Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30

1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

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

Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Wail ye, Woe unto the day!

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

For nigh is the day, yea nigh is the day of the Lord; a cloudy day; the time of the nations' [misfortune] shall it be.

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 into Egypt, and there shall be trembling in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt, and when they take away its multitude, and its 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 Put, and Lud, and all the confederates, and Cub, and all the men of the leagued land, 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 hath said the Lord, Yea, there shall fall those that uphold Egypt; and there shall come down the pride of her strength: from Migdol to Seveneh shall they fall in her by the sword, saith the Lord Eternal.

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

And they shall be made desolate in the midst of the desolate countries, and its cities shall be counted in the midst of the cities that have been laid in ruins.

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

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I set fire to Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be broken.

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

On that day shall messengers go forth from my presence in ships to terrify the secure Ethiopians, and there shall be trembling among them, as on the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.

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

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will also cause the multitude of Egypt to cease through the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the 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 fiercest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and they shall 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 render the streams dry, and sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that filleth it, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause false gods to cease out of Noph; and a prince out of the land of Egypt shall there not be any more: and I will lay fear on 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 set fire to Zo'an; and I will execute judgments in No.

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

And I will pour my fury over Sin, the stronghold 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 to Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be broken in, and [over] Noph shall the besiegers [prevail] by broad day.

17 iuvenes Eliupoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent et ipsae captivae ducentur

The young men of Aven and of Pi-besseth shall fall by the sword; and they themselves 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

And at Thechaphneches the day shall be darkened, when I break there the yoke-bars of Egypt, and the pride of her strength ceaseth therein: 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 on Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

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, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord 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, the arm of Pharaoh the king of Egypt have I broken; and lo, it shall not be bound up to apply remedies, to put on a bandage to bind it up, to make it strong that it may grasp 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong, and that which was already 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 I 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 will put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan, with the groanings of a deadly wounded man before him.

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

Yea I will make strong the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I place my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may stretch it out over 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 the Lord.
