Ezekiel 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 “You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
“Wuod dhano, kor wach ni, ‘An Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: “‘Ywaguru kendo uwach niya, “Mano kaka masira maduongʼ nobed chiengʼno!”
3 That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
Nimar odiechiengno osudo machiegni, adier odiechiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye chiegni; enobed odiechiengʼ ma piny dudoe, ma en kinde mar masira ne ogendini.
4 [An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
Lweny nobed e piny Misri kendo Kush nobed gi rem malit. Ji notho e piny Misri, to mwandugi noyaki, kendo mise mag-gi nomuki.
5 [Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
Kush gi Put, gi Lidia gi Arabia duto; kod Libya gi jopiny singruok bende nopodhi e dho ligangla kaachiel gi Misri.
6 This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
“‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Jokor Misri nopodhi kendo tekone mosungorego norem. Chakre Migdol nyaka Aswan Ginipodhi duto e dho ligangla manie diergi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
Ginidongʼ gunda, e kind pinje modongʼ gunda, kendo miechgi madongo nokethre e kind mier madongo mokethore.
8 Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Eka kinde ma anatiek Misri gi mach, kendo aneg joma konye, eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
9 At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
“‘E odiechiengno joote nodhi koa ira e yiedhi mondo obwog jo-Kush modak kodhialore. Achiedh-nade nomakgi chiengʼ mikethoe Misri, nikech gino biro timore adier.
10 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
“‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “‘Abiro keto giko mar oganda maduongʼ mar jo-Misri ka atiyo gi lwet Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon.
11 Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
En kaachiel gi jolweny mage, ma gin joma mirimbgi ger moloyo ogendini duto, nokel mondo otiek ji e pinyno. Giniked gi jo-Misri kendo piny nopongʼ gi joma onegi.
12 I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
Abiro miyo aore mag Nael dwon, kendo abiro jwangʼo pinyno e lwet joma richo. Abiro loko piny gunda, kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie iye ka atiyo gi lwet ogendini mamoko. An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho.
13 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
“‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “‘Abiro ketho nyiseche ma dhano oloso kendo abiro tieko kido molosi man Memfis. Onge ruoth ma nobed gi loch e piny Misri, kendo abiro miyo luoro landre e pinyno duto.
14 I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
Abiro miyo yo ka Malo mar Misri doko gunda, Zoan to abiro chinyoe mach, to Thebes to abiro kumo.
15 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
Abiro olo mirimba mager kuom Pelusiuma en kar konyruok mar Misri, kendo abiro tieko oganda maduongʼ modak Thebes.
16 I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
Abiro moko mach kuom Misri; to Pelusiuma biro bedo gi rem malit. Koth maduongʼ nochwe Thebes mamuk ohinga mare; to Memfis biro bedo gi chandruok ma ok rum.
17 [Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
Yawuowi matindo mag Heliopolis gi Bubastis notieki gi ligangla, kendo mier madongo nomaki ma ter e twech.
18 It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
Odiechiengno nolokre mudho ni dala mar Tapanhes, ka aturo jok mar jo-Misri; kendo kanyo ema tekone mosungorego nochop e giko. Ibiro ume gi boche polo, kendo mier mage matindo nomaki ma ter e twech.
19 That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Kamano e kaka abiro kumo jo-Misri, mi giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
20 Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Chiengʼ mar abiriyo, dwe mar achiel, e higa mar apar gachiel, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
21 “You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
“Wuod dhano, aseturo bad Farao ruodh Misri. Ok osemake mondo ochangi, kata riech pok orieye gi bepe mondo obed motegno, manyalo mako ligangla.
22 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Adagi Farao ruodh Misri. Abiro turo bedege ariyo duto, bade ma pod ngima gi bade mosetur, kendo abiro miyo ligangla lwar koa e lwete.
23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
Abiro keyo jo-Misri e dier ogendini bende anami gikeree e kind pinje.
24 [It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
Abiro jiwo bede ruodh Babulon kendo abiro keto liganglana e lwete, to abiro turo bede Farao, kendo obiro chur e nyime ka ngʼat mohinyore marach machiegni tho.
25 I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
Abiro jiwo bede ruodh Babulon, to bede Farao thudhno biro mako. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka anaket liganglana e lwet ruodh Babulon mi omonjgo jo-Misri.
26 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
Abiro keyo jo-Misri e dier ogendini bende anami gikeree e kind pinje. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
