Ezekiel 35

35 ¹Di word of our Papa come reach me:

²Pikin of man, face Mount Seir square-square and prophesy against am. ³Talk give am say: Na dis be wetin di Sovereign Papa talk: “Look, I dey against you, Mount Seir. I go stretch my hand against you and make you turn empty land wey scatter finish. ⁴I go lay your towns for ground make dem turn rubbish, and you go become empty land. Den you go know say na Me be di Papa.

⁵Because you hold old-old hatred and you hand di people of Israel give sword for di time wey trouble catch dem, for di time wey dia last punishment come,” ⁶so as I dey alive, na so di Sovereign Papa talk, I go hand you give bloodshed, and bloodshed go dey run after you. Since you no hate bloodshed, bloodshed go dey run after you. ⁷“I go make Mount Seir turn empty land wey scatter finish and I go cut off from am everybody wey dey come and dey go. ⁸I go fill im mountains with di people wey dem kill; for your hills, valleys, and all your gutter-side, di people wey sword kill go fall. ⁹I go make you empty forever; your towns no go get person inside. Den you go know say na Me be di Papa.

¹⁰Because you talk say, ‘Dis two nations, dis two lands go be my own; we go take dem’—even though our Papa dey dia,” ¹¹na dat reason, as I dey alive, na so di Sovereign Papa talk, I go treat you as your anger and jealousy deserve, wey you show for di way you hate Israel, and I go make dem know Me among Israel people wen I judge you.

¹²Den you go know say na Me be di Papa. I don hear all di bad-mouth wey you talk against di mountains of Israel: “Dem don scatter, dem don give us make we chop dem finish.” ¹³With your mouth you boast against Me and you pile plenty word against Me; I hear am. ¹⁴Na dis be wetin di Sovereign Papa talk: Wen di whole earth dey rejoice, I go make you turn empty land. ¹⁵As you rejoice because di inheritance of di house of Israel scatter finish, na so I go do you. You go turn empty land, Mount Seir, and all Edom, everything. Den dem go know say na Me be di Papa.
