Ezekiel 30

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh wail alas! for the day.

“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’

3 For [is] near a day and [is] near a day of Yahweh a day of cloud[s] a time of nations it will be.

For the day is near, even the LORD’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

4 And it will come a sword on Egypt and it will be anguish on Cush when fall [the] slain in Egypt and people will take away wealth its and they will be torn down foundations its.

A sword will come on Egypt, and anguish will be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt. They take away her multitude, and her foundations are broken down.

5 Cush and Put and Lud and every foreigner and Libya and [the] sons of [the] land of the covenant with them by the sword they will fall.

“‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will fall with them by the sword.”

6 Thus he says Yahweh and they will fall [the] supporters of Egypt and it will come down [the] pride of strength its from Migdol Syene by the sword they will fall in it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

“‘The LORD says: “They also who uphold Egypt will fall. The pride of her power will come down. They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh,” says the Lord GOD.

7 And they will be desolate in midst of lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities made waste they will be.

“They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities will be among the cities that are wasted.

8 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I fire in Egypt and they will be broken all helpers its.

They will know that I am the LORD when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

9 On the day that they will go out messengers from to before me in the ships to make tremble Cush security and it will be anguish on them on [the] day of Egypt for there! [it is] coming.

“‘“In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”

10 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will put an end to [the] multitude of Egypt by [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.

“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

11 He and people his with him ruthless [ones] of nations [will be] brought to destroy the land and they will draw swords their on Egypt and they will fill the land [the] slain.

He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

12 And I will make canals dry ground and I will sell the land in [the] hand of wicked [people] and I will devastate [the] land and what fills it by [the] hand of strangers I Yahweh I have spoken.

I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of foreigners. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”

13 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will destroy idols and I will cause to cease worthless idols from Memphis and a prince from [the] land of Egypt not he will be again and I will put fear in [the] land of Egypt.

“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt. I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

14 And I will devastate Pathros and I will put fire in Zoan and I will bring about judgments on Thebes.

I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.

15 And I will pour out rage my on Sin [the] stronghold of Egypt and I will cut off [the] multitude of Thebes.

I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt. I will cut off the multitude of No.

16 And I will put fire in Egypt surely (it will writhe in agony *Q(k)*) Sin and Thebes it is [about] to be broken into and Memphis distress of daytime.

I will set a fire in Egypt Sin will be in great anguish. No will be broken up. Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime.

17 [the] young men of On and Pi-beseth by the sword they will fall and they [fem] in captivity they will go.

The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword. They will go into captivity.

18 And in Tahpanhes it will withhold the day when break I there [the] yoke-bars of Egypt and it will cease in it [the] pride of strength its it a cloud it will cover it and daughters its in captivity they will go.

At Tehaphnehes also the day will withdraw itself, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. The pride of her power will cease in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

19 And I will bring about judgments on Egypt and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’”

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

In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

21 O son of humankind [the] arm of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt I have broken and there! not it has been bound up to give healing to put a bandage to bind up it to be strong it to wield the sword.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it may become strong to hold the sword.

22 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and I will break arms his the strong [one] and the broken [one] and I will make fall the sword from hand his.

Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken. I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

24 And I will make strong [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and I will put sword my in hand his and I will break [the] arms of Pharaoh and he will groan [the] groans of [one] fatally wounded before him.

I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before the king of Babylon with the groaning of a mortally wounded man.

25 And I will strengthen [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and [the] arms of Pharaoh they will fall and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I sword my in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will stretch out it against [the] land of Egypt.

I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out on the land of Egypt.

26 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
