حِزْقِيال 30

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

٢ 2 «يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَلْوِلُوا قَائِلِينَ: يَالَلْيَوْمِ الرَّهِيبِ!

'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Wail ye: Woe worth the day!

٣ 3 إِنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً؛ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ، إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُكْفَهِرٌّ بِالْغُيُومِ، سَاعَةُ دَيْنُونَةٍ لِلأُمَمِ،

For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a day of clouds, it shall be the time of the nations.

٤ 4 إِذْ يُجَرَّدُ سَيْفٌ عَلَى مِصْرَ، فَيَعُمُّ الذُّعْرُ الشَّدِيدُ كُوشَ، عِنْدَمَا يَتَهَاوَى قَتْلَى مِصْرَ وَيُسْتَوْلَى عَلَى ثَرْوَتِهَا، وَتُنْقَضُ أُسُسُهَا.

And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and convulsion shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her abundance, and her foundation shall be broken down.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ تَسْقُطُ مَعَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ كُوشُ وَفُوطُ وَلُودُ وَشِبْهُ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَلِيبِيَا وَشُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ الْمُتَحَالِفَةِ مَعَهُمْ.

Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

٦ 6 حَقّاً يَسْقُطُ مُنَاصِرُ مِصْرَ وَتُذَلُّ كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا، فَيَتَهَاوَى بِالسَّيْفِ سُكَّانُهَا مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Thus saith the LORD: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

٧ 7 فَتُصْبِحُ أَكْثَرَ الأَرَاضِي الْمُقْفِرَةِ وَحْشَةً، وَتَضْحَى مُدُنُهَا أَكْثَرَ الْمُدُنِ خَرَاباً!

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.

٨ 8 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي مِصْرَ وَيَنْهَارُ جَمِيعُ حُلَفَائِهَا.

And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

٩ 9 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُسْرِعُ رُسُلِي إِلَى كُوشَ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةِ لِيُثِيرُوا فِيهَا الرُّعْبَ فِي يَوْمِ هَلاَكِ مِصْرَ، الَّذِي لاَبُدَّ أَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ.

In that day shall messengers go forth from before Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid; and there shall come convulsion upon them in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.

١٠ 10 لأَنِّي سَأُفْنِي جَمَاهِيرَ مِصْرَ بِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

١١ 11 إِذْ يُقْبِلُ هُوَ وَجَيْشُهُ، أَعْتَى جُيُوشِ الأُمَمِ، لِخَرَابِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَيُجَرِّدُونَ عَلَيْهَا سُيُوفَهُمْ وَيَمْلأُونَ أَرْضَهَا بِالْقَتْلَى.

He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

١٢ 12 وَأُجَفِّفُ مَجَارِي نَهْرِ النِّيلِ، وَأَبِيعُ الأَرْضَ لِقَوْمٍ أَشْرَارٍ، وَأُخَرِّبُ الْبِلاَدَ فِيهَا بِيَدِ غُرَبَاءَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَضَيْتُ.

And I will make the rivers dry, and will give the land over into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken it.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ أُحَطِّمُ الأَصْنَامَ وَأُزِيلُ الأَوْثَانَ مِنْ مَمْفِيسَ، وَلاَ يَبْقَى بَعْدُ رَئِيسٌ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَأُلْقِي فِيهَا الرُّعْبَ.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the things of nought to cease from Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

١٤ 14 وَأُخَرِّبُ فَتْرُوسَ، وَأُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي صُوعَنَ، وَأُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي طِيبَةَ.

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

١٥ 15 وَأَصُبُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى سِينَ حِصْنِ مِصْرَ، وَأُبِيدُ أَهْلَ طِيبَةَ.

And I will pour My fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

١٦ 16 وَأُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي مِصْرَ فَتُقَاسِي سِينُ أَشَدَّ الأَلَمِ، وَتَتَمَزَّقُ طِيبَةُ شَرَّ تَمْزِيقٍ، وَتَتَعَرَّضُ مَمْفِيسُ لِلرُّعْبِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.

And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great convulsion, and No shall be rent asunder; and in Noph shall come adversaries in the day-time.

١٧ 17 وَيَتَسَاقَطُ بِالسَّيْفِ شُبَّانُ آوَنَ وَفِيبِسْتَةَ، وَيُسْبَى بَقِيَّةُ سُكَّانِهَا

The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.

١٨ 18 وَيُظْلِمُ النَّهَارُ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ عِنْدَمَا أُحَطِّمُ أَنْيَارَ مِصْرَ هُنَاكَ، وَتَتَلاَشَى كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا. أَمَّا هِيَ فَتَغْشَاهَا سَحَابَةٌ، وَتُسْبَى بَنَاتُهَا.

At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

١٩ 19 وَهَكَذَا أُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي مِصْرَ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'

٢٠ 20 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ الْعِبْرِيِّ (أَيْ آذَارَ - مَارِسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ (مِنْ سَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاكِينَ)، أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

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:

٢١ 21 «يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنِّي حَطَّمْتُ ذِرَاعَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَلَنْ تُجْبَرَ بِالرَّفَائِدِ أَوِ الْعَصَائِبِ، فَتُجَرِّدُ سَيْفاً،

'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to be healed, to put a roller, that it be bound up and wax strong, that it hold the sword.

٢٢ 22 وَهَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَأُحَطِّمُ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، السَّلِيمَةَ وَالْمَكْسُورَةَ، وَأُسْقِطُ السَّيْفَ مِنْ يَدِهِ.

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.

٢٣ 23 وَأُشَتِّتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُفَرِّقُهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ.

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

٢٤ 24 وَأُشَدِّدُ ذِرَاعَيْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَأَضَعُ سَيْفِي فِي يَدِهِ، وَأُحَطِّمُ ذِرَاعَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَيَئِنُّ أَمَامَهُ أَنِينَ الْجَرِيحِ.

And 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 shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

٢٥ 25 وَأُشَدِّدُ ذِرَاعَيْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ. أَمَّا ذِرَاعَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَتَهَاوَيَانِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَضَعُ سَيْفِي فِي يَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيُجَرِّدُهُ عَلَى دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

And I will hold up 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.

٢٦ 26 وَأُبَدِّدُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُمَزِّقُهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
