Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt: "Look, YHWH rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
Onus Ægypti. Ecce Dominus ascendet super nubem levem, et ingredietur Ægyptum, et commovebuntur simulachra Ægypti a facie eius, et cor Ægypti tabescet in medio eius.
2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Et concurrere faciam Ægyptios adversus Ægyptios: et pugnabit vir contra fratrem suum, et vir contra amicum suum, civitas adversus civitatem, regnum adversus regnum.
3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, spirits of the dead, mediums, and spiritists.
Et dirumpetur spiritus Ægypti in visceribus eius, et consilium eius præcipitabo: et interrogabunt simulachra sua, et divinos suos, et pythones, et ariolos.
4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them," says YHWH of hosts.
Et tradam Ægyptum in manu dominorum crudelium, et rex fortis dominabitur eorum, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
Et arescet aqua de mari, et fluvius desolabitur, atque siccabitur.
6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
Et deficient flumina: attenuabuntur, et siccabuntur rivi aggerum. Calamus et iuncus marcescet:
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
nudabitur alveus rivi a fonte suo, et omnis sementis irrigua siccabitur, arescet, et non erit.
8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
Et mœrebunt piscatores, et lugebunt omnes mittentes in flumen hamum, et expandentes rete super faciem aquarum emarcescent.
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
Confundentur qui operabantur linum, pectentes, et texentes subtilia.
10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
Et erunt irrigua eius flaccentia: omnes qui faciebant lacunas ad capiendos pisces.
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
Stulti principes Taneos, sapientes consiliarii Pharaonis dederunt consilium insipiens: quomodo dicetis Pharaoni: Filius sapientium ego, filius regum antiquorum?
12 Where then are your sages? And let them tell you now; and let them know what YHWH of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
Ubi nunc sunt sapientes tui? Annuncient tibi, et indicent quid cogitaverit Dominus exercituum super Ægyptum.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
Stulti facti sunt principes Taneos, emarcuerunt principes Mempheos, deceperunt Ægyptum, angulum populorum eius.
14 YHWH has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
Dominus miscuit in medio eius spiritum vertiginis: et errare fecerunt Ægyptum in omni opere suo, sicut errat ebrius et vomens.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
Et non erit Ægypto opus, quod faciat caput et caudam incurvantem, et refrenantem.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of YHWH of hosts, which he shakes over them.
In die illa erit Ægyptus quasi mulieres, et stupebunt, et timebunt a facie commotionis manus Domini exercituum, quam ipse movebit super eam.
17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of YHWH of hosts, which he determines against it.
Et erit Terra Iuda Ægypto 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 that speak the language of Canaan, and swear loyalty to YHWH of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
In die illa erunt quinque civitates in Terra Ægypti, loquentes lingua Chanaan, et iurantes per Dominum exercituum: Civitas solis vocabitur una.
19 In that day, there will be an altar to YHWH in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to YHWH at its border.
In die illa erit altare Domini in medio Terræ Ægypti, et titulus Domini iuxta terminum eius:
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to YHWH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to YHWH because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
erit in signum, et in testimonium Domino exercituum in Terra Ægypti. Clamabunt enim ad Dominum a facie tribulationis, et mittet eis salvatorem et propugnatorem, qui liberet eos.
21 YHWH will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know YHWH in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make vows to YHWH, and will perform them.
Et cognoscetur Dominus ab Ægypto, et cognoscent Ægyptii Dominum in die illa, et colent eum in hostiis et in muneribus: et vota vovebunt Domino, et solvent.
22 YHWH will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to YHWH, and he will listen to their pleas, and will heal them.
Et percutiet Dominus Ægyptum plaga, et sanabit eam, et revertentur ad Dominum, et placabitur eis, et sanabit eos.
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
In die illa erit via de Ægypto in Assyrios, et intrabit Assyrius Ægyptum, et Ægyptius in Assyrios, et servient Ægyptii Assur.
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
In die illa erit Israel tertius Ægyptio et Assyrio: benedictio in medio terræ,
25 because YHWH of hosts has blessed them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance."
cui benedixit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Benedictus populus meus Ægypti, et opus manuum mearum Assyrio: hereditas autem mea Israel.
