< Ezekiel 30 >
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma sịkwa, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “‘Kwasienụ akwa ike ma sị, “Ewoo, nʼihi ụbọchị ahụ!”
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.
Nʼihi nʼụbọchị ahụ adịla nso, Ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị abịala nso, ụbọchị igwe ojii, ụbọchị ga-ewetara mba dị iche iche mbibi.
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.
Mma agha ga-abịakwasị Ijipt, ihe mgbu ga-adakwasị Kush. Mgbe ndị e gburu egbu ga-abụ aja dị nʼala, a ga-ekpokọrọkwa akụnụba ya, mebikwaa ntọala ya. Ala ya ga-abụkwa ihe e bibiri ebibi.
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.
Kush na Libiya, Lidiya na ndị Arebịa niile gwara ọgwa, Kub na ndị mba ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na Ijipt ga-eso daa site na mma agha.
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,
“‘Ọ bụ ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “‘Ndị niile na-akwagide Ijipt ga-ada, nganga niile nke ike ya ga-agwụsịkwa. Site na Migdol ruo nʼAswan, ọ bụ site na mma agha ka ha ga-ada nʼime ya. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
Ha ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, nʼetiti ala niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Obodo ha niile ga-abụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼetiti ọtụtụ obodo e bibiri ebibi.
8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tinyesịrị ọkụ nʼIjipt, mgbe m gwepịara ndị niile na-enyere ya aka.
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.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ezipu ndị ozi ndị ga-eji ụgbọ dị iche iche, ka ha gaa menye ndị Kush egwu, bụ ndị onwe ha jụrụ afọ. Oke egwu ga-ejidekwa ha nʼoge ahụ nʼihi ihe dakwasịrị Ijipt, nʼihi ihe ndị a aghaghị imezu.
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.
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Aga m esite nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn bibie igwe ndị agha Ijipt niile.
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.
Ya onwe ya na ndị agha ya, bụ mba kachasị mba niile njọ na-enweghị obi ebere, ka a ga-akpọbata ka ha bịa bibie ala ahụ. Ha ga-amịpụta mma agha ha megide Ijipt, werekwa ozu ndị e gburu egbu tụsasịa nʼala ahụ.
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.
Aga m eme ka osimiri Naịl taa. Ọ ga-aghọkwa ala kpọrọ nkụ. Aga m ewerekwa ala ahụ resi mba ndị ọjọọ. Aga m ala ala ahụ na ihe niile dị nʼime ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụkwa ndị mba ọzọ ka m ga-eji mee ya. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
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.
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘M ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mekwaa ka ihe niile a kpụrụ akpụ dị na Memfis kwụsị. Onye eze agakwaghị adị ọzọ nʼIjipt, aga m emekwa ka egwu jupụta nʼala ahụ niile.
14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
Aga m emekwa ka Patros tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Aga m etinye ọkụ na Zoan, ma taa Tibs ahụhụ.
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
M ga-awụkwasị Pelusium ọnụma m, bụ ebe siri ike nke Ijipt, m ga-ebipụkwa igwe ndị Tibs niile.
16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.
Aga m amụnye ọkụ nʼIjipt, Pelusium ga-anọ nʼoke ihe mgbu. A ga-eji ike tipịa Tibs. Memfis ga-anọgidekwa nʼọnọdụ ọjọọ ụbọchị niile.
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
Ụmụ okorobịa Heliopolis na Bubasti ga-anwụ site na mma agha. Obodo ndị a niile ga-abụkwa ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
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.
Ụbọchị ahụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị na Tapanhis mgbe m ga-agbaji yoku Ijipt, nʼebe ahụ ka mpako nke ike ya ga-agwụsị. Igwe ojii ga-ekpuchi ya, a ga-adọtakwa obodo nta ya niile nʼagha.
19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Aga m eme ka Ijipt taa ahụhụ dị ukwuu, ka ha mata nʼezie na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
O ruo, nʼafọ nke iri na otu ya, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nʼọnwa nke mbụ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
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.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, agbajiela m ogwe aka Fero, eze Ijipt. Lee, o nwebeghị onye gbara ya ọkpụkpụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ kee ya ihe, ka o sie ike ọzọ ijide mma agha.
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.
Nʼihi ya, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: Lee, mụ onwe m na-emegide Fero bụ eze Ijipt. Aga m agbaji ogwe aka ya abụọ, ma nke siri ike ma nke gbajiri agbaji na mbụ. Aga m emekwa ka mma agha ya si nʼaka ya dapụ.
23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
Aga m achụsa ndị Ijipt nʼetiti mba niile tụsaakwa ha nʼobodo niile,
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.
meekwa ka ogwe aka abụọ nke eze Babilọn sie ike. Aga m etinye mma agha m nʼaka ya, ma ogwe aka abụọ nke Fero ka m ga-agbajisi. Mgbe ahụ, Fero ga-asụ ude nʼihu eze Babilọn dịka onye e merụrụ ahụ.
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.
Aga m eme ka ogwe aka abụọ nke eze Babilọn sie ike; ma ogwe aka Fero ga-akpọnwụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tinyere mma agha nʼaka eze Babilọn, na mgbe o setịpụrụ ya imegide Ijipt.
26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
Aga m achụsa ndị Ijipt nʼetiti mba niile, fesaa ha nʼala niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
