Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth yeere, and in the tenth moneth in the twelfth day of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Nʼafọ nke iri, nʼọnwa nke iri, nʼụbọchị nke iri na abụọ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Sonne of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the King of Egypt, and prophecie against him, and against all Egypt.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu gị nʼIjipt buo amụma megide Fero bụ eze Ijipt, na ala Ijipt niile.
3 Speake, and say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I come against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon, that lieth in the middes of his riuers, which hath saide, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it for my selfe.
Gwa ya okwu, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: “‘Lee, mụ onwe m na-emegide gị, Fero eze Ijipt, gị onye bụ ogologo anụ ọjọọ ahụ na-amakpu nʼetiti mmiri iyi. Nʼihi na ị sịrị, “Ọ bụ m nwe Naịl, ọ bụkwa mụ onwe m mere ya nye onwe m.”
4 But I will put hookes in thy chawes, and I will cause the fish of thy riuers to sticke vnto thy scales, and I will drawe thee out of the middes of thy riuers, and all the fishe of thy riuers shall sticke vnto thy scales.
Ma aga m etinye nko nʼagba gị, mee ka azụ niile nke iyi gị niile rapara nʼakpịrịkpa gị. Aga m adọpụta gị site nʼetiti iyi gị niile, mee ka azụ niile rapara nʼakpịrịkpa gị.
5 And I will leaue thee in the wildernes, both thee and al the fish of thy riuers: thou shalt fal vpon ye open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I haue giue thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the foules of heauen.
Aga m ahapụ gị na azụ niile nke osimiri iyi gị nʼọzara, ebe ahụ ka unu ga-anọ nwụọ nʼala ubi, a gaghị eli unu eli maọbụ tụtụọ unu, nʼihi na emeela m ka unu bụrụ nri nye anụ ọhịa niile, na nnụnụ niile.
6 And al the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they haue ben a staffe of reede to the house of Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị niile bi nʼIjipt ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. “‘Ị dịrịla ka mkpanaka achara nʼebe ụlọ Izrel nọ.
7 When they tooke holde of thee with their hand, thou diddest breake, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned vpon thee, thou brakest and madest all their loynes to stand vpright.
Mgbe ha jidere gị nʼaka, ị nyajiri dọwaa ha ubu ha. Mgbe ha dabeere na gị, ị gbajiri mee ka ha ghara inwekwa ike iguzosi ike nʼụkwụ ha.
8 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will bring a sworde vpon thee, and destroy man and beast out of thee,
“‘Nʼihi ya, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Lee, aga m eme ka mma agha bịakwasị gị, aga m ebipụkwa mmadụ na anụmanụ niile dị nʼime gị.
9 And the land of Egypt shalbe desolate, and waste, and they shall know that I am ye Lord: because he hath said, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it,
Ala Ijipt ga-aghọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu; ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. “‘Nʼihi na ị sịrị, “Osimiri Naịl bụ nke m. Ọ bụ m kere ya.”
10 Behold, therefore I come vpon thee, and vpon thy riuers, and I will make the land of Egypt vtterly waste and desolate from the towre of Seueneh, euen vnto the borders of the blacke Mores.
Nʼihi ya, aga m edo onwe m megide gị, megidekwa osimiri gị. Aga m ala Ijipt niile nʼiyi site na Migdol ruo Aswan, ruokwa nʼoke ala ha na ndị Kush.
11 No foote of man shall passe by it, nor foote of beast shall passe by it, neither shall it be inhabited fourtie yeeres.
Ọ dịghị ụkwụ anụmanụ maọbụ mmadụ ga-agafe nʼime ya, agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya ruo mgbe iri afọ anọ gasịrị.
12 And I wil make the land of Egypt desolate in the middes of the countries, that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for fourtie yeeres: and I wil scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and wil disperse them through the countreis.
Aga m emekwa ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼetiti mkpọmkpọ ala niile, obodo ya niile ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu iri afọ anọ nʼetiti obodo ndị e mere ka ha laa nʼiyi. Aga m achụsasị ndị Ijipt nʼetiti mba niile, fesaa ha nʼala niile.
13 Yet thus saieth the Lord God, At the end of fourtie yeeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered,
“‘Ọzọkwa, Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, nʼọgwụgwụ iri afọ anọ ahụ, aga m achịkọtakwa ndị Ijipt site nʼebe niile ha gbasara.
14 And I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathros, into the lande of their habitation, and they shalbe there a small kingdome.
Aga m emekwa ka ndị ya niile laghachi nʼala Patros, ala ebe a mụrụ ha. Ma Ijipt agaghị abụkwa alaeze a maara nke ọma ọzọ.
15 It shall be the smallest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more aboue the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations.
Ọ ga-abụ alaeze dị nnọọ ala karịa alaeze niile. Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe ọzọ ọ ga-eweli onwe ya elu karịa mba ọzọ niile. Aga m emekwa ka ha dị nta, nke ha agaghị inwe ike achịkwa mba niile ọzọ.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their iniquitie to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they knowe, that I am the Lord God.
Ijipt agaghị abụkwara ụlọ Izrel ihe ntụkwasị obi, kama ọ ga-abụrụ ha ihe iji cheta mmehie ha mere mgbe ha lere anya enyemaka site nʼaka ya. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụOnyenwe anyị.’”
17 In the seuen and twentieth yeere also in the first moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, came the word of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Ọ ruo, nʼiri afọ abụọ na asaa, nʼọnwa mbụ, nʼụbọchị nke mbụ, ka okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
18 Sonne of man, Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel caused his armie to serue a great seruice against Tyrus: euery head was made balde, and euery shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages, nor his armie for Tyrus, for the seruice that he serued against it.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, Nebukadneza bụ eze Babilọn mere ka ndị agha ya lụsoo Taịa ọgụ nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu. Isi niile ọbụla ka e mere ka ọ kwọchasịa, ubu niile kwa echihịara echihịa. Ma ya na ndị agha ya anataghị ụgwọ ọrụ ọbụla, nʼagha ahụ o buru megide Taịa.
19 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I will giue the land of Egypt vnto Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoyle her spoyle, and take her pray, and it shall be the wages for his armie.
Nʼihi nke a, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu sị: Lee, ana m aga inye Nebukadneza eze Babilọn ala Ijipt. Ọ ga-akwakọrọ akụnụba ya, ọ ga-azacha ma bukọrọkwa ihe niile nke dị nʼala ahụ. Ha ga-abụkwa ụgwọ ọrụ nke ndị agha ya.
20 I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour, that he serued against it, because they wrought for me, sayth the Lord God.
Enyefeela m ala Ijipt nʼaka ya, ka ọ bụrụ ụgwọ ọrụ nʼihi ọrụ ya, nʼihi na ya na ndị agha ya rụụrụ m ya. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
21 In that day will I cause the horne of the house of Israel to growe, and I will giue thee an open mouth in the middes of them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka otu mpi puputara ụlọ Izrel. Aga m asaghekwa ọnụ gị nʼetiti ha. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
