¹[Ny andro hitsarana an'i Egypta] Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

²Ry zanak'olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Midradradradrà ianareo! Indrisy ny andro!

²`Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day!

³Fa efa antomotra ny andro, eny, antomotra ny andron'i Jehovah, dia andro mandrahona sy fotoana hamaliana ny jentilisa izany.

³For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of clouds, the time of nations it is.

⁴Ary 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.

⁴And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations.

⁵Etiopia 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.[Heb. Pota][Heb. Loda]

⁵Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do fall,

⁶Izao 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.

⁶Thus said Jehovah: And — fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

⁷Ho rava dia ho rava izy, ary ny tanànany ho lao dia ho lao.[Heb. rava ao amin'ny tany rava][Heb. lao ao amin'ny tanàna lao]

⁷And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of wasted cities.

⁸Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha mampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho, ka torotoro izay rehetra manampy azy.

⁸And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers.

⁹Amin'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.

⁹In that day go forth do messengers from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come.

¹⁰Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Ny tànan'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, no ho entiko mahafoana ny horakorak'i Egypta.[Na. mandevona ny hareny]

¹⁰Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

¹¹Izy 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.

¹¹He and his people with him — the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.

¹²Hahatankina 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.

¹²And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

¹³Izao 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;[Heb. Nofa]

¹³Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And — I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Handrava an'i Patrosa Aho sy hampirehitra afo any Zoana, ary hotanterahiko ny fitsarana an'i No;

¹⁴And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,

¹⁵Hampidina ny fahatezerako amin'i Sina, fiarovana mafy any Egypta, Aho, ary hofongorako ny vahoaka be any No.

¹⁵And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶Hampirehitra afo any Egypta Aho; Hiolanolana fatratra Sina noho ny faharariany; Ho banga No, ary Memifisa dia hasian'ny fahavalo antoandro.[Heb. Nofa]

¹⁶And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses.

¹⁷Ny zatovon'i Avena sy Pi-beseta ho lavon-tsabatra, sady ho lasan-ko babo ny ao.

¹⁷The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go.

¹⁸Any 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.

¹⁸And in Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency of her strength, She — a cloud doth cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go.

¹⁹Toy izany no hanatanterahako ny fitsarana an'i Egypta; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.

¹⁹And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

²⁰[Ny hahafoanan'i Nebokadnezara ny herin'Farao] 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:

²⁰And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying: `Son of man,

²¹Ry 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.

²¹The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it — to lay hold on the sword.

²²Koa 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.

²²Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,

²³Dia haeliko ho any amin'ny firenena samy hafa ny Egyptiana, ka hahahako any amin'ny tany samy hafa.

²³And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands,

²⁴Fa 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.

²⁴And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he hath groaned the groans of a pierced one — before him.

²⁵Eny, 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.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.

²⁵And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.

²⁶Dia 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.

²⁶And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
