Ezekiel 32

1 Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kejìlá, ọdún kejìlá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, ṣe ìpohùnréré ẹkún nítorí Farao ọba Ejibiti kí o sì wí fún un: “‘Ìwọ dàbí kìnnìún láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà; ìwọ dàbí ohun ẹ̀mí búburú inú àwọn omi okun to ń lọ káàkiri inú àwọn odò rẹ, ìwọ fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ tẹ omi láti mú kí àwọn odò ní ẹrẹ̀.

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.

3 “‘Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ ìpéjọ ènìyàn èmi yóò da àwọ̀n mi bò ọ́ wọn yóò sì fà ọ́ sókè nínú àwọ̀n mi.

But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.

4 Èmi yóò jù ọ́ sí orí ilẹ̀ èmi yóò sì fà ọ́ sókè sí orí pápá gbangba. Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí gbogbo ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run ṣe àtìpó ní orí rẹ. Gbogbo àwọn ẹranko ayé yóò fi ìwọra gbé ara wọn lórí rẹ.

They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.

5 Èmi yóò tan ẹran-ara rẹ ká sórí àwọn òkè gíga ìyókù ara rẹ ní wọn yóò fi kún àwọn àárín àwọn òkè gíga.

I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.

6 Ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ ti ń sàn ní èmi yóò sì fi rin ilẹ̀ náà gbogbo ọ̀nà sí orí àwọn òkè gíga, àwọn àlàfo jíjìn ní wọn yóò kún fún ẹran-ara rẹ.

I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

7 Nígbà tí mo bá fọ́n ọ jáde, èmi yóò pa ọ̀run dé àwọn ìràwọ̀ wọn yóò sì ṣókùnkùn; èmi yóò sì fi ìkùùkuu bo oòrùn òṣùpá kì yóò sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀.

When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.

8 Gbogbo ìmọ́lẹ̀ títàn ní ojú ọ̀run ni èmi yóò mú ṣókùnkùn lórí rẹ; èmi yóò mú òkùnkùn wá sórí ilẹ̀ rẹ, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.

9 Èmi yóò da ọkàn ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rú nígbà tí mo bá mú ìparun rẹ wá ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ kò í tí ì mọ̀.

And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.

10 Èmi yóò mú kí ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn dẹ́rùbà ọ́, àwọn ọba wọn yóò sì wárìrì fún ìbẹ̀rù pẹ̀lú ìpayà nítorí rẹ, nígbà tí mo bá ju idà mi ní iwájú wọn. Ní ọjọ́ ìṣubú rẹ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú wọn yóò wárìrì ní gbogbo ìgbà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ.

I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

11 “‘Nítorí èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Idà ọba Babeli yóò wá sí orí rẹ,

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.

12 Èmi yóò mú kí ìjọ ènìyàn rẹ kí ó tí ipa idà àwọn alágbára ènìyàn ṣubú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè aláìláàánú jùlọ. Wọn yóò tú ìgbéraga Ejibiti ká, gbogbo ìjọ rẹ ní a yóò dá ojú wọn bolẹ̀.

I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.

13 Gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ ni èmi yóò parun ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi kì i ṣe ẹsẹ̀ ènìyàn ní yóò tẹ ibẹ̀ ẹsẹ̀ ẹran ọ̀sìn kì yóò sì mú kí ibẹ̀ ni ẹrọ̀fọ̀.

I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.

14 Lẹ́yìn náà èmi yóò mú kí omi rẹ̀ tòrò kí àwọn odò rẹ̀ kí o sàn bí epo, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.

15 Nígbà tí mo bá sọ Ejibiti di ahoro, tí mo sì kó gbogbo ohun tí ó wà ní orí ilẹ̀ náà kúrò. Nígbà tí mo bá gé àwọn olùgbé ibẹ̀ lulẹ̀, nígbà náà wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.’

When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’

16 “Èyí yìí ni ẹkún tí a yóò sun fún un. Àwọn ọmọbìnrin orílẹ̀-èdè yóò sun ún; nítorí Ejibiti àti gbogbo ìjọ rẹ, wọn yóò sun ún, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”

That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”

17 Ní ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù, ọdún kejìlá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ mí wá:

On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

18 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, pohùnréré ẹkún lórí Ejibiti kí o sì ránṣẹ́ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ àti òun àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin orílẹ̀-èdè alágbára, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí o lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀, kòtò.

“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.

19 Sọ fún wọn, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ní ojúrere jù àwọn tí o kù lọ? Lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ kí a sì tẹ́ ọ sí àárín àwọn aláìkọlà náà.’

Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.

20 Wọn yóò ṣubú láàrín àwọn tí a fi idà pa. A fa idà yọ; jẹ́ kí a wọ́ Ejibiti kúrò pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọ rẹ̀.

[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.

21 Láti inú isà òkú alágbára tí í ṣe aṣáájú yóò sọ nípa Ejibiti àti àwọn àlejò rẹ̀, ‘Wọn ti wá sí ìsàlẹ̀, wọn sì sùn pẹ̀lú aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa.’ (Sheol h7585)

In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)

22 “Asiria wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo jagunjagun rẹ̀; àwọn isà òkú àwọn tí a ti pa sì yí i ká, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti ipa idà ṣubú.

[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

23 Isà òkú wọn wà ní ibi tí ó jinlẹ̀ gan an nínú kòtò. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti tan ẹ̀rù ká ilẹ̀ alààyè ní a pa, tí ó ti ipa idà ṣubú.

The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.

24 “Elamu wà níbẹ̀, o yí isà òkú rẹ̀ ká pẹ̀lú gbogbo ogun rẹ̀. Gbogbo wọn ni a pa, àwọn tí ó ti ipa idà ṣubú. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti tan ẹ̀rù ká ilẹ̀ alààyè lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ láìkọlà sí abẹ́ ilẹ̀. Wọ́n gba ìtìjú wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ kòtò.

A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.

25 A ṣe ibùsùn fún un láàrín àwọn tí a pa, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọ rẹ̀ tí ó yí isà òkú ká. Gbogbo wọn jẹ́ aláìkọlà, tí a fi idà pa. Nítorí pé a tan ẹ̀rù wọn ká ilẹ̀ alààyè, wọn ru ìtìjú wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ kòtò; a tẹ́ wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a pa.

They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.

26 “Meṣeki àti Tubali wà níbẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ogun wọn yí isà òkú wọn ká. Gbogbo wọn jẹ́ aláìkọlà, wọ́n fi idà pa wọ́n nítorí ẹ̀rù tiwọn tàn ká ilẹ̀ alààyè.

[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.

27 Wọn kì yóò sì dùbúlẹ̀ ti àwọn tí ó ṣubú nínú àwọn aláìkọlà, tí wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ipò òkú pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra ogun wọn, wọ́n tí fi idà wọn rọ orí wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n àìṣedéédéé wọn yóò wà ní orí egungun wọn—bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹ̀rù àwọn alágbára ní ilẹ̀ alààyè. (Sheol h7585)

They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)

28 “Ìwọ náà, Farao, ní yóò ṣẹ, ti yóò dùbúlẹ̀ láàrín aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa.

You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.

29 “Edomu wà níbẹ̀, àwọn ọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ọmọbìnrin ọba; bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ní agbára, a tẹ́ wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa. Wọn dùbúlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn ti o lọ sínú kòtò.

People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.

30 “Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-aládé ilẹ̀ àríwá àti gbogbo àwọn ará Sidoni wà níbẹ̀; wọn lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a pa ní ìtìjú, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọn ṣe okùnfà ẹ̀rù pẹ̀lú agbára wọn. Wọn sùn ní àìkọlà pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa, wọn sì ru ìtìjú wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ kòtò.

All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.

31 “Farao, òun àti gbogbo jagunjagun rẹ̀ yóò rí wọn, a yóò sì tù ú nínú nítorí gbogbo ogun rẹ̀ tí a fi idà pa, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

32 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé mo ti tan ẹ̀rù ká ilẹ̀ alààyè, Farao àti gbogbo ogun rẹ̀ ni a yóò tẹ́ sí àárín aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”

While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
