Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

2 Fili hominis propheta, et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ululate, vae, vae diei:

Son of man, be a prophet, and say, These are the words of the Lord: Give a cry, Aha, for the day!

3 quia iuxta est dies, et appropinquat dies Domini: dies nubis, tempus Gentium erit.

For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it will be the time of the nations.

4 Et veniet gladius in Aegyptum: et erit pavor in Aethiopia, cum ceciderint vulnerati in Aegypto, et ablata fuerit multitudo illius, et destructa fundamenta eius.

And a sword will come on Egypt, and cruel pain will be in Ethiopia, when they are falling by the sword in Egypt; and they will take away her wealth and her bases will be broken down.

5 Aethiopia, et Libya, et Lydi, et omne reliquum vulgus, et Chub, et filii terrae foederis, cum eis gladio cadent.

Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.

6 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et corruent fulcientes Aegyptum, et destruetur superbia imperii eius: a turre Syenes gladio cadent in ea, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.

This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.

7 et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum, et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt.

And she will be made waste among the countries which have been made waste, and her towns will be among the towns which are unpeopled.

8 Et scient quia ego Dominus: cum dedero ignem in Aegypto, et attriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius.

And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have put a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken.

9 In die illa egredientur nuncii a facie mea in trieribus ad conterendam Aethiopiae confidentiam, et erit pavor in eis in die Aegypti, quia absque dubio veniet.

In that day men will go out quickly to take the news, causing fear in untroubled Ethiopia; and bitter pain will come on them as in the day of Egypt; for see, it is coming.

10 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: cessare faciam multitudinem Aegypti in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.

This is what the Lord has said: I will put an end to great numbers of the people of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

11 Ipse et populus eius cum eo fortissimi Gentium adducentur ad disperdendam terram: et evaginabunt gladios suos super Aegyptum: et implebunt terram interfectis.

He and the people with him, causing fear among the nations, will be sent for the destruction of the land; their swords will be let loose against Egypt and the land will be full of dead.

12 Et faciam alveos fluminum aridos, et tradam terram in manus pessimorum: et dissipabo terram, et plenitudinem eius manu alienorum, ego Dominus locutus sum.

And I will make the Nile streams dry, and will give the land into the hands of evil men, causing the land and everything in it to be wasted by the hands of men from a strange country: I the Lord have said it.

13 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et disperdam simulachra, et cessare faciam idola de Memphis: et dux de Terra Aegypti non erit amplius: et dabo terrorem in Terra Aegypti.

This is what the Lord has said: In addition to this, I will give up the images to destruction and put an end to the false gods in Noph; never again will there be a ruler in the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

14 Et disperdam terram Phathures, et dabo ignem in Taphnis, et faciam iudicia in Alexandria.

And I will make Pathros a waste, and put a fire in Zoan, and send my punishments on No.

15 Et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium robur Aegypti, et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriae,

I will let loose my wrath on Sin, the strong place of Egypt, cutting off the mass of the people of No.

16 et dabo ignem in Aegypto: quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium, et Alexandria erit dissipata, et in Memphis angustiae quotidianae.

And I will put a fire in Egypt; Syene will be twisting in pain, and No will be broken into, as by the onrush of waters.

17 Iuvenes Heliopoleos, et Bubasti gladio cadent, et ipsae captivae ducentur.

The young men of On and Pi-beseth will be put to the sword: and these towns will be taken away prisoners.

18 Et in Taphnis nigrescet dies, cum contrivero ibi sceptra Aegypti, et defecerit in ea superbia potentiae eius: ipsam nubes operiet, filiae autem eius in captivitatem ducentur.

And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.

19 Et iudicia faciam in Aegypto: et scient quia ego Dominus.

And I will send my punishments on Egypt: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

20 Et factum est in undecimo anno, in primo mense, in septima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

Now in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 Fili hominis brachium Pharaonis regis Aegypti confregi: et ecce non est obvolutum ut restitueretur ei sanitas, ut ligaretur pannis, et fasciaretur linteolis, ut recepto robore posset tenere gladium.

Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

22 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad Pharaonem regem Aegypti, et comminuam brachium eius forte, sed confractum: et deiiciam gladium de manu eius:

For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.

23 et dispergam Aegyptum in Gentibus, et ventilabo eos in terris.

And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

24 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, daboque gladium meum in manu eius: et confringam brachia Pharaonis, et gement gemitibus interfecti coram facie eius.

And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and will put my sword in his hand: but Pharaoh's arms will be broken, and he will give cries of pain before him like the cries of a man wounded to death.

25 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, et brachia Pharaonis concident: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero gladium meum in manu regis Babylonis, et extenderit eum super Terram Aegypti.

And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and the arms of Pharaoh will be hanging down; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and it is stretched out against the land of Egypt.

26 Et dispergam Aegyptum in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras, et scient quia ego Dominus.

And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
