Ezekiel 29
1 Odiechiengʼ mar apar gariyo, dwe mar apar, higa mar apar, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom Farao ruodh Misri kendo ikor wach kuome kaachiel gi piny Misri duto.
“Son of man, face towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and the whole of Egypt.
3 Wuo kode kendo iwachne ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “‘Adagi, in Farao ruodh Misri, ichalo gi thuond rachier modak e aore magi. In to iwacho niya, “Aora Nael en mara, mane aloso gi lweta awuon.”
Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying in your rivers, who says, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it myself.’
4 To abiro keto olowu e dhogi kendo abiro miyo rech duto manie aoreni mokie kalagaklani. Abiro goli oko e aoreni, ka rech duto omoko e kalagaklani.
I'm going to put hooks in your jaws and make the fish in your river stick to your scales. I will pull you up out of your river, and all the fish will stick to your scales.
5 Abiro boli e piny motimo ongoro, in kaachiel gi rech duto manie aoreni. Ibiro podho e dier pap alanga kendo ok nochoki kata kwanyi. Abiro chiwi kaka chiemo ne le mager mag piny kendo ne winy mafuyo e kor polo.
I will throw you and the fish away, leaving you in the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left in the open. It won't be collected or taken to be buried. I'll leave you as food for wild animals and birds of prey.
6 Eka ji duto modak Misri nongʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye. “‘Isebedo mayom yom ka odundu ni dhood Israel.
Then everyone in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. When you had to deal with the people of Israel you were like a flimsy walking stick made from a reed.
7 Kane gimaki gi lwetgi to ne ipilori mi ichwo gokgi; to kane giyiengore kuomi to ne itur ma imiyo odingʼ-gi owil.
When Israel grabbed hold of you, you split apart, damaging their shoulder. When they leaned on you, you broke, putting their backs out.
8 “‘Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro kedo kodi gi ligangla kendo abiro nego jogi gi jambgi.
So this is what the Lord God says: I will attack you with a sword and kill both people and animals.
9 Piny Misri biro dongʼ gunda mokethore maonge tich. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye. “‘Nikech ne iwacho niya, “Aora Nael en mara; ma aloso gi lweta awuon,”
Egypt will become an empty wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Because you said, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it,’
10 kuom mano, adagi kaachiel gi aoregi, kendo abiro loko piny Misri kama okethore, motwo kendo maonge tich, chakre Migdol nyaka Aswan, machop nyaka tongʼne gi Kush.
that's why I'm condemning you and your river. I will ruin Egypt, making it into an empty wasteland all the way from Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, and up to the border with Cush.
11 Onge tiend dhano kata le ma noluwe; onge ngʼama nodag kanyo kuom higni piero angʼwen.
No one, human or animal, will travel that way or live there for forty years.
12 Abiro miyo piny Misri doko piny mokethore e dier pinje mokethore, kendo mier mage madongo biro bedo kanyakla mar mier madongo ma ji odarie kuom ogendini, ka akeyogi e kind pinje.
I will make Egypt more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will lie in ruins for forty years among all the other ruined towns. I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
13 “‘Kata kamano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Bangʼ higni piero angʼwen anachok jo-Misri kagologi e pinje mane akeyogie.
However, this is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the different countries where they were scattered.
14 Abiro dwogogi kagologi e twech, mi aduokgi yo ka Malo mar Misri, e lop kweregi. Kanyo ginibedie mayom yom moloyo ogendini duto.
I will bring Egypt out of captivity and take them back to the land of Pathros, where they originally came from. Their kingdom will be insignificant.
15 Enobed pinyruoth mayom yomie moloyo pinjeruodhi duto kendo ok nochak otingʼre oyombi pinje mamoko kendo. Abiro miyo obed manyap mogik ma ok nochak obed gi loch ewi pinje mamoko.
Egypt will be the lowest of kingdoms and won't ever be more important than other nations again. I will bring Egypt down so that it won't ever be able to rule over the nations again.
16 Misri ok nochak obedi kama jo-Israel okete genogi kendo, to nobedi gima paronigi richogi sa asaya ma ginilokre ire mondo gikwae kony. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.’”
The people of Israel won't ever trust in Egypt again; instead they will be reminded them of their sin when they turned to the Egyptians for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”
17 Tarik achiel, dwe mar achiel, e higa mar piero ariyo gabiriyo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirana kama:
On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Wuod dhano, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nochoko jolwenje mondo oked matek gi piny Turo; wiyegi noluny kendo gokgi nobuth. To kata kamano en kaachiel gi jolweny mage ne ok giyudo mich moro amora kuom tijno mane otele mar kedo gi Turo.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army work really hard in the siege against Tyre. The soldiers had their hair worn off their heads, and their shoulders rubbed raw. However, he and his army didn't gain any benefit from Tyre for all the work they did in attacking it.
19 Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro chiwo Misri e lwet Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, kendo obiro tingʼo mwandune odhigo. Obiro yako kendo oketho pinyno kaka chudo mar jolweny mage.
So this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who will seize everything valuable. He will loot the country, robbing it to pay his army.
20 Asemiye Misri kaka mich kuom tichne, nikech en kod jolweny mage ne gitiyona, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
I'm rewarding him for all his work by giving him Egypt because the work they did was for me, declares the Lord God.
21 “Odiechiengno anami tungʼ moro dongi e dhood Israel, kendo anayaw dhogi e diergi. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
At that time I will give power back to the people of Israel and I will help you speak to them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
