Ezekiela 30
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Midradradradrà ianareo! Indrisy ny andro!
“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!
3 Fa efa antomotra ny andro, eny, antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah, dia andro mandrahona sy fotoana hamaliana ny jentilisa izany.
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 Ary hisy sabatra tonga any Egypta sy fangorohoroana fatratra any Etiopia, raha miampatrampatra any Egypta ny voatrabaka; Ary ho lasa ny hareny, sady ho rava ny fanorenany.
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 Etiopia sy Libya sy Lydia sy ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra sy ny Kobiana sy ny zanaky ny tany vita fanekena dia hiaraka ho lavon-tsabatra aminy.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ho lavo koa izay manohana an’ i Egypta, ary hietry ny fiavonavonan’ ny heriny; Hatrany Migdola ka hatrany Syena no ho lavon-tsabatra izy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
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 Ho rava dia ho rava izy, ary ny tanànany ho lao dia ho lao.
Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.
8 Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha mampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho, ka torotoro izay rehetra manampy azy.
Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.
9 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy iraka mivoaka avy amiko handeha an-tsambo hampahatahotra ny Etiopiana izay mitoetra tsy manahinahy, ka dia hangorohoro tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro namelezana an’ i Egypta izy; Fa, indro, avy izany.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ny tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, no ho entiko mahafoana ny horakorak’ i Egypta.
This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.
11 Izy sy ny vahoakany manaraka azy, dia ireo masiaka indrindra amin’ ny firenena, no ho entina handrava ny tany; Ary hanatsoaka ny sabany hamely an’ i Egypta ireny, ka ho feno faty ny tany.
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 Hahatankina an’ i Neily sy hivarotra ny tany ho eo an-tànan’ ny ratsy fanahy Aho, ary ny tanan’ ny fahavalo no ho entiko mandrava ny tany mbamin’ izay rehetra ao aminy; Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Horavako koa ny sampy, ary hatsahatro ny andriamani-tsi-izy ao Memfisa; ary tsy hisy mpanjaka intsony amin’ ny tany Egypta;
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 Handrava an’ i Patrosa Aho sy hampirehitra afo any Zoana, ary hotanterahiko ny fitsarana an’ i No;
I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.
15 Hampidina ny fahatezerako amin’ i Sina, fiarovana mafy any Egypta, Aho, ary hofongorako ny vahoaka be any No.
I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.
16 Hampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho; Hiolanolana fatratra Sina noho ny faharariany; Ho banga No, ary Memifisa dia hasian’ ny fahavalo antoandro.
I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.
17 Ny zatovon’ i Avena sy Pi-beseta ho lavon-tsabatra, sady ho lasan-ko babo ny ao.
The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.
18 Any Tapanesa dia ho maizina ny andro, raha tapahiko any ny ziogan’ i Egypta, ary hitsahatra ny fiavonavonan’ ny heriny; Ho voasaron’ ny rahona izy, sady ho lasan-ko babo ny zananivavy.
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 Toy izany no hanatanterahako ny fitsarana an’ i Egypta; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.
This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
20 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Ry zanak’ olona, ny sandrin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, dia efa notorotoroiko, ary he! tsy noharatoina mba ho sitrana izy, na nofehezina lamba, mba hanatanjaka azy hahatan-tsabatra.
“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 Koa izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah Tompo hoe: Indro, efa hamely an’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, Aho, ka hotorotoroiko ny sandriny, na ny mbola matanjaka, na ny efa torotoro; Ary hampilatsaka ny sabatra eny an-tànany Aho.
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 Dia haeliko ho any amin’ ny firenena samy hafa ny Egyptiana, ka hahahako any amin’ ny tany samy hafa.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
24 Fa hampahatanjahiko kosa ny sandrin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ka hataoko eny an-tànany ny sabatro; Fa hotorotoroiko ny sandrin’ i Farao, dia hitrona eo anatrehany toy ny fitronan’ ny voatrabaka izy.
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 Eny, hampahatanjahiko ny sandrin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia hiraviravy ny sandrin’ i Farao: Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha hataoko eny an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny sabatro, ka haingainy hamelezana ny tany Egypta.
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 Dia haeliko ho any amin’ ny firenena samy hafa ny Egyptiana ka hahahako any amin’ ny tany samy hafa; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.
When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
