Ezekiel 29
1 Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
I KA umi o ka makahiki, i ka umi o ka malama, i ka la umikumamalua o ka malama, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e kau e aku oe i kou maka ia Parao, i ke alii o Aigupita, a e wanana ku e ia ia, a me Aigupita a pau.
3 Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”
E olelo aku oe, e i aku, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Eia hoi, ke ku e nei au ia oe, e Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, ka moo nui e moe ana iwaena o kona mau muliwai, ka mea i olelo, No'u no kuu muliwai, na'u no ia i hana no'u.
4 But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.
E hookomo aku au i na kilou iloko o kou mau a, a e hoopili aku au i na ia o kou mau muliwai i kou mau unahi; a e lawe mai au ia oe mai waenakonu mai o kou mau muliwai, a me na ia a pau o kou mau muliwai e pili ana i kou mau unahi.
5 I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.
A e waiho aku au ia oe iloko o ka waonahele, ia oe, a me na ia a pau o ko'u mau muliwai, a e haule oe ma ka aina mawaho; aole oe e hoakoakoaia, aole hoi e houluuluia; ua haawi aku au ia oe i ai na na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa.
6 When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.
A e ike no ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Aigupita owau no Iehova, no ka mea, ua lilo lakou i kookoo ohe i ka ohana a Iseraela.
7 And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.
A i ko lakou lalau ana ia oe ma kou lima, ua uhai oe, ua wawahi hoi i ko lakou poohiwi a pau; a i ko lakou hilinai ana maluna ou, ua haki oe, a haalulu ko lakou puhaka okoa.
8 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E lawe mai au i ka pahikaua maluna ou, a e oki aku i kanaka a me ka holoholona mai ou aku nei;
9 Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”
A e neoneo aku ka aina o Aigupita e noho ole ia, a e ike lakou owau no Iehova; no ka mea, ua olelo oia, No'u no ka muliwai, a na'u no ia i hana.
10 Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.
Nolaila, ea, ke ku e nei au ia oe, a i kou muliwai; a e hooneoneo loa au i ka aina Aigupita e noho ole ia, mai ka palena o Seena a hiki i ka palena o Aitiopa.
11 For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
Aole wawae kanaka e hele mawaena ona, aole wawae holoholona e hele mawaena ona, aole hoi e nohoia a kanaha na makahiki.
12 Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].
A e haawi au i ka aina Aigupita i neoneo, iwaena o na aina neo-neo, a o kona mau kulanakauhale iwaena o na kulanakauhale i hooneoneoia, e neoneo no i na makahiki he kanaha: a e hoopuehu au i ko Aigupita iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e lulu aku au ia lakou iwaena o na aina.
13 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.
A ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; I ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanaha, e houluulu mai au i ko Aigupita, mai loko mai o na lahuikanaka kahi i puehuia lakou.
14 I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.
E hoihoi mai hoi au i ke pio ana o Aigupita, a e hoihoi mai au ia lakou e komo i ka aina o Paterosa a i ko lakou aina e noho ai; e noho lakou ilaila he aupuni haa-haa.
15 It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.
E lilo ia i haahaa loa iwaena o na aupuni, aole ia e hookiekie hou iluna o na lahuikanaka; no ka mea, e hoemi au ia lakou, aole hoi lakou e hooalii ae maluna o ko na aina.
16 [When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
Aole loa aku ia he mea hilinai no ka ohana a Iseraela, ka mea i paipai i ka manao i ko lakou hewa, i ka wa e nana ai lakou ia lakou; aka, e ike no lakou, owau no Iehova ka Haku.
17 Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:
Eia keia, i ka iwakaluakumamahiku o na makahiki, i ka malama mua, i ka la mua o ka malama, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
18 “You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hooluhi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona i kona poe koa e hana i ka hana nui ku e ia Turo; ua hooohuleia na poo a pau, a ua poholeia na poohiwi a pau; aole hoi ona uku, aole hoi o kona poe kaua, no Turo, no ka hana, ana i hana ku e aku ai ia ia.
19 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Aia hoi, e haawi aku au i ka aina Aigupita iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona; a e lawe oia i kona lehulehu, a e lawe hoi oia i kona waiwai pio, a e lawe hoi i kona waiwai kaili; a e lilo ia i uku no kona poe kaua.
20 I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].
No kana hana, aua i hana ku e aku ai ia ia, ua haawi aku au i ka aina Aigupita ia ia, no ka mea, ua hana lakou no'u, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
21 And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
Ia la no e hooopuu ae au i ka pepeiaohao o ka ohana a Iseraela, a e haawi aku au ia oe i ka oaka ana o ka waha iwaenakonu o lakou; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
