Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord will ascend upon a lofty cloud, and he will enter into Egypt, and the false images of Egypt will be moved before his face, and the heart of Egypt will waste away in its midst.
Onus Aegypti. Ecce Dominus ascendet super nubem levem, et ingredietur Aegyptum, et commovebuntur simulachra Aegypti a facie eius, et cor Aegypti tabescet in medio eius.
2 And I will cause Egyptian to rush against Egyptian. And they will fight: a man against his brother, and a man against his friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Et concurrere faciam Aegyptios adversus Aegyptios: et pugnabit vir contra fratrem suum, et vir contra amicum suum, civitas adversus civitatem, regnum adversus regnum.
3 And the spirit of Egypt will be ruptured to its very core. And I will cast down their plan violently. And they will seek answers from their false images, and their diviners, and those led by demons, and their seers.
Et dirumpetur spiritus Aegypti in visceribus eius, et consilium eius praecipitabo: et interrogabunt simulachra sua, et divinos suos, et pythones, et ariolos.
4 And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will dominate them, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
Et tradam Aegyptum in manu dominorum crudelium, et rex fortis dominabitur eorum, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
5 And the waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be desolate and dry.
Et arescet aqua de mari, et fluvius desolabitur, atque siccabitur.
6 And the rivers will fail. The streams of its banks will diminish and dry up. The reed and the bulrush will wither away.
Et deficient flumina: attenuabuntur, et siccabuntur rivi aggerum. Calamus et iuncus marcescet:
7 The channel of the river will be stripped down to its source, and everything irrigated by it will dry up and wither and be no more.
nudabitur alveus rivi a fonte suo, et omnis sementis irrigua siccabitur, arescet, et non erit.
8 And the fishermen will grieve. And all who cast a hook into the river will mourn. And those who cast a net upon the surface of its waters will languish.
Et moerebunt piscatores, et lugebunt omnes mittentes in flumen hamum, et expandentes rete super faciem aquarum emarcescent.
9 Those who work with linen, combing and weaving fine textiles, will be confounded.
Confundentur qui operabantur linum, pectentes, et texentes subtilia.
10 And its irrigated places will begin to fail, with all those who make pools to take fish.
Et erunt irrigua eius flaccentia: omnes qui faciebant lacunas ad capiendos pisces.
11 The leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: “I am the son of wise men, the son of the kings of antiquity?”
Stulti principes Taneos, sapientes consiliarii Pharaonis dederunt consilium insipiens: quomodo dicitis Pharaoni: Filius sapientium ego, filius regum antiquorum?
12 Where are your wise men now? Let them announce it to you, and let them reveal what the Lord of hosts intends for Egypt.
Ubi nunc sunt sapientes tui? annuncient tibi, et indicent quid cogitaverit Dominus exercituum super Aegyptum.
13 The leaders of Tanis have become foolish. The leaders of Memphis have decayed. They have deceived Egypt, the corner of its people.
Stulti facti sunt principes Taneos, emarcuerunt principes Mempheos, deceperunt Aegyptum, angulum populorum eius.
14 The Lord has mixed a spirit of giddiness into its midst. And they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, like a drunken man who staggers and vomits.
Dominus miscuit in medio eius spiritum vertiginis: et errare fecerunt Aegyptum in omni opere suo, sicut errat ebrius et vomens.
15 And there will be no work for Egypt that would produce a head or a tail, one who bows down or one who refrains from bowing down.
Et non erit Aegypto opus, quod faciat caput et caudam incurvantem, et refrenantem.
16 In that day, Egypt will be like women, and they will be stupefied and fearful before the presence of the shaking hand of the Lord of hosts, the hand which he will move over them.
In die illa erit Aegyptus quasi mulieres, et stupebunt, et timebunt a facie commotionis manus Domini exercituum. quam ipse movebit super eam.
17 And the land of Judah will be a dread to Egypt. Everyone who thinks about it will be terrified before the presence of the plan of the Lord of hosts, the plan which he has decided concerning them.
Et erit Terra Iuda Aegypto in pavorem: omnis, qui illius fuerit recordatus, pavebit a facie consilii Domini exercituum, quod ipse cogitavit super eam.
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan, and which swear by the Lord of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
In die illa erunt quinque civitates in Terra Aegypti, loquentes lingua Chanaan, et iurantes per Dominum exercituum: Civitas solis vocabitur una.
19 In that day, there will be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a monument of the Lord beside its borders.
In die illa erit altare Domini in medio Terrae Aegypti, et titulus Domini iuxta terminum eius
20 This shall be a sign and a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they will cry out to the Lord before the face of the tribulation, and he will send them a savior and a defender who will free them.
erit in signum, et in testimonium Domino exercituum in Terra Aegypti. Clamabunt enim ad Dominum a facie tribulationis, et mittet eis salvatorem et propugnatorem, qui liberet eos.
21 And the Lord will be acknowledged by Egypt, and the Egyptians will recognize the Lord in that day, and they will worship him with sacrifices and gifts. And they will make vows to the Lord, and they will fulfill them.
Et cognoscetur Dominus ab Aegypto, et cognoscent Aegyptii Dominum in die illa, et colent eum in hostiis et in muneribus: et vota vovebunt Domino, et solvent.
22 And the Lord will strike Egypt with a scourge, and he will heal them. And they will return to the Lord. And he will be placated toward them, and he will heal them.
Et percutiet Dominus Aegyptum plaga, et sanabit eam, et revertentur ad Dominum, et placabitur eis, et sanabit eos.
23 In that day, there will be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian will enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian will be with the Assyrians, and the Egyptians will serve Assur.
In die illa erit via de Aegypto in Assyrios, et intrabit Assyrius Aegyptum, et Aegyptius in Assyrios, et servient Aegyptii Assur.
24 In that day, will Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
In die illa erit Israel tertius Aegyptio et Assyrio: benedictio in medio terrae,
25 which the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands for the Assyrian, but Israel is my inheritance.
cui benedixit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Benedictus populus meus Aegypti, et opus manuum mearum Assyrio: hereditas autem mea Israel.
