Ezekiel 30

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Tangi kalanga, ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē ʻae ʻaho!

3 For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.

He kuo ofi mai ʻae ʻaho, ʻio, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻaho fakapoʻupoʻuli ko e kuonga ia ki he hiteni.

4 And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.

‌ʻE hoko mai ʻae heletā ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ai ʻae mamahi lahi ʻi ʻItiopea, ʻoka tō hifo ʻae kakai mate ʻi ʻIsipite, pea te nau ʻave hono kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.

5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.

“Pea ʻe hinga fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he heletā ʻa ʻItiopea, mo Lipea, mo Litea, pea mo e kakai muli kehekehe, mo Kupa, mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻoku nau kau taha.”

6 Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE hinga foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni ki ʻIsipite; pea ʻe fakatōkilalo ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻene mālohi: te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻi ai ʻo fai mai mei he fale leʻo māʻolunga ʻo Saiini, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

7 And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.

Pea te nau lala, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi fonua ʻoku lala, pea ko hono ngaahi kolo ʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ia ʻoe ngaahi kolo kuo fakaʻauha.

8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.

Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka tutu ʻae afi ʻi ʻIsipite, pea ʻoka fakaʻauha ʻa hono kau tokoni kotoa pē.

9 In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u fekau atu meiate au ʻae ngaahi vaka ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kau ʻItiopea ʻoku fakafiemālie, pea ʻe hoko ʻae mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu, ʻo tatau mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻIsipite: he vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia.”

10 Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fakaʻosi ʻa hono tokolahi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻe he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

11 He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.

‌ʻE ʻomi ia, pea mo ʻene kakai mo ia, ʻae kau toʻa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ke nau fakaʻauha ʻae fonua: pea te nau toho ʻenau heletā ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he kakai mate tāmateʻi.

12 And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.

Pea te u fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi vai, pea te u fakatau atu ʻae fonua ki he nima ʻoe angakovi: pea te u ngaohi ke lala, ʻae fonua, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻi he nima ʻoe kau muli: ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.”

13 Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fakaʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea te u fakaʻosi meia Nofe ʻae ngaahi fakatātā; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha tuʻi ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite: pea te u ʻai ha manavahē ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

14 And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.

Pea te u ngaohi ke lala ʻa Patalosi, pea te u fakatupu ʻae afi ʻi Soani, pea te u fai ʻae tautea ʻi Nō.

15 And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.

Pea te u lilingi hoku houhau ki Pelusiumi ko e mālohi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea te u motuhi ʻae tokolahi ʻi Nō.

16 And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.

Pea te u tuku ʻae afi ʻi ʻIsipite: ʻe mamahi lahi ʻa Pelusiumi, pea ʻe hae ua ʻa No, pea ʻe mamahiʻia ʻa Nofe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

17 The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.

‌ʻE tō hifo ʻi he heletā ʻae kau talavou ʻo ʻAveni, pea mo Pupasite: pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo kolo ko ia ki he pōpula.

18 And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.

‌ʻE fakapoʻuliʻi foki ʻae ʻaho ʻi Tafanisi, ʻo kau ka maumauʻi ʻi ai ʻae haʻamonga ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ʻe ngata meiate ia ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻene mālohi: pea koeʻuhi ko ia ʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae ʻao, pea ʻe ʻalu ki he pōpula ʻa ʻene fānau fefine.

19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

‌ʻE pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ki ʻIsipite: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”

20 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, pea mo hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo u fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea vakai, ʻe ʻikai nonoʻo ia ke fakamoʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai lafosi ia ke toe mālohi ke puke ha heletā.

22 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ma fai mo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea te u fesiʻi hono nima, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea mo ia kuo mafesi; pea te u fakahomo ʻae heletā mei hono nima.

23 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.

Pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.

Pea te u fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te u ʻai ʻeku heletā ki hono nima: ka te u fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻo Felo, pea te ne toʻe ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e toʻe ʻo ha tangata kuo lavea ke mate.

25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.

Ka te u fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe tō hifo ki lalo ʻae nima ʻo Felo; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka ʻai ʻeku heletā ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne mafao atu ia ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

26 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

Pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
