Ezekiela 29
1 Amy andro faha-folo-ro’ambi’ i volam-paha-folo’ i taom-paha-foloy le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ondatio, ampañatrefo amy Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime ty lahara’o vaho mitokia ama’e naho amy Mitsraime iaby.
“Son of man, face towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and the whole of Egypt.
3 Itaroño ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Oniño te miatreatre azo iraho ry Parò, mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, ty fañaneñe jabajaba mitsalalampatse añivo’ o saka’eo, manao ty hoe: Ahiko o sàkakoo, fa namboareko ho ahy.
Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying in your rivers, who says, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it myself.’
4 Aa le hajoko am-balañorà’o ao ty porengotse vaho hampipetaheko an-tsisi’o eo o fian-tsaka’oo, le hakareko boak’ añivo’ o saka’oo rekets’ o fian-tsaka’o mipiteke amo sisi’o iabio,
I'm going to put hooks in your jaws and make the fish in your river stick to your scales. I will pull you up out of your river, and all the fish will stick to your scales.
5 vaho hahifiko an-dratraratra añe, ihe naho o fian-tsaka’o iabio hideboñe a’ moka añe, tsy hatontoñe, tsy havory; fa natoloko ho fihina’ o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo.
I will throw you and the fish away, leaving you in the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left in the open. It won't be collected or taken to be buried. I'll leave you as food for wild animals and birds of prey.
6 Ie amy zay ho fohi’ ze hene mpimoneñe e Mitsraime ao te Izaho Iehovà, amy t’ie nitahom-bararata amy anjomba’ Israeley.
Then everyone in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. When you had to deal with the people of Israel you were like a flimsy walking stick made from a reed.
7 Rinambe’ iareo am-pitàn-drehe le nipekañe nandriatse ty fità’ iareo iaby; aa ie niato ama’o le nifolake nampikoletrake o toha’ iareoo.
When Israel grabbed hold of you, you split apart, damaging their shoulder. When they leaned on you, you broke, putting their backs out.
8 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao te hendesako fibara hañitoako ze ondaty naho hare ama’o ao.
So this is what the Lord God says: I will attack you with a sword and kill both people and animals.
9 Le ho bangìñe naho koake ty tane Mitsraime; vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, amy ty natao’o ty hoe, Ahiko i sakay, izaho ty nañoreñe aze,
Egypt will become an empty wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Because you said, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it,’
10 le oniño te atreatrèko irehe, naho o saka’oo, vaho hampangoakoaheko ty Mitsraime ho vahiny boak’ am-pitilik’abo’ i Sieney pak’añ’efe-tane’ i Kose añe.
that's why I'm condemning you and your river. I will ruin Egypt, making it into an empty wasteland all the way from Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, and up to the border with Cush.
11 Leo fandia’ ondaty tsy hiranga ao; tsy ho rangaen-tombom-biby, vaho tsy ho amam-pimoneñe am-para’ ty efa-polo taoñe.
No one, human or animal, will travel that way or live there for forty years.
12 Le hanoeko bangìñe añivo’ o fifeheañe vahinio ty Mitsraime, naho ho koak’ añivo’ o rova narotsakoo o rova’eo; naho hampiparatsiaheko añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatio añe o nte-Mitsraimeo naho havitavitako amo fifeheañeo,
I will make Egypt more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will lie in ruins for forty years among all the other ruined towns. I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
13 le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Naho modo i taoñe efa-polo rey le hatontoko boak’ am’ ondaty nampivarakaihako iareo o nte-Mitsraimeo.
However, this is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the different countries where they were scattered.
14 Le hampibaliheko ty fandrohizañe i Mitsraime, naho hampoliko mb’an-tane’ Patrose mb’eo, mb’an-tane fimoneña’ iareo, f’ie ho fifiheañe mireke.
I will bring Egypt out of captivity and take them back to the land of Pathros, where they originally came from. Their kingdom will be insignificant.
15 Hireke re te amo fifelehañe ila’eo; tsy hañonjom-batañe ka ambone’ o fifeheañe ila’eo, fa hafotsako tsy hifehea’ iareo o kilakila’ ndatio ka.
Egypt will be the lowest of kingdoms and won't ever be more important than other nations again. I will bring Egypt down so that it won't ever be able to rule over the nations again.
16 Toe tsy ho fiatoa’ ty anjomba’ Israele ka re, hampitiahie’e o hakeo’eo, ie orihe’ iereo fihaino, fa ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà Talè.
The people of Israel won't ever trust in Egypt again; instead they will be reminded them of their sin when they turned to the Egyptians for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”
17 Aa ie amy andro valoha’ i volam-baloha’ i taom-paha-roapolo-fito-ambiy, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe:
On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 O ana’ondatio, Nampitoroñe’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele fitoroñam-bey amy Tsaore o lahin-defo’eo; songa peake o añambone’eo naho sindre nivoloseñe o soro’eo; fe tsy nitambezen-dre ndra i lia-rai’ey ty amy Tsore, amy fitoloñañe nanoe’e ama’ey.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army work really hard in the siege against Tyre. The soldiers had their hair worn off their heads, and their shoulders rubbed raw. However, he and his army didn't gain any benefit from Tyre for all the work they did in attacking it.
19 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ingo, atoloko am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele ty tane’ Mitsraime; le hendese’e o valobohò’eo naho ho kopahe’e o vara’eo, vaho ho rambese’e o hare’eo; izay ty ho tamben-dahin-defo’e.
So this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who will seize everything valuable. He will loot the country, robbing it to pay his army.
20 Fa natoloko aze ty tane Mitsraime ty amy fitoloñañe nitoroña’ey, amy te nitoroñe ahy hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
I'm rewarding him for all his work by giving him Egypt because the work they did was for me, declares the Lord God.
21 Amy andro zay, le hampitàroke ty tsifa’ i anjomba’ Israeley iraho, le hatoloko azo ty fisokafam-palie añivo’ iareo ao; vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà.
At that time I will give power back to the people of Israel and I will help you speak to them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
