Ezekiyel 29
1 A shekara ta goma, a wata na goma, a rana ta goma sha biyu, maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
2 “Ɗan mutum, ka fuskanci Fir’auna sarkin Masar ka kuma yi annabci gāba da shi da dukan Masar.
“You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
3 Yi masa magana ka ce, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa, “‘Ina gāba da kai, Fir’auna sarkin Masar, kai babban mugun dodon ruwa kwance cikin rafuffukanka. Ka ce, “Nilu nawa ne; na yi shi wa kaina.”
Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”
4 Amma zan sa ƙugiyoyi a muƙamuƙanka in sa kifin rafuffukanka su manne wa kamɓorinka. Zan jawo ka daga cikin tsakiyar rafuffukanka, da dukan kifayen rafuffukanka, waɗanda suka manne a ƙamborinka,
But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.
5 Zan bar ka a cikin hamada, kai da dukan kifin rafuffukanka. Za ka fāɗi a fili ba kuwa za a tattara ka ko a kwashe ba. Zan ba da kai kamar abinci ga namun jeji na duniya da tsuntsayen sararin sama.
I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.
6 Ta haka dukan waɗanda suke zama a Masar za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji. “‘Ka zama sandan iwa domin gidan Isra’ila.
When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.
7 Sa’ad da suka kama ka da hannuwansu, ka tsattsage, ka kuma buɗu a kafaɗunsu; sa’ad da suka jingina a kanka, sai ka karye, bayansu kuwa ya firgita.
And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.
8 “‘Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa zan kawo takobi a kanka in kashe mutane da dabbobi.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
9 Masar za tă zama kufai. Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji. “‘Domin ka ce, “Nilu nawa ne; ni na yi shi,”
Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”
10 saboda haka ina gāba da kai da rafuffukanka, zan kuma maishe ƙasar Masar ta lalace ta kuma zama kango daga Migdol zuwa Aswan, har iyakar Kush.
Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.
11 Ba ƙafar mutum ko ta dabbar da za tă ratsa ta; ba wanda zai zauna a can har shekaru arba’in.
For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
12 Zan mai da ƙasar Masar kufai a cikin ƙasashen da aka ragargaza, biranenta kuma za su zama kango har shekaru arba’in a cikin biranen da aka lalace. Zan watsar da Masarawa a cikin al’ummai in warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe.
Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].
13 “‘Duk da haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a ƙarshen shekaru arba’in ɗin zan tattara Masarawa daga al’ummai inda aka warwatsa su.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 Zan komo da su daga zaman bauta in mai da su zuwa Masar ta Bisa, ƙasarsu ta ainihi. A can za su zama masarauta marar ƙarfi.
I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.
15 Za tă zama masarauta mafi rarrauna cikin masarautai, ba kuwa za tă ƙara ɗaga kanta a kan sauran al’ummai ba. Zan sa tă zama marar ƙarfi ƙwarai, har da ba za tă ƙara yin mulkin a kan al’ummai ba.
It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.
16 Masar ba za tă ƙara zama abin dogara ga mutanen Isra’ila ba amma za tă zama abin tunin zunubinsu na juyawa gare ta don taimako. Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’”
[When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
17 A shekara ta ashirin da bakwai, a wata na fari a rana ta farko, maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:
18 “Ɗan mutum, Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya sa sojojinsa su matsa wa Taya; kowane kai ya koɗe, kowace kafaɗa kuma ta goge. Duk da haka shi da sojojinsa ba su sami wani lada daga matsin da suka yi a kan Taya ba.
“You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].
19 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa zan ba da Masar ga Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon, zai washe dukiyarta. Zai kwashe ya washe ƙasar ganima a matsayin abin biyan sojojinsa.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
20 Saboda haka na ba shi Masar a matsayin lada don ƙoƙarinsa domin shi da sojojinsa sun yi wannan domina ne, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].
21 “A wannan rana zan sa ƙaho ya tsiro wa gidan Isra’ila, zan kuma buɗe bakinka a cikinsu. Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.”
And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
