Ezekiel 32

1 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,

And it came to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

2 “Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and you have said to him: You have been like a young lion of nations, And you [are] as a dragon in the seas, And you come forth with your flowings, And trouble the waters with your feet, And you foul their flowings.

Son of man Take up a dirge over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and thou shalt say unto him. The young lion of the nations, thou didst deem thyself, - Whereas thou, wast like the crocodile in the seas, And didst cause thy streams to burst forth And didst trouble the waters with thy feet, And foul their rivers.

3 Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have spread out My net for you, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have brought you up in My net.

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Therefore will I spread over thee my net, With a gathered host of many peoples, -And they shall bring thee up in my net;

4 And I have left you in the land, I cast you out on the face of the field, And I have caused every bird of the heavens to dwell on you, And have satisfied every beast of the earth with you.

And I will stretch thee out on the land, Over the face of the field, will I fling thee, - And will cause to settle upon thee all the birds of the heavens, And will satiate with thee the wild beasts of all the earth;

5 And I have put your flesh on the mountains, And filled the valleys [with] your heap,

And I will lay thy flesh on the mountains, — And fill the valleys, with thy blood;

6 And watered the land with your flowing, From your blood—to the mountains, And streams are filled with you.

And will soak the earth with thy blood, amongst the mountains, - And the channels shall be filled with thee.

7 And in quenching you I have covered the heavens, And have made their stars black, I cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon does not cause its light to shine.

And when I quench thee, I will cover the heavens, And obscure their stars, — The sun—with a cloud, will I cover, And the moon shall not shed her light;

8 I make all luminaries of light in the heavens black over you, And I have given darkness over your land, A declaration of Lord YHWH,

As for all the light-bearers in the heavens, I will obscure them over thee— And will stretch out darkness over thy land, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

9 And I have distressed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in your destruction among nations, To lands that you have not known.

And I will aggrieve the heart of many peoples, - when I bring them who are broken off from thee among the nations, unto lands which thou hast not known.

10 And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid because of you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life—in the day of your fall.

Yea I will cause amazement over thee unto many peoples And the hair of their kings shall stand on end over thee, when I brandish my sword over their faces, - And they shall tremble every moment every man for his own life, In the day of thy fall.

11 For thus said Lord YHWH: A sword of the king of Babylon enters you,

For thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: -the sword of the king of Babylon shall reach thee.

12 I cause your multitude to fall by swords of the mighty, The terrible of nations—all of them, And they have spoiled the excellence of Egypt, And all her multitude has been destroyed.

With the swords of mighty men, will I cause thy multitude to fall, Terrible ones of the nations all of them!-And they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, And all her multitude shall be destroyed,

13 And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many waters, And a foot of man does not trouble them anymore, Indeed, the hooves of beasts do not trouble them.

And I will cause to perish all her beasts, from beside the many waters, — And the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, Nor shall hoof of beast, trouble them.

14 Then I cause their waters to sink, And I cause their rivers to go as oil, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

Then, will I make their waters subside, And, their streams—like oil, will I cause to flow, — Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

15 In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And the land has been desolated of its fullness, In My striking all the inhabitants in it, Then they have known that I [am] YHWH.

When I make the land of Egypt an astonishment A land laid bare of its fulness, When I cut off all that dwell therein, Then shall they know that, I am Yahweh.

16 It [is] a lamentation, and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

A dirge, it is And they shall chant it, The daughters of the nations Shall chant it: Over Egypt and over all her multitude, Shall they chant it, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

17 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,

And it came to pass in the twelfth year on the fifteenth of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

18 “Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It, and the daughters of majestic nations, To the lower parts of the earth, With those going down to the pit.

Son of man Wail thou over the multitude of Egypt and cause it to descend—her and the daughters of the famous nations—into the earth below with them who descend into the pit.

19 Whom have you surpassed in beauty? Go down, and be laid with [the] uncircumcised.

Than whom, art thou more precious? Descend and be laid low with the uncircumcised:

20 They fall in the midst of the pierced of the sword, She has been given [to] the sword, They drew her out, and all her multitude.

Into the midst of them who were thrust through by the sword, let them fall, -To the sword, hath she been delivered up, Lay ye hold of her and all her multitudes.

21 The gods of the mighty speak to him out of the midst of Sheol, With his helpers—they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. (Sheol h7585)

The chiefs of the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hades, with his helpers, - They have descended They have lain down. The uncircumcised! Thrust through by the sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, His graves [are] around him, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by sword,

There, is Assyria with all her gathered host, Round about him, are his graves, All of them thrust through, The fallen by the sword:

23 Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is around her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living.

Whose graves have been set In the recesses of the pit, And so her gathered host is round about her grave, All of them thrust through. Fallen by the sword, Who caused terror in the land of the living.

24 There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Around her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

There, is Persia with all her multitude, round about her grave, — All of them, thrust through The fallen by the sword Who have descended, uncircumcised into the earth below Who made themselves a terror in the land of the living, And so they have borne their confusion with them who descend into the pit:

25 They have appointed a bed for her in the midst of the wounded, With all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, He has been set in the midst of the pierced.

In the midst of them who were thrust through, have they have placed a couch for her with all her multitude, Round about it, are her graves, -All of them, uncircumcised. Thrust through with the sword. For that their terror was caused in the land of the living. And so they have borne their confusion, with them who descend into the pit, In the midst of them who were thrust through, hath it been placed.

26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living,

There, are Meshech-Tuba and all her multitude, Round about it, are her graves, — All of them uncircumcised, Who were thrust through with the sword, For that they made themselves a terror in the land of the living;

27 And they do not lie with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

Therefore shall they not lie with the mighty men The fallen ones from age-past times, Who descended into hades with their weapons of war And their swords were placed under their heads. But their iniquities have come upon their bones Because of the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 And you are broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, And lie with the pierced of the sword.

Thou, therefore in the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt be overthrown. And shalt lie low with them who were thrust through by the sword.

29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They lie with the uncircumcised, And with those going down to the pit.

There, are Edom her kings and all her princes, Who have been delivered up in their might. With them who were thrust through by he sword, — They with the uncircumcised, shall lie low. Even with them who descend into the pit.

30 There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, They are ashamed of their might, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

There, are the princes of the North, all of them, and all the Zidonians, Who have descended with them who were thrust through. By reason of the terror they caused, of their might, are they ashamed, So they have lain down uncircumcised. With them who were thrust through by the sword, And they have bowed their confusion with them who descend into the pit.

31 Then Pharaoh sees, And he has been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword—Pharaoh and all his force, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

Them, shall Pharaoh see, and be grieved over all his multitude, — Thrust through with the sword, shall be Pharaoh and all his army! Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

32 For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And he has been laid down in [the] midst of [the] uncircumcised, With [the] pierced of [the] sword—Pharaoh, and all his multitude, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”

For I have suffered his terror to be in the land of the living, Therefore shall be laid low In the midst of the uncircumcised With them who were thrust through by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude! Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
