Hezekiel 32
1 Le ƒe wuievelia ƒe ɣleti wuievelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Ame vi, kpa konyifaha aɖe tso Farao, Egipte fia ŋu, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èle abe dzata ene le dukɔwo dome, èle abe lã dziŋɔ aɖe ene le atsiaƒuwo me. Èle tsi ƒum le wò tɔsisiwo me, “‘Èle tsi la trom kple wò afɔwo, Eye nèna ba ge ɖe tsiawo me.
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao king of Egypt, and say to him, Thou art become like a lion of the nations, and as a serpent that is in the sea: and thou didst make assaults with thy rivers, and didst disturb the water with thy feet, and didst trample thy rivers.
3 “‘Aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “‘Ameha gã aɖe akpe ɖe ŋunye, Mada nye ɖɔ ɖe dziwò, Eye woahe wò ava gota le nye ɖɔ me.
Thus saith the Lord; I will also cast over thee the nets of many nations, and will bring thee up with my hook:
4 Matsɔ wò aƒu gbe ɖe anyigba dzi, Eye mada wò ɖe gbedzi, Mana dziƒoxeviwo katã nadze ɖe dziwò, Eye anyigbadzilã wɔadãwo katã Nanya avuzi le dziwò.
and I will stretch thee upon the earth: the fields shall be covered [with thee], and I will cause all the birds of the sky to settle upon thee, and I will fill [with thee] all the wild beasts of the earth.
5 Makaka wò ŋutilã ɖe toawo dzi, Eye mana balimewo nayɔ fũu kple wò kukua.
And I will cast thy flesh upon the mountains, and will saturate [them] with thy blood.
6 Mana wò ʋu natsa le anyigba la dzi, Ayi keke toawo te ke, Eye balimewo ayɔ fũu kple wò ŋutilã.
And the land shall be drenched with thy dung, because of thy multitude upon the mountains: I will fill the valleys with thee.
7 Ne mena nuwò yi la, Matsyɔ nu dziƒo nu. Mana woƒe ɣletiviwo nado viviti. Matsɔ lilikpo atsyɔ ɣe ŋkume, Eye ɣleti magana kekeli o.
And I will veil the heavens when thou art extinguished, and will darken the stars thereof; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 Dziƒokaɖi keklẽwo katã, Mana woado viviti ɖe dziwò. Mahe viviti ava wò anyigba dzi, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
All the [bodies] that give light in the sky, shall be darkened over thee, and I will bring darkness upon the earth, saith the Lord God.
9 Maɖe fu na dukɔ geɖewo ƒe dzi, Ne mehe wò tsɔtsrɔ̃ vɛ, Le dukɔwo dome. Le anyigba siwo mènya o la dzi.
And I will provoke to anger the heart of many people, when I shall lead thee captive among the nations, to a land which thou hast not known.
10 Mana dukɔ geɖewo ƒe nu naku ɖe tawò, Eye woƒe fiawo nadzo nyanyanya Kple vɔvɔ̃ ɖe tawò, Ne menye nye yi le yame le woƒe ŋkume. Le wò anyidzedze ƒe ŋkeke la dzi la, Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe adzo nyanyanya Ɣeawo katã ɣi ɖe eƒe agbe ta.
And many nations shall mourn over thee, and their kings shall be utterly amazed, when my sword flies in their faces, as they wait for their [own] fall from the day of thy fall.
11 “‘Elabena aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ, “‘Babilonia fia ƒe yi Ado ɖe ŋuwò.
For thus saith the Lord God; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee,
12 Mana wò amewo natsi ame sesẽwo, Ame siwo sẽa ŋuta wu Le dukɔwo katã dome la ƒe yinu. Woatsi Egipte ƒe dada nu, Eye woaɖu eƒe ame gbogboawo dzi.
with the swords of mighty men; and I will cast down thy strength: [they are] all destroying ones from the nations, and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all her strength shall be crushed.
13 Matsrɔ̃ eƒe nyiwo katã Tso tsi gãwo to, Tsi gã siwo ame ƒe afɔ magablu o, Eye nyiwo ƒe afɔwo magablu ba ɖe wo me o.
And I will destroy all her cattle from [beside] the great water; and the foot of man shall not trouble it any more, and the step of cattle shall no more trample it.
14 Ekema mana eƒe tsiwo nadze anyi, Eye mana woatsa abe ami ene.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
Thus shall their waters then be at rest, and their rivers shall flow like oil, saith the Lord,
15 “Ne mena Egipte zu gbegbe, Meɖe nu sia nu si le edzi ɖa, Eye meƒo ame siwo katã le edzi ƒu anyi la, Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.
when I shall give up Egypt to destruction, and the land shall be made desolate with the fullness thereof; when I shall scatter all that dwell in it, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
16 “Esiae nye konyifaha si woadzi nɛ. Dukɔawo ƒe vinyɔnuviwo adzii nɛ. Woadzii na Egipte kple eƒe amewo. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
There is a lamentation, and thou shalt utter it; and the daughters of the nations shall utter it, [even] for Egypt, and they shall mourn for it over all the strength thereof, saith the Lord God.
17 Le ƒe wuievelia ƒe ɣletia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia gbe la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the first month, on the fifteenth [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Ame vi, fa avi ɖe Egipte ƒe ame gbogboawo ŋu, eye nàna woayi tome, Egipte kple dukɔ sesẽwo ƒe vinyɔnuviwo kple ame siwo yi aʋlime.
Son of man, lament over the strength of Egypt, for the nations shall bring down her daughters dead to the depth of the earth, to them that go down to the pit.
19 Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ɖe wònyo na mi wu ale si wònyo na ame bubuwoea? Miyi tome, eye miamlɔ bolotɔwo dome.’
20 Woamlɔ ame siwo tsi yinu la dome. Wolé yi la ɖe asi, mina woakplɔe adzoe kple eƒe ame gbogboawo.
They shall fall with him in the midst of them [that are] slain with the sword, and all his strength shall perish: the giants also shall say to thee,
21 Le yɔdo la me la, kplɔla ŋusẽtɔwo agblɔ tso Egipte kple ame siwo wòtsɔ aʋae la ŋu be, ‘Wova ɖo tome, eye woamlɔ bolotɔwo, ame siwo tsi yinu la dome.’ (Sheol h7585)
Be thou in the depth of the pit: to whom art thou superior? yea, go down, and lie with the uncircumcised, in the midst of them [that are] slain with the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 “Asiria le afi ma kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la; eƒe ame siwo wowu la ƒe yɔdowo ƒo xlãe, ame siwo katã tsi yinu.
There are Assur and all his company: all [his] slain have been laid there:
23 Woƒe yɔdowo le do la ƒe gogloƒe, eye eƒe aʋakɔ la ƒo xlã yɔdo la. Wowu ame siwo katã do ŋɔdzi na agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba, wotsi yi nu.
and their burial is in the depth of the pit, and his company are set around about his tomb: all the slain that fell by the sword, who had caused the fear of them [to be] upon the land of the living.
24 “Elam le afi ma, eye eƒe amehawo katã ɖe to ɖe eƒe yɔdo, Ame tsiaʋawo sɔŋ wonye, eye wotsi yinu, wonye bolotɔwo yi tsiẽƒe, woawoe de ŋɔdzi agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi; azɔ ŋu akpe wo akpe ɖe aʋlimeyilawo ŋu.
There is Aelam and all his host round about his tomb: all the slain that fell by the sword, and the uncircumcised that go down to the deep of the earth, who caused their fear to be upon the land of the living: and they have received their punishment with them that go down to the pit,
25 Wotsɔ eya kple eƒe amehawo katã mlɔ Ame tsiaʋawo dome, woƒe yɔdowo ɖe to ɖee, bolotɔwo sɔŋ wonye, eye woda yi wo, elabena wode ŋɔdzi agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi; azɔ ŋu akpe wo akpe ɖe aʋlimeyilawo ŋu; Ame tsiaʋawo dome wokɔ wo mlɔe.
in the midst of the slain.
26 “Mesek kple Tubal le afi ma kple woƒe ame gbogboawo katã, ƒo xlã yɔdoawo. Wo katã wonye bolotɔwo, wowu wo kple yi, elabena wokaka woƒe ŋɔdzidoname ɖe agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
There were laid Mosoch, and Thobel, and all his strength round about his tomb: all his slain men, all the uncircumcised, slain with the sword, who caused their fear to be in the land of the living.
27 Ɖe womemlɔ aʋawɔla bubuawo, ame siwo nye bolotɔwo dome, ame siwo ku, woyi yɔdo la me kple woƒe aʋawɔnuwo, ame siwo ƒe yi wotsɔ da ɖe woƒe ta te oa? Woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe tohehe le woƒe ƒuwo dzi togbɔ be aʋawɔla siawo ƒe ŋɔdzidoname xɔ agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi hã. (Sheol h7585)
And they are laid with the giants that fell of old, who went down to Hades with [their] weapons of war: and they laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities were upon their bones, because they terrified all men during their life. (Sheol h7585)
28 “Wò hã, O! Farao, woagbã wò gudugudu, eye nàmlɔ bolotɔwo kple ame siwo tsi yinu la dome.
And thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that have been slain by the sword.
29 “Edom le afi ma, eƒe fiawo kple fiaviŋutsuwo katã. Togbɔ be wonye ŋusẽtɔwo hã la, wotsɔ wo mlɔ ame siwo tsi yinu la dome. Womlɔ bolotɔwo kple ame siwo yi aʋlime la dome.
There are laid the princes of Assur, who yielded their strength to a wound of the sword: these are laid with the slain, with them that go down to the pit.
30 “Anyiehe fiaviwo katã kple Sidontɔwo katã le afi ma. Woyi aʋlime kple ŋukpe kple ame siwo wowu le ŋɔdzi si woƒe ŋusẽ do na amewo megbe. Womlɔ anyi aʋamatsomatsoe kple ame siwo yi aʋlime.
There are the princes of the north, [even] all the captains of Assur, who go down slain [to Hades]: they lie uncircumcised among the slain with the sword together with their terror and their strength, and they have received their punishment with them that go down to the pit.
31 “Farao, eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la, akpɔ wo, eye woafa akɔ na wo le woƒe ame gbogbo siwo tsi yi nu la ta. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
King Pharao shall see them, and shall be comforted over all their force, saith the Lord God.
32 Togbɔ be meɖe mɔ, wòdo ŋɔdzi na amewo le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi hã la, woakɔ Farao kple eƒe ame gbogboawo katã amlɔ bolotɔwo kple ame siwo tsi yinu la dome.” Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe.
For I have caused his fear to be upon the land of the living yet he shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, [even] Pharao, and all his multitude with him, saith the Lord God.
