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 LORD’s word 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 king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all 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.
Speak and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and 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.
I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales. I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick 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’ll cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
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.
“‘“All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed 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 by your hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and paralysed all of their thighs.”
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 GOD says: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal 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.
The land of Egypt will be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “‘“Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and 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 rivers. I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 Aole wawae kanaka e hele mawaena ona, aole wawae holoholona e hele mawaena ona, aole hoi e nohoia a kanaha na makahiki.
No foot of man will pass through it, nor will any animal foot pass through it. It won’t 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.
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities amongst the cities that are laid waste will be a desolation forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”
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 GOD says: “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where 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 reverse the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
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 lowest of the kingdoms. It won’t lift itself up above the nations any more. I will diminish them so that they will no longer rule over the 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.
It will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”’”
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,
It came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word 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 king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet he had no wages, nor did his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served 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 GOD says: ‘Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her multitude, take her plunder, and take her prey. That will be the wages for his army.
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 his payment for which he served, because they worked for me,’ says the Lord GOD.
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.
“In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth amongst them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
