Ezekiel 30
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
2 'Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day!
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka sɛ: ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Twa adwo na ka sɛ, “Ao ɛda no!”
3 For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of clouds, the time of nations it is.
Na ɛda no abɛn, Awurade ɛda no abɛn, omununkum ɛda, amanaman no atemmuo berɛ.
4 And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations.
Akofena bi bɛba abɛtia Misraim, na ahoyera bɛba Kus so. Sɛ apirafoɔ totɔ wɔ Misraim a wɔbɛsoa nʼahonyadeɛ akɔ na wɔabubu ne fapem agu fam.
5 Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do fall,
Kus ne Put, Lidia ne Arabia nyinaa, Libia ne bɔhyɛ asase no so nnipa ne Misraim bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano.
6 Thus said Jehovah: And — fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “‘Misraim apamfoɔ bɛhwehwe ase na nʼahomasoɔ ahoɔden bɛdi no hwammɔ. Ɛfiri Migdol kɔsi Aswan wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ akofena a ɛwɔ ne mu no ano, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
7 And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of wasted cities.
Wɔbɛdeda mpan wɔ nsase a ada mpan mu, na wɔn nkuropɔn bɛbubu aka nkuropɔn a abubu ho.
8 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers.
Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no, ɛberɛ a mede ogya ato Misraim mu na madwerɛ nʼaboafoɔ nyinaa.
9 In that day go forth do messengers from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come.
“‘Saa ɛda no, asomafoɔ de ahyɛn bɛfiri me nkyɛn akɔhunahuna Kus a ne tirim yɛ no dɛ no. Ne ho bɛyera no wɔ Misraim Atemmuo da no, na ampa ara ɛbɛba mu.
10 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mede Misraim dɔm bebrebe no bɛba awieeɛ mɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar so.
11 He and his people with him — the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
Ɔno ne nʼakodɔm; amanaman no mu aniɛdenfoɔ, wɔde wɔn bɛba abɛsɛe asase no. Wɔbɛtwe wɔn akofena atia Misraim na wɔde afunu ahyɛ asase no so ma.
12 And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Mɛma Nil ho asutene awewe na matɔn asase no ama nipabɔne; menam ananafoɔ so bɛsɛe asase no ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa. Me Awurade na maka.
13 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And — I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mɛsɛe ahoni no na mede Memfis nsɛsodeɛ ahodoɔ aba awieeɛ. Misraim renya mmapɔmma bio, na mɛma ehu aba asase no so nyinaa.
14 And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
Mɛsɛe Misraim Atifi, ato Soan mu ogya na matwe Tebes aso.
15 And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
Mehwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu Pɛlusum so Misraim banbɔ denden no, na matwa Tebes nnipa bebrebe no agu.
16 And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses.
Mɛto Misraim mu ogya; Pɛlusum de ɔyea bɛnukanuka ne mu. Ahum bɛbu afa Tebes so; na Memfis bɛdi abooboo ɛda biara.
17 The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go.
Heliopolis ne Bubastis mmeranteɛ bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano, na nkuropɔn no ankasa bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.
18 And in Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency of her strength, She — a cloud doth cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go.
Esum kabii bɛduru Tapanhes ɛda no, sɛ mebubu Misraim kɔnnua no a; ɛhɔ na nʼahomasoɔ ahoɔden bɛba awieeɛ. Omununkum bɛkata ne so, na ne nkuraase bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.
19 And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Ɛno enti mɛtwe Misraim aso, na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
20 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying: 'Son of man,
Afe a ɛtɔ so dubaako no bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
21 The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it — to lay hold on the sword.
“Onipa ba, mabu Misraimhene Farao abasa mu. Wɔnkyekyereeɛ na atoa bio; na wɔmmfa nhyɛɛ ntoma bamma mu na anya ahoɔden a ɔde bɛsɔ akofena mu.
22 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,
Ɛno enti, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ: Mene Misraimhene Farao anya, mɛbu nʼabasa mmienu no mu; abasa a ɛyɛ ne deɛ a emu abuo no, na mama akofena afiri ne nsam atɔ fam.
23 And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands,
Mede Misraimfoɔ bɛkokɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so.
24 And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he hath groaned the groans of a pierced one — before him.
Mɛhyɛ Babiloniahene basa mu den na mede mʼakofena ahyɛ ne nsa, nanso Farao deɛ, mɛbu nʼabasa mu, na wasi apinie wɔ nʼanim sɛ obi a wapira pirabɔne.
25 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.
Mɛma Babiloniahene abasa mu ayɛ den, nanso Farao abasa bɛdwodwo asensɛn ne ho. Sɛ mede mʼakofena hyɛ Babiloniahene nsa na ɔma so tia Misraim a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
26 And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
Mede Misraimfoɔ bɛkokɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase no so. Ɛno na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
