Ezekiel 6

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,

2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them,

“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Israel mmepɔ, na hyɛ nkɔm tia wɔn,

3 and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

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.

4 your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

Wɔbɛbubu mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ no na wɔasɛe nnuhwam adum; na mɛkunkum mo nkurɔfoɔ wɔ mo ahoni anim.

5 And I will lay the carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

Mede Israelfoɔ afunu bɛgugu wɔn ahoni anim, na mede mo nnompe apete mo afɔrebukyia ahodoɔ ho.

6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.

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.

7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Mo nkurɔfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ mo mu, na mobɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade.

8 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

“‘Nanso mɛgya mo mu bi, ɛfiri sɛ ebinom bɛdwane akofena ano wɔ ɛberɛ a moahwete wɔ nsase ne amanaman so.

9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, how that I have been broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

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.

10 And they shall know that I am the LORD: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

Wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade, na mammɔ wɔn hu kwa sɛ mede saa ɔhaw yi bɛba wɔn so.

11 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

“‘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.

12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.

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.

13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.

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.

14 And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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.’”
