Isigiele 29
1 Eso fago amola oubi nabu amola ninia mugululi misi ode nabu, amoga Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
2 “Dunu egefe! Idibidi hina bagade ema se ima: ne, mimogoa fofada: ma! E amola Idibidi fi huluane da se bidi iasu lama: ne sia: ma.
“You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
3 Ema, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Idibidi hina bagade amane sia: sa, adosima, ‘Di, hanome bagadedafa, hanoa dialebe! Na da dia ha lai! Di da Naile Hano da dia: , amola dia amo hamoi sia: sa.
Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”
4 Be Na da dia magado ma: goga hiougimu. Amola menabo dia hano ganodini fi, dima madelagima: mu. Amasea, Na da di Naile Hano ganodi dialu amola menabo huluane dima madelagi, amo bia hiougili gadomu.
But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.
5 Na da di amola menabo huluane, hafoga: i sogega galagamu. Dia da: i hodo osoboga galagale, hame uli dogoi ba: mu. Na da amo sio amola ohe fi iligili moma: ne imunu.
I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.
6 Amasea, Idibidi dunu huluane ilia da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu. Isala: ili fi dunu da dilia Idibidi dunu amo ili fuligala: mu dawa: i galu. Be di da gasa hame ifa daba: agoai ba: i.
When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.
7 Ilia da dima baligisia ganoba, di da fili sa: ili, ilia ogoleba sone, ilia baligi fili gala: i.
And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.
8 Wali, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da dima sia: sa. Na da dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguiwane dima doagala: musa: , dima asunasimu. Ilia da dia dunu amola ohe huluane medole legemu.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
9 Idibidi soge da dunu hulu hagia: le, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, di da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu.
Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”
10 Di da Naile Hano da dia: , amola di da amo hamoi sia: beba: le, Na da di amola dia Naile Hano amoma ha lai gala. Na da Idibidi soge huluane, Migidole moilai bai bagade ga (north) gala amoganini asili Asawane moilai bai bagade ga (south) gala, amonini asili Sudane fi alalo defei doaga: sa, amo dogoa huluane dunu hulu hagia: le, wadela: lesimu.
Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.
11 Dunu fi amola ohe fi ilia amodili mae asili galea, ode 40 da gidigili baligimu.
For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
12 Na da Idibidi soge wadela: lesisia, amo soge ea wadela: su da soge huluane osobo bagadega gala, amo ilia wadela: su baligi dagoi ba: mu. Ode 40 amoga Idibidi soge moilai bai bagade huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi, eno moilai huluane ilia wadela: su bagade baligiwane dialumu. Na hamobeba: le, Idibidi dunu da gegesu amoga hobeale lasu dunu ba: mu. Ilia da fifi asi gala eno huluane amoga hobeale, amo fi ganodini esalumu.”
Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].
13 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ode 40 amo gidigili, Na da Idibidi fi dunu soge fifi asi enoga afagogolesi amo bu sinidigili oule misunu.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 Amola Na da ili ga (south), musa: ili fifi lalusu amogawi fifi lama: mu. Amo ganodini ilia da gasa hamedene fifi lalumu.
I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.
15 Ilia da gasa hamedeiba: le, eno fifi asi gala da ilia gasa baligimu. Amola ilia da eno fifi asi gala ouligimu hamedei ba: mu. Na da ili gasa hamedene hamobeba: le, ilia da eno fifi asi gala sesemu da hamedei ba: mu.
It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.
16 Isala: ili da ili fidima: ne, Idibidi dunu ilima bu hame adole ba: mu. Isala: ili da Idibidi amoga doaga: i hou ba: beba: le, ilia da ilima fidimusa: adole ba: beba: le da giadofai noga: le dawa: mu. Amasea, Isala: ili fi ilia da Na da Ouligisu Hina Gode dawa: mu.”
[When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
17 Eso age, amola oubi age, amola ode 27 ninia mugululi misi amoga, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:
18 “Dunu egefe! Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Daia amoma doagala: i. E da ea dadi gagui dunu ilima dioi gasa bagade liligi gisima: ne, ilima i. Amalalu ilia dialuma da gianai agoane ba: i, amola ilia gidagi da gadofo houga: lesi ba: i. Be Ba: bilone hina bagade amola dadi gagui dunu, ilia da amo hawa: hamobega dabe liligi afae hame lai.
“You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].
19 Amaiba: le, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa, ‘Na da Idibidi soge amo, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ema iagamu. E da amoma doagala: le, Idibidi muni huluane gegenana lale, amo muni ea dadi gagui dunu ilima ilia bidi imunu.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
20 E da Na hawa: hamobeba: le, Na da Idibidi soge ea hawa: hamosu bidi agoane, ema imunu. Na, Ouligisu Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].
21 Amo hou da doaga: sea, Na da Isala: ili dunu ilima gasa bu imunu. Amola, di Isigiele, di da dunu huluane nabima: ne sia: musa: , Isala: ili dunu da Na da Hina Gode dawa: ma: ne, Na da dia logo doasimu.”
And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
