Ezekiel 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 “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.
-Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a! Fè konnen sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ou di: -Rele non! Ala yon move jou!
3 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.
Jou a ap pwoche. Wi, dat pou Seyè a aji a ap pwoche vre. Jou sa a, syèl la ap fèmen. Se va yon jou malè pou nasyon yo.
4 [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.
Pral gen lagè nan tout peyi Lejip. Gwo lafliksyon pral tonbe sou peyi Letiopi. Anpil moun pral mouri nan peyi Lejip. Yo pral piye peyi a nèt ale. Y'a kraze ata fondasyon kay li yo.
5 [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.”
Nan lagè sa a, yo pral touye tout sòlda li yo, ki vle di tout moun peyi Letiopi, moun peyi Pout, moun peyi Loud, moun peyi Arabi, moun peyi Koub. Ata moun peyi pa m' lan, Izrayèl, ki t'ap sèvi nan lame Lejip la ap mouri ansanm ak yo tou.
6 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.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Tout moun ki t'ap pran defans peyi Lejip la pral mouri. Gwo bèl lame Lejip la pral disparèt. Wi, depi lavil Migdòl nan nò desann lavil Aswan nan sid, yo tout ap mouri nan lagè. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
Se peyi sa a ki pral pi mal nan tout peyi yo devaste yo. Lavil li yo pral tounen mazi nèt.
8 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].
Lè m'a mete dife nan peyi Lejip, lè tout moun ki t'ap goumen pou li yo va tonbe mouri, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
9 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!”
Lè jou sa a va vini, jou pou yo detwi peyi Lejip la, m'ap voye mesaje nan bato pou y' al pran tèt moun ki t'ap viv kè pòpòz nan peyi Letiopi yo. Moun sa yo pral kraponnen anpil. Wi, jou sa a pa lwen rive.
10 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.
Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Mwen pral sèvi ak Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pou m' fini ak richès peyi Lejip la.
11 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.
Wa a va vini ak lame sòlda li yo pou yo ravaje tout peyi a. Se moun Babilòn sa yo ki pi mechan pase tout lòt nasyon. Yo pral atake peyi Lejip avèk nepe yo nan men yo. Pral gen kadav nan tout peyi a.
12 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.”
Mwen pral cheche dlo larivyè Nil la, m'ap lage peyi a nan men ansasen. M'ap fè moun lòt nasyon yo ravaje peyi a nèt ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
13 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.
Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Mwen pral detwi tout zidòl yo, m'ap disparèt tout fo bondye ki lavil Menmfis yo. p'ap gen pesonn pou gouvènen peyi Lejip la. M'ap fè tout moun nan peyi a pran tranble tèlman y'ap pè.
14 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].
M'ap devaste zòn Patwòs la nan sid peyi a. M'ap mete dife nan lavil Zoan nan nò. M'ap pini lavil Tèb, kapital peyi a.
15 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.
M'ap fè moun lavil Sin yo, lavil ki plen gwo ranpa pou defann peyi a, santi jan mwen konn fache. M'ap detwi tout richès lavil Tèb la.
16 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.
M'ap mete dife nan peyi Lejip. Lavil Sin lan pral nan gwo lapenn. Gwo miray lavil Tèb yo pral fann, y'ap kraze. Dlo pral anvayi tout lavil la.
17 [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].
Tout jenn gason lavil Eliopolis ak lavil Boubastis yo ap mouri nan lagè. Y'ap depòte tout rès moun yo.
18 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].”
Fènwa pral kouvri lavil Tapanès gwo jounen, lè m'a kraze otorite pouvwa peyi Lejip la. Lè m'a fini ak fòs kouraj ki t'ap fè l' gonfle lestonmak li a, yon gwo nwaj pral kouvri tout peyi Lejip. Yo pral depòte dènye moun li yo.
19 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].’”
Se konsa mwen pral pini peyi Lejip. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
20 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, ]
Nan setyèm jou premye mwa, onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
21 “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.
-Nonm o! Mwen kase ponyèt farawon an, wa Lejip la. Pa gen pesonn ki mete renmèd sou li, pesonn ki mete l' nan fòm pou l' ka pran, pou l' ka gen fòs kenbe nepe nan men l' ankò.
22 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.
Se poutèt sa, koulye a men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: M'ap leve dèyè farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Mwen pral kase tou de ponyèt li yo, ni sa ki te enganm lan ni sa ki te kase deja a. M'ap fè nepe a soti tonbe nan men l'.
23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
Mwen pral gaye moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt peyi, mwen pral simaye yo nan mitan divès lòt nasyon sou latè.
24 [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.
Mwen pral bay ponyèt wa Babilòn lan fòs, m'ap mete nepe pa m' lan nan men l'. M'ap kase tou de ponyèt farawon yo. Li pral rakle, li pral soufri anpil, li pral mouri devan lènmi l' lan.
25 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.
Wi, m'ap bay ponyèt wa Babilòn lan fòs, men m'ap febli ponyèt farawon an. Lè m'a bay wa Babilòn lan nepe pa m' lan, lè l'a lonje l' sou peyi Lejip la, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
26 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].’”
M'ap gaye moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt peyi, mwen pral simaye yo nan mitan divès lòt nasyon sou latè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
