Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I te tekau o nga tau, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau ma rua o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa; poropititia he he mona, mo Ihipa katoa hoki.
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] my own, and I have made [it] for myself.
Korero, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e Parao kingi o Ihipa, e te tarakona nui e takoto na i waenganui i ona awa; nana nei te kupu, Naku taku awa, naku ano i hanga hei mea maku.
4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales, and I will bring thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick to thy scales.
A ka maka e ahau he matau ki ou kauae, ka meinga ano e ahau nga ika o ou awa kia piri ki ou unahi; ka tangohia mai ano koe e ahau i waenganui o ou awa, me nga ika katoa o ou awa e piri ana ki ou unahi.
5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for food to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of heaven.
Ka waiho ano koe e ahau, he mea kua maka atu ki te koraha, a koe me nga ika katoa o ou awa; ka hinga koe ki runga ki te mata o te parae; e kore koe e kohikohia, e kore e huihuia: kua tukua atu koe e ahau hei kai ma te kirehe o te whenua, ma te ma nu o te rangi.
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.
A ka mohio nga tangata katoa o Ihipa ko Ihowa ahau; he kakaho hoki ratou kua waiho nei hei tokotoko mo te whare o Iharaira.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst break, and make all their loins to be at a stand.
No te hopukanga atu a to ratou ringa i a koe, whati pu koe, haea ana e koe o ratou pokohiwi katoa: i to ratou okiokinga ki runga ki a koe, whati pu koe, wiri ana i a koe o ratou hope katoa.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koe, ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te tangata me te kararehe i roto i a koe.
9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine, and I have made [it].
Ka ururuatia ano te whenua o Ihipa, ka tuheatia; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau: mona hoki i ki, Naku te awa, naku ano i hanga.
10 Behold, therefore, I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Cush.
Mo reira hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, mo ou awa, ka meinga ano e ahau te whenua o Ihipa kia ururua rawa, hei tuhea, i te taumaihi o Hewene tae noa atu ki te rohe o Etiopia.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
E kore tetahi waewae tangata e tika na reira, e kore ano te waewae kararehe e tika na reira, e wha tekau nga tau e kore ai a reira e nohoia.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that are] laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ka meinga ano e ahau te whenua o Ihipa kia tuheatia i waenganui o nga whenua tuhea, me ona pa i roto i nga pa kua urutuatia, e wha tekau nga tau e tuhea ai: ka marara ano i ahau nga Ihipiana ki roto ki nga iwi, ka titaria ki nga whenua.
13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mutunga o nga tau e wha tekau ka huihuia mai e ahau nga Ihipiana i roto i nga iwi i whakamararatia atu ai ratou.
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 habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
Ka whakahokia mai e ahau a Ihipa i te whakarau, ka whakahokia ratou ki te whenua o Patoro, ki te whenua i tupu mai ai ratou, a hei kingitanga iti ratou ki reira.
15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Ko te iti rawa ia i roto i nga kingitanga, e kore ano e neke ake i muri nei ki runga ake i nga iwi: maku hoki ratou e whakaiti, e kore ai ratou e whakahaere tikanga i roto i nga iwi.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
E kore ano e waiho hei okiokinga mo te whare o Iharaira, hei whakamahara ki te he, i a ratou ka anga nei, ka whai i a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
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 to me, saying,
Na, i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau, i te tuatahi o nga marama, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
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, for Tyre, for the service that he had served against it:
E te tama a te tangata, he nui te mahi i whakamahia ai tana ope e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki Taira: pakira katoa nga matenga, pahore katoa nga pokohiwi: kahore hoki he utu i a ia, ratou ko tana ope mo Taira, mo te mahi i mahi ai ia ki reira.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka hoatu e ahau te whenua o Ihipa ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka riro i a ia ona mano, ka pahuatia ona taonga; ka murua hoki ana mea, a ko tena hei utu ki tana ope.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labor with which he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
Kua hoatu e ahau te whenua o Ihipa ki a ia hei utu mo tana mahi i mahi ai ia; ko ta ratou hoki i mahi ai, he mea maku, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
A taua ra ka meinga e ahau he haona kia wana mo te whare o Iharaira, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he kuihitanga mo te mangai i waenganui i a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
