Ehekiera 30

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

The word of the LORD came again 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, Alas 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, even the day of the LORD [is] near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

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 great pain shall be in Cush, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

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.

Cush, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Kub, and the men of the land that is in league, 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; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

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 countries [that are] desolate, and her cities 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 have set a fire in Egypt, and [when] all her helpers 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 me in ships to make the careless Cushites afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for lo, it cometh.

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 also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 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 terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and 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 rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand 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 cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear 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 make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

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 my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

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 set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.

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

The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] 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.

At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

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

Thus will I 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 Pharaoh king of Egypt; and lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to 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 [am] against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was 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 scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse 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 put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].

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.

But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out 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 scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
