Ezekiel 30
1 Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Anak ti tao, agipadtoka ket ibagam, 'kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Idung-awmo, “Asi pay ti dumteng nga aldaw!”
“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!
3 Asidegen ti aldaw! Asidegen ti aldaw para kenni Yahweh! Aldawto daytoy dagiti ulep, tiempo a mapasamakto dagiti nakabutbuteng a banbanag kadagiti nasion!
The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.
4 Kalpasanna, umayto ti kampilan a maibusor iti Egipto, ket addanto panagladingit idiay Cus inton maidasay idiay Egipto dagiti napapatay a tattao—inton alaenda ti kinabaknangna, ken inton madadael dagiti pundasionna!
A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.
5 Ti Cus, Libya, ken Lydia ken dagiti amin a ganggannaet, agraman dagiti tattao a maibilang iti katulagan—mapasagdanto amin babaen iti kampilan!
Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.
6 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Mapasagto ngarud dagiti mangtultulong iti Egipto, ken mapukawto ti kinatangsit ti pigsana. Mapasagto dagiti soldadoda manipud Migdol agingga iti Siene babaen iti kampilan! —Kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh!
This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
7 Maupaydanto iti nagtetengngaan dagiti nabaybay-an a daga, ken maibilangto dagiti siudadda kadagiti nadadael a siudad!
Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.
8 Ket maammoandanto a Siak ni Yahweh, inton mangpasgedak iti apuy iti Egipto, ken inton madadael dagiti amin a mangtultulong kenkuana!
Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.
9 Iti dayta nga aldaw, manipud iti sangoanak, rummuarto dagiti mensahero a nakabarko tapno butbutngenda ti natalged a Cus, ket addanto panagladingit kadakuada iti aldaw a mapasamak iti Egipto dagiti nakabutbuteng a banbanag. Ta adtoy! Umadanin daytoy!
At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!
10 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Gibusakto dagiti adu a tattao ti Egipto babaen iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia.
This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.
11 Isuna ken dagiti armadana, dagiti mangbutbuteng kadagiti nasion ket maiyegto a mangdadael iti daga; asutendanto dagiti kampilanda maibusor iti Egipto ken punnoenda ti daga kadagiti natay a tattao!
He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.
12 Pagbalinekto a namaga a daga dagiti karayan, ket ilakokto ti daga kadagiti nadangkes a tattao. Pagbalinekto a langalang ti daga ken ti amin nga adda iti daytoy babaen iti ima dagiti ganggannaet! Siak a ni Yahweh, ti nangipakaammo iti daytoy!
I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.
13 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Dadaelekto dagiti didiosen, ken gibusakto dagiti awan serserbina a didiosen ti Memfis. Awanto iti prinsipe iti daga ti Egipto, ket butbutngekto ti daga ti Egipto!
This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.
14 Ket pagbalinekto a langalang ti Patros ken mangpasgedak iti apuy idiay Zoan, ken ukomekto ti Tebes.
I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.
15 Ta ibukbukkonto ti pungtotko iti Pelusium, ti sarikedked ti Egipto, ken gibusakto dagiti adu a tattao ti Tebes.
I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.
16 Kalpasanna, mangpasgedakto iti apuy idiay Egipto. Agladingitto iti nakaro ti Pelusium, ken madadaelto ti Tebes. Inaldawto nga adda kabusor ti Memfis.
I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.
17 Mapasagto dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ti Heliopolis ken Bubastis babaen iti kampilan, ken masakupto dagiti siudadda.
The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.
18 Idiay Tafnes, iyimutto ti aldaw ti lawagna inton dadaelek sadiay ti sangol ti Egipto, ken agpatingganto ti kinatangsit ti pigsana. Addanto ulep a manglinged kenkuana, ken matiliwto a kas balud dagiti annakna a babbai.
It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.
19 Ipatungpalkonto ti panangukomko idiay Egipto tapno maammoanda a siak ni Yahweh.'''
This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
20 Ket napasamak nga iti maika-sangapulo ket maysa a tawen iti maika-pito nga aldaw iti umuna a bulan, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Anak ti tao, tinukkolko ti takkiag ni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto. Kitaem! Saan daytoy a nabedbedan ken saan a makaawat iti agas; awan ti makabael a mangbedbed iti daytoy, isu a saan a napigsa a mangiggem iti kampilan.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.
22 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, 'Kitaem, ni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto! Ta tukkolekto ti takkiagna, ti napigsa ken ti natukkol, ken tinnagekto ti kampilan manipud iti imana.
So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.
23 Ket iwarawarakto ti Egipto kadagiti nasion ken iwaraskonto ida kadagiti daga.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
24 Papigsaekto dagiti takkiag ti ari ti Babilonia ken ipaiggemko ti kampilanko iti imana tapno madangrak ti takkiag ni Faraon. Agasugto isuna iti sangoanan ti ari ti Babilonia a kas iti panagasug ti matmatay a tao.
I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.
25 Ta papigsaekto dagiti takkiag ti ari ti Babilonia, bayat a kumapkapuy dagiti ima ni Faraon. Ket maammoandanto a siak ni Yahweh, inton ipaiggemko ti kampilanko iti ima ti ari ti Babilonia; ta rautennanto ti daga ti Egipto babaen iti daytoy.
I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.
26 Isu nga iwarawarakto ti Egipto kadagiti nasion ken iwarasko ida kadagiti daga. Ket maammoandanto a siak ni Yahweh!'''
When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
