Ezekiel 29

1 Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],

in/on/with year [the] tenth in/on/with tenth in/on/with two ten to/for month to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

2 “You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.

son: child man to set: make face your upon Pharaoh king Egypt and to prophesy upon him and upon Egypt all her

3 Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”

to speak: speak and to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I upon you Pharaoh king Egypt [the] serpent: monster [the] great: large [the] to stretch in/on/with midst Nile his which to say to/for me Nile my and I to make me

4 But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.

and to give: put (hook *Q(k)*) in/on/with jaw your and to cleave fish stream your in/on/with scale your and to ascend: establish you from midst stream your and [obj] all fish stream your in/on/with scale your to cleave

5 I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.

and to leave you [the] wilderness [to] [obj] you and [obj] all fish stream your upon face: surface [the] land: country to fall: kill not to gather and not to gather to/for living thing [the] land: soil and to/for bird [the] heaven to give: give you to/for food

6 When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.

and to know all to dwell Egypt for I LORD because to be they staff branch: stem to/for house: household Israel

7 And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.

in/on/with to capture they in/on/with you (in/on/with palm *Q(K)*) to crush and to break up/open to/for them all shoulder and in/on/with to lean they upon you to break and to shake to/for them all loin

8 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I to come (in): bring upon you sword and to cut: eliminate from you man and animal

9 Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”

and to be land: country/planet Egypt to/for devastation and desolation and to know for I LORD because to say Nile to/for me and I to make

10 Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.

to/for so look! I to(wards) you and to(wards) stream your and to give: make [obj] land: country/planet Egypt to/for desolation desolation devastation from Migdol Syene and till border: boundary Cush

11 For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.

not to pass in/on/with her foot man and foot animal not to pass in/on/with her and not to dwell forty year

12 Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].

and to give: make [obj] land: country/planet Egypt devastation in/on/with midst land: country/planet be desolate: destroyed and city her in/on/with midst city to destroy to be devastation forty year and to scatter [obj] Egypt in/on/with nation and to scatter them in/on/with land: country/planet

13 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.

for thus to say Lord YHWH/God from end forty year to gather [obj] Egypt from [the] people which to scatter there [to]

14 I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.

and to return: rescue [obj] captivity Egypt and to return: return [obj] them land: country/planet Pathros upon land: country/planet origin their and to be there kingdom low

15 It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.

from [the] kingdom to be low and not to lift: exalt still upon [the] nation and to diminish them to/for lest to rule in/on/with nation

16 [When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”

and not to be still to/for house: household Israel to/for confidence to remember iniquity: crime in/on/with to turn they after them and to know for I Lord YHWH/God

17 Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:

and to be in/on/with twenty and seven year in/on/with first in/on/with one to/for month to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

18 “You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].

son: child man Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon to serve: labour [obj] strength: soldiers his service: work great: large to(wards) Tyre all head to make bald and all shoulder to smooth and wages not to be to/for him and to/for strength: soldiers his from Tyre upon [the] service: work which to serve: labour upon her

19 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I to give: give to/for Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon [obj] land: country/planet Egypt and to lift: bear crowd her and to loot spoil her and to plunder plunder her and to be wages to/for strength: soldiers his

20 I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].

wages his which to serve: labour in/on/with her to give: give to/for him [obj] land: country/planet Egypt which to make: do to/for me utterance Lord YHWH/God

21 And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”

in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to spring horn to/for house: household Israel and to/for you to give: do opening lip in/on/with midst their and to know for I LORD
