< Ezekiel 29 >

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ní ọjọ́ kejìlá, oṣù kẹwàá, ọdún kẹwàá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọjú sí Farao ọba Ejibiti kí ó sì sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí i àti sí gbogbo Ejibiti.
3 Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”
Sọ̀rọ̀, kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “‘Èmi lòdì sí ọ, Farao ọba Ejibiti ìwọ ẹ̀mí búburú ńlá inú òkun tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ sí àárín àwọn odò ṣíṣàn rẹ. Èyí tí ó sọ wí pé, “Tèmi ni odò Naili; èmi ni ó sì ṣe é fún ara mi.”
4 For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ìwọ̀ mú ẹnu rẹ èmi yóò sì mú ẹja inú odò rẹ gbogbo lẹ̀ mọ́ ìpẹ́ ara rẹ. Èmi yóò fà ọ́ síta kúrò láàrín àwọn odò rẹ, àti gbogbo ẹja odò rẹ yóò lẹ̀ mọ́ ìpẹ́ ara rẹ.
5 I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ nù sí aginjù ìwọ àti gbogbo ẹja inú odò rẹ: ìwọ yóò ṣubú sí gbangba oko a kì yóò sì ṣà ọ́ jọ tàbí gbé ọ sókè. Èmi ti fi ọ ṣe oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹranko igbó àti fún àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run láti jẹ.
6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.
Nígbà náà gbogbo àwọn olùgbé ni Ejibiti yóò mọ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa. “‘Ìwọ ti jẹ́ ọ̀pá ìyè fún ilé Israẹli.
7 When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.
Nígbà tí wọn fi ọwọ́ agbára wọn dì ọ́ mú. Ìwọ fọ́, ìwọ sì ya gbogbo èjìká wọn; nígbà tí wọn fi ara tì ọ́, ìwọ sẹ́, ìwọ sì mú gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn gbọ̀n.
8 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.
“‘Nítorí náà, èyí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi, Èmi yóò mú idà kan wá sórí rẹ tí yóò sì gé ènìyàn àti ẹran kúrò nínú rẹ.
9 So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”
Ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò di aginjù àti ahoro, nígbà náà ní wọn yóò sì mọ̀ wí pé èmi ní Olúwa. “‘Nítorí tí ìwọ wí pé, “Tèmi ni odò Naili, Èmi ni mo ṣe é,”
10 Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.
nítorí náà, mo lòdì sí ọ àti sí àwọn odò rẹ, èmi yóò sì mú kí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti di píparun àti ahoro, pátápátá, láti Migdoli lọ dé Siene, dé ààlà ilẹ̀ Kuṣi.
11 No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.
Kò sí ẹsẹ̀ ènìyàn tàbí tí ẹranko tí yóò gba ibẹ̀ kọjá; ẹni kankan kò ní gbé ibẹ̀ fún ogójì ọdún.
12 For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.
Èmi yóò sọ ilẹ̀ Ejibiti di ọ̀kan ní àárín àwọn ìlú tí ó di ahoro, fún ogójì ọdún, Èmi yóò sì fọ́n àwọn ara Ejibiti ká sáàárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi yóò sì tú wọn ká sáàárín gbogbo ilẹ̀.
13 For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní òpin ogójì ọdún, èmi yóò ṣa àwọn ará Ejibiti jọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn níbi tí a fọ́n wọn ká sí.
14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.
Èmi yóò sì tún mú ìgbèkùn Ejibiti padà bọ̀, èmi yóò sì dá wọn padà sí ilẹ̀ Paturosi, ilẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn. Wọn yóò wà níbẹ̀ bí ìjọba tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
15 It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.
Ibẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ìjọba tí ó rẹlẹ̀ jùlọ nínú àwọn ìjọba, kì yóò sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga mọ́ sórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè: nítorí èmi ni ó dín wọn kù, tiwọn kì yóò fi ṣe olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù mọ́.
16 The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”
Ejibiti kí yóò sì jẹ orísun ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé fún ilé Israẹli mọ́ ṣùgbọ́n, yóò jẹ́ ìrántí fún àìṣedéédéé wọn, nígbà tí yóò bá wò wọ́n fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Nígbà náà, wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè.’”
17 Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ó sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kìn-ín-ní, ọdún kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli mú kí ogun rẹ sin ìrú ńlá fún Tire. Gbogbo orí pá, àti gbogbo èjìká bó, síbẹ̀, òun àti àwọn ogun rẹ̀, kò rí owó ọ̀yà gbà láti Tire fún wa, fún ìrú ti a ti sìn.
19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò fi Ejibiti fún Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, òun yóò sì kó ọrọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ. Òun yóò bo ilé, yóò sì ṣe ìkógun ilẹ̀ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó iṣẹ́ tí a san fún ológun rẹ̀.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Èmi ti fi Ejibiti fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí èrè wàhálà rẹ̀ nítorí òun àti àwọn ológun rẹ ṣe é fún mi, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
21 On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
“Ní ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò mú kí ìwo Israẹli ru jáde, èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹnu ọ̀rọ̀ ní àárín wọn. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.”
