Ezekiel 30

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Tangi kalanga, ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē ʻae ʻaho!

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.

He kuo ofi mai ʻae ʻaho, ʻio, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻaho fakapoʻupoʻuli ko e kuonga ia ki he hiteni.

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.

‌ʻE hoko mai ʻae heletā ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ai ʻae mamahi lahi ʻi ʻItiopea, ʻoka tō hifo ʻae kakai mate ʻi ʻIsipite, pea te nau ʻave hono kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.

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.

“Pea ʻe hinga fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he heletā ʻa ʻItiopea, mo Lipea, mo Litea, pea mo e kakai muli kehekehe, mo Kupa, mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻoku nau kau taha.”

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,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE hinga foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni ki ʻIsipite; pea ʻe fakatōkilalo ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻene mālohi: te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻi ai ʻo fai mai mei he fale leʻo māʻolunga ʻo Saiini, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.

Pea te nau lala, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi fonua ʻoku lala, pea ko hono ngaahi kolo ʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ia ʻoe ngaahi kolo kuo fakaʻauha.

8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.

Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka tutu ʻae afi ʻi ʻIsipite, pea ʻoka fakaʻauha ʻa hono kau tokoni kotoa pē.

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.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u fekau atu meiate au ʻae ngaahi vaka ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kau ʻItiopea ʻoku fakafiemālie, pea ʻe hoko ʻae mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu, ʻo tatau mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻIsipite: he vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia.”

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.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fakaʻosi ʻa hono tokolahi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻe he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

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.

‌ʻE ʻomi ia, pea mo ʻene kakai mo ia, ʻae kau toʻa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ke nau fakaʻauha ʻae fonua: pea te nau toho ʻenau heletā ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he kakai mate tāmateʻi.

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.

Pea te u fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi vai, pea te u fakatau atu ʻae fonua ki he nima ʻoe angakovi: pea te u ngaohi ke lala, ʻae fonua, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻi he nima ʻoe kau muli: ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.”

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.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fakaʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea te u fakaʻosi meia Nofe ʻae ngaahi fakatātā; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha tuʻi ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite: pea te u ʻai ha manavahē ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.

Pea te u ngaohi ke lala ʻa Patalosi, pea te u fakatupu ʻae afi ʻi Soani, pea te u fai ʻae tautea ʻi Nō.

15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

Pea te u lilingi hoku houhau ki Pelusiumi ko e mālohi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea te u motuhi ʻae tokolahi ʻi Nō.

16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.

Pea te u tuku ʻae afi ʻi ʻIsipite: ʻe mamahi lahi ʻa Pelusiumi, pea ʻe hae ua ʻa No, pea ʻe mamahiʻia ʻa Nofe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.

‌ʻE tō hifo ʻi he heletā ʻae kau talavou ʻo ʻAveni, pea mo Pupasite: pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo kolo ko ia ki he pōpula.

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.

‌ʻE fakapoʻuliʻi foki ʻae ʻaho ʻi Tafanisi, ʻo kau ka maumauʻi ʻi ai ʻae haʻamonga ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ʻe ngata meiate ia ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻene mālohi: pea koeʻuhi ko ia ʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae ʻao, pea ʻe ʻalu ki he pōpula ʻa ʻene fānau fefine.

19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

‌ʻE pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ki ʻIsipite: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”

20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, pea mo hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

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.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo u fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea vakai, ʻe ʻikai nonoʻo ia ke fakamoʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai lafosi ia ke toe mālohi ke puke ha heletā.

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.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ma fai mo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea te u fesiʻi hono nima, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea mo ia kuo mafesi; pea te u fakahomo ʻae heletā mei hono nima.

23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

Pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.

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.

Pea te u fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te u ʻai ʻeku heletā ki hono nima: ka te u fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻo Felo, pea te ne toʻe ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e toʻe ʻo ha tangata kuo lavea ke mate.

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.

Ka te u fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe tō hifo ki lalo ʻae nima ʻo Felo; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka ʻai ʻeku heletā ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne mafao atu ia ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

Pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
