1In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
1 Jiiri wayanta ra, a handu wayanta jirbi way cindi hinkanta hane no Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:
2“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
2 Boro izo, ma ni moyduma ye Misira bonkoono Firawna do haray, ka annabitaray te ka gaaba nd'a, nga nda Misira kulu.
3Speak and say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’
3 Ma salaŋ ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Guna, ya nin, Misira Bonkoono Firawna, Ay ga gaaba nda nin kaŋ ci hari ham bambata kaŋ ga humburandi, Kaŋ ga kani nga isey ra, nin kaŋ ne: «Ay Nil isa ya ay wane no, Ay no k'a te ay boŋ se!.»
4I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.
4 Amma ay ga darb'ize beeri daŋ ni garbey ra, Ay ma naŋ ni isey ra hari hamey mo ma naagu ni kobtey gaa, Ay ma ni candi ka kaa taray ni isey ra, Nin da hari ham kulu kaŋ goono ga naagu ni kobtey gaa ni banda.
5I’ll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
5 Ay ma ni furu saajo ra mo ka fay da nin noodin, Nin da ni isey hari hamey kulu. Batama koonu ra no ni ga kaŋ, Ni si ye ka margu, i si ni fiji mo. Ay na ni nooyandi ganji hamey da beene curey se, Ni ma ciya i se ŋwaari hari.
6All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
6 Gaa no Misira gorokoy kulu ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, za kaŋ i ciya Israyla dumo se kwaari goobu.
7When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs.”
7 Waato kaŋ i na ni di da ngey kambey, kala ni ceeri, ni na i jase boŋey kulu tooru-tooru mo. Waato kaŋ i jeeri ni gaa, ni ceeri, ni naŋ mo i cantey kulu ma goori.
8Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.
8 Woodin sabbay se, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Guna, ay ga kande ni gaa takuba, ay ma boro nda alman kulu tuusu ka kaa ni ra.
9The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it;’
9 Misira laabo mo ga ciya kurmu, batama koonu. Gaa no i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi. Za kaŋ ni ne: «Nil isa ya ay wane no, ay no k'a te,»
10therefore, behold, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
10 ay binde goono ga gaaba nda nin. Ay ga gaaba nda ni isey, ay ga naŋ mo Misira ma ciya kurmu, batama kwaaray koonu soosay, za Migdol gaa kal a ma koy Siyen gaa, kala Etiyopi hirro gaa.
11No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
11 Boro ce si gana a ra, alman ce mo si gana a ra, i si goro a ra mo, kala jiiri waytaaci ma kubay.
12I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”
12 Yaadin cine no ay ga Misira laabo ciya kurmu nd'a, laabu cindey kaŋ go kurmu yaŋ game ra. A galley mo ga ciya kurmuyaŋ, gallu cindey kaŋ i bagu-bagu yaŋ game ra, kal a ma to jiiri waytaaci. Ay ga Misirancey say-say no ndunnya dumey ra, ya i fay-fay ndunnya laabey ra.
13For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;
13 Zama yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Jiiri waytaaca din bananta ay ga Misirancey margu ka fun d'ey ndunnya dumey ra, nangey kaŋ i say ka koy.
14and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
14 Ngey kaŋ i konda tamtaray, ay g'i ye Misira. I ma ye Patros laabu, i asuli laabo no. I ma ciya mayray kayniyo noodin.
15It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
15 I mayra ga ciya mayray kaŋ ga kayna nda ikulu mayrayey ra. I si ye ka ngey boŋ tunandi mo koyne ndunnya dumey boŋ. Ay g'i zabu hal i ma si ye ka ndunnya dumey may koyne.
16It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”’”
16 Israyla dumo mo si ye ka de i gaa koyne, kal i ma fongu ngey waato zunubey gaa, zama se i miila ngey ma koy Misira do haray. Waato din no i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, Koy Beero.
17It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
17 I go no, jiiri waranka cindi iyyanta ra, a handu sintina, hando jirbi sintina hane, kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:
18Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
18 Boro izo, Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar na nga wongu marga daŋ i ma kookari te gumo Tir boŋ, hala boro kulu boŋ te buulal, jase boŋ kulu mortu mo. Kulu nda yaadin a mana du hay kulu alhakku nga nda nga wongu marga kulu se Tir do haray, taabo kaŋ a te a boŋ din wane.
19Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
19 Rabbi, Koy Beero binde ne: A go, ay ga Misira laabo nooyandi Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar se. A g'a arzaka booba ku, a ma wongu arzaka ta, a m'a ŋwa wongu arzaka ŋwaari, a wongu marga alhakko nooya.
20I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the Lord Yahweh.
20 Ay n'a no Misira laabo, a goyo kaŋ a te din alhakku nooya, zama i goy ay se. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
21In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
21 Han din hane no ay ga daŋ hilli fo ma fatta Israyla dumo se. Ni mo, ay ga ni meyo feeri i game ra. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.
