Ezekiel 29

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعَاشِرَةِ، فِي ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا.

3 Speak, and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, 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.

٣ تَكَلَّمْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، ٱلتِّمْسَاحُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلرَّابِضُ فِي وَسْطِ أَنْهَارِهِ، ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: نَهْرِي لِي، وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي.

4 And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick to thy scales.

٤ فَأَجْعَلُ خَزَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ وَأُلْزِقُ سَمَكَ أَنْهَارِكَ بِحَرْشَفِكَ، وَأُطْلِعُكَ مِنْ وَسْطِ أَنْهَارِكَ وَكُلُّ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ مُلْزَقٌ بِحَرْشَفِكَ.

5 And I will cast thee forth into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers. Thou shall fall upon the open field. Thou shall not be brought together, nor gathered. I have given thee for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

٥ وَأَتْرُكُكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعَ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ. عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ تَسْقُطُ فَلَا تُجْمَعُ وَلَا تُلَمُّ. بَذَلْتُكَ طَعَامًا لِوُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَلِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

٦ وَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ مِصْرَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ أَجْلِ كَوْنِهِمْ عُكَّازَ قَصَبٍ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou broke, and tore all their shoulders. And when they leaned upon thee, thou broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand still.

٧ عِنْدَ مَسْكِهِمْ بِكَ بِٱلْكَفِّ، ٱنْكَسَرْتَ وَمَزَّقْتَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ كَتِفٍ، وَلَمَّا تَوَكَّأُوا عَلَيْكَ ٱنْكَسَرْتَ وَقَلْقَلْتَ كُلَّ مُتُونِهِمْ.

8 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.

٨ «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ سَيْفًا، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ.

9 And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. And they shall know that I am Jehovah. Because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it,

٩ وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً وَخَرِبَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: ٱلنَّهْرُ لِي وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ.

10 therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy 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.

١٠ لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَنْهَارِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ خِرَبًا خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً، مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ، إِلَى تُخْمِ كُوشَ.

11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it. Neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

١١ لَا تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلَا تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ بَهِيمَةٍ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

12 And I 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.

١٢ وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلْمُقْفِرَةِ، وَمُدُنَهَا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْخَرِبَةِ تَكُونُ مُقْفِرَةً أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَأُشَتِّتُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

13 For thus says the lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered,

١٣ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: عِنْدَ نَهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَجْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا بَيْنَهُمْ،

14 and 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 a base kingdom there.

١٤ وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ فَتْرُوسَ، إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِهِمْ، وَيَكُونُونَ هُنَاكَ مَمْلَكَةً حَقِيرَةً.

15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms, nor shall it lift itself up any more above the nations. And I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

١٥ تَكُونُ أَحْقَرَ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ فَلَا تَرْتَفِعُ بَعْدُ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُقَلِّلُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ.

16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them. And they shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.

١٦ فَلَا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ مُعْتَمَدًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُذَكِّرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ بِٱنْصِرَافِهِمْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١٧ وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:

18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn, yet he had no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.

١٨ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ ٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَيْشَهُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً عَلَى صُورَ. كُلُّ رَأْسٍ قَرِعَ، وَكُلُّ كَتِفٍ تَجَرَّدَتْ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَا لِجَيْشِهِ أُجْرَةٌ مِنْ صُورَ لِأَجْلِ خِدْمَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي خَدَمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا.

19 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar 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.

١٩ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَبْذُلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَأْخُذُ ثَرْوَتَهَا، وَيَغْنَمُ غَنِيمَتَهَا، وَيَنْهَبُ نَهْبَهَا فَتَكُونُ أُجْرَةً لِجَيْشِهِ.

20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the lord Jehovah.

٢٠ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِأَجْلِ شُغْلِهِ ٱلَّذِي خَدَمَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا لِأَجْلِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

21 In that day I will cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

٢١ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُنْبِتُ قَرْنًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَأَجْعَلُ لَكَ فَتْحَ ٱلْفَمِ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».
