Ezekiel 29

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe taʻu, mo hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea mo hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo pehē,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kikite kiate ia, pea mo ʻIsipite kātoa.

3 speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

Lea, pea ke pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe, ʻe Felo, tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻa koe ko e kalokataile ʻoku tokoto ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ngaahi vaitafe, ʻa koe kuo ke pehē, ‘Ko hoku vaitafe ʻoku ʻoʻoku pe ia, pea kuo u ngaohi ia kiate au pē.’

4 And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy scales.

Ka te u ʻai ʻeau ʻae mātaʻu ʻi ho ngutu, pea te u pule ki he ika kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi vaitafe, ke nau pipiki ki ho ʻuno, pea te u fusi hake koe mei he loto vaitafe, pea ʻe pipiki ki ho ʻuno ʻae ika kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi vaitafe.

5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven,

Pea te u tuku siʻaki pe koe ki he toafa, ʻa koe mo e ika kotoa pē ʻo ho ngaahi vaitafe: te ke tō atu ki he ʻatā ʻoe ngaahi potu ngoue; pea ʻe ʻikai toe fakamaʻopo koe pe tānaki: kuo u foaki koe ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe vao, pea mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi.

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo nau tatau pe mo e vaʻa kaho ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.

7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

‌ʻI heʻenau puke koe ʻi honau nima naʻa ke mafesi, pea makohikohi ai honau nima kotoa pē: pea ʻi heʻenau faʻaki kiate koe naʻa ke fasi, pea fakahomohomo ai honau hokotanga hui kotoa pē.”

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate koe pea tuʻusi meiate koe ʻae tangata pea mo e manu.

9 And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

Pea ʻe lala mo vaoa ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo ne pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻae vaitafe, pea kuo u ngaohi ia ʻeau.

10 therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia.

Vakai, ko ia ia ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, pea mo ho ngaahi vaitafe, pea te u ngaohi ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite ke lala ʻaupito mo vaoa mei Mikitoli mo Saiini ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻItiopea.

11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

‌ʻE ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha vaʻe ʻo ha tangata, pe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ha vaʻe ʻo ha manu, pea ʻe ʻikai hano kakai ʻi ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

12 And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

Pea te u ngaohi ke lala ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi fonua kuo lala, pea ko ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi kolo kuo lala ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu: pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.

13 For thus saith the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered:

Ka ko eni, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻI he hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, te u tānaki ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mei he ngaahi potu naʻe fakahēʻi ki ai ʻakinautolu.

14 and I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

Pea te u toe liliu mai ʻae pōpula ʻo ʻIsipite, pea te u pule ke nau toe haʻu ki he fonua ko Patalosi, ki he fonua ʻo honau nofoʻanga; ka te nau ʻi ai ko e puleʻanga moʻulaloa.

15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

‌ʻE māʻulalo hifo ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe hiki hake ia ʻe ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; he te u ngaohi ke fakaʻaʻau ki mui ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe pule ia ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.

16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ia ko e falalaʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ka nau ka sio ki ai te nau manatuʻi ʻenau hia: ka te nau ʻilo au, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it:

“Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe pule ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki heʻene kautau, ke nau fai ʻae ngāue lahi ki Taia: naʻe tula ai ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea mafohi ai ʻae uma kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai haʻane totongi ʻaʻana, pe ko ʻene kautau, koeʻuhi ko Taia, mo e ngāue lahi naʻa ne fai ki ai:

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Vakai, te u foaki ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te ne maʻu hono kakai, pea maʻu hono koloa, pea veteki ia; pea ko e totongi ia ki heʻene kautau.

20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompence for which he served, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

Kuo u foaki kiate ia ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue ʻaia naʻa ne fai ki ai, he naʻa nau fai ia maʻaku, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

21 In that day will I cause an horn to bud forth unto the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ke tupu ʻae moto ʻoe nifo ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te u tuku ke faʻa matoʻo ai ho ngutu ʻiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
