Ezekiela 30

1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

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

2 Ry zanak’ olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Midradradradrà ianareo! Indrisy ny andro!

“Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’

3 Fa efa antomotra ny andro, eny, antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah, dia andro mandrahona sy fotoana hamaliana ny jentilisa izany.

For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.

4 Ary hisy sabatra tonga any Egypta sy fangorohoroana fatratra any Etiopia, raha miampatrampatra any Egypta ny voatrabaka; Ary ho lasa ny hareny, sady ho rava ny fanorenany.

And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.

5 Etiopia sy Libya sy Lydia sy ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra sy ny Kobiana sy ny zanaky ny tany vita fanekena dia hiaraka ho lavon-tsabatra aminy.

Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.

6 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ho lavo koa izay manohana an’ i Egypta, ary hietry ny fiavonavonan’ ny heriny; Hatrany Migdola ka hatrany Syena no ho lavon-tsabatra izy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.

7 Ho rava dia ho rava izy, ary ny tanànany ho lao dia ho lao.

And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.

8 Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha mampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho, ka torotoro izay rehetra manampy azy.

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.

9 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy iraka mivoaka avy amiko handeha an-tsambo hampahatahotra ny Etiopiana izay mitoetra tsy manahinahy, ka dia hangorohoro tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro namelezana an’ i Egypta izy; Fa, indro, avy izany.

In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.

10 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ny tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, no ho entiko mahafoana ny horakorak’ i Egypta.

Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.

11 Izy sy ny vahoakany manaraka azy, dia ireo masiaka indrindra amin’ ny firenena, no ho entina handrava ny tany; Ary hanatsoaka ny sabany hamely an’ i Egypta ireny, ka ho feno faty ny tany.

He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.

12 Hahatankina an’ i Neily sy hivarotra ny tany ho eo an-tànan’ ny ratsy fanahy Aho, ary ny tanan’ ny fahavalo no ho entiko mandrava ny tany mbamin’ izay rehetra ao aminy; Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.

And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.

13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Horavako koa ny sampy, ary hatsahatro ny andriamani-tsi-izy ao Memfisa; ary tsy hisy mpanjaka intsony amin’ ny tany Egypta;

Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.

14 Handrava an’ i Patrosa Aho sy hampirehitra afo any Zoana, ary hotanterahiko ny fitsarana an’ i No;

And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.

15 Hampidina ny fahatezerako amin’ i Sina, fiarovana mafy any Egypta, Aho, ary hofongorako ny vahoaka be any No.

And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.

16 Hampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho; Hiolanolana fatratra Sina noho ny faharariany; Ho banga No, ary Memifisa dia hasian’ ny fahavalo antoandro.

And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.

17 Ny zatovon’ i Avena sy Pi-beseta ho lavon-tsabatra, sady ho lasan-ko babo ny ao.

The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.

18 Any Tapanesa dia ho maizina ny andro, raha tapahiko any ny ziogan’ i Egypta, ary hitsahatra ny fiavonavonan’ ny heriny; Ho voasaron’ ny rahona izy, sady ho lasan-ko babo ny zananivavy.

And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.

19 Toy izany no hanatanterahako ny fitsarana an’ i Egypta; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.

And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

20 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

21 Ry zanak’ olona, ny sandrin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, dia efa notorotoroiko, ary he! tsy noharatoina mba ho sitrana izy, na nofehezina lamba, mba hanatanjaka azy hahatan-tsabatra.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.

22 Koa izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah Tompo hoe: Indro, efa hamely an’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, Aho, ka hotorotoroiko ny sandriny, na ny mbola matanjaka, na ny efa torotoro; Ary hampilatsaka ny sabatra eny an-tànany Aho.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.

23 Dia haeliko ho any amin’ ny firenena samy hafa ny Egyptiana, ka hahahako any amin’ ny tany samy hafa.

And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.

24 Fa hampahatanjahiko kosa ny sandrin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ka hataoko eny an-tànany ny sabatro; Fa hotorotoroiko ny sandrin’ i Farao, dia hitrona eo anatrehany toy ny fitronan’ ny voatrabaka izy.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.

25 Eny, hampahatanjahiko ny sandrin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia hiraviravy ny sandrin’ i Farao: Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha hataoko eny an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny sabatro, ka haingainy hamelezana ny tany Egypta.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.

26 Dia haeliko ho any amin’ ny firenena samy hafa ny Egyptiana ka hahahako any amin’ ny tany samy hafa; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.

And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
