Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis propheta, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ululate, væ, væ diei:
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!
3 quia iuxta est dies, et appropinquat dies Domini: dies nubis, tempus Gentium erit.
For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.
4 Et veniet gladius in Ægyptum: et erit pavor in Æthiopia, cum ceciderint vulnerati in Ægypto, et ablata fuerit multitudo illius, et destructa fundamenta eius.
And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.
5 Æthiopia, et Libya, et Lydi, et omne reliquum vulgus, et Chub, et filii terræ fœderis, cum eis gladio cadent.
Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.
6 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et corruent fulcientes Ægyptum, et destruetur superbia imperii eius: a turre Syenes gladio cadent in ea, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.
7 Et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum, et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt.
And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:
8 Et scient quia ego Dominus: cum dedero ignem in Ægypto, et attriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius.
and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.
9 In die illa egredientur nuncii a facie mea in trieribus ad conterendam Æthiopiæ confidentiam, et erit pavor in eis in die Ægypti, quia absque dubio veniet.
In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.
10 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: cessare faciam multitudinem Ægypti in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.
Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,
11 Ipse et populus eius cum eo fortissimi Gentium adducentur ad disperdendam terram: et evaginabunt gladios suos super Ægyptum: et implebunt terram interfectis.
his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.
12 Et faciam alveos fluminum aridos, et tradam terram in manus pessimorum: et dissipabo terram, et plenitudinem eius manu alienorum, ego Dominus locutus sum.
And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et disperdam simulachra, et cessare faciam idola de Memphis: et dux de Terra Ægypti non erit amplius: et dabo terrorem in Terra Ægypti.
For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.
14 Et disperdam terram Phathures, et dabo ignem in Taphnis, et faciam iudicia in Alexandria.
And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.
15 Et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium robur Ægypti, et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriæ,
And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.
16 et dabo ignem in Ægypto: quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium, et Alexandria erit dissipata, et in Memphis angustiæ quotidianæ.
And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.
17 Iuvenes Heliopoleos, et Bubasti gladio cadent, et ipsæ captivæ ducentur.
The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.
18 Et in Taphnis nigrescet dies, cum contrivero ibi sceptra Ægypti, et defecerit in ea superbia potentiæ eius: ipsam nubes operiet, filiæ autem eius in captivitatem ducentur.
And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.
19 Et iudicia faciam in Ægypto: et scient quia ego Dominus.
And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
20 Et factum est in undecimo anno, in primo mense, in septima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Fili hominis brachium Pharaonis regis Ægypti confregi: et ecce non est obvolutum ut restitueretur ei sanitas, ut ligaretur pannis, et fasciaretur linteolis, ut recepto robore posset tenere gladium.
Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.
22 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et comminuam brachium eius forte, sed confractum: et deiiciam gladium de manu eius:
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.
23 et dispergam Ægyptum in gentibus, et ventilabo eos in terris.
And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.
24 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, daboque gladium meum in manu eius: et confringam brachia Pharaonis, et gement gemitibus interfecti coram facie eius.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.
25 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, et brachia Pharaonis concident: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero gladium meum in manu regis Babylonis, et extenderit eum super Terram Ægypti.
Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.
26 Et dispergam Ægyptum in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras, et scient quia ego Dominus.
And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
