Hiezechielis Prophetæ 32

1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Fili hominis assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Aegypti, et dices ad eum: Leoni Gentium assimilatus es, et draconi, qui est in mari: et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis, et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis, et conculcabas flumina earum.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou didst come forth with thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst foul their rivers.

3 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

4 Et proiiciam te in terram, super faciem agri abiiciam te: et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia caeli, et saturabo de te bestias universae terrae.

Then will I leave thee upon the land, and I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.

6 Et irrigabo terram foetore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te.

I will also water with thy blood the land in which thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, caelum, et nigrescere faciam stellas eius: solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum.

And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

8 Omnia luminaria caeli moerere faciam super te: et dabo tenebras super terram tuam, dicit Dominus Deus, cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terrae, ait Dominus Deus.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum cum induxero contritionem tuam in Gentibus super terras, quas nescis.

I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

10 Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos: et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te, propter universas iniquitates, quas operatus es, cum volare coeperit gladius meus super facies eorum: et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinae suae.

Yea, I will make many people astonished at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

11 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi,

For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.

12 in gladiis fortium deiiciam multitudinem tuam: inexpugnabiles omnes Gentes hae: et vastabunt superbiam Aegypti, et dissipabitur multitudo eius.

By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall lay waste the pomp of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

13 Et perdam omnia iumenta eius, quae erant super aquas plurimas: et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra, neque ungula iumentorum turbabit eas.

I will destroy also all its beasts from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus:

Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.

15 Cum dedero Terram Aegypti desolatam: deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua, quando percussero omnes habitatores eius: et scient quia ego Dominus.

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell in it, then shall they know that I am the LORD.

16 Planctus est, et plangent eum: filiae Gentium plangent eum: super Aegyptum, et super multitudinem eius plangent eum, ait Dominus Deus.

This is the lamentation which they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

18 Fili hominis cane carmen lugubre super multitudinem Aegypti: et detrahe eam ipsam, et filias Gentium robustarum ad terram ultimam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.

Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

19 Quo pulchrior es? descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.

Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.

20 In medio interfectorum gladio cadent: gladius datus est, attraxerunt eam, et omnes populos eius.

They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.

21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni, qui cum auxiliatoribus eius descenderunt, et dormierunt incircumcisi, interfecti gladio. (Sheol h7585)

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu illius sepulchra eius: omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.

Assyria is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

23 Quorum data sunt sepulchra in novissimis laci: et facta est multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri eius: universi interfecti, cadentesque gladio, qui dederant quondam formidinem in terra viventium.

Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is around her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

24 Ibi Aelam, et omnis multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri sui, omnes hi interfecti, ruentesque gladio: qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam: qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his, qui descenderunt in lacum.

There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

25 In medio interfectorum posuerunt cubile eius in universis populis eius: in circuitu eius sepulchrum illius: omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique gladio. dederunt enim terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum: in medio interfectorum positi sunt.

They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are around him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain.

26 Ibi Mosoch, et Thubal, et omnis multitudo eius: in circuitu eius sepulchra illius. omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique et cadentes gladio: quia dederunt formidinem suam in terra viventium.

There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are around him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

27 Et non dormient cum fortibus, cadentibusque et incircumcisis, qui descenderunt ad infernum cum armis suis, et posuerunt gladios suos sub capitibus suis, et fuerunt iniquitates eorum in ossibus eorum: quia terror fortium facti sunt in terra viventium. (Sheol h7585)

And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris, et dormies cum interfectis gladio.

Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.

29 Ibi Idumaea, et reges eius, et omnes duces eius, qui dati sunt cum exercitu suo cum interfectis gladio: et qui cum incircumcisis dormierunt, et cum his, qui descenderunt in lacum.

There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

30 Ibi principes Aquilonis omnes, et universi venatores: qui deducti sunt cum interfectis, paventes, et in sua fortitudine confusi: qui dormierunt incircumcisi cum interfectis gladio, et portaverunt confusionem suam cum his, qui descendunt in lacum.

There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

31 Vidit eos Pharao, et consolatus est super universa multitudine sua, quae interfecta est gladio, Pharao, et omnis exercitus eius, ait Dominus Deus:

Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

32 quia dedit terrorem suum in terra viventium, et dormivit in medio incircumcisorum cum interfectis gladio: Pharao et omnis multitudo eius: ait Dominus Deus.

For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
