Ezekiel 30
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tún tọ̀ mí wá: wí pé:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí o sì wí pé: ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Hu, kí o sì wí pé, “Ó ṣe fún ọjọ́ náà!”
“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 Nítorí ọjọ́ náà súnmọ́ tòsí àní ọjọ́ Olúwa súnmọ́ tòsí, ọjọ́ tí ọjọ́ ìkùùkuu ṣú dúdú, àsìkò ìparun fún àwọn kèfèrí.
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 Idà yóò wá sórí Ejibiti ìrora ńlá yóò sì wá sórí Kuṣi. Nígbà tí àwọn tí a pa yóò ṣubú ní Ejibiti wọn yóò kò ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì wó lulẹ̀.
[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 Kuṣi àti Puti, Libia, Ludi àti gbogbo Arabia, Kubu àti àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà tí ó mulẹ̀ yóò ṣubú nípa idà pẹ̀lú Ejibiti.
[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 “‘Èyí yìí ní Olúwa wí: “‘Àwọn àlejò Ejibiti yóò ṣubú agbára ìgbéraga rẹ yóò kùnà láti Migdoli títí dé Siene, wọn yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú nínú rẹ; ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
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 Wọn yóò sì wà lára àwọn ilẹ̀ tí ó di ahoro, ìlú rẹ yóò sì wà ní ara àwọn ìlú tí ó di ahoro.
Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
8 Lẹ́yìn náà wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ní Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá gbé iná kalẹ̀ ní Ejibiti tí gbogbo àwọn olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ bá parun.
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 “‘Ní ọjọ́ náà oníṣẹ́ yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ mi jáde nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi láti dẹ́rùbà Kuṣi tí ó wà nínú àlàáfíà. Ìrora yóò wá sórí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti ọjọ́ ìparun Ejibiti. Kíyèsi i, ó dé.
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 “‘Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èmi yóò mú òpin bá ọ̀gọ̀ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn Ejibiti láti ọwọ́ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli.
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 Òun àti àwọn ológun rẹ̀ ẹ̀rù àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ní a o mú wá láti pa ilẹ̀ náà run. Wọn yóò fa idà wọn yọ sí Ejibiti ilẹ̀ náà yóò sì kún fún àwọn tí a pa.
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 Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn odò Naili gbẹ, Èmi yóò sì ta ilẹ̀ náà fún àwọn ènìyàn búburú: láti ọwọ́ àwọn àjèjì ènìyàn, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ náà àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wá nínú rẹ ṣòfò. Èmi Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ́.
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 “‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èmi yóò pa àwọn òrìṣà run, Èmi yóò sì mú kí òpin dé bá ère gbígbẹ́ ni Memfisi. Kò ní sí ọmọ-aládé mọ́ ní Ejibiti, Èmi yóò mú kí ìbẹ̀rù gba gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
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 Èmi yóò sì mú kí Paturosi di ahoro, èmi yóò fi iná sí Ṣoani, èmi yóò sì fi ìyà jẹ Tebesi.
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 Èmi yóò tú ìbínú mi jáde sórí Pelusiumu ìlú odi Ejibiti èmi yóò sì ké àkójọpọ̀ Tebesi kúrò.
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 Èmi yóò ti iná bọ Ejibiti Pelusiumu yóò japoró ní ìrora. Ìjì líle yóò jà ní Tebesi Memfisi yóò wà ìpọ́njú ní ìgbà gbogbo.
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 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin ní Heliopolisi àti Bubasiti yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú wọn yóò sì kó àwọn ìlú wọn ní ìgbèkùn.
[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 Ojú ọjọ́ yóò ṣókùnkùn ní Tafanesi nígbà tí mo bá já àjàgà Ejibiti kúrò; níbẹ̀ agbára iyì rẹ̀ yóò dópin wọn yóò fi ìkùùkuu bò ó àwọn abúlé rẹ ní wọn yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
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 Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò mú ki ìjìyà wá sórí Ejibiti, wọn yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
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 Ní ọjọ́ keje oṣù kìn-ín-ní ọdún kọkànlá ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá,
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 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, Èmi ti ṣẹ́ apá Farao ọba Ejibiti. A kò ì tí ì di apá náà papọ̀ láti mu kí ó san, a kò sì ti di i si àárín igi pẹlẹbẹ kí o lè ni agbára tó láti di idà mú.
“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 Nítorí náà, báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi lòdì sí Farao ọba Ejibiti. Èmi yóò sẹ́ apá rẹ̀ méjèèjì, èyí tí ó dára àti èyí tí a ti ṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú, yóò sì mú kí idà bọ́ sọnù ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
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 Èmi yóò sì fọ́n àwọn ènìyàn Ejibiti ká sí àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
24 Èmi yóò mú kí apá ọba Babeli ní agbára, èmi yóò sì fi idà mi sí ọwọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò ṣẹ́ apá Farao, yóò sì kérora níwájú rẹ̀ bí ọkùnrin tí a sá ní àṣápa.
[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 Èmi yóò mú kí apá ọba Babeli lé, ṣùgbọ́n apá Farao yóò sì rọ. Nígbà náà wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí mo bá mú idà mi sí ọwọ́ ọba Babeli yóò sì fi idà náà kọlu Ejibiti.
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 Èmi yóò fọ́n àwọn ara Ejibiti ká sí àárín orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká sí àárín orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká sí gbogbo ilẹ̀. Nígbà náà wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.”
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].’”
