Ezekiela 29
1 I KA umi o ka makahiki, i ka umi o ka malama, i ka la umikumamalua o ka malama, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e kau e aku oe i kou maka ia Parao, i ke alii o Aigupita, a e wanana ku e ia ia, a me Aigupita a pau.
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.
3 E olelo aku oe, e i aku, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Eia hoi, ke ku e nei au ia oe, e Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, ka moo nui e moe ana iwaena o kona mau muliwai, ka mea i olelo, No'u no kuu muliwai, na'u no ia i hana no'u.
Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”
4 E hookomo aku au i na kilou iloko o kou mau a, a e hoopili aku au i na ia o kou mau muliwai i kou mau unahi; a e lawe mai au ia oe mai waenakonu mai o kou mau muliwai, a me na ia a pau o kou mau muliwai e pili ana i kou mau unahi.
For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.
5 A e waiho aku au ia oe iloko o ka waonahele, ia oe, a me na ia a pau o ko'u mau muliwai, a e haule oe ma ka aina mawaho; aole oe e hoakoakoaia, aole hoi e houluuluia; ua haawi aku au ia oe i ai na na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa.
I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
6 A e ike no ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Aigupita owau no Iehova, no ka mea, ua lilo lakou i kookoo ohe i ka ohana a Iseraela.
Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.
7 A i ko lakou lalau ana ia oe ma kou lima, ua uhai oe, ua wawahi hoi i ko lakou poohiwi a pau; a i ko lakou hilinai ana maluna ou, ua haki oe, a haalulu ko lakou puhaka okoa.
When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.
8 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E lawe mai au i ka pahikaua maluna ou, a e oki aku i kanaka a me ka holoholona mai ou aku nei;
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.
9 A e neoneo aku ka aina o Aigupita e noho ole ia, a e ike lakou owau no Iehova; no ka mea, ua olelo oia, No'u no ka muliwai, a na'u no ia i hana.
So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”
10 Nolaila, ea, ke ku e nei au ia oe, a i kou muliwai; a e hooneoneo loa au i ka aina Aigupita e noho ole ia, mai ka palena o Seena a hiki i ka palena o Aitiopa.
Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.
11 Aole wawae kanaka e hele mawaena ona, aole wawae holoholona e hele mawaena ona, aole hoi e nohoia a kanaha na makahiki.
No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.
12 A e haawi au i ka aina Aigupita i neoneo, iwaena o na aina neo-neo, a o kona mau kulanakauhale iwaena o na kulanakauhale i hooneoneoia, e neoneo no i na makahiki he kanaha: a e hoopuehu au i ko Aigupita iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e lulu aku au ia lakou iwaena o na aina.
For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.
13 A ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; I ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanaha, e houluulu mai au i ko Aigupita, mai loko mai o na lahuikanaka kahi i puehuia lakou.
For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
14 E hoihoi mai hoi au i ke pio ana o Aigupita, a e hoihoi mai au ia lakou e komo i ka aina o Paterosa a i ko lakou aina e noho ai; e noho lakou ilaila he aupuni haa-haa.
I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.
15 E lilo ia i haahaa loa iwaena o na aupuni, aole ia e hookiekie hou iluna o na lahuikanaka; no ka mea, e hoemi au ia lakou, aole hoi lakou e hooalii ae maluna o ko na aina.
It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.
16 Aole loa aku ia he mea hilinai no ka ohana a Iseraela, ka mea i paipai i ka manao i ko lakou hewa, i ka wa e nana ai lakou ia lakou; aka, e ike no lakou, owau no Iehova ka Haku.
The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”
17 Eia keia, i ka iwakaluakumamahiku o na makahiki, i ka malama mua, i ka la mua o ka malama, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
18 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hooluhi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona i kona poe koa e hana i ka hana nui ku e ia Turo; ua hooohuleia na poo a pau, a ua poholeia na poohiwi a pau; aole hoi ona uku, aole hoi o kona poe kaua, no Turo, no ka hana, ana i hana ku e aku ai ia ia.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.
19 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Aia hoi, e haawi aku au i ka aina Aigupita iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona; a e lawe oia i kona lehulehu, a e lawe hoi oia i kona waiwai pio, a e lawe hoi i kona waiwai kaili; a e lilo ia i uku no kona poe kaua.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.
20 No kana hana, aua i hana ku e aku ai ia ia, ua haawi aku au i ka aina Aigupita ia ia, no ka mea, ua hana lakou no'u, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
21 Ia la no e hooopuu ae au i ka pepeiaohao o ka ohana a Iseraela, a e haawi aku au ia oe i ka oaka ana o ka waha iwaenakonu o lakou; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
