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, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to 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 all Egypt.
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 say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
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.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick to thy scales.
5 Et projiciam 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 cast thee forth into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers. Thou shall fall upon the open field. Thou shall not be brought together, nor gathered. I have given thee for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
6 Et scient omnes habitatores Ægypti quia ego Dominus, pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus domui Israël:
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah, because they have been 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.
When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou broke, and tore all their shoulders. And when they leaned upon thee, thou broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand still.
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam super te gladium, et interficiam de te hominem et jumentum.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from 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 be a desolation and a waste. And they shall know that I am Jehovah. Because he has said, The river is mine, and I have 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, I am against thee, and against thy rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis, neque pes jumenti gradietur in ea, et non habitabitur quadraginta annis.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it. Neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 Daboque terram Ægypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum, et civitates ejus in medio urbium subversarum, et erunt desolatæ quadraginta annis: et dispergam Ægyptios in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras.
And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate. And her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Ægyptum de populis in quibus dispersi fuerant.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered,
14 Et reducam captivitatem Ægypti, et collocabo eos in terra Phathures, in terra nativitatis suæ, et erunt ibi in regnum humile.
and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth. And they shall be a base kingdom there.
15 Inter cetera regna erit humillima, et non elevabitur ultra super nationes, et imminuam eos ne imperent gentibus.
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms, nor shall it lift itself up any more above the nations. And I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 Neque erunt ultra domui Israël in confidentia, docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant, et sequantur eos: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them. And they shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
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, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to 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 ejus, de Tyro, pro servitute qua servivit mihi adversus eam.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn, yet he had no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
19 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in terra Ægypti: et accipiet multitudinem ejus, et deprædabitur manubias ejus, et diripiet spolia ejus: et erit merces exercitui illius,
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey. And it shall be the wages for his army.
20 et operi quo servivit adversus eam: dedi ei terram Ægypti pro eo quod laboraverit mihi, ait Dominus Deus.
I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the lord Jehovah.
21 In die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israël, et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum, et scient quia ego Dominus.
In that day I will cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
