Hesekiel 36
1 “Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ na ka sɛ: ‘Israel mmepɔ, montie Awurade asɛm.
Forsothe thou, sone of man, profesie on the hillis of Israel; and thou schalt seie, Hillis of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord.
2 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛe na ɔtamfoɔ no ka faa wo ho, “Ahaa! Tete sorɔnsorɔmmea no abɛyɛ yɛn dea.”’
The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that the enemy seide of you, Wel! euerlastyng hiynessis ben youun to vs in to eritage;
3 Ɛno enti, hyɛ nkɔm na ka sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ wɔasɛe mo na wɔataataa mo wɔ afa nyinaa, na ɛno enti mobɛyɛɛ aman a aka no agyapadeɛ ne ahohoradeɛ a ɛda wɔn a wɔsi wo atwetwe ano,
therefore profesie thou, and seie, The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that ye ben maad desolat, and defoulid bi cumpas, and ben maad in to eritage to othere folkis, and ye stieden on the lippe of tunge, and on the schenschipe of puple;
4 ɛno enti, Israel mmepɔ, montie Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm: Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, subɔnka ne bɔnhwa, mmubuiɛ a ada mpan ne deɛ ayɛ afo, fomfa nkuro a animguaseɛ aka wɔn wɔ aman no nkaeɛ a atwa wɔn ho ahyia no mu.
therfor, hillis of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord God. The Lord God seith these thingis to the mounteyns, and litle hillis, to strondis, and to valeis, and to peecis of wallis left, and to citees forsakun, that ben maad bare of puplis, and ben scorned of othere folkis bi cumpas;
5 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mefiri anem a emu yɛ den mu akasa atia amanaman a aka no ne Edom nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde fɛdie ne adwemmɔne ayɛ me ɔman wɔn agyapadeɛ sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi afom nʼadidibea.’
therfore the Lord God seith these thingis, For in the fier of my feruour Y spak of othere folkis, and of al Idumee, that yauen my lond in to eritage to hem silf with ioie `and al herte, and of entent, and castiden out it, to distrie it; therfor profesie thou on the erthe of Israel,
6 Ɛno enti, hyɛ nkɔm a ɛfa Israel asase ho, na ka kyerɛ mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ, subɔnhwa ne bɔnhwa sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede ninkunutweɛ mu anibereɛ kasa, ɛfiri sɛ amanaman no abu wo animtiaa.
and thou schalt seie to mounteyns, and litle hillis, to the hiynesse of hillis, and to valeis, The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that ye ben desolat, lo! Y spak in my feruour and in my strong veniaunce. For that that ye suffriden schenschipe of hethene men;
7 Enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mema me nsa so ka ntam sɛ amanaman a atwa wo ho ahyia no nso, wɔbɛbu wɔn animtiaa.
therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y reiside myn hond ayens hethene men, that ben in youre cumpas, that thei bere her schenschipe.
8 “‘Nanso mo, Israel mmepɔ, mobɛnya mman, aso aba ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛrenkyɛre wɔbɛba efie.
Forsothe, ye hillis of Israel, brynge forth youre braunchis, and bringe ye fruit to my puple Israel; for it is niy that it come.
9 Mo ho hia me na mɛhunu mo mmɔbɔ; wɔbɛfuntum mo na wɔadua mo so aba,
For lo! Y to you, and Y schal turne to you, and ye schulen be erid, and schulen take seed.
10 na mɛma wo so nnipa adɔɔso. Israel efie nyinaa mpo, nnipa bɛtena wo nkuro no so bio, na wɔbɛsisi mmubuiɛ no nso.
And in you I schal multiplie men, and al the hous of Israel; and citees schulen be enhabitid, and ruynouse thingis schulen be reparelid.
11 Israel mmepɔ, mɛma mmarima ne mmoa adɔɔso mo so na wɔbɛwowo na wɔadɔre, mɛma nnipa atena wo mu te sɛ kane no na wɔbɛma woadi yie asene kane no. Na afei mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
And Y schal fille you with men and beestis, and thei schulen be multiplied, and schulen encreesse; and Y schal make you to dwelle as at the bigynnyng, and Y schal rewarde with more goodis than ye hadden at the bigynnyng; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
12 Mɛma nkurɔfoɔ, me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ, anante wo so. Wɔbɛfa wo na wobɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ na woremma wɔnni mmakuna bio.
And Y schal brynge men on you, my puple Israel, and bi eritage thei schulen welde thee, and thou schalt be to hem in to eritage; and thou schalt no more leie to, that thou be with out hem.
13 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ nkurɔfoɔ ka kyerɛ wo sɛ, “Israel asase, wokum nnipa we na woma wo ɔman no hwere nʼadehyeɛ” enti,
The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that thei seien of you, Thou art a deuouresse of men, and stranglist thi folk;
14 worenkum nnipa nwe bio na woremma wo ɔman nhwere nʼadehyeɛ bio, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
therfor thou schalt no more ete men, and thou schalt no more sle thi folk, seith the Lord God.
15 Meremma wo nte amanaman no fɛdie bio, na worenhunu nkurɔfoɔ no animtiabuo bio, na wo ɔman nso renhwe ase bio, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.’”
And Y schal no more make herd in thee the schenschipe of hethene men, and thou schalt no more bere the schenschipe of puplis, and thou schalt no more leese thi folk, seith the Lord God.
16 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Thou,
17 “Onipa ba, ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ te wɔn ankasa asase soɔ no, wɔde wɔn abrabɔ ne wɔn nneyɛɛ guu asase no ho fi. Na wɔn abrabɔ te sɛ ɔbaa bosome nsabuo wɔ mʼani so.
sone of man, the hous of Israel dwelliden in her lond, and thei defouliden it in her weies, and in her studies; bi the vnclennesse of a womman in rotun blood the weie of hem is maad bifor me.
18 Enti mehwiee mʼabufuhyeɛ guu wɔn so ɛfiri sɛ wahwie mogya agu asase no so na wɔde wɔn abosom agu hɔ fi.
And Y schedde out myn indignacioun on hem, for blood which thei schedden on the lond, and in her idols thei defouliden it.
19 Mebɔɔ wɔn petee amanaman no so na wɔhwetee wɔn guu nsase no so; megyinaa wɔn abrabɔ ne wɔn nneyɛɛ so buu wɔn atɛn.
And Y scateride hem among hethene men, and thei weren wyndewid to londis; Y demede hem bi the weies and fyndyngis of hem.
20 Na baabiara a wɔkɔɔ wɔ amanaman mu no, wɔguu me din kronkron ho fi, ɛfiri sɛ wɔkaa wɔ wɔn ho sɛ, ‘Yeinom yɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ, nanso na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfiri nʼasase so.’
And thei entriden to hethene men, to whiche thei entriden, and defouliden myn hooli name, whanne it was seid of hem, This is the puple of the Lord, and thei yeden out of the lond of hym.
21 Me din kronkron ho hia me, deɛ Israel efie guu ho fi wɔ amanaman a wɔkɔɔ so mu no.
And Y sparide myn hooli name, which the hous of Israel hadde defoulid among hethene men, to whiche thei entriden.
22 “Ɛno enti, ka kyerɛ Israel efie sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Israel efie, ɛnyɛ mo enti na merebɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi, na mmom me din kronkron no enti, deɛ moguu ho fi wɔ amanaman a mokɔɔ so mu no.
Therfor thou schalt seie to the hous of Israel, The Lord God seith these thingis, O! ye hous of Israel, not for you Y schal do, but for myn hooli name, which ye defouliden among hethene men, to whiche ye entriden.
23 Mɛda me din kɛseyɛ no kronkronyɛ a woagu ho fi wɔ amanaman mu no adi, edin a woagu ho fi wɔ wɔn mu no. Sɛ mefa wo so da me ho adi sɛ ɔkronkronni ma wɔhunu a, afei amanaman no bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
And Y schal halewe my greet name, which is defoulid among hethene men, whiche ye defouliden in the myddis of hem; that hethene men wite, that Y am the Lord, seith the Lord of oostis, whanne Y schal be halewid in you before hem.
24 “‘Na mɛyi wo afiri amanaman no mu, mɛboaboa mo ano afiri nsase no nyinaa so de mo asane aba mo ankasa asase so.
For Y schal take awei you fro hethene men, and Y schal gadere you fro alle londis, and Y schal brynge you in to youre lond.
25 Mede nsuo korɔgyenn bɛpete mo so na mo ho ate: Mɛte mo ho afiri nkekaawa ne mo ahoni nyinaa ho.
And Y schal schede out clene watir on you, and ye schulen be clensid fro alle youre filthis; and Y schal clense you fro alle youre idols.
26 Mɛma wo akoma foforɔ na mede honhom foforɔ ahyɛ wo mu. Mɛyi akoma a ɛte sɛ ɛboɔ no afiri wo mu na mama wo akoma foforɔ a ɛte sɛ honam.
And Y schal yyue to you a newe herte, and Y schal sette a newe spirit in the myddis of you; and Y schal do awei an herte of stoon fro youre fleisch, and Y schal yyue to you an herte of fleisch,
27 Na mede me Honhom bɛhyɛ wo mu na mama woadi mʼahyɛdeɛ so na woahwɛ adi me mmara so.
and Y schal sette my spirit in the myddis of you. And Y schal make that ye go in my comaundementis, and kepe and worche my domes.
28 Mobɛtena asase a mede maa mo agyanom no so. Mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn.
And ye schulen dwelle in the lond, whiche Y yaf to youre fadris; and ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to a God to you.
29 Mɛprapra mo ho fi nyinaa. Mɛma aduane aba ama abu so na meremma ɛkɔm mma mo so.
And Y schal saue you fro alle youre filthis; and Y schal clepe wheete, and Y schal multiplie it, and Y schal not put hungur on you.
30 Mɛma nnua so aba ayɛ bebree na mfuo nso abɔ nnɔbaeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛkɔm enti mo anim rengu ase bio wɔ amanaman no mu.
And Y schal multiplie the fruyt of tree, and the seedis of the feeld, that ye bere no more the schenschipe of hungur among hethene men.
31 Afei, wobɛkae wʼakwammɔne ne wʼamumuyɛ, na wo bɔne ne akyiwadeɛ enti, wo ho bɛyɛ wo nwunu.
And ye schulen haue mynde on youre worste weies, and on studies not goode; and youre wickidnessis, and youre grete trespassis schulen displese you.
32 Mepɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛnyɛ mo enti na mereyɛ yei, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Momfɛre na momma mo ani nnwu wɔ mo abrabɔ ho, Ao Israel efie.
Not for you Y schal do, seith the Lord God, be it knowun to you; O! the hous of Israel, be ye schent, and be ye aschamed on youre weies.
33 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛda a mɛte mo ho afiri mo bɔne ho no, mɛma nnipa atena mo nkuro so bio na wɔbɛsisi mmubuiɛ no bio.
The Lord God seith these thingis, In the dai in which Y schal clense you fro alle youre wickidnessis, and Y schal make citees to be enhabitid, and Y schal reparele ruynouse thingis,
34 Asase a ada mpan no, wɔbɛdua so nneɛma na ɛrenna hɔ kwa sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ wɔ wɔn a na wɔtwam hɔ no ani soɔ no.
and the desert lond schal be tilid, that was sum tyme desolat, bifor the iyen of ech weiegoere,
35 Wɔbɛka sɛ, “Saa asase a ada mpan yi ayɛ sɛ Eden turo. Nkuropɔn a na adane mmubuiɛ, ayɛ afoafo na asɛe yi, wɔabɔ ho ban na nnipa abɛtenatena mu.”
thei schulen seie, Thilke lond vntilid is maad as a gardyn of likyng, and citees forsakun and destitute and vndur myned saten maad strong; and hethene men,
36 Afei aman a aka a atwa wo ho ahyia no bɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, makyekyere deɛ na asɛeɛ na madua wɔ deɛ na ada mpan soɔ, me Awurade na maka na mɛyɛ.’
whiche euer ben left in youre cumpas, schulen wite, that Y the Lord haue bildid distried thingis, and Y haue plauntid vntilid thingis; Y the Lord spak, and Y dide.
37 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛtie Israel efie abisadeɛ na mayɛ yei ama wɔn; Mɛma wɔn nkurɔfoɔ adɔɔso sɛ nnwan,
The Lord God seith these thingis, Yit in this thing the hous of Israel schulen fynde me, that Y do to hem; Y schal multiplie hem as the floc of men, as an hooli floc,
38 wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ nnwankuo a wɔde wɔn kɔ Yerusalem sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ afahyɛ nna. Saa ara na nnipa dodoɔ bɛhyɛ nkuropɔn a abubuo no so ma. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
as the floc of Jerusalem in the solempnytees therof, so the citees that ben forsakun, schulen be fulle of the flockis of men; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
