Ezekiel 30

1 LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik ac fahk,

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Mwet sukawil moul la, palye ac fahkak kas su nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk inge. Kom in wowoyak ac fahk kas inge: Sie len aksangeng summa!

“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!

3 Len sac apkuranme, len se ma LEUM GOD El ac mukuila, Sie len lohsrlosr ke pukunyeng, ac len in lokoalok nu sin mutunfacl uh.

The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.

4 Ac fah oasr mweun in facl Egypt Ac ongoiya lulap in acn Ethiopia. Mwet puspis in acn Egypt ac fah anwuki. Facl sac ac fah kunausyukla Ac ma nukewa we fah musalla.

A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.

5 “Mwet mweun nukewa ma utuku liki acn Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, Arabia, Kub, ac oayapa liki inmasrlon mwet luk sifacna, ac fah misa ke mweun sac.”

Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.

6 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Liki acn Migdol layen epang, nwe in acn Aswan layen eir, mwet nukewa ma loango acn Egypt ac fah anwuki ke mweun uh. Un mwet mweun watwen lun acn Egypt ac fah kunausyukla. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.

This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.

7 Facl sac ac fah arulana sikiyukla yohk liki acn nukewa faclu, ac siti we uh ac fah oan arulana musalsalu.

Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.

8 Ke nga ac esukak acn Egypt, ac mwet loango acn we nukewa misa uh, na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.

9 “Ke len se ma kunanula acn Egypt, nga ac fah supwala mwet utuk kas in oayak som nu Ethiopia, in okasak mwet we su tiana etu ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah arulana tuninfongla. Len sacn akuranna tuku!”

At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!

10 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac fah orekmakunul Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia in tulokinya mwe kasrup lun Egypt.

This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.

11 El, ac mwet mweun sulallal lal, ac fah tuku ac sukela acn we. Elos ac fah mweuni acn Egypt ke cutlass, na facl sac ac fah sessesla ke monin mwet misa.

He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.

12 Nga ac fah oru Infacl Nile in paola, ac sang facl Egypt nu inpoun mwet koluk. Mwet in mutunfacl saya ac fah arulana kunausla acn we nufon. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.

13 Na LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac fah kunausla ma sruloala ac god lusrongten nukewa in acn Memphis. Ac fah wangin mwet in leumi acn Egypt, ac nga fah oru tuh mwet nukewa in arulana sangeng.

This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.

14 Nga ac oru tuh siti Pathros layen eir in Egypt in sikiyukla, ac esukak siti Zoan layen epang. Nga ac fah kalyei Thebes, capital lun acn we.

I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.

15 Nga ac fah oru tuh Pelusium, su potiyukyak arulana ku, in pula kasrkusrak luk. Nga fah kunausla un mwet mweun lun acn Thebes.

I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.

16 Nga fah esukak acn Egypt, ac siti Pelusium ac fah muta in keok lulap. Pot lun acn Thebes ac fah kunausyukla, ac siti uh ac fah sronoti.

I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.

17 Mukul fusr in siti Heliopolis ac Bubastis ac fah misa ke mweun, ac mwet saya ac fah sruoh ac muta in kapir.

The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.

18 Lohsr lulap ac fah putati nu fin Tahpanhes ke nga ac kunausla ku lun acn Egypt ac aksafyela ku se ma elos konkin kac. Sie pukunyeng ac fah afinya facl Egypt, ac mwet in siti nukewa we ac fah sruoh ac muta in kapir.

It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.

19 Ke nga ac kalyei acn Egypt in lumah se inge, elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”

This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”

20 Ke len akitkosr in malem se meet ke yac aksingoul sie in sruoh lasr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,

On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

21 “Mwet sukawil, nga koteya poun tokosra lun Egypt. Wanginna mwet kapriya ku lohsak in mahla tuh elan ku in sifil sruok cutlass natul.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.

22 Na pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk uh: Nga lainul tokosra lun Egypt. Nga ac fah kotalik paol kewa — lacpo ma srakna wo, ac layen ma musalla tari — na cutlass natul ac fah putatla liki paol.

So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.

23 Nga ac fah akfahsryelik mwet Egypt nu fin faclu nufon.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.

24 Na nga ac fah akkeye poun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac sang nu inpaol cutlass nutik uh. Tusruktu nga ac koteya poun tokosra lun Egypt, ac el ac fah sasao ac misa ye mutun mwet lokoalok lal.

I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.

25 Aok, nga fah akmunasyal, ac akkeye tokosra lun Babylonia. Ke nga ac sang cutlass nutik uh nu sel ac el kolla nu facl Egypt, mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.

26 Nga ac akfahsryelik mwet Egypt nu fin faclu nufon. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”

When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
