יְחֶזְקֵאל 30
| וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
| בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הִנָּבֵא֙ וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה הֵילִ֖ילוּ הָ֥הּ לַיֹּֽום׃ | 2 |
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
| כִּֽי־קָרֹ֣וב יֹ֔ום וְקָרֹ֥וב יֹ֖ום לַֽיהוָ֑ה יֹ֣ום עָנָ֔ן עֵ֥ת גֹּויִ֖ם יִֽהְיֶֽה׃ | 3 |
For the day is near, even the LORD’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
| וּבָאָ֥ה חֶ֙רֶב֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְהָיְתָ֤ה חַלְחָלָה֙ בְּכ֔וּשׁ בִּנְפֹ֥ל חָלָ֖ל בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְלָקְח֣וּ הֲמֹונָ֔הּ וְנֶהֶרְס֖וּ יְסֹודֹתֶֽיהָ׃ | 4 |
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.
| כּ֣וּשׁ וּפ֤וּט וְלוּד֙ וְכָל־הָעֶ֣רֶב וְכ֔וּב וּבְנֵ֖י אֶ֣רֶץ הַבְּרִ֑ית אִתָּ֖ם בַּחֶ֥רֶב יִפֹּֽלוּ׃ פ | 5 |
“‘“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.”
| כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה וְנָֽפְלוּ֙ סֹמְכֵ֣י מִצְרַ֔יִם וְיָרַ֖ד גְּאֹ֣ון עֻזָּ֑הּ מִמִּגְדֹּ֣ל סְוֵנֵ֗ה בַּחֶ֙רֶב֙ יִפְּלוּ־בָ֔הּ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃ | 6 |
“‘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.
| וְנָשַׁ֕מּוּ בְּתֹ֖וךְ אֲרָצֹ֣ות נְשַׁמֹּ֑ות וְעָרָ֕יו בְּתֹוךְ־עָרִ֥ים נַחֲרָבֹ֖ות תִּֽהְיֶֽינָה׃ | 7 |
“They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities will be amongst the cities that are wasted.
| וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּתִתִּי־אֵ֣שׁ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁבְּר֖וּ כָּל־עֹזְרֶֽיהָ׃ | 8 |
They will know that I am the LORD when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
| בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא יֵצְא֨וּ מַלְאָכִ֤ים מִלְּפָנַי֙ בַּצִּ֔ים לְהַחֲרִ֖יד אֶת־כּ֣וּשׁ בֶּ֑טַח וְהָיְתָ֨ה חַלְחָלָ֤ה בָהֶם֙ בְּיֹ֣ום מִצְרַ֔יִם כִּ֥י הִנֵּ֖ה בָּאָֽה׃ ס | 9 |
“‘“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.”
| כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ אֶת־הֲמֹ֣ון מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּיַ֖ד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֥ר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶֽל׃ | 10 |
“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
| ה֠וּא וְעַמֹּ֤ו אִתֹּו֙ עָרִיצֵ֣י גֹויִ֔ם מֽוּבָאִ֖ים לְשַׁחֵ֣ת הָאָ֑רֶץ וְהֵרִ֤יקוּ חַרְבֹותָם֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם וּמָלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ חָלָֽל׃ | 11 |
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.
| וְנָתַתִּ֤י יְאֹרִים֙ חָֽרָבָ֔ה וּמָכַרְתִּ֥י אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּיַד־רָעִ֑ים וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִ֞י אֶ֤רֶץ וּמְלֹאָהּ֙ בְּיַד־זָרִ֔ים אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבַּֽרְתִּי׃ ס | 12 |
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.”
| כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּ֨י גִלּוּלִ֜ים וְהִשְׁבַּתִּ֤י אֱלִילִים֙ מִנֹּ֔ף וְנָשִׂ֥יא מֵאֶֽרֶץ־מִצְרַ֖יִם לֹ֣א יִֽהְיֶה־עֹ֑וד וְנָתַתִּ֥י יִרְאָ֖ה בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ | 13 |
“‘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.
| וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי֙ אֶת־פַּתְרֹ֔וס וְנָתַ֥תִּי אֵ֖שׁ בְּצֹ֑עַן וְעָשִׂ֥יתִי שְׁפָטִ֖ים בְּנֹֽא׃ | 14 |
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgements on No.
| וְשָׁפַכְתִּ֣י חֲמָתִ֔י עַל־סִ֖ין מָעֹ֣וז מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהִכְרַתִּ֖י אֶת־הֲמֹ֥ון נֹֽא׃ | 15 |
I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt. I will cut off the multitude of No.
| וְנָתַ֤תִּי אֵשׁ֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם ח֤וּל תָּחִיל (תָּחוּל֙) סִ֔ין וְנֹ֖א תִּהְיֶ֣ה לְהִבָּקֵ֑עַ וְנֹ֖ף צָרֵ֥י יֹומָֽם׃ | 16 |
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.
| בַּח֥וּרֵי אָ֛וֶן וּפִי־בֶ֖סֶת בַּחֶ֣רֶב יִפֹּ֑לוּ וְהֵ֖נָּה בַּשְּׁבִ֥י תֵלַֽכְנָה׃ | 17 |
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword. They will go into captivity.
| וּבִֽתְחַפְנְחֵס֙ חָשַׂ֣ךְ הַיֹּ֔ום בְּשִׁבְרִי־שָׁם֙ אֶת־מֹטֹ֣ות מִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁבַּת־בָּ֖הּ גְּאֹ֣ון עֻזָּ֑הּ הִ֚יא עָנָ֣ן יְכַסֶּ֔נָּה וּבְנֹותֶ֖יהָ בַּשְּׁבִ֥י תֵלַֽכְנָה׃ | 18 |
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.
| וְעָשִׂ֥יתִי שְׁפָטִ֖ים בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ פ | 19 |
Thus I will execute judgements on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’”
| וַיְהִ֗י בְּאַחַ֤ת עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה בָּֽרִאשֹׁ֖ון בְּשִׁבְעָ֣ה לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 20 |
In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם אֶת־זְרֹ֛ועַ פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם שָׁבָ֑רְתִּי וְהִנֵּ֣ה לֹֽא־חֻ֠בְּשָׁה לָתֵ֨ת רְפֻאֹ֜ות לָשׂ֥וּם חִתּ֛וּל לְחָבְשָׁ֥הּ לְחָזְקָ֖הּ לִתְפֹּ֥שׂ בֶּחָֽרֶב׃ ס | 21 |
“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.
| לָכֵ֞ן כֹּה־אָמַ֣ר ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה הִנְנִי֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֔יִם וְשָֽׁבַרְתִּי֙ אֶת־זְרֹ֣עֹתָ֔יו אֶת־הַחֲזָקָ֖ה וְאֶת־הַנִּשְׁבָּ֑רֶת וְהִפַּלְתִּ֥י אֶת־הַחֶ֖רֶב מִיָּדֹֽו׃ | 22 |
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.
| וַהֲפִצֹותִ֥י אֶת־מִצְרַ֖יִם בַּגֹּויִ֑ם וְזֵרִיתִ֖ם בָּאֲרָצֹֽות׃ | 23 |
I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
| וְחִזַּקְתִּ֗י אֶת־זְרֹעֹות֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־חַרְבִּ֖י בְּיָדֹ֑ו וְשָׁבַרְתִּי֙ אֶת־זְרֹעֹ֣ות פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְנָאַ֛ק נַאֲקֹ֥ות חָלָ֖ל לְפָנָֽיו׃ | 24 |
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.
| וְהַחֲזַקְתִּ֗י אֶת־זְרֹעֹות֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וּזְרֹעֹ֥ות פַּרְעֹ֖ה תִּפֹּ֑לְנָה וְֽיָדְע֞וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֗ה בְּתִתִּ֤י חַרְבִּי֙ בְּיַ֣ד מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֔ל וְנָטָ֥ה אֹותָ֖הּ אֶל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ | 25 |
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.
| וַהֲפִצֹותִ֤י אֶת־מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ בַּגֹּויִ֔ם וְזֵרִיתִ֥י אֹותָ֖ם בָּאֲרָצֹ֑ות וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ ס | 26 |
I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
