Jezekiel 30

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

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:

2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!

“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Twa adwo na ka se, “Ao da no!”

3 For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.

Na da no abɛn, Awurade da no abɛn, omununkum da, amanaman no atemmu bere.

4 And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.

Afoa bi bɛsɔre atia Misraim, na ahoyeraw bɛba Kus so. Sɛ apirafo totɔ wɔ Misraim a wɔbɛsoa nʼahonyade akɔ na wɔabubu ne fapem agu fam.

5 Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.

Kus ne Put, Lidia ne Arabia nyinaa, Libia ne bɔhyɛ asase no so nnipa ne Misraim bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano.

6 And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.

“‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Misraim nnamfonom bɛtotɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bedi no huammɔ. Efi Migdol kosi Aswan wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa a ɛwɔ ne mu no ano, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

7 And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:

Wɔbɛdeda mpan wɔ nsase a ada mpan mu, na wɔn nkuropɔn bebubu aka nkuropɔn a abubu ho.

8 and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.

Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, bere a mede ogya ato Misraim mu na madwerɛw nʼaboafo nyinaa no.

9 In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.

“‘Saa da no, asomafo de ahyɛn befi me nkyɛn akohunahuna Kus a ne tirim yɛ no dɛ no. Ne ho bɛyeraw no wɔ Misraim atemmuda no, na ampa ara ɛbɛba mu.

10 Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,

“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mede Misraim dɔm bebrebe no bɛba awiei mɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar so.

11 his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.

Ɔno ne nʼasraafo; amanaman no mu anuɔdenfo, wɔde wɔn bɛba abɛsɛe asase no. Wɔbɛtwe wɔn afoa atia Misraim na wɔde afunu ahyɛ asase no so ma.

12 And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.

Mɛma Nil mu nsu ayow na matɔn asase no ama nnipa bɔne; menam ananafo so bɛsɛe asase no ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa. Me Awurade na maka.

13 For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.

“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mɛsɛe ahoni no na mede Memfis nsɛsode ahorow no aba awiei. Misraim rennya mmapɔmma bio, na mɛma hu aba asase no so nyinaa.

14 And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.

Mɛsɛe Misraim Atifi, ato Soan mu gya na matwe Tebes aso.

15 And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.

Mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu Pɛlusum so, Misraim bammɔ dennen no, na matwa Tebes nnipa bebrebe no agu.

16 And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.

Mɛto Misraim mu gya; Pɛlusum de ɔyaw bebubu ne mu. Ahum bebu afa Tebes so; na Memfis bedi abooboo da biara.

17 The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.

Heliopolis ne Bubastis mmerante bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano, na nkuropɔn no ankasa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.

18 And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.

Sum kabii beduru Tapanhes, da no sɛ mibubu Misraim konnua no a; hɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bɛba awiei. Omununkum bɛkata no so, na ne nkuraa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.

19 And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Ɛno nti mɛtwe Misraim aso, na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Afe a ɛto so dubaako no, ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so ason no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:

21 Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.

“Onipa ba, mabu Misraimhene Farao basa mu. Wɔnkyekyeree, na atoa bio; na wɔmfa nhyɛɛ ntama bamma mu na anya ahoɔden a ɔde beso afoa mu.

22 Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.

Ɛno nti, Otumfo Awurade na ose: Mene Misraimhene Farao anya; mebubu nʼabasa abien no mu; basa a eye ne nea mu abu no, na mama afoa afi ne nsam atɔ fam.

23 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.

Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.

Mɛhyɛ Babiloniahene basa mu den na mede mʼafoa ahyɛ ne nsa, nanso Farao de, mebu nʼabasa mu, na wasi apini wɔ nʼanim sɛ obi a wapira opirabɔne.

25 Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.

Mɛma Babiloniahene abasa mu ayɛ den, nanso Farao abasa bedwudwo asensɛn ne ho. Sɛ mede mʼafoa hyɛ Babiloniahene nsa na ɔma so tia Misraim a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.

26 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.

Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase no so. Ɛno na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
