Yo, son of man, spit some truth and say, "The Lord God is like, 'Y'all better vibe check this day!"
Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
That day is coming, like, super soon; the Lord's day is near, it's gonna be a cloudy vibe; time for the heathens to go wild.
For the day {is} near, even the day of the LORD {is} near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
The sword’s about to drop on Egypt, and Ethiopia’s gonna catch the heat, 'cause the fallen are gonna hit the ground hard, and they’re taking down the squad, breaking the whole scene.
And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down. {pain: or, fear}

The Lord’s like, "Those who ride for Egypt are gonna fall too; her pride’s going down, they’re gonna drop from the tower of Syene by the sword, says the Lord God."

They’re gonna be totally desolate in the already wrecked lands, and her cities will be among the ruined ones.
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries {that are} desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities {that are} wasted.
They’ll know I’m the Lord when I light up Egypt, and all her crew gets wiped out.
And they shall know that I {am} the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and {when} all her helpers shall be destroyed. {destroyed: Heb. broken}
On that day, messengers will roll out from me in ships to make those chill Ethiopians shook, and big pain's coming for them, just like in Egypt: it’s on the way.
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

So, in the eleventh year, first month, seventh day, the word of the Lord hits me, saying,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first {month}, in the seventh {day} of the month, {that} the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Yo, I just snapped Pharaoh's arm, and it ain't getting fixed, no cap. Can't even clutch a sword now.
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
So God said, "Listen up, I'm coming for Pharaoh, breaking those strong arms, and his sword's gonna drop, fr."
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I {am} against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
I'm gonna spread the Egyptians out like confetti among the nations, no doubt.
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
I’m boosting Babylon's king, giving him my sword, but Pharaoh's arms? Straight broken, and he'll be moaning like he's out of the game.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded {man}.
I'm giving Babylon's king a power-up, while Pharaoh's arms hit the ground; they'll know I'm the Lord when my sword's in Babylon's hand, ready to flex on Egypt.
But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I {am} the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
I'm scattering the Egyptians everywhere, and they'll realize I'm the Lord, periodt.
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I {am} the LORD.
