Ezekiel 30
1 The word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 "Son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Wail, 'Alas for the day.'
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka sɛ: ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Twa adwo na ka sɛ, “Ao ɛda no!”
3 For the day is near, even the day of YHWH is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
Na ɛda no abɛn, Awurade ɛda no abɛn, omununkum ɛda, amanaman no atemmuo berɛ.
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.
Akofena bi bɛba abɛtia Misraim, na ahoyera bɛba Kus so. Sɛ apirafoɔ totɔ wɔ Misraim a wɔbɛsoa nʼahonyadeɛ akɔ na wɔabubu ne fapem agu fam.
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 ne Put, Lidia ne Arabia nyinaa, Libia ne bɔhyɛ asase no so nnipa ne Misraim bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano.
6 "Thus says YHWH: '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 YHWH.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “‘Misraim apamfoɔ bɛhwehwe ase na nʼahomasoɔ ahoɔden bɛdi no hwammɔ. Ɛfiri Migdol kɔsi Aswan wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ akofena a ɛwɔ ne mu no ano, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
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.
Wɔbɛdeda mpan wɔ nsase a ada mpan mu, na wɔn nkuropɔn bɛbubu aka nkuropɔn a abubu ho.
8 They shall know that I am YHWH, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, ɛberɛ a mede ogya ato Misraim mu na madwerɛ nʼaboafoɔ nyinaa.
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.'
“‘Saa ɛda no, asomafoɔ de ahyɛn bɛfiri me nkyɛn akɔhunahuna Kus a ne tirim yɛ no dɛ no. Ne ho bɛyera no wɔ Misraim Atemmuo da no, na ampa ara ɛbɛba mu.
10 "Thus says YHWH: 'I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mede Misraim dɔm bebrebe no bɛba awieeɛ mɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar so.
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.
Ɔno ne nʼakodɔm; amanaman no mu aniɛdenfoɔ, wɔde wɔn bɛba abɛsɛe asase no. Wɔbɛtwe wɔn akofena atia Misraim na wɔde afunu ahyɛ asase no so ma.
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, YHWH, have spoken it.'
Mɛma Nil ho asutene awewe na matɔn asase no ama nipabɔne; menam ananafoɔ so bɛsɛe asase no ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa. Me Awurade na maka.
13 "Thus says YHWH: '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.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mɛsɛe ahoni no na mede Memfis nsɛsodeɛ ahodoɔ aba awieeɛ. Misraim renya mmapɔmma bio, na mɛma ehu aba asase no so nyinaa.
14 I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
Mɛsɛe Misraim Atifi, ato Soan mu ogya na matwe Tebes aso.
15 I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Mehwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu Pɛlusum so Misraim banbɔ denden no, na matwa Tebes nnipa bebrebe no agu.
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.
Mɛto Misraim mu ogya; Pɛlusum de ɔyea bɛnukanuka ne mu. Ahum bɛbu afa Tebes so; na Memfis bɛdi abooboo ɛda biara.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
Heliopolis ne Bubastis mmeranteɛ bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano, na nkuropɔn no ankasa bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.
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.
Esum kabii bɛduru Tapanhes ɛda no, sɛ mebubu Misraim kɔnnua no a; ɛhɔ na nʼahomasoɔ ahoɔden bɛba awieeɛ. Omununkum bɛkata ne so, na ne nkuraase bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.
19 Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"
Ɛno enti mɛtwe Misraim aso, na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
20 It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Afe a ɛtɔ so dubaako no bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
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.
“Onipa ba, mabu Misraimhene Farao abasa mu. Wɔnkyekyereeɛ na atoa bio; na wɔmmfa nhyɛɛ ntoma bamma mu na anya ahoɔden a ɔde bɛsɔ akofena mu.
22 Therefore thus says YHWH: '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.
Ɛno enti, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ: Mene Misraimhene Farao anya, mɛbu nʼabasa mmienu no mu; abasa a ɛyɛ ne deɛ a emu abuo no, na mama akofena afiri ne nsam atɔ fam.
23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Mede Misraimfoɔ bɛkokɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so.
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.
Mɛhyɛ Babiloniahene basa mu den na mede mʼakofena ahyɛ ne nsa, nanso Farao deɛ, mɛbu nʼabasa mu, na wasi apinie wɔ nʼanim sɛ obi a wapira pirabɔne.
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 YHWH, 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.
Mɛma Babiloniahene abasa mu ayɛ den, nanso Farao abasa bɛdwodwo asensɛn ne ho. Sɛ mede mʼakofena hyɛ Babiloniahene nsa na ɔma so tia Misraim a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
26 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"
Mede Misraimfoɔ bɛkokɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase no so. Ɛno na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
