Ezekiel 30
1 The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Wail ye, Alas for the day!
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Twa adwo na ka se, “Ao da no!”
3 For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near. It shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
Na da no abɛn, Awurade da no abɛn, omununkum da, amanaman no atemmu bere.
4 And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
Afoa bi bɛsɔre atia Misraim, na ahoyeraw bɛba Kus so. Sɛ apirafo totɔ wɔ Misraim a wɔbɛsoa nʼahonyade akɔ na wɔabubu ne fapem agu fam.
5 Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the sons of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Kus ne Put, Lidia ne Arabia nyinaa, Libia ne bɔhyɛ asase no so nnipa ne Misraim bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano.
6 Thus says Jehovah: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down. From the tower of Seveneh they shall fall in it by the sword, says the lord Jehovah.
“‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Misraim nnamfonom bɛtotɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bedi no huammɔ. Efi Migdol kosi Aswan wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa a ɛwɔ ne mu no ano, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
Wɔbɛdeda mpan wɔ nsase a ada mpan mu, na wɔn nkuropɔn bebubu aka nkuropɔn a abubu ho.
8 And they shall know at I am Jehovah when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, bere a mede ogya ato Misraim mu na madwerɛw nʼaboafo nyinaa no.
9 In that day messengers shall go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt, for, lo, it comes.
“‘Saa da no, asomafo de ahyɛn befi me nkyɛn akohunahuna Kus a ne tirim yɛ no dɛ no. Ne ho bɛyeraw no wɔ Misraim atemmuda no, na ampa ara ɛbɛba mu.
10 Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mede Misraim dɔm bebrebe no bɛba awiei mɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar so.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land. And they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
Ɔno ne nʼasraafo; amanaman no mu anuɔdenfo, wɔde wɔn bɛba abɛsɛe asase no. Wɔbɛtwe wɔn afoa atia Misraim na wɔde afunu ahyɛ asase no so ma.
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. And I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
Mɛma Nil mu nsu ayow na matɔn asase no ama nnipa bɔne; menam ananafo so bɛsɛe asase no ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa. Me Awurade na maka.
13 Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. And there shall no more be a ruler from the land of Egypt. And I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mɛsɛe ahoni no na mede Memfis nsɛsode ahorow no aba awiei. Misraim rennya mmapɔmma bio, na mɛma hu aba asase no so nyinaa.
14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No.
Mɛsɛe Misraim Atifi, ato Soan mu gya na matwe Tebes aso.
15 And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu Pɛlusum so, Misraim bammɔ dennen no, na matwa Tebes nnipa bebrebe no agu.
16 And I will set a fire in Egypt. Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up, and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.
Mɛto Misraim mu gya; Pɛlusum de ɔyaw bebubu ne mu. Ahum bebu afa Tebes so; na Memfis bedi abooboo da biara.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword, and these cities shall go into captivity.
Heliopolis ne Bubastis mmerante bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano, na nkuropɔn no ankasa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself when I shall break the yokes of Egypt there, and the pride of her power shall cease in her. As for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
Sum kabii beduru Tapanhes, da no sɛ mibubu Misraim konnua no a; hɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bɛba awiei. Omununkum bɛkata no so, na ne nkuraa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.
19 Thus I will execute judgments upon Egypt, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Ɛno nti mɛtwe Misraim aso, na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Afe a ɛto so dubaako no, ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so ason no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And, lo, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.
“Onipa ba, mabu Misraimhene Farao basa mu. Wɔnkyekyeree, na atoa bio; na wɔmfa nhyɛɛ ntama bamma mu na anya ahoɔden a ɔde beso afoa mu.
22 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. And I will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken, and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Ɛno nti, Otumfo Awurade na ose: Mene Misraimhene Farao anya; mebubu nʼabasa abien no mu; basa a eye ne nea mu abu no, na mama afoa afi ne nsam atɔ fam.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
Mɛhyɛ Babiloniahene basa mu den na mede mʼafoa ahyɛ ne nsa, nanso Farao de, mebu nʼabasa mu, na wasi apini wɔ nʼanim sɛ obi a wapira opirabɔne.
25 And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down. And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
Mɛma Babiloniahene abasa mu ayɛ den, nanso Farao abasa bedwudwo asensɛn ne ho. Sɛ mede mʼafoa hyɛ Babiloniahene nsa na ɔma so tia Misraim a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase no so. Ɛno na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
