Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2 fili hominis propheta et dic haec dicit Dominus Deus ululate vae vae diei
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
3 quia iuxta est dies et adpropinquavit dies Domini dies nubis tempus gentium erit
For the day is near, even the LORD’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a 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
A sword will come on Egypt, and anguish will be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt. They take away her multitude, and her foundations are broken down.
5 Aethiopia et Lybia et Lydii et omne reliquum vulgus et Chub et filii terrae foederis cum eis gladio cadent
“‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will 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
“‘The LORD says: “They also who uphold Egypt will fall. The pride of her power will come down. They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh,” says the Lord GOD.
7 et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt
“They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities will be amongst the cities that are wasted.
8 et scient quoniam ego Dominus cum dedero ignem in Aegyptum et adtriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius
They will know that I am the LORD when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are 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 messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”
10 haec dicit Dominus Deus et cessare faciam multitudinem Aegypti in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis
“‘The Lord GOD says: “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, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will 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
I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of foreigners. 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
“‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt. 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
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgements on No.
15 et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium robur Aegypti et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriae
I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt. 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
I will set a fire in Egypt Sin will be in great anguish. No will be broken up. Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime.
17 iuvenes Eliupoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent et ipsae captivae ducentur
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword. They will 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 will withdraw itself, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. The pride of her power will cease in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
19 et faciam iudicia in Aegypto et scient quia ego Dominus
Thus I will execute judgements on Egypt. Then they will 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
In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the LORD’s word came to 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. Behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it may become 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken. I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23 et dispergam Aegyptum in gentibus et ventilabo eos in terris
I will scatter the Egyptians amongst 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
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before the king of Babylon with the groaning of a mortally 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
I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out on the land of Egypt.
26 et dispergam Aegyptum in nationes et ventilabo eos in terris et scient quia ego Dominus
I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
