Hiezechielis Prophetæ 29

1 In anno decimo, decimo mense, undecima die mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti, et prophetabis de eo, et de Aegypto universa:

"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

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 memetipsum.

Speak and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, 'My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.'

4 Et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis: et agglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis: et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum, et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adhaerebunt.

I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.

5 Et proiiciam 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.

I'll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You'll fall on the open field. You won't be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

6 Et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus: pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus domui Israel.

All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

7 Quando apprehenderunt te manu, et confractus es, et lacerasti omnem humerum eorum: et innitentibus eis super te, comminutus es, et dissolvisti omnes renes eorum.

When they took hold of you with their hand, you splintered and dislocated their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you shattered and caused their legs to be unsteady."

8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam super te gladium: et interficiam de te hominem, et iumentum.

"'Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.

9 Et erit Terra Aegypti in desertum, et in solitudinem: et scient quia ego Dominus: pro eo quod dixeris: Fluvius meus est, et ego feci eum.

The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Because he has said, 'The river is mine, and I have made it;'

10 Idcirco ecce ego ad te, et ad flumina tua: daboque Terram Aegypti in solitudines, gladio dissipatam, a turre Syenes, usque ad terminos Aethiopiae.

therefore, look, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.

11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis, neque pes iumenti gradietur in ea: et non habitabitur quadraginta annis.

No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

12 Daboque Terram Aegypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum, et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarum, et erunt desolatae quadraginta annis: et dispergam Aegyptios in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras.

I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."

13 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Aegyptum de populis, in quibus dispersi fuerant.

"'For thus says the LORD: "At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;

14 Et reducam captivitatem Aegypti, et collocabo eos in terra Phathures, in terra nativitatis suae: et erunt ibi in regnum humile:

and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

15 inter cetera regna erit humillima, et non elevabitur ultra super nationes, et imminuam eos ne imperent Gentibus.

It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

16 Neque erunt ultra domui Israel in confidentia, docentes iniquitatem, ut fugiant, et sequantur eos: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.

It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the LORD."'"

17 Et factum est in vigesimo et septimo anno, in primo, in una mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

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 to me, saying,

18 Fili hominis Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversum Tyrum: omne caput decalvatum, et omnis humerus depilatus est: et merces non est reddita ei, neque exercitui eius de Tyro pro servitute, qua servivit mihi adversus eam.

"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.

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,

Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Look, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

20 et operi, quo servivit adversus eam: dedi ei Terram Aegypti, pro eo quod laboraverit mihi, ait Dominus Deus.

I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me,' says the LORD.

21 In die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israel, et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum: et scient quia ego Dominus.

'In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"
