Hezekiel 30
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Mifa avi, miagblɔ be, Baba na ŋkeke ma,
“Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lilani lithi, “Maye ngalolosuku!”
3 elabena ŋkeke ma gogo, Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke ma tu aƒe, ŋkeke si dzi blukɔ ado, ŋkeke si ahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va dukɔwo dzi.
Ngoba usuku seluseduze, usuku lukaThixo seluseduze usuku lwamayezi, isikhathi sokutshabalala kwezizwe.
4 Yi aɖe atso ɖe Egipte ŋu, eye ŋɔdzi aɖo Kus. Ne ame ku le Egipte la, woalɔ Egipte ƒe kesinɔnuwo adzoe, eye woakaka eƒe gɔmeɖoɖo ƒe agunu.
Inkemba izakumelana leGibhithe, losizi luzakwehlela phezu kukaKhushi. Lapho ababuleweyo besiwa eGibhithe inotho yalo izathunjwa lezisekelo zalo zidilizelwe phansi.
5 Kus kple Libia, Lidia kple Arabia katã, Kub kple dukɔ siwo katã me tɔwo le nubabla la me la, atsi yinu kpe ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu.’
IKhushi lePhuthi, iLudi le-Arabhiya yonke, iLibhiya kanye labantu belizwe lesivumelwano bazabulawa ngenkemba ndawonye leGibhithe.
6 “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Egipte dzi nɔlawo adze anyi, eye eƒe ŋusẽ si dzi wòdana ɖo la ayi to tso Migdol va se ɖe Aswan; woatsi yinu le eme.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Abasekeli beGibhithe bazakufa, lamandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Kusukela eMigidoli kusiya e-Asiwani bazakuwa ngenkemba phakathi kwalo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
7 “Woazu gbegbe le anyigba siwo wogblẽ la dome, eye woƒe duwo anɔ du siwo wogbã la dome.
Bazachitheka phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, njalo amadolobho abo azakuba phakathi kwamadolobho adiliziweyo.
8 Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne metɔ dzo Egipte, eye mefanya eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo katã.
Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengithungela iGibhithe ngomlilo labasizi balo bonke sebeqothulwe.
9 “Gbe ma gbe la, ame dɔdɔwo atso gbɔnye anɔ tɔdziʋuwo me be woado ŋɔdzi na Kus le eƒe ɖokuiŋudzedze me. Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo wo le Egipte ƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkeke la ta, elabena ele vava ge godoo.
Ngalolosuku izithunywa zizaphuma zisuka kimi ngemikhumbi ziyetshayisa iKhushi ngovalo, kuphele ukungazikhathazi kwalo. Bazakwehlelwa lusizi ngosuku lokutshabalala kweGibhithe, ngoba ngempela kuzafika.
10 “‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Matsrɔ̃ Egipte ameha gã la to Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia ƒe asi dzi.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizawaqeda amaxuku aseGibhithe ngesandla sikaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
11 Woakplɔ eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ, ame siwo mekpɔa nublanui na amewo le dukɔwo katã dome o la, vɛ be woagblẽ anyigba la. Woaɖe woƒe yi le aku me ɖe Egipte ŋu, eye woana ame kukuwo nayɔ anyigba la dzi.
Yena lebutho lakhe, abalolunya olukhulu phakathi kwezizwe, bazalethwa ukuba bachithe ilizwe. Bazahwatsha izinkemba zabo ukuba bamelane leGibhithe bagcwalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
12 Mana Nil tɔsisi la namie, eye madzra anyigba la na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Mana amedzrowo ƒe asi nagblẽ anyigba la kple nu sia nu si le edzi. Nye, Yehowae ƒo nu.
Ngizakomisa izifula zeNayili lelizwe ngilithengisele abantu ababi; ngesandla sabezizweni, ngizalichitha ilizwe, lakho konke okukulo. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
13 “‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Magbã woƒe legbawo, eye maɖe aklamakpakpɛ siwo le Memfis la ɖa. Dziɖula aɖeke maganɔ Egipte azɔ o, eye mana vɔvɔ̃ naɖo ame sia ame le anyigba la dzi.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizachitha izithombe ngiqede izifanekiso eMemfisi. Akusayikuba khona inkosana eGibhithe, njalo ngizaletha ukwesaba kulolonke ilizwe.
14 Mana Egipte ƒe dzigbeme nazu gbegbe, matɔ dzo Zoan, eye mahe to na Tebes.
Ngizachitha iPhathrosi, ngithungele iZowani ngomlilo, besengiletha isijeziso phezu kweThebesi.
15 Matrɔ nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe Pelusium, Egipte ƒe mɔ sesẽtɔ la dzi, eye matsrɔ̃ Tebes ƒe amehawo.
Ngizakwehlisela ulaka lwami phezu kwePhelusiyami, inqaba yaseGibhithe, ngiqede lamaxuku aseThebesi.
16 Matɔ dzo Egipte; Pelusium anɔ ŋeŋem kple vevesese, ahom akplɔ Tebes adzoe, eye Memfis axaxa le nyadzɔɖeamedziwo ta.
Ngizathungela iGibhithe ngomlilo; iPhelusiyami izajanqula ngobuhlungu. IThebesi izathunjwa ngesidumo esikhulu; iMemfisi izakuba sosizini olumiyo.
17 Heliopolis kple Bubastis ƒe ɖekakpuiwo atsi yi nu, eye duawo me tɔwo ŋutɔ aɖe aboyo wo ɖokuiwo.
Amajaha aseHeliyopholisi leBhubhastisi azabulawa ngenkemba, lamadolobho wona ngokwawo azathunjwa.
18 Tapanhes ƒe ŋkeke ado viviti, ne mekaka Egipte ƒe kɔkuti; afi mae Egipte ƒe ŋusẽ, si dzi wòdana ɖo la, aɖo eƒe seƒe le. Lilikpo atsyɔ edzi, eye woaɖe aboyo eƒe duwo me tɔwo.
EThahiphanesi imini izakuba mnyama, lapho ngisephula ijogwe leGibhithe; khonale-ke amandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Azakwembeswa ngamayezi, njalo imizi yalo izakuya ekuthunjweni.
19 Ale mahe to na Egipte, eye wòanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
Ngokunjalo ngizakwehlisela isijeziso phezu kweGibhithe, njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
20 Le ƒe wuiɖekɛlia ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yakuqala ngosuku lwesikhombisa, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
21 “Ame vi, meŋe Farao, Egipte fia ƒe abɔ ɖeka. Womeblae kple avɔ wòatsya o, eye womeblae kple ati be, wòagasẽ alé yi o.
“Ndodana yomuntu, sengiyephule ingalo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Kayibotshwanga ukuba iphole kumbe ifakwe uhlaka ukuze iqine okwanele ukuthi iphathe inkemba.
22 Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Metso ɖe Farao, Egipte fia ŋu. Maŋe eƒe abɔ eveawo, eye mana yi nage le esi.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana loFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Ngizazephula zombili izingalo zakhe, eqinileyo kanye leyephukileyo, ngenze inkemba iwe esandleni sakhe.
23 Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye maka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni.
24 Mado ŋusẽ Babilonia fia ƒe abɔwo, eye matsɔ nye yi ade asi nɛ, ke maŋe Farao ƒe abɔwo, eye wòanɔ ŋeŋem le eŋkume abe ame si ŋu wode kubi ene.
Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngifake inkemba yami ezandleni zayo, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro ngizazephula, njalo uzabubula phambi kwayo njengomuntu olimale okokufa.
25 Mado ŋusẽ Babilonia fia ƒe abɔwo, ke Farao ya ƒe abɔwo aku ɖe eŋuti. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa, ne metsɔ nye yi de asi na Babilonia fia be woanyee le yame ɖe Egipte ŋu.
Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro zizakuba buthakathaka. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo lapho sengifaka inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni layo isiyizunguza imelane leGibhithe.
26 Makaka Egiptetɔwo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye makaka wo ahlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni futhi. Lapho-ke azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
