Ezekiel 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote m ankò e te di:
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.
“Fis a lòm, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Rele ‘Anmwey! Elas pou jou a!’
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.
Paske jou a pwòch. Menm jou SENYÈ a pwòch. Li va yon jou nwaj, yon tan fènwa pou nasyon yo.
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.
Yon nepe va rive sou Égypte e gwo doulè va rive Ethiopie, lè sila yo touye yo tonbe an Égypte. Yo va retire tout richès li yo e fondasyon li yo va fin demoli nèt.
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.”
“‘“Ethiopie, Puth, Lud, tout Arabie, Cub, ak tout moun peyi ki nan gwoup aliyans yo va tonbe ak yo pa nepe.”
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.
“‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Anverite, sila ki sipòte Égypte yo va tonbe. Ògèy a pouvwa li a va tonbe. Soti nan Migdol jis rive Syène, yo va tonbe pa nepe,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
Yo va vin dezole nan mitan peyi ki dezole yo. Konsa, vil li yo va nan mitan vil k ap devaste yo.
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].
Yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M limen dife an Égypte la, e tout sila ki te ede l yo vin kraze nèt.
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!”
“‘“Nan jou sa a, mesaje yo va ale soti devan Mwen sou bato pou entimide Ethiopie akoz lenpridans. Gwo doulè va vin sou yo menm jan ak jou Égypte la; paske gade byen, l ap vini!”
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.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Anplis Mwen va fè gwo foul lame Égypte la vin sispann pa men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan.
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.
Li menm ak pèp li a avè l, pi mechan pami nasyon yo va antre pou detwi peyi a. Yo va rale nepe yo kont Égypte, e plen peyi a ak mò yo.
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.”
Anplis, Mwen va seche kanal larivyè Nil yo, e vann peyi a pou antre nan men moun mechan yo. Mwen va fè peyi a vin dezole ak tout sa ki ladann pa men etranje yo. Mwen, SENYÈ a, fin pale.”
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.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Anplis, Mwen va detwi zidòl yo, e fè imaj yo sispann nan Noph. P ap gen prens ankò nan peyi Égypte. Mwen va mete laperèz nan peyi Égypte.
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].
Mwen va fè Pathros vin dezole, mete dife nan Tsoan, e egzekite jijman sou Nò.
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.
Mwen va vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou Sin, sitadèl a Égypte la. Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire nèt gwo foul Nò yo.
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.
Mwen va mete dife an Égypte. Sin va vin tòde ak gwo doulè. No va kraze an mòso, separe. Noph va gen brèch nèt ak gwo twoub chak jou.
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].
Jenn mesye a On ak Pi Béseth yo va tonbe pa nepe. Y ap antre an kaptivite.
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].”
Nan Tachpanès, jounen an va vin fènwa, lè M kraze jouk an fè Égypte la. Nan lè sa a, ògèy pouvwa li va sispann nan li. Yon nwaj va kouvri li, e fi li yo va antre an kaptivite.
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].’”
Konsa Mwen va egzekite jijman sou Égypte. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
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, ]
Nan onzyèm ane, nan premye mwa, nan setyèm jou nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
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.
“Fis a lòm, Mwen te kase bra Farawon an, wa Égypte la. Gade byen, li pa t velope ak pansman pou l ta geri, ni ak bandaj pou l ta ka vin gen fòs pou kenbe nepe.
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.
Konsa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen kont Farawon, wa Égypte la, e Mwen va kase bra li, ni sa ki gen fòs la ni sa ki kase deja a. Epi Mwen va fè nepe a tonbe kite men li.
23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
Mwen va gaye Ejipsyen yo pami nasyon yo e dispèse yo pami peyi yo.
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.
Paske Mwen va ranfòse men a wa Babylone nan, e mete nepe Mwen nan men l. Men Mwen va kase bra a Farawon, pou li ka vin plenyen nan gòj devan wa Babylone nan, ak plent a yon nonm ki blese jis a lamò.
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.
Konsa, Mwen va ranfòse bra a wa Babylone nan, men bra a Farawon yo va tonbe. Nan lè sa a, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M mete nepe M nan men a wa Babylone nan, e lè li lonje li kont peyi Égypte la.
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].’”
Lè Mwen gaye Ejipsyen yo pami nasyon yo, e dispèse yo pami peyi yo, alò, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
