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 day of the month, the LORD’s word came 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 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 memet ipsum
Speak and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle 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 adglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adherebunt
I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales. I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick 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
I’ll cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
6 et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus pro eo quod fuisti baculus harundineus domui Israhel
“‘“All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been 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
When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and paralyzed all of their thighs.”
8 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adducam super te gladium et interficiam de te hominem et iumentum
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal 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
The land of Egypt will be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “‘“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 Aegypti in solitudines gladio dissipatam a turre Syenes usque ad terminos Aethiopiae
therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. 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 iumenti gradietur in ea et non habitabitur quadraginta annis
No foot of man will pass through it, nor will any animal foot pass through it. It won’t be inhabited for 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
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities among the cities that are laid waste will be a desolation forty years. 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 fuerunt
“‘For the Lord GOD says: “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered.
14 et reducam captivitatem Aegypti et conlocabo eos in terra Fatures in terra nativitatis suae et erunt ibi in regnum humile
I will reverse the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 inter regna cetera erit humillima et non elevabitur ultra super nationes et inminuam eos ne imperent gentibus
It will be the lowest of the kingdoms. It won’t lift itself up above the nations any more. I will diminish them so that they will no longer rule over the nations.
16 neque erunt ultra domui Israhel in confidentia docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant et sequantur eos et scient quia ego Dominus Deus
It will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”’”
17 et factum est in vicesimo et septimo anno in primo in una mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
It came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came 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 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 did 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her multitude, take her plunder, and take her prey. That will be the wages for his army.
20 et operi pro quo servivit adversum eam dedi ei terram Aegypti pro eo quod laboraverunt mihi ait Dominus Deus
I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he served, because they worked for me,’ says the Lord GOD.
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 will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
