< Ezekiyel 30 >
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 “Ɗan mutum, ka yi annabci ka ce, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa, “‘Yi kuka kana cewa, “Kaito saboda wannan rana!”
“You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
3 Gama ranar ta yi kusa, ranar Ubangiji ta gabato, ranar gizagizai, lokacin hallaka wa al’ummai.
That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
4 Takobi zai zo a kan Masar, azaba za tă zo a kan Kush. Sa’ad da kisassu za su fāɗi a Masar, za a kwashe dukiyarta a tafi a rushe harsashinta.
[An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
5 Kush da Fut, Lidiya da dukan Arabiya, Libiya da kuma mutanen ƙasar alkawari za su mutu ta wurin takobi tare da Masar.
[Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
6 “‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa, “‘Waɗanda suke goyon bayan Masar za su fāɗi ƙarfinta da take fariya da shi zai ƙare. Daga Migdol zuwa Aswan za su mutu ta wurin takobi a cikinta, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
7 Za su zama kango a cikin ƙasashen da suke kango, biranensu kuwa za su zama kufai a cikin biranen da suka lalace.
Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
8 Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji, sa’ad da suka ga na sa wuta wa Masar aka kuma ragargaza masu taimakonta.
Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
9 “‘A wannan rana manzanni za su fito daga wurina a jiragen ruwa don su tsorata Kush daga sake jikinta. Azaba za tă kama su a ranar hallakar Masar, gama tabbatacce za tă zo.
At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
10 “‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa, “‘Zan kawo ƙarshen mutanen Masar ta hannun Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
11 Shi da sojojinsa, mafi bantsoro cikin al’ummai, za a kawo don su hallaka ƙasar. Za su zāre takuba a kan Masar su kuma cika ƙasar da kisassu.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
12 Zan kafe rafuffukan Nilu in sayar da ƙasar ga mugayen mutane; ta hannun baƙi zan sa ƙasar ta lalace da kome da yake cikinta. Ni Ubangiji na faɗa.
I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
13 “‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa, “‘Zan hallaka gumaka in kuma kawo ƙarshen siffofi a Memfis. Ba za a ƙara samun yerima a ƙasar Masar ba, zan kuma baza tsoro a duk fāɗin ƙasar.
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
14 Zan lalace Masar ta Bisa in ƙuna wuta wa Zowan in zartar da hukunci a kan Tebes.
I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
15 Zan kwarara hasalata a kan Felusiyum, kagarar Masar, in kuma datse mutanen Tebes.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
16 Zan ƙuna wuta wa Masar; Felusiyum za tă sha azaba mai zafi. Za a tayar wa Tebes da hankali; Memfis za tă riƙa kasance cikin ɓacin rai.
I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
17 Samarin Heliyofolis da Bubastis za su mutu ta wurin takobi, biranen kansu za su tafi bauta.
[Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
18 Duhu ne zai zama rana a Tafanes sa’ad da na karye ikon Masar; a can ƙarfin da take fariya zai ƙare. Za a rufe ta da gizagizai ƙauyukanta kuma za su tafi bauta.
It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
19 Ta haka zan zartar da hukunci a kan Masar, za su kuwa san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’”
That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
20 A shekara ta goma sha ɗaya, a wata na fari a rana ta goma sha bakwai, maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
21 “Ɗan mutum, na karye hannun Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Ba a daure shi don warkarwa ba ko a sa tsinke saboda kada yă zama da ƙarfi har ya riƙe takobi.
“You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
22 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ina gāba da Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Zan karye hannuwansa biyu, hannun da yake da kyau da kuma wanda an riga an karya, in kuma sa takobi ya fāɗi daga hannunsa.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23 Zan watsar da Masarawa a cikin al’ummai in warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
24 Zan ƙarfafa hannuwan sarkin Babilon in kuma sa takobina a hannunsa, amma zan karya hannuwan Fir’auna, zai kuwa yi nishi a gabansa kamar mutumin da aka yi wa raunin mutuwa.
[It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
25 Zan ƙarfafa hannuwan sarkin Babilon, amma hannuwan Fir’auna za su shanye. Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji, sa’ad da na sa takobi a hannun sarkin Babilon na kuma miƙa shi a kan Masar.
I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
26 Zan watsar da Masarawa a cikin al’ummai in warwatsa su cikin ƙasashe. Sa’an nan za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.”
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
