Ezekieli 30
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro, uuge atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Girĩkai, muuge atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũthenya ũcio ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ!”
“Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’
3 Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, mũthenya ũrĩ na matu, mũthenya ũrĩ na mũthiro harĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
4 Rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũgookĩrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, naruo ruo rwa ngoro rũkinyĩrĩre Kushi. Rĩrĩa arĩa moragĩtwo makaagũa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, ũtonga wakuo nĩũgakuuo, nayo mĩthingi yakuo ĩmomorwo.
A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.
5 Andũ a Kushi na Putu, na Ludu, na Arabia guothe, na Lubia, na andũ a bũrũri wa kĩrĩkanĩro, makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora marĩ hamwe na andũ a Misiri.
Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various peoples, as well as Libya and the men of the covenant land, will fall with Egypt by the sword.
6 “‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Arata a Misiri nĩmakooragwo, naguo hinya wake ũrĩa etĩĩaga naguo nĩũgaathira. Kuuma Migidoli o nginya Aswani, makooragĩrwo kuo thĩinĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her,
7 “‘Nĩmagakira ihooru, marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mabũrũri marĩa manangĩtwo, magakira ihooru, namo matũũra mao manene magaakorwo marĩ thĩinĩ wa matũũra manene marĩa manangĩku.
They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaacina bũrũri wa Misiri na mwaki, nao arĩa othe maamateithagia mahehenjwo.
Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.
9 “‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngatũma andũ moime harĩ niĩ marĩ na marikabu, mathiĩ makahahũre andũ a Kushi, moime mwĩcaaro-inĩ wao. Nĩmakanyiitwo nĩ ruo rwa ngoro mũthenya ũcio bũrũri wa Misiri ũkaaniinwo, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ nĩũgakinya.
On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.
10 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩnganiina kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Misiri, hũthĩrĩte guoko kwa Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 We na mbũtũ ciake cia ita, o mbũtũ icio ikĩrĩtie ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe kwaga tha, nĩcio ikaarehwo, iniine bũrũri ũcio. Nĩigacomora hiũ ciao cia njora, ciũkĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri na ciyũrie bũrũri ũcio andũ arĩa moragĩtwo.
He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
12 Nĩngatũma tũrũũĩ tuothe twa Rũũĩ rwa Nili tũhwe, naguo bũrũri ũcio ndĩwenderie andũ aaganu; ngaawananga na moko ma andũ a kũngĩ, guo mwene, o hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie.
I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it.
13 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩngathũkangia ngai cia mĩhianano na niine mĩhiano ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Nofu. Gũtigacooka kũgĩa mũthamaki kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩngaiyũria bũrũri ũcio wothe guoya.
This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.
14 O nakuo Pathirosi nĩngakwananga, na ngwatie mwaki kũu Zoani, o na herithanie kũu Thebesi.
I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
15 O nakuo Pelusiumu nĩngagũitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, o kũu kĩĩgitĩro kĩa hinya kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, na njeherie kĩrĩndĩ gĩa kũu Thebesi.
I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
16 Nĩngagwatia mwaki kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nakuo Pelusiumu nĩgũkeehũũrithania nĩ ruo. Thebesi nĩgũgatharĩkĩrwo. Nofu nĩgũgakorwo na mĩnyamaro ĩtegũtigithĩria.
I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.
17 Aanake a Heliopoli na a Bubasiti makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao andũ a matũũra macio manene matahwo.
The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
18 Mũthenya nĩũkagĩa nduma kũu Tehafunehasu rĩrĩa ngoinanga icooki rĩa Misiri; kũu nĩkuo hinya wake ũcio etĩĩaga naguo ũgaathirĩra. Nĩakahumbĩrwo nĩ matu, namo matũũra make nĩmagatahwo.
The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngaherithia bũrũri wa Misiri, nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
20 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mũgwanja wa mweri wa mbere, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩnyunĩte guoko kwa Firaũni, mũthamaki wa Misiri. Gũtiohetwo na taama ũrĩ na ndawa nĩguo kũhone, kana gũkoohanio na mĩtĩ nĩguo kũgwate kũgĩe na hinya wa kuoya rũhiũ rwa njora.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Niĩ nĩngũũkĩrĩra Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩngũmuuna moko meerĩ, kũrĩa kũgima na kũrĩa kuunĩku, na ndũme rũhiũ rwa njora ruume guoko-inĩ gwake rũgwe thĩ.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
23 Nĩngahurunja andũ a Misiri ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
24 Nĩngekĩra moko ma mũthamaki wa Babuloni hinya, na ndĩmũnengere rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora arũnyiite na guoko, no nĩngoina moko ma Firaũni, nake acaaĩre hau mbere yake, o ta mũndũ ũgurarĩtio nguraro ya gĩkuũ.
I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.
25 Nĩngekĩra moko ma mũthamaki wa Babuloni hinya, no moko ma Firaũni nĩmakaaga hinya. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaanengera mũthamaki wa Babuloni rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora arũnyiite na guoko, nake arũhiũrie okĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri.
I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.
26 Nĩngahurunja andũ a Misiri ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
