Ezekiel 29
1 Ní ọjọ́ kejìlá, oṣù kẹwàá, ọdún kẹwàá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọjú sí Farao ọba Ejibiti kí ó sì sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí i àti sí gbogbo Ejibiti.
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.
3 Sọ̀rọ̀, kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èmi lòdì sí ọ, Farao ọba Ejibiti ìwọ ẹ̀mí búburú ńlá inú òkun tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ sí àárín àwọn odò ṣíṣàn rẹ. Èyí tí ó sọ wí pé, “Tèmi ni odò Naili; èmi ni ó sì ṣe é fún ara mi.”
Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’
4 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ìwọ̀ mú ẹnu rẹ èmi yóò sì mú ẹja inú odò rẹ gbogbo lẹ̀ mọ́ ìpẹ́ ara rẹ. Èmi yóò fà ọ́ síta kúrò láàrín àwọn odò rẹ, àti gbogbo ẹja odò rẹ yóò lẹ̀ mọ́ ìpẹ́ ara rẹ.
But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.
5 Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ nù sí aginjù ìwọ àti gbogbo ẹja inú odò rẹ: ìwọ yóò ṣubú sí gbangba oko a kì yóò sì ṣà ọ́ jọ tàbí gbé ọ sókè. Èmi ti fi ọ ṣe oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹranko igbó àti fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run láti jẹ.
And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.
6 Nígbà náà gbogbo àwọn olùgbé ni Ejibiti yóò mọ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa. “‘Ìwọ ti jẹ́ ọ̀pá ìyè fún ilé Israẹli.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Nígbà tí wọn fi ọwọ́ agbára wọn dì ọ́ mú. Ìwọ fọ́, ìwọ sì ya gbogbo èjìká wọn; nígbà tí wọn fi ara tì ọ́, ìwọ sẹ́, ìwọ sì mú gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn gbọ̀n.
When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.
8 “‘Nítorí náà, èyí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi, Èmi yóò mú idà kan wá sórí rẹ tí yóò sì gé ènìyàn àti ẹran kúrò nínú rẹ.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.
9 Ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò di aginjù àti ahoro, nígbà náà ní wọn yóò sì mọ̀ wí pé èmi ní Olúwa. “‘Nítorí tí ìwọ wí pé, “Tèmi ni odò Naili, Èmi ni mo ṣe é,”
And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’
10 nítorí náà, mo lòdì sí ọ àti sí àwọn odò rẹ, èmi yóò sì mú kí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti di píparun àti ahoro, pátápátá, láti Migdoli lọ dé Siene, dé ààlà ilẹ̀ Kuṣi.
Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 Kò sí ẹsẹ̀ ènìyàn tàbí tí ẹranko tí yóò gba ibẹ̀ kọjá; ẹni kankan kò ní gbé ibẹ̀ fún ogójì ọdún.
The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 Èmi yóò sọ ilẹ̀ Ejibiti di ọ̀kan ní àárín àwọn ìlú tí ó di ahoro, fún ogójì ọdún, Èmi yóò sì fọ́n àwọn ara Ejibiti ká sáàárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká sáàárín gbogbo ilẹ̀.
And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.
13 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní òpin ogójì ọdún, èmi yóò ṣa àwọn ará Ejibiti jọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn níbi tí a fọ́n wọn ká sí.
For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.
14 Èmi yóò sì tún mú ìgbèkùn Ejibiti padà bọ̀, èmi yóò sì dá wọn padà sí ilẹ̀ Paturosi, ilẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn. Wọn yóò wà níbẹ̀ bí ìjọba tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 Ibẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ìjọba tí ó rẹlẹ̀ jùlọ nínú àwọn ìjọba, kì yóò sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga mọ́ sórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè: nítorí èmi ni ó dín wọn kù, tiwọn kì yóò fi ṣe olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù mọ́.
It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.
16 Ejibiti kí yóò sì jẹ orísun ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé fún ilé Israẹli mọ́ ṣùgbọ́n, yóò jẹ́ ìrántí fún àìṣedéédéé wọn, nígbà tí yóò bá wò wọ́n fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Nígbà náà, wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè.’”
And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
17 Ó sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kìn-ín-ní, ọdún kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli mú kí ogun rẹ sin ìrú ńlá fún Tire. Gbogbo orí pá, àti gbogbo èjìká bó, síbẹ̀, òun àti àwọn ogun rẹ̀, kò rí owó ọ̀yà gbà láti Tire fún wa, fún ìrú ti a ti sìn.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.
19 Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò fi Ejibiti fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, òun yóò sì kó ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ. Òun yóò bo ilé, yóò sì ṣe ìkógun ilẹ̀ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó iṣẹ́ tí a san fún ológun rẹ̀.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army
20 Èmi ti fi Ejibiti fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí èrè wàhálà rẹ̀ nítorí òun àti àwọn ológun rẹ ṣe é fún mi, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.
21 “Ní ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò mú kí ìwo Israẹli ru jáde, èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹnu ọ̀rọ̀ ní àárín wọn. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.”
In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
