Ezekiel 30
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’
“Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Mifa avi, miagblɔ be, Baba na ŋkeke ma,
3 For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
elabena ŋkeke ma gogo, Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke ma tu aƒe, ŋkeke si dzi blukɔ ado, ŋkeke si ahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va dukɔwo dzi.
4 A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.
Yi aɖe atso ɖe Egipte ŋu, eye ŋɔdzi aɖo Kus. Ne ame ku le Egipte la, woalɔ Egipte ƒe kesinɔnuwo adzoe, eye woakaka eƒe gɔmeɖoɖo ƒe agunu.
5 Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various peoples, as well as Libya and the men of the covenant land, will fall with Egypt by the sword.
Kus kple Libia, Lidia kple Arabia katã, Kub kple dukɔ siwo katã me tɔwo le nubabla la me la, atsi yinu kpe ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu.’
6 For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her,
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Egipte dzi nɔlawo adze anyi, eye eƒe ŋusẽ si dzi wòdana ɖo la ayi to tso Migdol va se ɖe Aswan; woatsi yinu le eme.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe.
7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
“Woazu gbegbe le anyigba siwo wogblẽ la dome, eye woƒe duwo anɔ du siwo wogbã la dome.
8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.
Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne metɔ dzo Egipte, eye mefanya eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo katã.
9 On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.
“Gbe ma gbe la, ame dɔdɔwo atso gbɔnye anɔ tɔdziʋuwo me be woado ŋɔdzi na Kus le eƒe ɖokuiŋudzedze me. Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo wo le Egipte ƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkeke la ta, elabena ele vava ge godoo.
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
“‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Matsrɔ̃ Egipte ameha gã la to Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia ƒe asi dzi.
11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
Woakplɔ eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ, ame siwo mekpɔa nublanui na amewo le dukɔwo katã dome o la, vɛ be woagblẽ anyigba la. Woaɖe woƒe yi le aku me ɖe Egipte ŋu, eye woana ame kukuwo nayɔ anyigba la dzi.
12 I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it.
Mana Nil tɔsisi la namie, eye madzra anyigba la na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Mana amedzrowo ƒe asi nagblẽ anyigba la kple nu sia nu si le edzi. Nye, Yehowae ƒo nu.
13 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.
“‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Magbã woƒe legbawo, eye maɖe aklamakpakpɛ siwo le Memfis la ɖa. Dziɖula aɖeke maganɔ Egipte azɔ o, eye mana vɔvɔ̃ naɖo ame sia ame le anyigba la dzi.
14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
Mana Egipte ƒe dzigbeme nazu gbegbe, matɔ dzo Zoan, eye mahe to na Tebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
Matrɔ nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe Pelusium, Egipte ƒe mɔ sesẽtɔ la dzi, eye matsrɔ̃ Tebes ƒe amehawo.
16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.
Matɔ dzo Egipte; Pelusium anɔ ŋeŋem kple vevesese, ahom akplɔ Tebes adzoe, eye Memfis axaxa le nyadzɔɖeamedziwo ta.
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
Heliopolis kple Bubastis ƒe ɖekakpuiwo atsi yi nu, eye duawo me tɔwo ŋutɔ aɖe aboyo wo ɖokuiwo.
18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
Tapanhes ƒe ŋkeke ado viviti, ne mekaka Egipte ƒe kɔkuti; afi mae Egipte ƒe ŋusẽ, si dzi wòdana ɖo la, aɖo eƒe seƒe le. Lilikpo atsyɔ edzi, eye woaɖe aboyo eƒe duwo me tɔwo.
19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Ale mahe to na Egipte, eye wòanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Le ƒe wuiɖekɛlia ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.
“Ame vi, meŋe Farao, Egipte fia ƒe abɔ ɖeka. Womeblae kple avɔ wòatsya o, eye womeblae kple ati be, wòagasẽ alé yi o.
22 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Metso ɖe Farao, Egipte fia ŋu. Maŋe eƒe abɔ eveawo, eye mana yi nage le esi.
23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye maka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.
Mado ŋusẽ Babilonia fia ƒe abɔwo, eye matsɔ nye yi ade asi nɛ, ke maŋe Farao ƒe abɔwo, eye wòanɔ ŋeŋem le eŋkume abe ame si ŋu wode kubi ene.
25 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.
Mado ŋusẽ Babilonia fia ƒe abɔwo, ke Farao ya ƒe abɔwo aku ɖe eŋuti. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa, ne metsɔ nye yi de asi na Babilonia fia be woanyee le yame ɖe Egipte ŋu.
26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye makaka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
