“Iwe umadziyesa ngati mkango pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
Koma iwe uli ngati ngʼona mʼnyanja.
Umakhuvula mʼmitsinje yako,

ndi kudetsa madzi mʼmitsinje.
3“Tsono Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti,
“ ‘Pogwiritsa ntchito gulu la anthu a mitundu yambiri,
ndidzakuponyera khoka langa
ndi kukugwira mu ukonde wanga.
4Ndidzakuponya ku mtunda
ndi kukutayira pansi.
Ndidzabweretsa mbalame zamumlengalenga kuti zidzatere pa iwe,
ndipo zirombo zonse za dziko lapansi zidzakudya.
5Ndidzayanika mnofu wako pa mapiri
ndipo zigwa zidzadzaza ndi zotsalira zako.
6Ndidzanyowetsa dziko ndi magazi ako,
mpaka kumapiri komwe,
ndipo mitsinje idzadzaza ndi mnofu wako.
7Ndikadzakuwononga, ndidzaphimba miyamba
ndikudetsa nyenyezi zake.
Ndidzaphimba dzuwa ndi mtambo,
ndipo mwezi sudzawala.
8Zowala zonse zamumlengalenga
ndidzazizimitsa;
ndidzachititsa mdima pa dziko lako,
akutero Ambuye Yehova.
9Ndidzasautsa mitima ya anthu a mitundu yambiri
pamene ndidzakupititsa ku ukapolo pakati pa mitundu ya anthu,
ku mayiko amene iwe sunawadziwe.
10Ine ndidzachititsa kuti anthu a mitundu yambiri adabwe nawe,
ndipo mafumu awo adzanjenjemera ndi mantha aakulu chifukwa cha iwe
pamene ndidzaonetsa lupanga langa pamaso pawo.
Pa nthawi ya kugwa kwako,
aliyense wa iwo adzanjenjemera
moyo wake wonse.
11“ ‘Pakuti ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova kuti,
“ ‘Lupanga la mfumu ya ku Babuloni
lidzabwera kudzalimbana nawe.
12Ndidzachititsa gulu lako lankhondo kuti ligwe
ndi lupanga la anthu amphamvu,
anthu ankhanza kwambiri pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
Adzathetsa kunyada kwa Igupto,
ndipo gulu lake lonse la nkhondo lidzagonjetsedwa.
13Ndidzawononga ziweto zake zonse
zokhala mʼmbali mwa madzi ambiri.
Ku madziko sikudzaonekanso phazi la munthu
kapena kudetsedwa ndi phazi la ziweto.
14Pambuyo pake ndidzayeretsa madzi ake
ndipo mitsinje yake idzayenda mokometsera ngati mafuta,
akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15Ndikadzasandutsa dziko la Igupto kukhala bwinja;
ndikadzawononga dziko lonse
ndi kukantha onse okhala kumeneko,
adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.’
16“Mawu angawa adzakhala nyimbo ya maliro. Ana a akazi amitundu ya anthu adzayimba, kuyimbira Igupto ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
17Pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi woyamba, chaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anayankhula kuti: 18“Iwe mwana wa munthu, lirira gulu lankhondo la Igupto ndipo uwalowetse pamodzi ndi anthu ena amphamvu a mayiko ena ku dziko la anthu akufa. 19Ufunse kuti, ‘Ndani amene akukuposa kukongola? Tsikirani ku manda ndi kukhala pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe.’ 20Aigupto adzagwa pakati pa amene akuphedwa ndi lupanga. Lupanga ndi losololedwa kale. Iye adzaphedwa pamodzi ndi gulu lake lankhondo. 21Mʼkati mwa manda atsogoleri amphamvu pamodzi ndi ogwirizana nawo azidzakambirana za Igupto nʼkumati, ‘Afika kuno anthu osachita mdulidwe aja! Ndi awa agona apawa, ophedwa pa nkhondo.’
22“Asiriya ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake onse ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewo anaphedwa pa nkhondo. 23Manda awo ali kumalo ozama a dzenje, ndipo ankhondo ake azungulira manda ake. Onse amene anaopseza dziko la anthu amoyo aphedwa, agwa ndi lupanga.
24“Elamu ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewa anaphedwa pa nkhondo, natsikira ku manda ali osachita mdulidwe. Iwowa kale ankaopseza anthu pa dziko lapansi. Tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. 25Amukonzera pogona pakati pa anthu ophedwa, pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda ake. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja anthuwa ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu a moyo. Koma tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. Iwo ayikidwa pakati pa anthu ophedwa.
26“Mesaki ndi Tubala ali komweko, pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda awo. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. 27Iwo sanayikidwe mwaulemu ngati ankhondo amphamvu amakedzana, amene anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa ndi zida zawo zomwe za nkhondo. Malupanga awo anawayika ku mitu yawo, ndipo zishango zawo anaphimba mafupa awo. Kale anthu amphamvu amenewa ankaopsa dziko la anthu amoyo.
28“Iwenso Farao, udzaphwanyidwa ndi kuyikidwa pakati pa anthu osachita mdulidwe, amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga.
29“Edomu ali kumeneko pamodzi ndi mafumu ake ndi akalonga ake onse. Ngakhale anali amphamvu, koma anayikidwa. Ayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje.
30“Akalonga onse akumpoto pamodzi ndi anthu onse a ku Sidoni ali kumeneko. Anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa mwamanyazi ngakhale anali owopsa ndi mphamvu zawo. Iwo akugona osachita mdulidwe pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi iwo amene anatsikira kale ku manda.
31“Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo akadzawaona iwowa adzathunza mtima pokumbukira kuchuluka kwa gulu lake lankhondo limene linaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. 32Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. Koma Faraoyo pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse adzayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
1And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.32.2 whale: or, dragon 3Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 4Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. 5And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 6I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.32.6 the land wherein…: or, the land of thy swimming 7And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.32.7 put…: or, extinguish thee 8All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.32.8 bright…: Heb. lights of the light in heaven32.8 dark: Heb. them dark 9I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.32.9 vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief 10Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
11¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 12By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 13I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 14Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. 15When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.32.15 destitute…: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof 16This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
17¶ It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 18Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. 19Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. 20They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.32.20 she…: or, the sword is laid 21The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. 22Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: 23Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.32.23 terror: or, dismaying 24There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit. 25They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain. 26There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living. 27And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.32.27 with their…: Heb. with weapons of their war 28Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword. 29There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.32.29 laid: Heb. given, or, put 30There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. 31Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. 32For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
