Hiezechielis Prophetæ 32
1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “the LORD’s word 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, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, “You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.”
3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea.
The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring 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 leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.
I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te.
I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum, et nigrescere faciam stellas eius: solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum.
When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
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 make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord GOD.
9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum cum induxero contritionem tuam in Gentibus super terras, quas nescis.
“I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction amongst the nations, into the countries which 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.
Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi,
For the Lord GOD says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.
12 in gladiis fortium deiiciam multitudinem tuam: inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ: et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti, et dissipabitur multitudo eius.
I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty. They are all the ruthless of the nations. They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing, and all its multitude will be destroyed.
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 destroy also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them.
14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus:
Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says 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 make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell therein, then they will know 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 lamentation with which they will lament. The daughters of the nations will lament with this. They will lament with it over Egypt, and over all her multitude,” says the Lord GOD.’”
17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, the LORD’s word 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, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19 Quo pulchrior es? Descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.
Whom do you pass 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 will fall amongst those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.
21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni, qui cum auxiliatoribus eius descenderunt, et dormierunt incircumcisi, interfecti gladio. (Sheol h7585)
The strong amongst the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu illius sepulchra eius: omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.
“Asshur is there with all her company. Her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen 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.
whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused 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 slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go 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 made Elam a bed amongst the slain with all her multitude. Her graves are around her, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put amongst those who are slain.
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 their multitude. Their graves are around them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused 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)
They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads. Their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris, et dormies cum interfectis gladio.
“But you will be broken amongst the uncircumcised, and will lie with those who are slain 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.
“There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword. They will lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go 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 the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain. They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might. They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go 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:
“Pharaoh will see them and will be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,” says 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 have put his terror in the land of the living. He will be laid amongst the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude,” says the Lord GOD.
