1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! 3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 4 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 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 Thus saith the LORD; 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 GOD. 7 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 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 9 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 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 11 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 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 the LORD have spoken it . 13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. 15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 16 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 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. 18 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 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
20 ¶ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month , in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 21 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 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 24 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 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 the LORD, 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 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
2 fili hominis propheta et dic haec dicit Dominus Deus
ululate vae vae diei
3 quia iuxta est dies
et adpropinquavit dies Domini
dies nubis tempus gentium erit
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
5 Aethiopia et Lybia et Lydii et omne reliquum vulgus
et Chub et filii terrae foederis cum eis gladio cadent
6 haec dicit Dominus Deus
et corruent fulcientes Aegyptum et destruetur superbia imperii eius
a turre Syenes gladio cadent in ea
ait Dominus exercituum
7 et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum
et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt
8 et scient quoniam ego Dominus
cum dedero ignem in Aegyptum
et adtriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius
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
10 haec dicit Dominus Deus
et cessare faciam multitudinem Aegypti
in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis
11 ipse et populus eius cum eo
fortissimi gentium adducentur ad disperdendam terram
et evaginabunt gladios suos super Aegyptum
et implebunt terram interfectis
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
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
14 et disperdam terram Fatures
et dabo ignem in Tafnis et faciam iudicia in Alexandriam
15 et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium robur Aegypti
et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriae
16 et dabo ignem in Aegypto
quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium et Alexandria erit dissipata
et in Memphis angustiae cotidianae
17 iuvenes Eliupoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent
et ipsae captivae ducentur
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
19 et faciam iudicia in Aegypto et scient quia ego Dominus
20 et factum est in undecimo anno in primo in septima mensis
factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
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
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
23 et dispergam Aegyptum in gentibus et ventilabo eos in terris
24 et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis
daboque gladium meum in manu eius
et confringam brachia Pharaonis
et gement gemitibus interfecti coram facie eius
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
26 et dispergam Aegyptum in nationes et ventilabo eos in terris
et scient quia ego Dominus
