1 in anno decimo in decimo mense undecima mensis
factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti
et prophetabis de eo et de Aegypto universa
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
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
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
6 et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus
pro eo quod fuisti baculus harundineus domui Israhel
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
8 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
ecce ego adducam super te gladium
et interficiam de te hominem et iumentum
9 et erit terra Aegypti in desertum et solitudinem
et scient quia ego Dominus
eo quod dixerit fluvius meus est et ego feci
10 idcirco ecce ego ad te et ad flumina tua
daboque terram Aegypti in solitudines gladio dissipatam
a turre Syenes usque ad terminos Aethiopiae
11 non pertransibit eam pes hominis
neque pes iumenti gradietur in ea
et non habitabitur quadraginta annis
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
13 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus
post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Aegyptum
de populis in quibus dispersi fuerunt
14 et reducam captivitatem Aegypti
et conlocabo eos in terra Fatures in terra nativitatis suae
et erunt ibi in regnum humile
15 inter regna cetera erit humillima
et non elevabitur ultra super nationes
et inminuam eos ne imperent gentibus
16 neque erunt ultra domui Israhel in confidentia
docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant et sequantur eos
et scient quia ego Dominus Deus
17 et factum est in vicesimo et septimo anno in primo in una mensis
factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
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
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
20 et operi pro quo servivit adversum eam
dedi ei terram Aegypti
pro eo quod laboraverunt mihi ait Dominus Deus
21 in die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israhel
et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum
et scient quoniam ego Dominus
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month , in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: 3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. 4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. 6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it . 10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. 11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 ¶ Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered: 14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. 15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations. 16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
17 ¶ And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month , in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
21 ¶ In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
