1 Nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ, nʼọnwa nke iri na abụọ, nʼụbọchị nke mbụ ya, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, buliere Fero bụ eze Ijipt, abụ akwa sị ya, “‘Ị dị ka ọdụm nʼetiti mba niile. Ị dịkwa ka ogologo anụ ọjọọ na-anọ nʼosimiri. I na-akpụgharị onwe gị nʼime mmiri. I ji ụkwụ abụọ na-agbarụ mmiri, na-emekwa ka mmiri iyi niile gbarụọ.
‘Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, “You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.”
3 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “‘Aga m eji ọtụtụ ndị dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ gbasaa ụgbụ m nʼelu gị. Ha ga-adọkpụkwara gị nʼime ụgbụ m.
The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net.
4 Aga m atụsa gị nʼala, nʼọhịa ka m ga-atụfukwa gị, meekwa ka ụmụ nnụnụ niile nke eluigwe bekwasị gị. Aga m emekwa ka anụ ọhịa nke ụwa niile rijuo afọ nʼanụ ahụ gị.
I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5 Aga m tụsasịkwa anụ ahụ gị nʼugwu niile, werekwa ihe ọbụla fọdụrụ nʼime gị mejuo ndagwurugwu niile.
I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 M ga-eji ọbara gị na-asọ asọ dee ala niile dịka mmiri ọ bụladị ruo nʼugwu niile, ebe niile mmiri si erufe ga-ejupụtakwa nʼanụ ahụ gị.
I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
7 Mgbe m ga-emenyụ gị dịka ọkụ, aga m ekpuchi ihu eluigwe, meekwa ka kpakpando niile jie nji. Aga m eji igwe ojii mechie ihu anyanwụ, ọnwa agakwaghị enye ìhè ya.
When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
8 Ihe niile nke na-enye ìhè nʼeluigwe ka m ga-eme ka ha jie nji nʼelu gị, mee ka ọchịchịrị gbachie nʼala gị niile, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord GOD.
9 Aga m eweta obi mgbawa nʼetiti ndị mmadụ dị iche iche mgbe m ga-eme ka mbibi gị bịa nʼetiti mba niile nʼime ala dị iche iche nke ị na-amaghị.
“I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction amongst the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10 Aga m eme ka i ju ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ anya, ndị eze ha ga-ama jijiji nʼụjọ maka gị mgbe m ga-efegharị mma agha m nʼihu ha. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-ama jijiji na ntabi anya ọbụla nʼihi ndụ ya nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị ga-ada.
Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
11 “‘Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Mma agha nke eze Babilọn ga-abịakwasị gị.
For the Lord GOD says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.
12 Usuu ndị agha gị ga-adakwa nʼihu mma agha nke ndị dị ike, bụ ndị mba ahụ kachasị mba niile njọ. Nganga niile nke Ijipt na ndị ya, ka ha ga-egwepịa. Ha ga-akwatu usuu ndị agha ha niile.
I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty. They are all the ruthless of the nations. They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing, and all its multitude will be destroyed.
13 Aga m emekwa ka anụmanụ ya niile, nke na-ata ahịhịa nʼakụkụ mmiri laa nʼiyi. Ụkwụ mmadụ, na ụkwụ anụmanụ agakwaghị agbarụ mmiri ahụ ọzọ.
I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them.
14 Nʼihi ya, mmiri niile nke ya ga-adị ọcha, na-asọkwa dịka mmanụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says the Lord GOD.
15 Mgbe m bibiri Ijipt, kpochapụkwa ihe niile dị nʼime ya, mgbe m tidara ndị niile bi nʼime ya, ha ga-amata nʼezie na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’
“When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell therein, then they will know that I am the LORD.
16 “Nke a bụ abụ akwa ha ga-abụrụ ya. Ndị inyom mba dị iche iche ga-abụ ya. Ha ga-abụ ya nʼihi Ijipt na usuu ndị agha ya, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
“‘“This is the lamentation with which they will lament. The daughters of the nations will lament with this. They will lament with it over Egypt, and over all her multitude,” says the Lord GOD.’”
17 Nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ ahụ, nʼụbọchị nke iri na ise nke ọnwa ahụ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị sị,
Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 “Nwa nke mmadụ, tie mkpu akwa nʼihi usuu ndị agha Ijipt niile, wezuga ha baa nʼokpuru ụwa ma ndị inyom mba dị iche iche dị ukwuu, ha na ndị ahụ na-arịdaru nʼolulu.
“Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19 Gwa ha okwu sị ha, ‘Unu o nwere ihuọma karịa ndị ọzọ? Lee, ihe na-eche gị bụ olulu. Ọ bụkwa ndị a na-ebighị ugwu ka ị ga-edinakwuru.’
Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
20 Nʼetiti ndị e ji mma agha gbuo ka ha ga-ada. Amịpụtala mma agha maka ya, ka a dọkpụrụ ya na igwe ndị ya niile pụọ.
They will fall amongst those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.
21 Ndị dike nke ndị ndu dike ga-esite nʼala mmụọ kwuo banyere Ijipt na ndị niile ha na ya dị na mma, ‘Ha arịdatala, ha na-edina ala ha na ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, nakwa ndị niile ahụ e ji mma agha gbuo.’ (Sheol )
The strong amongst the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword. (Sheol )
22 “Nʼebe ahụ ka Asịrịa na ndị agha ya niile nọ; ili ndị niile o gburu egbu gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ndị niile nwụrụ site na mma agha.
“Asshur is there with all her company. Her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
23 Ili ha dị na nsọtụ niile nke olulu, ndị agha ya niile gbakwara ili ya gburugburu. E gbudala ndị niile mere ka oke egwu dị nʼala ndị dị ndụ. Ndị a nwụrụ site na mma agha.
whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
24 “Nʼebe ahụ ka Elam na usuu ndị agha ya nọ gbaa ili ya gburugburu. Ha niile bụ ndị e gburu egbu, ndị nwụrụ site na mma agha. Ndị niile mere ka oke egwu dị nʼala ndị dị ndụ arịdaruola nʼolulu ahụ dịka ndị a na-ebighị ugwu. Ha esorola ndị ahụ rịdaruru nʼala mmụọ keta oke nʼihere dịrị ha.
“There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25 E meere ya ebe ndina nʼetiti ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Igwe mmadụ ya nwụrụ anwụ gbakwara ili ya gburugburu.

Ha bụ ndị e debere nʼetiti ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
They have made Elam a bed amongst the slain with all her multitude. Her graves are around her, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put amongst those who are slain.
26 “Meshek na Tubal nọkwa nʼebe ahụ, ha na usuu ndị agha ha niile, gburugburu ili ha. Ha niile bụkwa ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, ndị e ji mma agha gbuo, nʼihi na ha mere ka oke egwu ha dị nʼala ndị dị ndụ.
“There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude. Their graves are around them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27 Ugbu a, e likọọla ha na ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, bụ ndị dike nʼagha, ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ndị ji ngwa agha ha gbadaa nʼime ili ha, ndị e hinyere ngwa agha ha nʼokpuru isi ha, ebe ọta ha dịkwasịrị nʼọkpụkpụ mgbe e tinyere ha nʼili.

They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads. Their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol )
28 “Ma gị onwe gị, bụ Fero, otu a ka a ga-esi gbajie gị, ị ga-edinakwa nʼetiti ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, gị na ndị e ji mma agha gbuo.
“But you will be broken amongst the uncircumcised, and will lie with those who are slain by the sword.
29 “Nʼebe ahụ ka Edọm na ndị eze ya, na ndịisi ya niile nọ. Nʼagbanyeghị ịdị ike ha, ha na ndị e ji mma agha gbuo tọgbọrọ nʼebe ahụ. Ha na ndị a na-ebighị ugwu so dinaa, bụ ndị na-arịdaru nʼolulu.
“There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword. They will lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
30 “Ndịisi nke mba ndị ugwu, na ndị Saịdọn niile nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ụjọ niile nke ha sitere nʼisiike ha menye ndị mmadụ egbochighị ha iketa oke nʼihere nke iso ndị e gburu egbu nwụọ. Ha soro ndị eji mma agha gbuo dinaa na-ebighị ugwu, buru ihere ha, ha na-arịdaru nʼolulu.
“There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain. They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might. They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31 “Fero na ndị agha ya niile ga-ahụ ndị a, ọ ga-enwe nkasiobi maka ndị ya niile, na usuu ndị agha ya niile ndị eji mma agha gbuo. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
“Pharaoh will see them and will be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,” says the Lord GOD.
32 Nʼagbanyeghị na emeela m ka ọ gbasaa ụjọ nʼala ndị dị ndụ, Fero na igwe mmadụ a niile ka a ga-eli nʼetiti ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, ya na ndị ejiri mma agha gbuo. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
“For I have put his terror in the land of the living. He will be laid amongst the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude,” says the Lord GOD.
