Hiezechielis Prophetæ 32

1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been 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, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and you have said to him: You have been like a young lion of nations, And you [are] as a dragon in the seas, And you come forth with your flowings, And trouble the waters with your feet, And you foul their flowings.

3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea.

Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have spread out My net for you, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have brought 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.

And I have left you in the land, I cast you out on the face of the field, And I have caused every bird of the heavens to dwell on you, And have satisfied every beast of the earth with you.

5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.

And I have put your flesh on the mountains, And filled the valleys [with] your heap,

6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te.

And watered the land with your flowing, From your blood—to the mountains, And streams are filled with you.

7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum, et nigrescere faciam stellas eius: solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum.

And in quenching you I have covered the heavens, And have made their stars black, I cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon does not cause its light to shine.

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 make all luminaries of light in the heavens black over you, And I have given darkness over your land, A declaration of Lord YHWH,

9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum cum induxero contritionem tuam in Gentibus super terras, quas nescis.

And I have distressed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in your destruction among nations, To lands that you have not known.

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.

And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid because of you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life—in the day of your fall.

11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi,

For thus said Lord YHWH: A sword of the king of Babylon enters you,

12 in gladiis fortium deiiciam multitudinem tuam: inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ: et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti, et dissipabitur multitudo eius.

I cause your multitude to fall by swords of the mighty, The terrible of nations—all of them, And they have spoiled the excellence of Egypt, And all her multitude has been destroyed.

13 Et perdam omnia iumenta eius, quæ erant super aquas plurimas: et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra, neque ungula iumentorum turbabit eas.

And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many waters, And a foot of man does not trouble them anymore, Indeed, the hooves of beasts do not trouble them.

14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus:

Then I cause their waters to sink, And I cause their rivers to go as oil, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

15 Cum dedero Terram Ægypti desolatam: deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua, quando percussero omnes habitatores eius: et scient quia ego Dominus.

In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And the land has been desolated of its fullness, In My striking all the inhabitants in it, Then they have known that I [am] YHWH.

16 Planctus est, et plangent eum: filiæ Gentium plangent eum: super Ægyptum, et super multitudinem eius plangent eum, ait Dominus Deus.

It [is] a lamentation, and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, a word of YHWH has been 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, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It, and the daughters of majestic nations, To the lower parts of the earth, With those going down to the pit.

19 Quo pulchrior es? Descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.

Whom have you surpassed in beauty? Go down, and be laid with [the] uncircumcised.

20 In medio interfectorum gladio cadent: gladius datus est, attraxerunt eam, et omnes populos eius.

They fall in the midst of the pierced of the sword, She has been given [to] the sword, They drew her out, and all her multitude.

21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni, qui cum auxiliatoribus eius descenderunt, et dormierunt incircumcisi, interfecti gladio. (Sheol h7585)

The gods of the mighty speak to him out of the midst of Sheol, With his helpers—they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu illius sepulchra eius: omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.

There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, His graves [are] around him, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by 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.

Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is around her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living.

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.

There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Around her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

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.

They have appointed a bed for her in the midst of the wounded, With all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, He has been set in the midst of the pierced.

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.

There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living,

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)

And they do not lie with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris, et dormies cum interfectis gladio.

And you are broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, And lie with the pierced of 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.

There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They lie with the uncircumcised, And with those going down to the pit.

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.

There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, They are ashamed of their might, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

31 Vidit eos Pharao, et consolatus est super universa multitudine sua, quæ interfecta est gladio, Pharao, et omnis exercitus eius, ait Dominus Deus:

Then Pharaoh sees, And he has been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword—Pharaoh and all his force, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

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 have given his terror in the land of the living, And he has been laid down in [the] midst of [the] uncircumcised, With [the] pierced of [the] sword—Pharaoh, and all his multitude, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
