Hezekiel 32
1 Le ƒe wuievelia ƒe ɣleti wuievelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
And it came about in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Ame vi, kpa konyifaha aɖe tso Farao, Egipte fia ŋu, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èle abe dzata ene le dukɔwo dome, èle abe lã dziŋɔ aɖe ene le atsiaƒuwo me. Èle tsi ƒum le wò tɔsisiwo me, “‘Èle tsi la trom kple wò afɔwo, Eye nèna ba ge ɖe tsiawo me.
Son of man, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty.
3 “‘Aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “‘Ameha gã aɖe akpe ɖe ŋunye, Mada nye ɖɔ ɖe dziwò, Eye woahe wò ava gota le nye ɖɔ me.
This is what the Lord has said: My net will be stretched out over you, and I will take you up in my fishing-net.
4 Matsɔ wò aƒu gbe ɖe anyigba dzi, Eye mada wò ɖe gbedzi, Mana dziƒoxeviwo katã nadze ɖe dziwò, Eye anyigbadzilã wɔadãwo katã Nanya avuzi le dziwò.
And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you.
5 Makaka wò ŋutilã ɖe toawo dzi, Eye mana balimewo nayɔ fũu kple wò kukua.
And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and make the valleys full of your blood.
6 Mana wò ʋu natsa le anyigba la dzi, Ayi keke toawo te ke, Eye balimewo ayɔ fũu kple wò ŋutilã.
And the land will be watered with your blood, and the waterways will be full of you.
7 Ne mena nuwò yi la, Matsyɔ nu dziƒo nu. Mana woƒe ɣletiviwo nado viviti. Matsɔ lilikpo atsyɔ ɣe ŋkume, Eye ɣleti magana kekeli o.
And when I put out your life, the heaven will be covered and its stars made dark; I will let the sun be covered with a cloud and the moon will not give her light.
8 Dziƒokaɖi keklẽwo katã, Mana woado viviti ɖe dziwò. Mahe viviti ava wò anyigba dzi, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and put dark night on your land, says the Lord.
9 Maɖe fu na dukɔ geɖewo ƒe dzi, Ne mehe wò tsɔtsrɔ̃ vɛ, Le dukɔwo dome. Le anyigba siwo mènya o la dzi.
And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you.
10 Mana dukɔ geɖewo ƒe nu naku ɖe tawò, Eye woƒe fiawo nadzo nyanyanya Kple vɔvɔ̃ ɖe tawò, Ne menye nye yi le yame le woƒe ŋkume. Le wò anyidzedze ƒe ŋkeke la dzi la, Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe adzo nyanyanya Ɣeawo katã ɣi ɖe eƒe agbe ta.
And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall.
11 “‘Elabena aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ, “‘Babilonia fia ƒe yi Ado ɖe ŋuwò.
For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.
12 Mana wò amewo natsi ame sesẽwo, Ame siwo sẽa ŋuta wu Le dukɔwo katã dome la ƒe yinu. Woatsi Egipte ƒe dada nu, Eye woaɖu eƒe ame gbogboawo dzi.
I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.
13 Matsrɔ̃ eƒe nyiwo katã Tso tsi gãwo to, Tsi gã siwo ame ƒe afɔ magablu o, Eye nyiwo ƒe afɔwo magablu ba ɖe wo me o.
And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts.
14 Ekema mana eƒe tsiwo nadze anyi, Eye mana woatsa abe ami ene.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
Then I will make their waters clear and their rivers will be flowing like oil, says the Lord.
15 “Ne mena Egipte zu gbegbe, Meɖe nu sia nu si le edzi ɖa, Eye meƒo ame siwo katã le edzi ƒu anyi la, Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.
When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.
16 “Esiae nye konyifaha si woadzi nɛ. Dukɔawo ƒe vinyɔnuviwo adzii nɛ. Woadzii na Egipte kple eƒe amewo. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.
17 Le ƒe wuievelia ƒe ɣletia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia gbe la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Ame vi, fa avi ɖe Egipte ƒe ame gbogboawo ŋu, eye nàna woayi tome, Egipte kple dukɔ sesẽwo ƒe vinyɔnuviwo kple ame siwo yi aʋlime.
Son of man, let your voice be loud in sorrow for the people of Egypt and send them down, even you and the daughters of the nations; I will send them down into the lowest parts of the earth, with those who go down into the underworld.
19 Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ɖe wònyo na mi wu ale si wònyo na ame bubuwoea? Miyi tome, eye miamlɔ bolotɔwo dome.’
Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,
20 Woamlɔ ame siwo tsi yinu la dome. Wolé yi la ɖe asi, mina woakplɔe adzoe kple eƒe ame gbogboawo.
Among those who have been put to the sword: they will give a resting-place with them to all their people.
21 Le yɔdo la me la, kplɔla ŋusẽtɔwo agblɔ tso Egipte kple ame siwo wòtsɔ aʋae la ŋu be, ‘Wova ɖo tome, eye woamlɔ bolotɔwo, ame siwo tsi yinu la dome.’ (Sheol h7585)
The strong among the great ones will say to him from the underworld, Are you more beautiful than any? go down, you and your helpers, and take your rest among those without circumcision, and those who have been put to the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 “Asiria le afi ma kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la; eƒe ame siwo wowu la ƒe yɔdowo ƒo xlãe, ame siwo katã tsi yinu.
There is Asshur and all her army, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword:
23 Woƒe yɔdowo le do la ƒe gogloƒe, eye eƒe aʋakɔ la ƒo xlã yɔdo la. Wowu ame siwo katã do ŋɔdzi na agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba, wotsi yi nu.
Whose resting-places are in the inmost parts of the underworld, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living.
24 “Elam le afi ma, eye eƒe amehawo katã ɖe to ɖe eƒe yɔdo, Ame tsiaʋawo sɔŋ wonye, eye wotsi yinu, wonye bolotɔwo yi tsiẽƒe, woawoe de ŋɔdzi agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi; azɔ ŋu akpe wo akpe ɖe aʋlimeyilawo ŋu.
There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:
25 Wotsɔ eya kple eƒe amehawo katã mlɔ Ame tsiaʋawo dome, woƒe yɔdowo ɖe to ɖee, bolotɔwo sɔŋ wonye, eye woda yi wo, elabena wode ŋɔdzi agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi; azɔ ŋu akpe wo akpe ɖe aʋlimeyilawo ŋu; Ame tsiaʋawo dome wokɔ wo mlɔe.
They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.
26 “Mesek kple Tubal le afi ma kple woƒe ame gbogboawo katã, ƒo xlã yɔdoawo. Wo katã wonye bolotɔwo, wowu wo kple yi, elabena wokaka woƒe ŋɔdzidoname ɖe agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death by the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living.
27 Ɖe womemlɔ aʋawɔla bubuawo, ame siwo nye bolotɔwo dome, ame siwo ku, woyi yɔdo la me kple woƒe aʋawɔnuwo, ame siwo ƒe yi wotsɔ da ɖe woƒe ta te oa? Woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe tohehe le woƒe ƒuwo dzi togbɔ be aʋawɔla siawo ƒe ŋɔdzidoname xɔ agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi hã. (Sheol h7585)
And they have been put to rest with the fighting men who came to their end in days long past, who went down to the underworld with their instruments of war, placing their swords under their heads, and their body-covers are over their bones; for their strength was a cause of fear in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 “Wò hã, O! Farao, woagbã wò gudugudu, eye nàmlɔ bolotɔwo kple ame siwo tsi yinu la dome.
But you will have your bed among those without circumcision, and will be put to rest with those who have been put to death with the sword.

There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.
30 “Anyiehe fiaviwo katã kple Sidontɔwo katã le afi ma. Woyi aʋlime kple ŋukpe kple ame siwo wowu le ŋɔdzi si woƒe ŋusẽ do na amewo megbe. Womlɔ anyi aʋamatsomatsoe kple ame siwo yi aʋlime.
There are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who have gone down with those who have been put to the sword: they are shamed on account of all the fear caused by their strength; they are resting there without circumcision, among those who have been put to the sword, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld.
31 “Farao, eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la, akpɔ wo, eye woafa akɔ na wo le woƒe ame gbogbo siwo tsi yi nu la ta. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
Pharaoh will see them and be comforted on account of all his people: even Pharaoh and all his army, put to death by the sword, says the Lord.

For he put his fear in the land of the living: and he will be put to rest among those without circumcision, with those who have been put to death with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.
