Ezekiel 29

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,

١ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعَاشِرَةِ، فِي ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا.

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.

٣ تَكَلَّمْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، ٱلتِّمْسَاحُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلرَّابِضُ فِي وَسْطِ أَنْهَارِهِ، ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: نَهْرِي لِي، وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي.

4 And 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, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy scales.

٤ فَأَجْعَلُ خَزَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ وَأُلْزِقُ سَمَكَ أَنْهَارِكَ بِحَرْشَفِكَ، وَأُطْلِعُكَ مِنْ وَسْطِ أَنْهَارِكَ وَكُلُّ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ مُلْزَقٌ بِحَرْشَفِكَ.

5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven,

٥ وَأَتْرُكُكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعَ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ. عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ تَسْقُطُ فَلَا تُجْمَعُ وَلَا تُلَمُّ. بَذَلْتُكَ طَعَامًا لِوُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَلِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

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.

٦ وَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ مِصْرَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ أَجْلِ كَوْنِهِمْ عُكَّازَ قَصَبٍ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

٧ عِنْدَ مَسْكِهِمْ بِكَ بِٱلْكَفِّ، ٱنْكَسَرْتَ وَمَزَّقْتَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ كَتِفٍ، وَلَمَّا تَوَكَّأُوا عَلَيْكَ ٱنْكَسَرْتَ وَقَلْقَلْتَ كُلَّ مُتُونِهِمْ.

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.

٨ «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ سَيْفًا، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ.

9 And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

٩ وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً وَخَرِبَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: ٱلنَّهْرُ لِي وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ.

10 therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia.

١٠ لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَنْهَارِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ خِرَبًا خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً، مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ، إِلَى تُخْمِ كُوشَ.

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

١١ لَا تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلَا تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ بَهِيمَةٍ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

12 And 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.

١٢ وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلْمُقْفِرَةِ، وَمُدُنَهَا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْخَرِبَةِ تَكُونُ مُقْفِرَةً أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَأُشَتِّتُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

13 For thus saith the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered:

١٣ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: عِنْدَ نَهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَجْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا بَيْنَهُمْ،

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 birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

١٤ وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ فَتْرُوسَ، إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِهِمْ، وَيَكُونُونَ هُنَاكَ مَمْلَكَةً حَقِيرَةً.

15 It shall be the basest 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.

١٥ تَكُونُ أَحْقَرَ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ فَلَا تَرْتَفِعُ بَعْدُ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُقَلِّلُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ.

16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

١٦ فَلَا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ مُعْتَمَدًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُذَكِّرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ بِٱنْصِرَافِهِمْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

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,

١٧ وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:

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

١٨ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ ٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَيْشَهُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً عَلَى صُورَ. كُلُّ رَأْسٍ قَرِعَ، وَكُلُّ كَتِفٍ تَجَرَّدَتْ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَا لِجَيْشِهِ أُجْرَةٌ مِنْ صُورَ لِأَجْلِ خِدْمَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي خَدَمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا.

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar 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.

١٩ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَبْذُلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَأْخُذُ ثَرْوَتَهَا، وَيَغْنَمُ غَنِيمَتَهَا، وَيَنْهَبُ نَهْبَهَا فَتَكُونُ أُجْرَةً لِجَيْشِهِ.

20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompence for which he served, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

٢٠ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِأَجْلِ شُغْلِهِ ٱلَّذِي خَدَمَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا لِأَجْلِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

21 In that day will I cause an horn to bud forth unto the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

٢١ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُنْبِتُ قَرْنًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَأَجْعَلُ لَكَ فَتْحَ ٱلْفَمِ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».
