وَفِي مَطْلَعِ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ (أَي شَبَاطَ – فِبْرَايِرَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ (لِسَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاكِينَ) أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: ١ 1
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْدُبْ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ بِمَرْثَاةٍ وَقُلْ لَهُ: أَنْتَ شَبَّهْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِشِبْلٍ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، مَعَ أَنَّكَ مِثْلُ تِمْسَاحٍ فِي الْبِحَارِ. اقْتَحَمْتَ أَنْهَارَكَ وَكَدَّرْتَ الْمَاءَ بِقَدَمَيْكَ وَعَكَّرْتَ أَنْهَارَهُمْ. ٢ 2
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أَنْشُرُ عَلَيْكَ شَبَكَتِي مَعَ أَقْوَامِ شُعُوبٍ غَفِيرَةٍ فَيُصْعِدُونَكَ وَأَنْتَ عَالِقٌ فِيهَا. ٣ 3
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
وَأَتْرُكُكَ مُلْقىً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَأَطْرَحُكَ فِي الْعَرَاءِ، فَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ طُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ تَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْكَ، وَأُشْبِعُ مِنْكَ جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ. ٤ 4
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
وَأَنْثُرُ لَحْمَكَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَمِنْ جِيَفِكَ أَمْلأُ الأَوْدِيَةَ. ٥ 5
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
وَأُرْوِي الأَرْضَ مِنْ دَمِكَ الْجَارِي حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ وَتَفِيضَ بِهِ الْوِهَادُ. ٦ 6
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
وَعِنْدَمَا أُخْمِدُكَ أَحْجُبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَأُظْلِمُ نُجُومَهَا، وَأُكَفِّنُ الشَّمْسَ بِسَحَابٍ، وَلا يُنِيرُ الْقَمَرُ بِضَوْئِهِ. ٧ 7
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
وَأُعْتِمُ فَوْقَكَ كُلَّ أَنْوَارِ السَّمَاءِ الْمُضِيئَةِ، وَأَجْعَلُ الظُّلْمَةَ تَغْمُرُ أَرْضَكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. ٨ 8
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
وَأُشِيعُ الْغَمَّ فِي قُلُوبِ أُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ عِنْدَمَا أَكْسِرُكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ فِي أَرَاضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ عَنْكَ. ٩ 9
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
وَلأَجْلِ مَا يُصِيبُكَ يَعْتَرِي الْفَزَعُ شُعُوباً كَثِيرَةً، وَتَنْتَابُ مُلُوكَهُمْ قَشْعَرِيرَةٌ رَهِيبَةٌ، عِنْدَمَا أَخْطِرُ أَمَامَهُمْ بِسَيْفِي، فَيَرْتَعِدُونَ جَمِيعاً فِي كُلِّ لَحْظَةٍ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ خَوْفاً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي يَوْمِ سُقُوطِكَ. ١٠ 10
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا سَيْفُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ يَقَعُ عَلَيْكَ، ١١ 11
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
فَأُهْلِكُ جُيُوشَكَ بِسُيُوفِ الْجَبَابِرَةِ مِنْ أَعْتَى الأُمَمِ فَيُذِلُّونَ كِبْرِيَاءَ مِصْرَ وَيُفْنُونَ جُيُوشَهَا. ١٢ 12
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
وَأُبِيدُ جَمِيعَ بَهَائِمِهَا الْمُرْتَوِيَةِ مِنَ الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ، فَلا تُكَدِّرُهَا مِنْ بَعْدُ رِجْلُ إِنْسَانٍ وَلا تُعَكِّرُهَا أَظْلافُ الْبَهَائِمِ. ١٣ 13
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
حِينَئِذٍ أَجْعَلُ مِيَاهَهُمْ صَافِيَةً، وَأَنْهَارَهُمْ تَجْرِي بِنُعُومَةٍ كَالزَّيْتِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. ١٤ 14
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
وَحِينَ أُحَوِّلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ إِلَى خَرَابٍ، وَأُقْفِرُهَا مِمَّنْ فِيهَا، وَعِنْدَمَا أَقْضِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِهَا، حِينَئِذٍ يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
هَذِهِ هِيَ الْمَرْثَاةُ الَّتِي تَرْثُو بِها بَنَاتُ الأُمَمِ مِصْرَ وَكُلَّ جُنْدِهَا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». ١٦ 16
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ نَفْسِهِ، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: ١٧ 17
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَلْوِلْ عَلَى شَعْبِ مِصْرَ، وَأُحْدِرْهُ مَعَ سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ الْعَظِيمَةِ إِلَى طَبَقَاتِ الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى مَعَ الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى الْجُبِّ. ١٨ 18
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
عَلَى مَنْ تَفَوَّقْتَ بِالْجَمَالِ؟ انْزِلْ وَارْقُدْ مَعَ الْغُلْفِ. ١٩ 19
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
يَسْقُطُونَ صَرْعَى وَسَطَ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ. قَدْ أُسْلَمَتْ مِصْرُ لِلسَّيْفِ، وَأَسَرُوهَا مَعَ كُلِّ حُلَفَائِهَا. ٢٠ 20
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
يُخَاطِبُهُ صَنَادِيدُ الْجَبَابِرَةِ هُوَ وَأَعْوَانَهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ مَقَرِّ الْمَوْتَى. قَدْ هَبَطُوا وَاضْطَجَعُوا. جَمِيعُهُمْ غُلْفٌ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ. (Sheol h7585) ٢١ 21
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
هُنَاكَ أَشُورُ وَقَوْمُهُ جَمِيعاً قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ قُبُورُهُمْ. كُلُّهُمْ صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ. ٢٢ 22
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
الَّذِينَ صَارَتْ قُبُورُهُمْ فِي أَسَافِلِ الْجُبِّ، وَحَوْلَهُ قُبُورُ حُلَفَائِهِ، كُلُّهُمْ قَتْلَى، صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ. أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَشَاعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. ٢٣ 23
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً عِيلامُ وَحُلَفَاؤُهَا بِأَسْرِهِمْ يُحِيطُونَ بِقَبْرِهَا. جَمِيعُهُمْ غُلْفٌ صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ. هَبَطُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى، أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَشَاعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ، فَحَمَلُوا عَارَهُمْ مَعَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْجُبِّ. ٢٤ 24
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
قَدْ جَعَلُوا لِمِصْرَ وَلِحُلَفَائِهَا مَثْوىً بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى، وَقُبُورُهُمْ حَوْلَ عِيلامَ، كُلُّهُمْ غُلْفٌ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ أَشَاعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. وَهَا هُمْ قَدْ حَمَلُوا عَارَهُمْ مَعَ الْمُنْحَدِريِنَ إِلَى الْجُبِّ. عِيلامُ أَيْضاً وَسَطَ الْقَتْلَى. ٢٥ 25
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً مَاشِكُ وَتُوبَالُ وَكُلُّ حُلَفَائِهِمَا تُحِيطُ بِهِمَا قُبُورُهُمْ. كُلُّهُمْ غُلْفٌ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ أَشَاعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. ٢٦ 26
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَثْوُونَ مَعَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ الصَّرْعَى مِنَ الْغُلْفِ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى مَقَرِّ الْمَوْتَى، الَّذِينَ دُفِنُوا بِأَسْلِحَتِهِمْ، وَقَدْ وُضِعَتْ سُيُوفُهُمْ تَحْتَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ. إِنَّمَا يَحُلُّ عَلَى عِظَامِهِمْ عِقَابُ آثَامِهِمْ مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ أَشَاعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. (Sheol h7585) ٢٧ 27
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ فَفِي وَسَطِ الْغُلْفِ تَنْكَسِرُ، وَتَرْقُدُ بَيْنَ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ. ٢٨ 28
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً أَدُومُ وَمُلُوكُهَا وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا مِمَّنْ طُرِحُوا مَعَ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ رَغْمَ عُتُوِّهِمْ. هَؤُلاءِ يَرْقُدُونَ مَعَ الْغُلْفِ وَمَعَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْجُبِّ. ٢٩ 29
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
وَهُنَاكَ أُمَرَاءُ الشِّمَالِ جَمِيعُهُمْ وَكُلُّ الصَّيْدُونِيِّينَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ مَعَ الْقَتْلَى، رَغْمَ مَا أَشَاعُوهُ مِنْ رُعْبٍ نَاجِمٍ عَنْ طُغْيَانِهِمْ. قَدْ رَقَدُوا غُلْفاً مَعَ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ، وَحَمَلُوا عَارَهُمْ مَعَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْجُبِّ. ٣٠ 30
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
يَرَاهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ جَمِيعاً فَيَتَعَزَّى عَنْ جَمِيعِ حُلَفَائِهِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمُ السَّيْفُ، وَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى فِرْعَوْنُ وَجَيْشُهُ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. ٣١ 31
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
فَمَعَ أَنِّي أَشَعْتُ رُعْبَهُ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ، فَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَحُلَفَاءَهُ كُلَّهُمْ سَيَرْقُدُونَ بَيْنَ الْغُلْفِ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». ٣٢ 32
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
