Hiezechielis Prophetæ 29
1 In anno decimo, decimo mense, undecima die mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et prophetabis de eo, et de Ægypto universa:
Son of man, Set thy face against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And prophesy against him, and against Egypt all of it:
3 Loquere, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Pharao rex Ægypti, draco magne, qui cubas in medio fluminum tuorum, et dicis: Meus est fluvius, et ego feci memetipsum.
Speak, and thou shalt say— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh Behold me! against thee O Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great Crocodile that lieth along in the midst of his rivers: Who saith— My river is, mine own, Since I myself made it me!
4 Et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis: et agglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis: et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum, et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adhærebunt.
Therefore will I put hooks in thy jaws, And cause the fish of thy rivers to stick fast in thy scales, - And will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, And, all the fish of thy rivers, to thy scales, shall stick fast;
5 Et proiiciam te in desertum, et omnes pisces fluminis tui: super faciem terræ cades, non colligeris, neque congregaberis: bestiis terræ, et volatilibus cæli dedi te ad devorandum.
And I will stretch thee out towards the desert, Thee and all the fish of thy rivers, On the face of the field, shalt thou lie Thou shalt not be carried away nor shalt thou be gathered, To the wild beast of the earth and to the bird of the heavens, have I given thee for food.
6 Et scient omnes habitatores Ægypti quia ego Dominus: pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus domui Israel.
So shall all the inhabitants of Egypt know that I, am Yahweh, Because they were a staff of reed to the house of Israel:
7 Quando apprehenderunt te manu, et confractus es, et lacerasti omnem humerum eorum: et innitentibus eis super te, comminutus es, et dissolvisti omnes renes eorum.
Whensoever they took hold of thee by the hand, thou didst run through, and tear open for them every hand, —And whensoever they leaned upon thee, thou didst break, and caused all their loins to halt.
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam super te gladium: et interficiam de te hominem, et iumentum.
Therefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! bringing upon thee a sword, - And I will cut off out of thee, man and beast;
9 Et erit Terra Ægypti in desertum, et in solitudinem: et scient quia ego Dominus: pro eo quod dixeris: Fluvius meus est, et ego feci eum.
And the land of Egypt shall become an astonishment and a desolation, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, —Because he said— The river is mine own, Since, I, myself made it!
10 Idcirco ecce ego ad te, et ad flumina tua: daboque Terram Ægypti in solitudines, gladio dissipatam, a turre Syenes, usque ad terminos Æthiopiæ.
Therefore, behold me! against thee and against thy rivers, - And I will make the land of Egypt to be most desolate an astounding desolation, from Migdol to Syene even up to the boundary of Ethiopia:
11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis, neque pes iumenti gradietur in ea: et non habitabitur quadraginta annis.
The foot of man shall not pass through it, Nor shall the foot of beast, pass through it, Neither shall it be inhabited forty years:
12 Daboque Terram Ægypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum, et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarum, et erunt desolatæ quadraginta annis: et dispergam Ægyptios in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras.
So will I make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of lands made desolate And her cities—in the midst of cities that have been laid waste, shall become a desolation forty years, - And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, And scatter them throughout the lands.
13 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Ægyptum de populis, in quibus dispersi fuerant.
For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — At the end of forty years, will I gather the Egyptians from among the peoples whither I had dispersed them;
14 Et reducam captivitatem Ægypti, et collocabo eos in terra Phathures, in terra nativitatis suæ: et erunt ibi in regnum humile:
And I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, And will cause them to return To the land of Pathros Upon the land of their nativity, - And they shall become, there a kingdom abased:
15 inter cetera regna erit humillima, et non elevabitur ultra super nationes, et imminuam eos ne imperent Gentibus.
More than [any of] the kingdoms, shall she be abased, And shall lift herself up no more over the nations, —Yea I will make them too small to rule over the nations.
16 Neque erunt ultra domui Israel in confidentia, docentes iniquitatem, ut fugiant, et sequantur eos: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.
So shall it become no more unto the house of Israel a security. Calling to mind iniquity, by their turning to follow them, - And they shall know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh.
17 Et factum est in vigesimo et septimo anno, in primo, in una mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year in the first month on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
18 Fili hominis Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversum Tyrum: omne caput decalvatum, et omnis humerus depilatus est: et merces non est reddita ei, neque exercitui eius de Tyro pro servitute, qua servivit mihi adversus eam.
Son of man Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, hath made his army undergo a long service against Tyre, Every head, hath been made bald, and, Every shoulder, worn bare, — But pay, hath he had none nor hath his army, out of Tyre, for the service wherewith he hath served against it.
19 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Terra Ægypti: et accipiet multitudinem eius, et deprædabitur manubias eius, et diripiet spolia eius: et erit merces exercitui illius,
Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, the land of Egypt, — And he shall carry off her multitude And capture her spoil And seize her prey, So shall she become pay for his army.
20 et operi, quo servivit adversus eam: dedi ei Terram Ægypti, pro eo quod laboraverit mihi, ait Dominus Deus.
As a reward for his labour wherewith he hath served, have I given to him the land of Egypt, —in that they wrought for me, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
21 In die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israel, et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
In that day, will I cause to bud a horn for the house of Israel, And to thee, will I give an opening of mouth in their midst, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
