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 the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti, et prophetabis de eo, et de Aegypto universa:
'Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;
3 Loquere, et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Pharao rex Aegypti, draco magne, qui cubas in medio fluminum tuorum, et dicis: Meus est fluvius, et ego feci memetipsum.
speak, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, that hath said: My river is mine 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 adhaerebunt.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5 Et proiiciam te in desertum, et omnes pisces fluminis tui: super faciem terrae cades, non colligeris, neque congregaberis: bestiis terrae, et volatilibus caeli dedi te ad devorandum.
And I will cast thee into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven have I given thee for food.
6 Et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus: pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus domui Israel.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, 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 take hold of thee with the hand, thou dost break, and rend all their shoulders; and when they lean upon thee, thou breakest, and makest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam super te gladium: et interficiam de te hominem, et iumentum.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.
9 Et erit Terra Aegypti 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 desolate and waste, and they shall know that I am the LORD; because he hath said: The river is mine, and I have made it.
10 Idcirco ecce ego ad te, et ad flumina tua: daboque Terram Aegypti in solitudines, gladio dissipatam, a turre Syenes, usque ad terminos Aethiopiae.
Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis, neque pes iumenti 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 Aegypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum, et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarum, et erunt desolatae quadraginta annis: et dispergam Aegyptios in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras.
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Aegyptum de populis, in quibus dispersi fuerant.
For thus saith the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered;
14 Et reducam captivitatem Aegypti, et collocabo eos in terra Phathures, in terra nativitatis suae: et erunt ibi in regnum humile:
and I will turn the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a lowly kingdom.
15 inter cetera regna erit humillima, et non elevabitur ultra super nationes, et imminuam eos ne imperent Gentibus.
It shall be the lowliest of the kingdoms, neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations; and I will diminish them, that they shall no more 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.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.'
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 seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD 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 caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it;
19 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Terra Aegypti: et accipiet multitudinem eius, et depraedabitur manubias eius, et diripiet spolia eius: et erit merces exercitui illius,
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her abundance, 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 Aegypti, pro eo quod laboraverit mihi, ait Dominus Deus.
I have given him the land of Egypt as his hire for which he served, because they wrought for Me, saith the Lord GOD.
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 a horn to shoot up unto 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 the LORD.'
