretch thee out on the land, Over the face of the field, will I fling thee, - And will cause to settle upon thee all the birds of the heavens, And will satiate with thee the wild beasts of all the earth;
Mɛto wo atwene asase no so na mahuri wo ato ɛserɛ so. Mɛma ewiem nnomaa nyinaa abɛsisi wo so na asase so mmoa nyinaa adi wo nam ɔherɛ so.
5 And I will lay thy flesh on the mountains, — And fill the valleys, with thy blood;
Mɛhata wo nam wɔ mmepɔ no so na mede wo funu ahyɛ mmɔnhwa ma.
6 And will soak the earth with thy blood, amongst the mountains, - And the channels shall be filled with thee.
Mede wo mogya a ɛretene no bɛfɔ asase no de akɔka mmepɔ no na wonam bɛhyɛ abɔn nketewa no ma.
7 And when I quench thee, I will cover the heavens, And obscure their stars, — The sun—with a cloud, will I cover, And the moon shall not shed her light;
Sɛ metwa wo firi hɔ a, mɛkata ɔsoro ani na madundum wɔn nsoromma; mede omununkum bɛkata owia ani, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn.
8 As for all the light-bearers in the heavens, I will obscure them over thee— And will stretch out darkness over thy land, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Ɔsoro nkanea a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa mɛma aduru sum wɔ wo so; mɛma esum aduru wʼasase, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
9 And I will aggrieve the heart of many peoples, - when I bring them who are broken off from thee among the nations, unto lands which thou hast not known.
Mɛma nnipa bebree akoma atutu ɛberɛ a mede wo sɛeɛ aba aman no mu, nsase a wonnya nhunuiɛ mu.
10 Yea I will cause amazement over thee unto many peoples And the hair of their kings shall stand on end over thee, when I brandish my sword over their faces, - And they shall tremble every moment every man for his own life, In the day of thy fall.
Mɛma nnipa bebree ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo ho, wo enti, ehu bɛma wɔn ahene ho apopo ɛberɛ a merehim mʼakofena wɔ wɔn anim. Ɛda a wobɛhwe ase no wɔn mu biara ho bɛwoso berɛ nyinaa mu wɔ wɔn nkwa enti.
11 For thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: -the sword of the king of Babylon shall reach thee.
“‘Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Babiloniahene akofena bɛsɔre wo so.
12 With the swords of mighty men, will I cause thy multitude to fall, Terrible ones of the nations all of them!-And they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, And all her multitude shall be destroyed,
Mɛma wo nipadɔm no atotɔ wɔ nnɔmmarima akofena ano, wɔ aman a wɔyɛ tutugyagu mu. Wɔbɛsɛe Misraim ahomasoɔ pasaa na ne nipadɔm no nyinaa bɛdi nkoguo.
13 And I will cause to perish all her beasts, from beside the many waters, — And the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, Nor shall hoof of beast, trouble them.
Mɛkunkum nʼanantwie nyinaa afiri nsuo bebree no ho na nnipa nan rentiatia mu bio na anantwie nan nso renhono no.
14 Then, will I make their waters subside, And, their streams—like oil, will I cause to flow, — Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
Afei mɛma ne nsuo ani ate na mama ne asutene atene sɛ ngo,
15 When I make the land of Egypt an astonishment A land laid bare of its fulness, When I cut off all that dwell therein, Then shall they know that, I am Yahweh.
Sɛ mema Misraim da mpan na meyi biribiara firi asase no so, sɛ mekum wɔn a wɔte soɔ nyinaa a, afei na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
16 A dirge, it is And they shall chant it, The daughters of the nations Shall chant it: Over Egypt and over all her multitude, Shall they chant it, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
“Yei ne kwadwom a wɔbɛto ama no. Amanaman no mmammaa bɛto ama Misraim ne ne nipadɔm nyinaa, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
17 And it came to pass in the twelfth year on the fifteenth of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Afe a ɛtɔ so dumienu no no bosome ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
18 Son of man Wail thou over the multitude of Egypt and cause it to descend—her and the daughters of the famous nations—into the earth below with them who descend into the pit.
“Onipa ba, twa adwo ma Misraim nipadɔm na ma ɔne amanaman akɛseɛ no mmammaa nsiane nkɔ asase ase nkɔka wɔn a wɔasiane kɔ amena mu no ho.
19 Than whom, art thou more precious? Descend and be laid low with the uncircumcised:
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Wadom mo dodo sene wɔn a aka no anaa? Monsiane nkɔ na mo ne momonotofoɔ no nkɔda.’
20 Into the midst of them who were thrust through by the sword, let them fall, -To the sword, hath she been delivered up, Lay ye hold of her and all her multitudes.
Wɔbɛka wɔn a wɔwuwuu wɔ akofena ano no ho. Wɔatwe akofena no, ma wɔntwe ɔno ne nipadɔm no ase nkɔ.
21 The chiefs of the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hades, with his helpers, - They have descended They have lain down. The uncircumcised! Thrust through by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
Akannifoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ damena mu bɛka wɔ Misraim ne ne mpamfoɔ ho sɛ, ‘Wɔasiane aba na wodeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔn a wɔwuwuu wɔ akofena ano no.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 There, is Assyria with all her gathered host, Round about him, are his graves, All of them thrust through, The fallen by the sword:
“Asiria ne nʼasraadɔm nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔn a wakunkum wɔn no damena atwa ne ho ahyia, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano no.
23 Whose graves have been set In the recesses of the pit, And so her gathered host is round about her grave, All of them thrust through. Fallen by the sword, Who caused terror in the land of the living.
Wɔn adamena no wɔ amena no ase tɔnn na nʼasraadɔm deda ne damena ho nyinaa. Wɔn a na wɔhunahuna afoforɔ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so no nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano.
24 There, is Persia with all her multitude, round about her grave, — All of them, thrust through The fallen by the sword Who have descended, uncircumcised into the earth below Who made themselves a terror in the land of the living, And so they have borne their confusion with them who descend into the pit:
“Elam wɔ hɔ, ne nipadɔm nyinaa atwa ne damena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa awuwu, wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔn a na wɔhunahuna afoforɔ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so nyinaa siane kɔɔ asase ase sɛ momonotofoɔ. Wɔde wɔn animguaseɛ kɔka wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no ho.
25 In the midst of them who were thrust through, have they have placed a couch for her with all her multitude, Round about it, are her graves, -All of them, uncircumcised. Thrust through with the sword. For that their terror was caused in the land of the living. And so they have borne their confusion, with them who descend into the pit, In the midst of them who were thrust through, hath it been placed.
Wɔato mpa ama no wɔ atɔfoɔ no mu, na ne nipadɔm atwa ne damena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofoɔ a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Esiane sɛ wɔn ahunahuna trɛɛ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase soɔ no enti, wɔne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no nyinaa anim agu ase. Wɔadeda wɔn wɔ atɔfoɔ no mu.
26 There, are Meshech-Tuba and all her multitude, Round about it, are her graves, — All of them uncircumcised, Who were thrust through with the sword, For that they made themselves a terror in the land of the living;
“Mesek ne Tubal wɔ hɔ a wɔn nipadɔm atwa wɔn adamena ho ahyia. Wɔn nyinaa yɛ momonotofoɔ a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano ɛfiri sɛ wɔtrɛtrɛɛ wɔn ahunahuna mu wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
27 Therefore shall they not lie with the mighty men The fallen ones from age-past times, Who descended into hades with their weapons of war And their swords were placed under their heads. But their iniquities have come upon their bones Because of the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
Ɛnyɛ wɔ ne akofoɔ momonotofoɔ foforɔ a wɔatotɔ na ɛdeda hɔ anaa? Wɔn a wɔne wɔn akodeɛ siane kɔɔ damena mu na wɔn tiri deda wɔn akofena soɔ no. Wɔn amumuyɛ so asotwe daa wɔn nnompe so, mmom saa akofoɔ yi ahunahuna atrɛtrɛ wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so. (Sheol h7585)
28 Thou, therefore in the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt be overthrown. And shalt lie low with them who were thrust through by the sword.
“Ao Farao, wo nso wɔbɛbubu wo mu na woakɔda momonotofoɔ mu, wo ne wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ akofena ano no.
29 There, are Edom her kings and all her princes, Who have been delivered up in their might. With them who were thrust through by he sword, — They with the uncircumcised, shall lie low. Even with them who descend into the pit.
“Edom wɔ hɔ, nʼahemfo ne ne mmapɔmma nyinaa deda wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ akofena ano mu, wɔn tumi nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔ ne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no.
30 There, are the princes of the North, all of them, and all the Zidonians, Who have descended with them who were thrust through. By reason of the terror they caused, of their might, are they ashamed, So they have lain down uncircumcised. With them who were thrust through by the sword, And they have bowed their confusion with them who descend into the pit.
“Mmapɔmma a wɔfiri atifi fam nyinaa ne Sidonfoɔ nyinaa wɔ hɔ, wɔ ne atɔfoɔ kɔɔ wɔ animguaseɛ mu, wɔn tumi a wɔde hunahunaeɛ no nyinaa akyi. Wɔdeda hɔ sɛ momonotofoɔ, wɔne wɔn a wɔkum wɔn wɔ akofena ano, na wɔne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no asoa wɔn animguaseɛ.
31 Them, shall Pharaoh see, and be grieved over all his multitude, — Thrust through with the sword, shall be Pharaoh and all his army! Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
“Farao, ɔne nʼasraadɔm nyinaa bɛhunu wɔn na ne werɛ bɛkyekye wɔ ne nipadɔm a wɔkunkum wɔn wɔ akofena ano no ho, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
32 For I have suffered his terror to be in the land of the living, Therefore shall be laid low In the midst of the uncircumcised With them who were thrust through by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude! Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
Mmom me na memaa Farao ne ne nipadɔm de ahunahuna trɛtrɛɛ ateasefoɔ asase so deɛ, nanso wɔbɛdeda momonotofoɔ mu, wɔn a wɔde akofena kunkumm wɔn, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
