Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30

1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

The word of Yhwh came again unto me, saying,

2 fili hominis propheta et dic haec dicit Dominus Deus ululate vae vae diei

Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!

3 quia iuxta est dies et adpropinquavit dies Domini dies nubis tempus gentium erit

For the day is near, even the day of Yhwh is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

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 the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

5 Aethiopia et Lybia et Lydii et omne reliquum vulgus et Chub et filii terrae foederis cum eis gladio cadent

Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall 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 exercituum

Thus saith Yhwh; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord Yhwh.

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

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

8 et scient quoniam ego Dominus cum dedero ignem in Aegyptum et adtriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius

And they shall know that I am Yhwh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

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

In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

10 haec dicit Dominus Deus et cessare faciam multitudinem Aegypti in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis

Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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 his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

12 et faciam alveos fluminum aridos et tradam terram in manu pessimorum et dissipabo terram et plenitudinem eius in manu alienorum ego Dominus locutus sum

And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I Yhwh have spoken it.

13 haec dicit Dominus Deus et disperdam simulacra et cessare faciam idola de Memphis et dux de terra Aegypti non erit amplius et dabo terrorem in terra Aegypti

Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

14 et disperdam terram Fatures et dabo ignem in Tafnis et faciam iudicia in Alexandriam

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

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

And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

16 et dabo ignem in Aegypto quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium et Alexandria erit dissipata et in Memphis angustiae cotidianae

And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.

17 iuvenes Eliupoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent et ipsae captivae ducentur

The young men of Aven and of Pi–beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.

18 et in Tafnis nigrescet dies cum contrivero ibi sceptra Aegypti et defecerit in ea superbia potentiae eius ipsam nubes operiet filiae autem eius in captivitatem ducentur

At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

19 et faciam iudicia in Aegypto et scient quia ego Dominus

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am Yhwh.

20 et factum est in undecimo anno in primo in septima mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,

21 fili hominis brachium Pharao regis Aegypti confregi et ecce non est obvolutum ut restitueretur ei sanitas ut ligaretur pannis et farciretur linteolis et recepto robore posset tenere gladium

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

22 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad Pharao regem Aegypti et comminuam brachium eius forte sed confractum et deiciam gladium de manu eius

Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 et dispergam Aegyptum in gentibus et ventilabo eos in terris

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them 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 strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

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

But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yhwh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

26 et dispergam Aegyptum in nationes et ventilabo eos in terris et scient quia ego Dominus

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am Yhwh.
