Jezekiel 29
1 In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Waggaa kurnaffaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, guyyaa kudha lammaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
“Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxitti garagalfadhuutii isaa fi warra Gibxi hundaan mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu.
3 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
Isatti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ati bineensi guddichi, kan lageen kee gidduu ciiftu, yaa Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi, ani sitti nan kaʼa. Ati, “Lagni Abbayyaa kan koo ti; anatu ofuma kootiif isa uummate” jetta.
4 And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
Ani garuu haʼoo kee keessa hokkoo kaaʼee akka qurxummiiwwan lageen keetii qola keetti maxxanan nan godha. Ani qurxummiiwwan qola keetti maxxanan hunda wajjinis lageen kee keessaa harkiseen si baasa.
5 and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
Siʼii fi qurxummiiwwan lageen keetii hunda gammoojjiitti nan gata. Ati dirree duwwaa irratti ni kufta; walitti hin qabamtu; hin awwaalamtus. Ani bineensota lafaatii fi allaattii samiitiif nyaata godheen si kenna.
6 And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Warri Gibxi keessa jiraatan hundis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku. “‘Ati mana Israaʼeliif ulee shambaqqoo taateerta.
7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
Yommuu isaan harkaan si qabatanitti baqaqxee gatiittii isaanii waraante; yommuu isaan sitti irkatanittis ati caccabdee akka dugdi isaanii hollatu goote.
8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
“‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani goraadee sitti fidee namoota keetii fi horii isaanii nan fixa.
9 and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
Gibxi duwwaa fi ona taati; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku. “‘Ati, “Lagni Abbayyaa kan koo ti; anatu isa uume” jetteertaatii;
10 Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
kanaafuu ani sitti kaʼeera; lageen keettis kaʼeera; biyya Gibxis Migdoolii jalqabee hamma Aswaanitti, hamma daarii Itoophiyaatti diigamtuu fi ontuu nan godha.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
Miilli namaa yookaan kotteen horii karaa sana hin darbu; namni tokko iyyuu hamma waggaa afurtamaatti ishee keessa hin jiraatu.
12 And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
Ani biyyoota onan gidduutti biyya Gibxi nan onsa; magaalaawwan ishees magaalaawwan diigaman gidduutti waggaa afurtama ni onu. Namoota Gibxi immoo saboota keessa nan faffacaasa; biyyoota keessas isaan nan bittinneessa.
13 Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations amongst whom they have been scattered;
“‘Ammas Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Dhuma waggaa afurtamaatti ani namoota Gibxi saboota isaan itti bittinneeffaman keessaa walitti nan qaba.
14 and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
Ani boojuudhaa isaan deebisee Phaxroos biyya abbootii isaaniitti isaan nan galcha. Achittis isaan mootummaa gad aanaa ni taʼu.
15 and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] amongst the nations.
Isheenis mootummoota keessaa gad aantuu ni taati; deebitees saboota kaaniin olitti gonkumaa ol of hin kaaftu. Anis akka isheen lammata saboota kaan hin bulchineef ishee nan dadhabsiisa.
16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Biyyi Gibxi siʼachi uummata Israaʼeliif irkoo hin taatu; yoo isaan gargaarsaaf gara isheetti deebiʼan garuu isheen yaadannoo cubbuu isaanii taati. Ergasii isaan akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beeku.’”
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Waggaa digdamii torbaffaatti, jiʼa tokkoffaa keessa, guyyaa tokkoffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
“Yaa ilma namaa, Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon duula jabaadhaan loltoota isaa Xiiroositti kaaseera; mataan nama hundaa molaaʼeera; gatiittiin nama hundaas luqqaʼeera. Taʼus innii fi loltoonni isaa duula jabaa Xiiroositti kaasaniin buʼaa tokko illee hin arganne.
19 Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani biyya Gibxi Nebukadnezar mootii Baabiloniif nan kenna; innis ishee boojiʼee qabeenya ishee saama. Kunis mindaa loltoota isaa taʼa.
20 In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:
Ani Gibxiin gatii dadhabbii isaa godhee isaaf kenneera; innii fi loltoonni isaa waan kana anaaf hojjetaniiruutii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
21 In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
“Ani Guyyaa sana akka manni Israaʼel gaanfa baasu nan godha; isaan gidduuttis afaan kee nan saaqa. Isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
