Ezekiel 29

1 In the year tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] two plus ten of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 O son of humankind set face your on Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and prophesy on him and on Egypt all of it.

'Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;

3 Speak and you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt the sea monster great which lies in among canals its which it has said [belongs] to me River my and I I made for myself.

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, that hath said: My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

4 And I will put (hooks *Qk) in jaws your and I will make cling [the] fish of canals your to scales your and I will bring up you from among canals your and all [the] fish of canals your to scales your it will cling.

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, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

5 And I will abandon you the wilderness towards you and all [the] fish of canals your on [the] surface of the field you will fall not you will be gathered and not you will be gathered to [the] animal[s] of the earth and to [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will give you for food.

And I will cast thee 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; to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven have I given thee for food.

6 And they will know all [the] inhabitants of Egypt that I [am] Yahweh because have been they a staff of reed for [the] house of Israel.

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.

7 When seized they you (by the hand *QK) you were crushed and you broke of them every shoulder and when leaned they on you you were broken and you caused to stand of them all hips.

When they take hold of thee with the hand, thou dost break, and rend all their shoulders; and when they lean upon thee, thou breakest, and makest all their loins to be at a stand.

8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring on you a sword and I will cut off from you humankind and animal[s].

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

9 And it will become [the] land of Egypt a desolation and a ruin and they will know that I [am] Yahweh because he said [the] River [belongs] to me and I I made [it].

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

10 Therefore here I [am] against you and against canals your and I will make [the] land of Egypt ruins of destruction a desolation from Migdol Syene and to [the] border of Cush.

Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

11 Not it will pass in it [the] foot of human[s] and [the] foot of animal[s] not it will pass in it and not it will remain forty year[s].

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

12 And I will make [the] land of Egypt a desolation in midst of - lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities laid waste they will be a desolation forty year[s] and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

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

13 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh from [the] end of forty year[s] I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered there towards.

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

14 And I will turn back [the] captivity of Egypt and I will bring back them [the] land of Pathros to [the] land of origin their and they will be there a kingdom lowly.

and I will turn the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a lowly kingdom.

15 More than the kingdoms it will be lowly and not it will exalt itself again over the nations and I will make small them to not to rule over the nations.

It shall be the lowliest 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 And not it will become again for [the] house of Israel a confidence bringing to remembrance iniquity when turned they after them and they will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.

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

17 And it was in twenty and seven year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

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:

18 O son of humankind Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon he made to labor army his labor great against Tyre every head [was] made bald and every shoulder [was] made bare and wage[s] not it belonged to him and to army his from Tyre on the labor which he had labored on it.

'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;

19 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [the] land of Egypt and he will carry off wealth its and he will plunder plunder its and he will take as spoil spoil its and it will be wage[s] for army his.

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 abundance, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

20 Recompense his which he served for it I have given to him [the] land of Egypt that they acted for me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

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

21 On the day that I will make grow a horn for [the] house of Israel and to you I will give opening of mouth in midst of them and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

In that day will I cause a horn to shoot up 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.'
