Ehekiera 30

1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

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

2 E te tama a te tangata, poropiti, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Aue koutou, Taukiri e, taua ra nei!

Son of man prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Howl ye, Woe, woe to the day:

3 Kua tata mai hoki te ra, te ra o Ihowa kua tata mai, he rangi tukupu, ko te wa ia o nga iwi.

For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the nations.

4 A ka tae mai te hoari ki Ihipa, ka nui ano te mamae o Etiopia, ina hinga nga tupapaku ki Ihipa; a ka riro atu i a ratou ona mano, ka wahia hoki ona turanga.

And the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be destroyed.

5 Ko Etiopia, ko Putu, ko Ruru, ko te iwi whakauru katoa, ko Kupu, ko nga tangata ano o te whenua o te kawenata, ka hinga ngatahi ratou i te hoari.

Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the crowd, and Chub, and the children of the land of the covenant, shall fall with them by the sword.

6 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Ka hinga ano nga kaiawhina o Ihipa; ka riro iho ano te whakapehapeha o tona kaha; ka hinga ratou i te hoari i reira, i te taumaihi atu o Hewene, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of hosts.

7 Ka noho kau noa iho ratou i waenganui o nga whenua tuhea, ka tu ano ona pa i waenganui i nga pa kua ururuatia.

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

8 A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina tukua e ahau he ahi ki Ihipa, ina whakamotitia ona kaiawhina katoa.

And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed.

9 I taua ra ka haere atu nga karere i toku aroaro i runga i nga kaipuke, ki te whakawehi i nga Etiopiana kahore nei e ohooho; ka nui ano to ratou mamae, ka rite ki to te ra o Ihipa: nana, te haere mai nei!

In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come.

10 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka meinga ano e ahau te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona hei whakamutu i nga mano tini o Ihipa.

Thus saith the Lord God: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon.

11 Ka kawea mai ia, ratou ano ko tona iwi, ko te hunga nanakia o nga iwi, ki te huna i te whenua: ka maunu ano a ratou hoari ki Ihipa, a ka kapi te whenua i te tupapaku.

He and his people with him, the strongest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords upon Egypt: and shall fill the land with the slain.

12 Ka maroke ano nga awa i ahau, ka hokona atu ano te whenua ki te ringa o te hunga kino: ka ururua ano i ahau te whenua, me ona tini mea, mea rawa ki te ringa o nga tautangata: naku, na Ihowa te kupu.

And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it.

13 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka ngaro i ahau nga whakapakoko, ka mutu ano i ahau nga whakaahua o Nopo; kore ake e mea mai he rangatira i te whenua o Ihipa: ka tukua ano e ahau he wehi ki te whenua o Ihipa.

Thus saith the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols, and I will make an end of the idols of Memphis: and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will cause a terror in the land of Egypt.

14 Ka ururua ano i ahau a Patoro, ka tukua he ahi ki Toana, ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa ki No.

And I will destroy the land of Phatures, and will make a fire in Taphnis, and will execute judgments in Alexandria.

15 Ka ringihia ano e ahau toku weriweri ki Hini, ki to Ihipa kaha; ka hatepea atu ano e ahau nga mano tini o No.

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

16 Ka tukua ano e ahau he ahi ki Ihipa; ka nui noa atu te mamae o Hini, ka haehaea putia a No; ka whai hoariri ano a Nopo i ia ra, i ia ra.

And I will make a fire in Egypt: Pelusium shall be in pain like a woman in labour, and Alexandria shall be laid waste, and in Memphis there shall be daily distresses.

17 Ka hinga nga taitama o Awene, o Pipehete i te hoari: a ka riro enei pa i te whakarau.

The young men of Heliopolis, and of Bubastus shall fall by the sword, and they themselves shall go into captivity.

18 Ka whakapouritia ano te ra ki Tehapanehe ina pakaru i ahau nga ioka o Ihipa ki reira: a ka mutu i roto i a ia te whakapehapeha o tona kaha: ko ia ano ka taupokina e te kapua, ka riro ana tamahine i te whakarau.

And in Taphnis the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the sceptres of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be led into captivity.

19 Heoi ka mahia e ahau he whakawa ki Ihipa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

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

20 Na, i te tekau ma tahi o nga tau, i te marama tuatahi, i te whitu o nga ra o te marama, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,

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

21 E te tama a te tangata, kua whati i ahau te ringa o Parao kingi o Ihipa; nana, kahore i takaia hei meatanga iho mo te rongoa, kahore i meatia iho te takai hei takai, e kaha ai ki te pupuri hoari.

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharao king of Egypt: and behold it is not bound up, to be healed, to be tied up with clothes, and swathed with linen, that it might recover strength, and hold the sword.

22 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mo Parao kingi o Ihipa, ka whati ano i ahau ona ringa, te mea kaha, te mea ano i whati; ka meinga ano e ahau te hoari kia marere i tona ringa.

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break into pieces his strong arm, which is already broken: and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand:

23 Ka marara ano i ahau nga Ihipiana ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ka titaria ki nga whenua.

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

24 Ka kaha ano i ahau nga ringa o te kingi o Papurona, ka hoatu ano e ahau taku hoari ki tona ringa: ka whati ia i ahau nga ringa o Parao, a no te tangata i werohia nga aue e aue ai ia ki tona aroaro.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and will put my sword in his hand: and I will break the arms of Pharao, and they shall groan bitterly being slain before his face.

25 A ka kaha i ahau nga ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka tukua iho nga ringa o Parao; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina hoatu e ahau taku hoari ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka whakatorona atu e ia ki runga ki te whenua o Ihipa.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fall: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it forth upon the land of Egypt.

26 Ka marara ano i ahau nga Ihipiana ki roto ki nga iwi, ka titaria ki nga whenua; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

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