< Ezekiel 30 >
1 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ
2 “Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro, uuge atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Girĩkai, muuge atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũthenya ũcio ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ!”
3 The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, mũthenya ũrĩ na matu, mũthenya ũrĩ na mũthiro harĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
4 A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.
Rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũgookĩrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, naruo ruo rwa ngoro rũkinyĩrĩre Kushi. Rĩrĩa arĩa moragĩtwo makaagũa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, ũtonga wakuo nĩũgakuuo, nayo mĩthingi yakuo ĩmomorwo.
5 Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.
Andũ a Kushi na Putu, na Ludu, na Arabia guothe, na Lubia, na andũ a bũrũri wa kĩrĩkanĩro, makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora marĩ hamwe na andũ a Misiri.
6 This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
“‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Arata a Misiri nĩmakooragwo, naguo hinya wake ũrĩa etĩĩaga naguo nĩũgaathira. Kuuma Migidoli o nginya Aswani, makooragĩrwo kuo thĩinĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
7 Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.
“‘Nĩmagakira ihooru, marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mabũrũri marĩa manangĩtwo, magakira ihooru, namo matũũra mao manene magaakorwo marĩ thĩinĩ wa matũũra manene marĩa manangĩku.
8 Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaacina bũrũri wa Misiri na mwaki, nao arĩa othe maamateithagia mahehenjwo.
9 At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!
“‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngatũma andũ moime harĩ niĩ marĩ na marikabu, mathiĩ makahahũre andũ a Kushi, moime mwĩcaaro-inĩ wao. Nĩmakanyiitwo nĩ ruo rwa ngoro mũthenya ũcio bũrũri wa Misiri ũkaaniinwo, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ nĩũgakinya.
10 This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩnganiina kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Misiri, hũthĩrĩte guoko kwa Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
11 He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.
We na mbũtũ ciake cia ita, o mbũtũ icio ikĩrĩtie ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe kwaga tha, nĩcio ikaarehwo, iniine bũrũri ũcio. Nĩigacomora hiũ ciao cia njora, ciũkĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri na ciyũrie bũrũri ũcio andũ arĩa moragĩtwo.
12 I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.
Nĩngatũma tũrũũĩ tuothe twa Rũũĩ rwa Nili tũhwe, naguo bũrũri ũcio ndĩwenderie andũ aaganu; ngaawananga na moko ma andũ a kũngĩ, guo mwene, o hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie.
13 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩngathũkangia ngai cia mĩhianano na niine mĩhiano ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Nofu. Gũtigacooka kũgĩa mũthamaki kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩngaiyũria bũrũri ũcio wothe guoya.
14 I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.
O nakuo Pathirosi nĩngakwananga, na ngwatie mwaki kũu Zoani, o na herithanie kũu Thebesi.
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.
O nakuo Pelusiumu nĩngagũitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, o kũu kĩĩgitĩro kĩa hinya kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, na njeherie kĩrĩndĩ gĩa kũu Thebesi.
16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.
Nĩngagwatia mwaki kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nakuo Pelusiumu nĩgũkeehũũrithania nĩ ruo. Thebesi nĩgũgatharĩkĩrwo. Nofu nĩgũgakorwo na mĩnyamaro ĩtegũtigithĩria.
17 The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.
Aanake a Heliopoli na a Bubasiti makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao andũ a matũũra macio manene matahwo.
18 It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.
Mũthenya nĩũkagĩa nduma kũu Tehafunehasu rĩrĩa ngoinanga icooki rĩa Misiri; kũu nĩkuo hinya wake ũcio etĩĩaga naguo ũgaathirĩra. Nĩakahumbĩrwo nĩ matu, namo matũũra make nĩmagatahwo.
19 This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngaherithia bũrũri wa Misiri, nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
20 On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mũgwanja wa mweri wa mbere, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩnyunĩte guoko kwa Firaũni, mũthamaki wa Misiri. Gũtiohetwo na taama ũrĩ na ndawa nĩguo kũhone, kana gũkoohanio na mĩtĩ nĩguo kũgwate kũgĩe na hinya wa kuoya rũhiũ rwa njora.
22 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Niĩ nĩngũũkĩrĩra Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩngũmuuna moko meerĩ, kũrĩa kũgima na kũrĩa kuunĩku, na ndũme rũhiũ rwa njora ruume guoko-inĩ gwake rũgwe thĩ.
23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
Nĩngahurunja andũ a Misiri ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
24 I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.
Nĩngekĩra moko ma mũthamaki wa Babuloni hinya, na ndĩmũnengere rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora arũnyiite na guoko, no nĩngoina moko ma Firaũni, nake acaaĩre hau mbere yake, o ta mũndũ ũgurarĩtio nguraro ya gĩkuũ.
25 I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.
Nĩngekĩra moko ma mũthamaki wa Babuloni hinya, no moko ma Firaũni nĩmakaaga hinya. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaanengera mũthamaki wa Babuloni rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora arũnyiite na guoko, nake arũhiũrie okĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri.
26 When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
Nĩngahurunja andũ a Misiri ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
