Ehekiera 30
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
The LORD’s word 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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Wail, ‘Alas for 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 LORD’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a 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.
A sword will come on Egypt, and anguish will be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt. They take away her multitude, and her foundations are 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.
“‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will 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.
“‘The LORD says: “They also who uphold Egypt will fall. The pride of her power will come down. They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh,” says 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.
“They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities will be among 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.
They will know that I am the LORD when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are 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 messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”
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.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will 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.
I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of foreigners. 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.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt. 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.
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on 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.
I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt. 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.
I will set a fire in Egypt Sin will be in great anguish. No will be broken up. Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime.
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 will fall by the sword. They will 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 will withdraw itself, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. The pride of her power will cease in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
19 Heoi ka mahia e ahau he whakawa ki Ihipa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will 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,
In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the LORD’s word 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. Behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it may become 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken. 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.
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.
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before the king of Babylon with the groaning of a mortally 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.
I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out on 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.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
