Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
I te tekau o nga tau, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau ma rua o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt—all of it.
E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa; poropititia he he mona, mo Ihipa katoa hoki.
3 Speak, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who has said, My flood [is] my own, And I have made it [for] myself.
Korero, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e Parao kingi o Ihipa, e te tarakona nui e takoto na i waenganui i ona awa; nana nei te kupu, Naku taku awa, naku ano i hanga hei mea maku.
4 And I have put hooks in your jaws, And I have caused the fish of your floods to cleave to your scales, And I have caused you to come up from the midst of your floods, And every fish of your floods cleaves to your scales.
A ka maka e ahau he matau ki ou kauae, ka meinga ano e ahau nga ika o ou awa kia piri ki ou unahi; ka tangohia mai ano koe e ahau i waenganui o ou awa, me nga ika katoa o ou awa e piri ana ki ou unahi.
5 And I have left you in the wilderness, You and every fish of your floods, You fall on the face of the field, You are not gathered nor assembled, I have given you for food to the beast of the earth and to the bird of the heavens.
Ka waiho ano koe e ahau, he mea kua maka atu ki te koraha, a koe me nga ika katoa o ou awa; ka hinga koe ki runga ki te mata o te parae; e kore koe e kohikohia, e kore e huihuia: kua tukua atu koe e ahau hei kai ma te kirehe o te whenua, ma te ma nu o te rangi.
6 And all inhabitants of Egypt have known That I [am] YHWH, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
A ka mohio nga tangata katoa o Ihipa ko Ihowa ahau; he kakaho hoki ratou kua waiho nei hei tokotoko mo te whare o Iharaira.
7 In their taking hold of you by your hand, You crush and have torn every shoulder of theirs, And in their leaning on you you are broken, And have caused all their thighs to stand.
No te hopukanga atu a to ratou ringa i a koe, whati pu koe, haea ana e koe o ratou pokohiwi katoa: i to ratou okiokinga ki runga ki a koe, whati pu koe, wiri ana i a koe o ratou hope katoa.
8 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in a sword against you, And have cut off man and beast from you.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koe, ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te tangata me te kararehe i roto i a koe.
9 And the land of Egypt has been for a desolation and a ruin, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].
Ka ururuatia ano te whenua o Ihipa, ka tuheatia; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau: mona hoki i ki, Naku te awa, naku ano i hanga.
10 Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, and against your floods, And have given the land of Egypt for ruins, A dry place, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And to the border of Cush.
Mo reira hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, mo ou awa, ka meinga ano e ahau te whenua o Ihipa kia ururua rawa, hei tuhea, i te taumaihi o Hewene tae noa atu ki te rohe o Etiopia.
11 A foot of man does not pass over into it, Indeed, the foot of beast does not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.
E kore tetahi waewae tangata e tika na reira, e kore ano te waewae kararehe e tika na reira, e wha tekau nga tau e kore ai a reira e nohoia.
12 And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste, Are a desolation [for] forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.
Ka meinga ano e ahau te whenua o Ihipa kia tuheatia i waenganui o nga whenua tuhea, me ona pa i roto i nga pa kua urutuatia, e wha tekau nga tau e tuhea ai: ka marara ano i ahau nga Ihipiana ki roto ki nga iwi, ka titaria ki nga whenua.
13 But thus said Lord YHWH: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples to where they have been scattered,
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mutunga o nga tau e wha tekau ka huihuia mai e ahau nga Ihipiana i roto i nga iwi i whakamararatia atu ai ratou.
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been a low kingdom there.
Ka whakahokia mai e ahau a Ihipa i te whakarau, ka whakahokia ratou ki te whenua o Patoro, ki te whenua i tupu mai ai ratou, a hei kingitanga iti ratou ki reira.
15 It is lowest of the kingdoms, And it does not lift itself up above the nations anymore, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.
Ko te iti rawa ia i roto i nga kingitanga, e kore ano e neke ake i muri nei ki runga ake i nga iwi: maku hoki ratou e whakaiti, e kore ai ratou e whakahaere tikanga i roto i nga iwi.
16 And it is no longer for confidence to the house of Israel, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
E kore ano e waiho hei okiokinga mo te whare o Iharaira, hei whakamahara ki te he, i a ratou ka anga nei, ka whai i a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
17 And it comes to pass, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Na, i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau, i te tuatahi o nga marama, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Has caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald—every shoulder peeled, And neither he, nor his force, had reward out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.
E te tama a te tangata, he nui te mahi i whakamahia ai tana ope e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki Taira: pakira katoa nga matenga, pahore katoa nga pokohiwi: kahore hoki he utu i a ia, ratou ko tana ope mo Taira, mo te mahi i mahi ai ia ki reira.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And he has taken away its store, And has taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it has been a reward to his force.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka hoatu e ahau te whenua o Ihipa ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka riro i a ia ona mano, ka pahuatia ona taonga; ka murua hoki ana mea, a ko tena hei utu ki tana ope.
20 I have given to him his wage for which he labored—The land of Egypt, in that they worked for Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Kua hoatu e ahau te whenua o Ihipa ki a ia hei utu mo tana mahi i mahi ai ia; ko ta ratou hoki i mahi ai, he mea maku, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
21 In that day I cause a horn to shoot up for the house of Israel, And I give an opening to your mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
A taua ra ka meinga e ahau he haona kia wana mo te whare o Iharaira, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he kuihitanga mo te mangai i waenganui i a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
