Yexesqeel 30
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Wiilka Aadamow, wax sii sheeg, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Hoogga maalinta u baroorta!
“You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
3 Waayo, maalintii waa soo dhow dahay, maalintii Rabbigu waa soo dhow dahay, waana maalin daruuro madow leh, oo waxay noqon doontaa wakhtigii quruumaha.
That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
4 Oo seef baa Masar ku dul dhici doonta, oo Itoobiyana waxaa jiri doona xanuun weyn, markii kuwa la laayay ay Masar ku dhex dhacaan, oo markaasaa maalkeeda badan la qaadan doonaa oo aasaaskeedana waa la dumin doonaa.
[An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
5 Oo waxaa iyaga seef kula dhiman doona Itoobiya, iyo Fuud, iyo Luud, iyo dadka isku qasan oo dhan, iyo Kuub, iyo dadka dalka iyaga axdiga la dhigtay.
[Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
6 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa dalka Masar tiiriyaa way dhici doonaan, oo kibirka xooggiisuna hoos buu u soo dhici doonaa, oo tan iyo Migdol, iyo ilaa Seweeneeh ayay seef ugu le'an doonaan, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
7 Oo cidla bay ku ahaan doonaan waddammada cidlada ah dhexdooda, oo magaalooyinkeeduna waxay ku dhex jiri doonaan magaalooyinka baabba'ay.
Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
8 Markaan Masar dab ku dhejiyo oo ay caawimayaasheeda oo dhammu wada baabba'aan waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
9 Oo maalintaas waxaa iga ambabbixi doona wargeeysyo doonniyo fuushan inay cabsiiyaan kuwa reer Itoobiya oo aan waxba tuhunsanayn, oo waxaa iyaga ku soo kor degi doona xanuun weyn sidii wakhtigii Masar oo kale, waayo, bal eeg, waxyaalahaasu way imanayaan.
At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
10 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan ka dhigi doonaa in dadka badan ee Masar ay gacanta Nebukadresar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon ku dhammaadaan.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
11 Isaga iyo dadkiisa la jira oo ah kuwa ugu nac weyn ee quruumaha ayaa loo keeni doonaa inay dalka baabbi'iyaan, oo seefahooda ayay Masar ula bixi doonaan oo waxay dalka ka buuxin doonaan kuwa la laayay.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
12 Oo webiyaashana waan wada engejin doonaa, oo dalkana gacanta sharrowyada waan ka iibin doonaa, oo dalka iyo kuwa dhex degganba waxaan ku wada baabbi'in doonaa gacanta shisheeyayaasha. Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay.
I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
13 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Weliba sanamyada waan wada burburin doonaa, oo ekaamahana Nof baan ka baabbi'in doonaa, oo mar dambena ma uu jiri doono amiir dalka Masar u taliyaa, oo dalka Masarna cabsi baan ku soo dejin doonaa.
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
14 Oo Fatroos ayaan cidla ka dhigi doonaa, Socanna dab baan qabadsiin doonaa, oo Noona xukummo baan ku soo dejin doonaa.
I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
15 Oo waxaan cadhadayda ku dul shubi doonaa Siin oo ah qalcadda Masar, oo dadka badan oo Noona waan baabbi'in doonaa.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
16 Oo Masarna dab baan ka dhex shidi doonaa. Siin xanuun weyn bay heli doontaa, Noona waa la wada burburin doonaa, oo Nofna maalinta oo dhan waa la cidhiidhin doonaa.
I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
17 Barbaarrada Aawen iyo Fiibesed seef bay ku le'an doonaan, oo magaalooyinkaasna maxaabiis ahaan baa loo kaxaysan doonaa.
[Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
18 Oo Texafneheesna maalintaa ku madoobaan doonta, markaan harqoodyada Masar halkaas ku jejebin doono, kibirka xooggeeduna wuu ka dhex baabbi'i doonaa, oo iyada daruur baa qarin doonta, oo gabdhaheedana maxaabiis ahaan baa loo kaxaysan doonaa.
It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
19 Sidaasaan Masar xukummo ugu soo dejin doonaa, oo waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
20 Oo haddana sannaddii kow iyo tobnaad, bisheedii kowaad, maalinteedii toddobaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid isagoo leh,
Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
21 Wiilka Aadamow, Fircoon oo ah boqorka Masar gacantiisaan jebiyey, oo bal eeg, lama kabin si ay u bogsato, oo waxba laguma duubin in xoog loo yeelo si ay seef u qaaddo aawadeed.
“You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
22 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu col baan ku ahay Fircoon oo ah boqorka Masar, oo gacmihiisana waan jejebin doonaa, tan xoogga leh iyo tii jabtayba, oo weliba waxaan ka dhigi doonaa in seeftu gacantiisa ka dhacdo.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23 Oo Masriyiintana waxaan ku kala eryi doonaa quruumaha dhexdooda, waddammadana waan ku kala dhex firdhin doonaa.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
24 Oo xoog baan u yeeli doonaa gacmaha boqorka Baabuloon, oo seeftaydana gacantiisaan u dhiibi doonaa, laakiinse Fircoon gacmihiisaan jejebin doonaa, oo hortiisuu kaga cabaadi doonaa sida nin dhaawac ahu uu u cabaado oo kale.
[It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
25 Laakiinse gacmaha boqorka Baabuloon kor baan u qaadi doonaa, oo gacmaha Fircoonna hoos bay u dhici doonaan, oo markaan seeftayda gacanta boqorka Baabuloon u dhiibo, oo uu dalka Masar ku dul fidiyo, waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
26 Oo Masriyiinta waxaan ku kala eryi doonaa quruumaha dhexdooda, waddammadana waan ku kala dhex firdhin doonaa, oo waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
