Ezekiel 30
1 The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 "Son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Wail, 'Alas for 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 is near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time 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 A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
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 Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword."'
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 "Thus says Jehovah: 'They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword,' says Jehovah.
“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 'They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
“Woazu gbegbe le anyigba siwo wogblẽ la dome, eye woƒe duwo anɔ du siwo wogbã la dome.
8 They shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne metɔ dzo Egipte, eye mefanya eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo katã.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, look, 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 says Jehovah: 'I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
“‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Matsrɔ̃ Egipte ameha gã la to Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia ƒe asi dzi.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the 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 I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.'
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 "Thus says Jehovah: 'I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
“‘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 I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
Mana Egipte ƒe dzigbeme nazu gbegbe, matɔ dzo Zoan, eye mahe to na Tebes.
15 I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Matrɔ nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe Pelusium, Egipte ƒe mɔ sesẽtɔ la dzi, eye matsrɔ̃ Tebes ƒe amehawo.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.
Matɔ dzo Egipte; Pelusium anɔ ŋeŋem kple vevesese, ahom akplɔ Tebes adzoe, eye Memfis axaxa le nyadzɔɖeamedziwo ta.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
Heliopolis kple Bubastis ƒe ɖekakpuiwo atsi yi nu, eye duawo me tɔwo ŋutɔ aɖe aboyo wo ɖokuiwo.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
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 Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
Ale mahe to na Egipte, eye wòanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
20 It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah 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 arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and look, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold 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 says Jehovah: 'Look, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall 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 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye maka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
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 I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on 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 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye makaka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
