Jezekiel 30
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the 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 of the Lord is nigh, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of 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 And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.
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 Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.
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 And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, saith the Lord.
“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 And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:
“Woazu gbegbe le anyigba siwo wogblẽ la dome, eye woƒe duwo anɔ du siwo wogbã la dome.
8 and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.
Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne metɔ dzo Egipte, eye mefanya eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo katã.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.
“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 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,
“‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Matsrɔ̃ Egipte ameha gã la to Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia ƒe asi dzi.
11 his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with 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 And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.
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 For thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.
“‘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 And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.
Mana Egipte ƒe dzigbeme nazu gbegbe, matɔ dzo Zoan, eye mahe to na Tebes.
15 And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.
Matrɔ nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe Pelusium, Egipte ƒe mɔ sesẽtɔ la dzi, eye matsrɔ̃ Tebes ƒe amehawo.
16 And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.
Matɔ dzo Egipte; Pelusium anɔ ŋeŋem kple vevesese, ahom akplɔ Tebes adzoe, eye Memfis axaxa le nyadzɔɖeamedziwo ta.
17 The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.
Heliopolis kple Bubastis ƒe ɖekakpuiwo atsi yi nu, eye duawo me tɔwo ŋutɔ aɖe aboyo wo ɖokuiwo.
18 And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.
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 And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ale mahe to na Egipte, eye wòanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the 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 arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of 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 thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will smite down his sword out of 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 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye maka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.
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 Yea, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over 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 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye makaka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
