< Ezekiel 30 >

1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa aw, tonghma lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah a thui he thui pah. Ya-oe hnin at ham khaw rhung mai saw.
“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!
3 Khohnin tah yoei ngawn coeng, BOEIPA kah khohnin tah yoei ngawn. Namtom kah a tue tah cingmai khohnin la om.
The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.
4 Te vaengah Egypt te cunghang loh a thoeng thil tih a thueknah loh Kusah soah tla ni. Egypt ah rhok a cungku vaengah a pilnu te a loh pah vetih a khoengim a koengloeng pah ni.
A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.
5 Kusah neh Put khaw, Lud neh namcom boeih, Khub neh a taengkah paipi khohmuen koca rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.
Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.
6 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Egypt aka talong rhoek khaw cungku uh vetih a sarhi kah hoemdamnah khaw tla ni. Syene Migdol lamkah khaw cunghang dongah amah la cungku uh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
7 Aka pong khohmuen lakli ah pong uh vetih a khopuei rhoek khaw a khah tangtae khopuei rhoek lakli ah om uh ni.
Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.
8 Kai he BOEIPA la a ming uh bitni. Egypt te hmai ka hlae thil vetih anih aka bom rhoek khaw boeih bawt uh ni.
Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.
9 Te khohnin ah ngaikhuek Kusah lakueng hamla puencawn rhoek te ka mikhmuh lamloh timbaw neh cet uh ni. A thoeng kuekluek ham dongah Egypt kah khohnin ah amih te thueknah loh a thoeng thil ni.
At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!
10 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Egypt hlangping te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut neh ka kangkuen sak ni.
This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.
11 Amah neh a taengkah a pilnam loh khohmuen phae ham namtom hlanghaeng te hang khuen. Te dongah Egypt te a cunghang neh a thun uh vetih khohmuen te rhok a bae sak ni.
He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.
12 Sokko te lanhak la ka poeh sak vetih khohmuen te boethae kut ah ka yoih pah ni. Khohmuen neh a khuikah boeih te kholong kut neh ka pong sak ni. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui coeng.
I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.
13 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Mueirhol ka milh sak vetih Noph kah muei te ka kangkuen sak ni. Egypt khohmuen kah khoboei khaw om voel pawt vetih Egypt khohmuen ah rhihnah ka paek ni.
This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.
14 Parthros te ka pong sak vetih Zoan te hmai neh ka hoeh ni. No te khaw tholhphu ka suk thil ni.
I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.
15 Ka kosi he Egypt lunghim Sin soah ka hawk vetih No hlangping te ka thup ni.
I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.
16 Egypt te hmai neh ka hlae vaengah kilkul la kilkul vetih kilkul voek bitni. Sin neh No neh Noph he khothaih rhal ah a ueth la om bitni.
I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.
17 Aven neh Pibeseth tongpang rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih amih te tamna la cet uh ni.
The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.
18 Egypt hnokohcung te pahoi ka khaem vaengah Tahpanhes ah khothaih khaw hmuep ni. Te vaengah a khuikah hoemdamnah a sarhi khaw kangkuen vetih amah te cingmai loh a thing ni. A tanu rhoek khaw tamna la cet uh ni.
It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.
19 Egypt soah tholhphu ka suk tangloeng daengah ni BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh eh,” a ti.
This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
20 Kum hlai khat hla lamhma hnin rhih dongla a om vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh a bantha ka khaem pah coeng. Si paek ham khaw poi pah pawh ne. A khopnah a khueh tih a poi pah daengah man cunghang a tuuk vaengah a na suidae.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.
22 Te dongah Ka Boeipa Yahovah he ni a thui. Egypt manghai Pharaoh ka pai thil coeng he. A ban aka tlungluen te aka khaem bangla ka khaem pah vetih a kut lamkah cunghang ka hlong sak ni.
So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.
23 Egypt te namtom taengah ka taek ka yak vetih amih te diklai ah ka haeh ni.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
24 Babylon manghai kah a ban te ka moem pah vetih ka cunghang he a kut ah ka paek ni. Pharaoh ban te ka khaem vetih a mikhmuh ah rhok kah nguekcoinah bangla nguekcoi ni.
I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.
25 Babylon manghai te bantha ka caang sak tih Pharaoh bantha a tlak vaengah BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh bitni. Ka cunghang he Babylon manghai kut ah ka paek vetih Egypt khohmuen te a luklek thil ni.
I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.
26 Egypt te namtom taengah ka taek ka yak tih amih te diklai la ka haeh vaengah BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh bitni,” a ti.
When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
