1 and to be in/on/with two ten year in/on/with two ten month in/on/with one to/for month to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 son: child man to lift: raise dirge upon Pharaoh king Egypt and to say to(wards) him lion nation to resemble and you(m. s.) like/as dragon in/on/with sea and to burst/come out in/on/with river your and to trouble water in/on/with foot your and to foul river their

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.

3 thus to say Lord YHWH/God and to spread upon you [obj] net my in/on/with assembly people many and to ascend: attack you in/on/with net my

But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.

At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

11 for thus to say Lord YHWH/God sword king Babylon to come (in): come you

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.

12 in/on/with sword mighty man to fall: kill crowd your ruthless nation all their and to ruin [obj] pride Egypt and to destroy all crowd her

I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.

13 and to perish [obj] all animal her from upon water many and not to trouble them foot man still and hoof animal not to trouble them

On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

18 son: child man to wail upon crowd Egypt and to go down him [obj] her and daughter nation great to(wards) land: country/planet lower with to go down pit

“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.

Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.

They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people.
