Hiezechielis Prophetæ 32
1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum: Leoni Gentium assimilatus es, et draconi, qui est in mari: et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis, et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis, et conculcabas flumina earum.
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Pharaoh king of Egypt and tell him: You think you're like a lion among the nations but in reality you're like a sea monster. You roll around in your rivers, stirring up the waters with your feet, making the water muddy.
3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea.
This is what the Lord God says: In the presence of many nations I'm going to spread my net over you, and they will pull you up in my net.
4 Et proiiciam te in terram, super faciem agri abiiciam te: et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia cæli, et saturabo de te bestias universæ terræ.
I will drop you on the land; I will throw you down on the bare earth. I will make all the birds of prey come and land you; I will have all the wild animals eat you until they're satisfied.
5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.
I will dump your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te.
I will fill the land with your flowing blood, pouring it out on the mountains, filling the valleys.
7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum, et nigrescere faciam stellas eius: solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum.
When I put out the light of your life, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will use a cloud to cover the sun, and the moon will stop shining.
8 Omnia luminaria cæli mœrere faciam super te: et dabo tenebras super terram tuam, dicit Dominus Deus, cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terræ, ait Dominus Deus.
I will darken all the bright lights in the heavens above you, and I will make your land go dark, declares the Lord God.
9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum cum induxero contritionem tuam in Gentibus super terras, quas nescis.
When I destroy you I will make many people frightened, even in countries you don't know anything about.
10 Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos: et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te, cum volare cœperit gladius meus super facies eorum: et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinæ tuæ.
Many will be shocked at what I do to you, and their kings will be horrified at what has happened to you, trembling when I wave my sword in front of them. On the day that you fall all of them will shake in fear for their lives.
11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi,
For this is what the Lord God says: The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you!
12 in gladiis fortium deiiciam multitudinem tuam: inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ: et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti, et dissipabitur multitudo eius.
I will allow your army to be defeated, your soldiers killed by the swords of the powerful enemy army from the cruelest of all nations. They will ruin of the glories of Egypt and destroy all your people.
13 Et perdam omnia iumenta eius, quæ erant super aquas plurimas: et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra, neque ungula iumentorum turbabit eas.
I will slaughter all your livestock living beside the wide rivers. Nobody will be there to stir rivers up with their feet; no livestock hooves will make them muddy.
14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus:
I will allow their waters to settle and I will make her rivers flow smoothly like oil, declares the Lord God.
15 Cum dedero Terram Ægypti desolatam: deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua, quando percussero omnes habitatores eius: et scient quia ego Dominus.
When I turn Egypt into a wasteland, completely emptying it out, when I kill everyone who lives there, then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
16 Planctus est, et plangent eum: filiæ Gentium plangent eum: super Ægyptum, et super multitudinem eius plangent eum, ait Dominus Deus.
This is the funeral song that foreign women will sing. They will sing it in mourning over Egypt and all its many people, declares the Lord God.”
17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Fili hominis cane lugubre super multitudinem Ægypti: et detrahe eam ipsam, et filias gentium robustarum ad terram ultimam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.
“Son of man, weep for all the many Egyptians. Send them along with the people of powerful nations down into the depths of the earth with those who go down into the grave.
19 Quo pulchrior es? Descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.
Do you think you're more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and take your place in the grave with the heathen!
20 In medio interfectorum gladio cadent: gladius datus est, attraxerunt eam, et omnes populos eius.
They will lie among those killed by the sword. A sword is ready to kill all the many people of Egypt.
21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni, qui cum auxiliatoribus eius descenderunt, et dormierunt incircumcisi, interfecti gladio. (Sheol h7585)
Powerful chiefs will speak from Sheol about Egypt and its allies: ‘They have come down here and lie with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu illius sepulchra eius: omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.
Assyria is there with all its people—it's surrounded by graves. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword.
23 Quorum data sunt sepulchra in novissimis laci: et facta est multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri eius: universi interfecti, cadentesque gladio, qui dederant quondam formidinem in terra viventium.
Its graves are set in the deepest parts of the place of the dead, and the graves of all its people surround Assyria's grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword, these people who once terrorized others when they were alive.
24 Ibi Ælam, et omnis multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri sui, omnes hi interfecti, ruentesque gladio: qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam: qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.
Elam is there with all its people around its grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword. They went down into the grave, these heathen people who once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave.
25 In medio interfectorum posuerunt cubile eius in universis populis eius: in circuitu eius sepulchrum illius: omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique gladio. Dederunt enim terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum: in medio interfectorum positi sunt.
A resting place is made ready among those who have been killed for Elam and all its many people—their graves surround Elam's grave. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave. They are laid to rest among those who have been killed.
26 Ibi Mosoch, et Thubal, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu eius sepulchra illius, omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique et cadentes gladio: quia dederunt formidinem suam in terra viventium.
Meshech and Tubal are there with all their many people, surrounded by all their graves. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive.
27 Et non dormient cum fortibus, cadentibusque et incircumcisis, qui descenderunt ad infernum cum armis suis, et posuerunt gladios suos sub capitibus suis, et fuerunt iniquitates eorum in ossibus eorum: quia terror fortium facti sunt in terra viventium. (Sheol h7585)
But they're not laid to rest with the fallen warriors of long ago who went down into Sheol with their weapons of war. Their swords were placed underneath their heads and their shields over their bones, although these powerful warriors once terrorized others when they were alive. (Sheol h7585)
28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris, et dormies cum interfectis gladio.
However, you will also be cut down and laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.
29 Ibi Idumæa, et reges eius, et omnes duces eius, qui dati sunt cum exercitu suo cum interfectis gladio: et qui cum incircumcisis dormierunt, et cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.
Edom is there with all its kings and princes. Once they were powerful, but now they too are laid to rest with those killed by the sword. They lie with the heathen, with those who go down into the grave.
30 Ibi principes Aquilonis omnes, et universi venatores: qui deducti sunt cum interfectis, paventes, et in sua fortitudine confusi: qui dormierunt incircumcisi cum interfectis gladio, et portaverunt confusionem suam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.
All the leaders from the north, and all the people of Sidon are there too. They also are disgraced, going down with those who were killed, in spite of their formidable power. They are heathen, lying there with those killed by the sword, and have the disgrace of those who go down into the grave.
31 Vidit eos Pharao, et consolatus est super universa multitudine sua, quæ interfecta est gladio, Pharao, et omnis exercitus eius, ait Dominus Deus:
Pharaoh will see them and be pleased that he and all his many people are not the only ones killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
32 quia dedi terrorem meum in terra viventium, et dormivit in medio incircumcisorum cum interfectis gladio: Pharao et omnis multitudo eius: ait Dominus Deus.
For I will terrorize those who are alive so that Pharaoh and all his many people will be laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.”
