Ezekiel 29

1 On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

In the year tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] two [plus] ten of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 “Son of man, face towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and the whole of Egypt.

O son of humankind set face your on Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and prophesy on him and on Egypt all of it.

3 Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying in your rivers, who says, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it myself.’

Speak and you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt the sea monster great which lies in among canals its which it has said [belongs] to me River my and I I made for myself.

4 I'm going to put hooks in your jaws and make the fish in your river stick to your scales. I will pull you up out of your river, and all the fish will stick to your scales.

And I will put (hooks *Q(k)*) in jaws your and I will make cling [the] fish of canals your to scales your and I will bring up you from among canals your and all [the] fish of canals your to scales your it will cling.

5 I will throw you and the fish away, leaving you in the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left in the open. It won't be collected or taken to be buried. I'll leave you as food for wild animals and birds of prey.

And I will abandon you the wilderness towards you and all [the] fish of canals your on [the] surface of the field you will fall not you will be gathered and not you will be gathered to [the] animal[s] of the earth and to [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will give you for food.

6 Then everyone in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. When you had to deal with the people of Israel you were like a flimsy walking stick made from a reed.

And they will know all [the] inhabitants of Egypt that I [am] Yahweh because have been they a staff of reed for [the] house of Israel.

7 When Israel grabbed hold of you, you split apart, damaging their shoulder. When they leaned on you, you broke, putting their backs out.

When seized they you (by the hand *Q(K)*) you were crushed and you broke of them every shoulder and when leaned they on you you were broken and you caused to stand of them all hips.

8 So this is what the Lord God says: I will attack you with a sword and kill both people and animals.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring on you a sword and I will cut off from you humankind and animal[s].

9 Egypt will become an empty wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Because you said, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it,’

And it will become [the] land of Egypt a desolation and a ruin and they will know that I [am] Yahweh because he said [the] River [belongs] to me and I I made [it].

10 that's why I'm condemning you and your river. I will ruin Egypt, making it into an empty wasteland all the way from Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, and up to the border with Cush.

Therefore here I [am] against you and against canals your and I will make [the] land of Egypt ruins of destruction a desolation from Migdol Syene and to [the] border of Cush.

11 No one, human or animal, will travel that way or live there for forty years.

Not it will pass in it [the] foot of human[s] and [the] foot of animal[s] not it will pass in it and not it will remain forty year[s].

12 I will make Egypt more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will lie in ruins for forty years among all the other ruined towns. I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.

And I will make [the] land of Egypt a desolation in midst of - lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities laid waste they will be a desolation forty year[s] and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

13 However, this is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the different countries where they were scattered.

For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh from [the] end of forty year[s] I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered there towards.

14 I will bring Egypt out of captivity and take them back to the land of Pathros, where they originally came from. Their kingdom will be insignificant.

And I will turn back [the] captivity of Egypt and I will bring back them [the] land of Pathros to [the] land of origin their and they will be there a kingdom lowly.

15 Egypt will be the lowest of kingdoms and won't ever be more important than other nations again. I will bring Egypt down so that it won't ever be able to rule over the nations again.

More than the kingdoms it will be lowly and not it will exalt itself again over the nations and I will make small them to not to rule over the nations.

16 The people of Israel won't ever trust in Egypt again; instead they will be reminded them of their sin when they turned to the Egyptians for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”

And not it will become again for [the] house of Israel a confidence bringing to remembrance iniquity when turned they after them and they will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.

17 On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

And it was in twenty and seven year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army work really hard in the siege against Tyre. The soldiers had their hair worn off their heads, and their shoulders rubbed raw. However, he and his army didn't gain any benefit from Tyre for all the work they did in attacking it.

O son of humankind Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon he made to labor army his labor great against Tyre every head [was] made bald and every shoulder [was] made bare and wage[s] not it belonged to him and to army his from Tyre on the labor which he had labored on it.

19 So this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who will seize everything valuable. He will loot the country, robbing it to pay his army.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [the] land of Egypt and he will carry off wealth its and he will plunder plunder its and he will take as spoil spoil its and it will be wage[s] for army his.

20 I'm rewarding him for all his work by giving him Egypt because the work they did was for me, declares the Lord God.

Recompense his which he served for it I have given to him [the] land of Egypt that they acted for me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

21 At that time I will give power back to the people of Israel and I will help you speak to them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

On the day that I will make grow a horn for [the] house of Israel and to you I will give opening of mouth in midst of them and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
