Izikiel 30

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma sịkwa, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “‘Kwasienụ akwa ike ma sị, “Ewoo, nʼihi ụbọchị ahụ!”

Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!

3 Nʼihi nʼụbọchị ahụ adịla nso, Ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị abịala nso, ụbọchị igwe ojii, ụbọchị ga-ewetara mba dị iche iche mbibi.

For the day of the Lord is nigh, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.

4 Mma agha ga-abịakwasị Ijipt, ihe mgbu ga-adakwasị Kush. Mgbe ndị e gburu egbu ga-abụ aja dị nʼala, a ga-ekpokọrọkwa akụnụba ya, mebikwaa ntọala ya. Ala ya ga-abụkwa ihe e bibiri ebibi.

And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.

5 Kush na Libiya, Lidiya na ndị Arebịa niile gwara ọgwa, Kub na ndị mba ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na Ijipt ga-eso daa site na mma agha.

Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.

6 “‘Ọ bụ ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “‘Ndị niile na-akwagide Ijipt ga-ada, nganga niile nke ike ya ga-agwụsịkwa. Site na Migdol ruo nʼAswan, ọ bụ site na mma agha ka ha ga-ada nʼime ya. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.

And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, saith the Lord.

7 Ha ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, nʼetiti ala niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Obodo ha niile ga-abụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼetiti ọtụtụ obodo e bibiri ebibi.

And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:

8 Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tinyesịrị ọkụ nʼIjipt, mgbe m gwepịara ndị niile na-enyere ya aka.

and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.

9 “‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ezipu ndị ozi ndị ga-eji ụgbọ dị iche iche, ka ha gaa menye ndị Kush egwu, bụ ndị onwe ha jụrụ afọ. Oke egwu ga-ejidekwa ha nʼoge ahụ nʼihi ihe dakwasịrị Ijipt, nʼihi ihe ndị a aghaghị imezu.

In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.

10 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Aga m esite nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn bibie igwe ndị agha Ijipt niile.

Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,

11 Ya onwe ya na ndị agha ya, bụ mba kachasị mba niile njọ na-enweghị obi ebere, ka a ga-akpọbata ka ha bịa bibie ala ahụ. Ha ga-amịpụta mma agha ha megide Ijipt, werekwa ozu ndị e gburu egbu tụsasịa nʼala ahụ.

his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.

12 Aga m eme ka osimiri Naịl taa. Ọ ga-aghọkwa ala kpọrọ nkụ. Aga m ewerekwa ala ahụ resi mba ndị ọjọọ. Aga m ala ala ahụ na ihe niile dị nʼime ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụkwa ndị mba ọzọ ka m ga-eji mee ya. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.

And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.

13 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘M ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mekwaa ka ihe niile a kpụrụ akpụ dị na Memfis kwụsị. Onye eze agakwaghị adị ọzọ nʼIjipt, aga m emekwa ka egwu jupụta nʼala ahụ niile.

For thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.

14 Aga m emekwa ka Patros tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Aga m etinye ọkụ na Zoan, ma taa Tibs ahụhụ.

And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.

15 M ga-awụkwasị Pelusium ọnụma m, bụ ebe siri ike nke Ijipt, m ga-ebipụkwa igwe ndị Tibs niile.

And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.

16 Aga m amụnye ọkụ nʼIjipt, Pelusium ga-anọ nʼoke ihe mgbu. A ga-eji ike tipịa Tibs. Memfis ga-anọgidekwa nʼọnọdụ ọjọọ ụbọchị niile.

And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.

17 Ụmụ okorobịa Heliopolis na Bubasti ga-anwụ site na mma agha. Obodo ndị a niile ga-abụkwa ndị a dọtara nʼagha.

The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.

18 Ụbọchị ahụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị na Tapanhis mgbe m ga-agbaji yoku Ijipt, nʼebe ahụ ka mpako nke ike ya ga-agwụsị. Igwe ojii ga-ekpuchi ya, a ga-adọtakwa obodo nta ya niile nʼagha.

And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.

19 Aga m eme ka Ijipt taa ahụhụ dị ukwuu, ka ha mata nʼezie na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”

And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

20 O ruo, nʼafọ nke iri na otu ya, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nʼọnwa nke mbụ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 “Nwa nke mmadụ, agbajiela m ogwe aka Fero, eze Ijipt. Lee, o nwebeghị onye gbara ya ọkpụkpụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ kee ya ihe, ka o sie ike ọzọ ijide mma agha.

Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.

22 Nʼihi ya, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: Lee, mụ onwe m na-emegide Fero bụ eze Ijipt. Aga m agbaji ogwe aka ya abụọ, ma nke siri ike ma nke gbajiri agbaji na mbụ. Aga m emekwa ka mma agha ya si nʼaka ya dapụ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will smite down his sword out of his hand.

23 Aga m achụsa ndị Ijipt nʼetiti mba niile tụsaakwa ha nʼobodo niile,

And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.

24 meekwa ka ogwe aka abụọ nke eze Babilọn sie ike. Aga m etinye mma agha m nʼaka ya, ma ogwe aka abụọ nke Fero ka m ga-agbajisi. Mgbe ahụ, Fero ga-asụ ude nʼihu eze Babilọn dịka onye e merụrụ ahụ.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.

25 Aga m eme ka ogwe aka abụọ nke eze Babilọn sie ike; ma ogwe aka Fero ga-akpọnwụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tinyere mma agha nʼaka eze Babilọn, na mgbe o setịpụrụ ya imegide Ijipt.

Yea, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.

26 Aga m achụsa ndị Ijipt nʼetiti mba niile, fesaa ha nʼala niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”

And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
