Hiezechielis Prophetæ 29
1 in anno decimo in decimo mense undecima mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti et prophetabis de eo et de Aegypto universa
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt—all of it.
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 memet ipsum
Speak, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who has said, My flood [is] my own, And I have made it [for] myself.
4 et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis et adglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adherebunt
And I have put hooks in your jaws, And I have caused the fish of your floods to cleave to your scales, And I have caused you to come up from the midst of your floods, And every fish of your floods cleaves to your scales.
5 et proiciam 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 have left you in the wilderness, You and every fish of your floods, You fall on the face of the field, You are not gathered nor assembled, I have given you for food to the beast of the earth and to the bird of the heavens.
6 et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus pro eo quod fuisti baculus harundineus domui Israhel
And all inhabitants of Egypt have known That I [am] YHWH, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 quando adprehenderunt te manu et confractus es et lacerasti omnem umerum eorum et innitentibus eis super te comminutus es et dissolvisti omnes renes eorum
In their taking hold of you by your hand, You crush and have torn every shoulder of theirs, And in their leaning on you you are broken, And have caused all their thighs to stand.
8 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adducam super te gladium et interficiam de te hominem et iumentum
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in a sword against you, And have cut off man and beast from you.
9 et erit terra Aegypti in desertum et solitudinem et scient quia ego Dominus eo quod dixerit fluvius meus est et ego feci
And the land of Egypt has been for a desolation and a ruin, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I 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 you, and against your floods, And have given the land of Egypt for ruins, A dry place, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And to the border of Cush.
11 non pertransibit eam pes hominis neque pes iumenti gradietur in ea et non habitabitur quadraginta annis
A foot of man does not pass over into it, Indeed, the foot of beast does not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.
12 daboque terram Aegypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarum erunt desolatae quadraginta annis et dispergam Aegyptios in nationes et ventilabo eos in terras
And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste, Are a desolation [for] forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.
13 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Aegyptum de populis in quibus dispersi fuerunt
But thus said Lord YHWH: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples to where they have been scattered,
14 et reducam captivitatem Aegypti et conlocabo eos in terra Fatures in terra nativitatis suae et erunt ibi in regnum humile
And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been a low kingdom there.
15 inter regna cetera erit humillima et non elevabitur ultra super nationes et inminuam eos ne imperent gentibus
It is lowest of the kingdoms, And it does not lift itself up above the nations anymore, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.
16 neque erunt ultra domui Israhel in confidentia docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant et sequantur eos et scient quia ego Dominus Deus
And it is no longer for confidence to the house of Israel, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
17 et factum est in vicesimo et septimo anno in primo in una mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
And it comes to pass, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
18 fili hominis Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversum Tyrum omne caput decalvatum et omnis umerus depilatus est et merces non est reddita ei neque exercitui eius de Tyro pro servitute qua servivit mihi adversum eam
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Has caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald—every shoulder peeled, And neither he, nor his force, had reward out of Tyre, For the service that he 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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And he has taken away its store, And has taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it has been a reward to his force.
20 et operi pro quo servivit adversum eam dedi ei terram Aegypti pro eo quod laboraverunt mihi ait Dominus Deus
I have given to him his wage for which he labored—The land of Egypt, in that they worked for Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
21 in die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israhel et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum et scient quoniam ego Dominus
In that day I cause a horn to shoot up for the house of Israel, And I give an opening to your mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
