Ezekiel 32

1 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,

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

2 “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.

O son of humankind take up a lamentation on Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and you will say to him a young lion of nations you became like and you [were] like sea monster in the seas and you burst forth in rivers your and you made turbid waters with feet your and you fouled rivers their.

3 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.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will spread over you net my by a company of peoples many and they will bring up you in net my.

4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.

And I will abandon you on the land on [the] surface of the field I will throw you and I will cause to settle on you every bird of the heavens and I will satisfy from you [the] animal[s] of all the earth.

5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.

And I will put flesh your on the mountains and I will fill the valleys height your.

6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

And I will make drink [the] land outflow your from blood your to the mountains and ravines they will be filled! from you.

7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.

And I will cover when extinguishing you heavens and I will darken stars their [the] sun with cloud I will cover it and [the] moon not it will give light light its.

8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.

All [the] luminaries of light in the heavens I will darken them over you and I will put darkness over land your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.

And I will disturb [the] heart of peoples many when bring I breaking your among the nations to lands which not you have known them.

10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

And I will make appalled on you peoples many and kings their they will shudder on you shuddering when brandish I sword my on faces their and they will tremble to moments everyone for life his on [the] day of downfall your.

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

For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] sword of [the] king of Babylon it will come to you.

12 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.

By [the] swords of warriors I will make fall multitude your ruthless [ones] of nations all of them and they will devastate [the] pride of Egypt and it will be destroyed all multitude its.

13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.

And I will destroy all livestock its from at waters many and not it will make turbid them a foot of a human again and hooves of livestock not it will make turbid them.

14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.

Then I will make settle waters their and rivers their like oil I will make go [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’

When make I [the] land of Egypt a desolation and [is] made desolate [the] land from fullness its when strike down I all [the] inhabitants in it and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”

[is] a lamentation It and people will chant it [the] daughters of the nations they will chant it over Egypt and over all multitude its they will chant it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

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

And it was in two [plus] ten year on [day] fif-teen of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

18 “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.

O son of humankind wail on [the] multitude of Egypt and bring down it it and [the] daughters of nations mighty to [the] earth of [the] lowest parts with [those who] go down of [the] pit.

19 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.

More than whom? are you lovely go down! and be laid! with uncircumcised [men].

20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.

In among [those] slain of a sword they will fall a sword it has been appointed they have drawn down it and all multitudes its.

21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)

They will speak to him [the] leaders of [the] mighty [ones] from [the] midst of Sheol with helpers his they have come down they have lain down the uncircumcised [men] [those] slain of a sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

[is] there Assyria and all company its [are] around it graves its all of them [are] slain those [who] have fallen by the sword.

23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.

Which they have been put graves its in [the] remotest parts of [the] pit and it was company its around grave its all of them [are] slain [those who] have fallen by the sword who they had put terror in [the] land of [the] living.

24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.

[is] there Elam and all multitude its around grave its all of them [are] slain those [who] have fallen by the sword who they have gone down uncircumcised - into [the] earth of [the] lowest parts who they had put terror their in [the] land of [the] living and they have borne disgrace their with [those who] go down of [the] pit.

25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.

In among [those] slain people have made a bed for it among all multitude its [are] around it graves its all of them [are] uncircumcised [those] slain of a sword for it was put terror their in [the] land of [the] living and they have borne disgrace their with [those who] go down of [the] pit in among [those] slain it was made.

26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.

[is] there Meshech Tubal and all multitude its [are] around it graves its all of them [are] uncircumcised pierced of [the] sword for they had put terror their in [the] land of [the] living.

27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)

And not they lie with warriors fallen from uncircumcised [men] who they went down Sheol with [the] weapons of war their and people put swords their under heads their and it was iniquities their on bones their for terror of warriors [was] in [the] land of [the] living. (Sheol h7585)

28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.

And you in among uncircumcised [men] you will be broken and you may lie with [those] slain of a sword.

29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.

[is] there Edom kings its and all princes its who they have been put in strength their with [those] slain of a sword they with uncircumcised [men] they will lie and with [those who] go down of [the] pit.

30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.

[are] there Princes of [the] north all of them and all [the] Sidonian[s] who they have gone down with [those] slain in terror their (from strength their *LA(bh)*) being ashamed and they lay uncircumcised with [those] slain of a sword and they have borne disgrace their with [those who] go down of [the] pit.

31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

Them he will see Pharaoh and he will be comforted on all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [those] slain of a sword Pharaoh and all army his [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”

That I had put (terror my *Q(K)*) in [the] land of [the] living and he will be laid in among uncircumcised [men] with [those] slain of a sword Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
