Izikeli 29

1 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno 10nima hiankafumofona 10ni ikantera 12fu knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.

Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],

2 Vahe'mofo mofavrea Izikieliga, Isipi kini ne' Fero'ma nemania kaziga kavugosa hunte'nenka, agrane Isipi vahe'mo'zanema havizama hanaza zamofo kasnampa kea,

“You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.

3 amanage hunka huo, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Antahio, Isipi kini ne' Feroga kagra tusi'a osifave krerfa tinka'afina masenanku Nagra hara regantegahue. Hagi kagra hunka Naeli tina nagra tro hunte'noankino, nagri ti me'ne hunka hu'nane.

Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”

4 Hianagi Nagra kagemazampafi hukua eri rusi hu'na, ana timpintira kavazuhu atresugeno ana timpima nemani'za nozamemo'za kaheheka'are akamarenesage'na ana maka zamavazu hu atitregahue.

But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.

5 Hagi kagri'ene mika nozameraminena tamavre'na hagege kokampi ome tamatregahue. Ana hanugeno vahe'mo'za ome zoraonkisageta afi zagagafane, namaramimofo ne'za segahaze.

I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.

6 E'ina hanuge'za Isipima mani'naza vahe'mo'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahiza hugahaze. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za kagrikura hankave azompa mani'nampi hu'za hu'nazanagi, hake azotagna huno hankaveka'a omane'ne.

When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.

7 Israeli vahe'mo'za azompama hiaza hu'za kagrira zamazampi kazerine'za nevazagenka, kagra ru hantaginka zamazampi vazinka zamare'nane. Kagrite'ma zamagenama rentintima hazagenka zamaza osu zamatranke'za traka hu'za mase'naze.

And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.

8 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nagra mago ha' vahe zamavare'na esuge'za bainati kazinteti maka vahe'ene zagagafanena eme zamahe vagaresigeno,

Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.

9 Isipi mopafina vahera omaninkeno haviza hugahie. E'ina hanuge'za Isipima mani'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra hunka, Naeli tina nagra tro huntogeno nagri ti me'ne hunka hunaku,

Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”

10 Nagra menina kagri'ene tinka'anena ha' reranantena, Isipi mopa Migdoli kazigati agafa huteno vuno Aswani kaziga vuteno, vu vava huno Itiopia mopama eme atrete uhanatisige'na mika eri haviza hanenkeno, vahera omanitfa hugahie.

Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.

11 Hagi 40'a kafufina magore huno vahe'mo'zane zagagafamozanena ana mopafina vano vanoa osugahaze.

For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.

12 Hagi mago'a moparamima haviza hu'za me'naza amu'nompina, Isipi mopa eri havizantafa hanugeno rankumatmimo'za 40'a kafufina haviza hu'za megahaze. Ana nehu'na Isipi vahetamina zamahe panani hanuge'za, ru vahe mopafine vahe kumapinena mago mago hu'za umani emani hugahaze.

Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].

13 Ana hugahazanagi Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a huno, Isipi vahetamima vahe kumategama umani emanima hu'nazana, 40'a kafuma agaterena, anantegatira ete zamavare atru hugahue.

But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.

14 Ana nehu'na kinama ome hunaregatira ete zamavare'na mopa agafazmire Patrosi kumate esuge'za, zamagi omane vahe emanigahaze.

I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.

15 Ana huno himamu'a omane kuma me'neno kote'ma hu'neaza huno hihamua erino ruga'a kumapi vahera zamagate oregahie. Hagi hanavezmia eri atresugeno magore huno mago'a kumatamina kegava huozmantegahie.

It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.

16 Israeli vahe'mo'za mago'enena tamagritegatira zamazama hu'zana eme e'origahaze. Na'ankure tamagri'ma eme tamantahige'za zamaza hu'zama eri'za kumi'ma hu'naza zanku zamagesa nentahiza anara hugahaze. E'ina nehu'za Nagrikura Ra Anumzana Agra Anumza mani'ne huza ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

[When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”

17 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno, 27nima hia kafumofona ese ikantera ese knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.

Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:

18 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikeliga, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a Tairi kumate vahe'enena tusi ha' nehuno sondia vahe'a ra eri'za zamige'za enerizageno zamanu zamazokamo'a pupunesegeno zamafumo'a pro hu'ne. Hianagi Tairi vahe'ma ha'ma huzmantazana mago knare mizana e'ori'naze.

“You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].

19 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, antahiho, menina Nagra Isipi vahe mopa Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa eri ami'nugeno, ana mopafima me'nea maka fenozana rohu'reno eri vagareno vugahie. E'i ana zama erisiana sondia vahe'mofo mi'za megahie.

Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.

20 Nagri kema amage'ma ante'za, sondia vahe'ane agranema amuhoma hu'za Tairi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hu'naza zante mizazamigna hu'na Isipi mopa zamigahue huno Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].

21 Hagi ana knazupa Israeli vahera hihamu hankavea nezami'na, Izikieliga kagira eri aka hanena zamagri amu'nompi maninenka nanekea zamasamigahane. E'ina hanuge'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
