Isaiah 19
1 The oracle on Egypt: Lo! Yahweh, riding upon a swift cloud, and he will enter Egypt, And the idols of Egypt shall shake at his presence, And, the heart of Egypt, shall melt within him;
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 stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, And they shall fight—Every one against his brother and Every one against his neighbour, —City against city, and 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, shall vanish, within them, Yea the sagacity thereof, will I swallow up, —And they will seek Unto the idols and Unto them that mutter, and Unto them that have familiar spirits, and Unto the wizards;
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 the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord, —And a fierce king shall rule over them, Declareth the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
Et tradam Aegyptum in manu dominorum crudelium, et rex fortis dominabitur eorum, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
5 And the waters shall be dried up from the great stream, —And the River, shall waste and be dry;
Et arescet aqua de mari, et fluvius desolabitur, atque siccabitur.
6 And rivers, shall stink, The canals of Egypt be shallow and waste, Reed and rush, be withered;
Et deficient flumina: attenuabuntur, et siccabuntur rivi aggerum. Calamus et iuncus marcescet:
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile. And all that is sown in the Nile, Shall be dry, driven away, and not be!
nudabitur alveus rivi a fonte suo, et omnis sementis irrigua siccabitur, arescet, et non erit.
8 Then shall the fishers, lament, And all shall mourn who cast in the Nile a hook, —And they who spread nets on the face of the waters shall languish;
Et moerebunt piscatores, et lugebunt omnes mittentes in flumen hamum, et expandentes rete super faciem aquarum emarcescent.
9 Then shall turn pale The workers in combed flax, —and The weavers of white linen;
Confundentur qui operabantur linum, pectentes, et texentes subtilia.
10 Then shall her pillars be crushed, —All who make wages, be bowed down in soul.
Et erunt irrigua eius flaccentia: omnes qui faciebant lacunas ad capiendos pisces.
11 Surely, foolish, are the princes of Zoan, the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh, in counsel are brutish, —How can ye say unto Pharaoh, Son of the wise, am I Son of the kings of olden time?
Stulti principes Taneos, sapientes consiliarii Pharaonis dederunt consilium insipiens: quomodo dicitis Pharaoni: Filius sapientium ego, filius regum antiquorum?
12 Where then are thy wise men? Pray let them tell thee! And let them know what Yahweh of hosts hath purposed on Egypt!
Ubi nunc sunt sapientes tui? annuncient tibi, et indicent quid cogitaverit Dominus exercituum super Aegyptum.
13 Doting are the princes of Zoan, Deceived are the princes of Noph: They who are the corner-stone of her tribes, have led Egypt astray.
Stulti facti sunt principes Taneos, emarcuerunt principes Mempheos, deceperunt Aegyptum, angulum populorum eius.
14 Yahweh, hath infused in her midst, a spirit of perverseness, —And they have led Egypt astray into all his own doings, As a drunken man staggereth into his own vomit;
Dominus miscuit in medio eius spiritum vertiginis: et errare fecerunt Aegyptum in omni opere suo, sicut errat ebrius et vomens.
15 And Egypt shall have nothing which can be done, Which head or tail, palm-top or rush, can do!
Et non erit Aegypto opus, quod faciat caput et caudam incurvantem, et refrenantem.
16 In that day, shall Egypt be like unto women, —And shall start and tremble because of the brandishing of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which he is about to brandish over it.
In die illa erit Aegyptus quasi mulieres, et stupebunt, et timebunt a facie commotionis manus Domini exercituum. quam ipse movebit super eam.
17 Then shall the soil of Judah become, to Egypt, a terror; Every one to whom it is mentioned, will tremble, —Because of the purpose of Yahweh of hosts, which he is purposing against it.
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, shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing unto Yahweh of hosts, —The city of destruction, shall be the name of one!
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, shall there be An altar unto Yahweh, in the midst of the land of Egypt, —And a pillar near the boundary thereof unto Yahweh;
In die illa erit altare Domini in medio Terrae Aegypti, et titulus Domini iuxta terminum eius
20 And it shall become a sign and a witness unto Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt, —For they will make outcry unto Yahweh, because of oppressors, That he would send them a saviour—and a great one Then will he deliver 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 Then will, Yahweh, make himself known, to the Egyptians, So shall the Egyptians know, Yahweh, in that day, —And they will offer a sacrifice and a present And will vow a vow unto Yahweh and will perform.
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 Yahweh, will plague Egypt, plague and heal, —And they will turn unto Yahweh And he will be entreated of them and 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, shall there be a highway. from Egypt to Assyria, And, the Assyrians, shall come into Egypt, And, the Egyptians, into Assyria; And, the Egyptians shall serve, with the Assyrians.
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, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria, —A blessing in the midst of the earth:
In die illa erit Israel tertius Aegyptio et Assyrio: benedictio in medio terrae,
25 Whom Yahweh of hosts hath blessed saying, —Blessed, be My people—the Egyptians, And the work of my hands—the Assyrians, And mine own inheritance—Israel.
cui benedixit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Benedictus populus meus Aegypti, et opus manuum mearum Assyrio: hereditas autem mea Israel.
