Hiezechielis Prophetæ 30
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis propheta, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ululate, væ, væ diei:
“Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Wail, “Woe is the coming day.”
3 quia iuxta est dies, et appropinquat dies Domini: dies nubis, tempus Gentium erit.
The day is near. The day is near for Yahweh. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for nations.
4 Et veniet gladius in Ægyptum: et erit pavor in Æthiopia, cum ceciderint vulnerati in Ægypto, et ablata fuerit multitudo illius, et destructa fundamenta eius.
Then a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the killed people fall in Egypt— when they take her wealth, and when her foundations are ruined.
5 Æthiopia, et Libya, et Lydi, et omne reliquum vulgus, et Chub, et filii terræ fœderis, cum eis gladio cadent.
Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, and Libya, together with the people belonging to the covenant—they will all fall by the sword.
6 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et corruent fulcientes Ægyptum, et destruetur superbia imperii eius: a turre Syenes gladio cadent in ea, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
Yahweh says this: So the ones who support Egypt will fall, and the pride of her strength will go down. From Migdol to Syene their soldiers will fall by the sword—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
7 Et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum, et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt.
They will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands, and their cities will be among all the ruined cities.
8 Et scient quia ego Dominus: cum dedero ignem in Ægypto, et attriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius.
Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I set fire in Egypt, and when all of her helpers are destroyed.
9 In die illa egredientur nuncii a facie mea in trieribus ad conterendam Æthiopiæ confidentiam, et erit pavor in eis in die Ægypti, quia absque dubio veniet.
In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to terrorize a secure Cush, and there will be anguish among them on the day of Egypt's doom. For behold! It is coming.
10 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: cessare faciam multitudinem Ægypti in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will make an end of the multitudes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
11 Ipse et populus eius cum eo fortissimi Gentium adducentur ad disperdendam terram: et evaginabunt gladios suos super Ægyptum: et implebunt terram interfectis.
He and his army with him, the terror of nations, will be brought to destroy the land; they will draw out their swords against Egypt and fill the land with those who have been killed.
12 Et faciam alveos fluminum aridos, et tradam terram in manus pessimorum: et dissipabo terram, et plenitudinem eius manu alienorum, ego Dominus locutus sum.
I will make the rivers into dry ground, and I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men. I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers—I, Yahweh, have spoken.
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et disperdam simulachra, et cessare faciam idola de Memphis: et dux de Terra Ægypti non erit amplius: et dabo terrorem in Terra Ægypti.
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will destroy idols, and I will bring an end to the worthless idols of Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt, and I will put terror on the land of Egypt.
14 Et disperdam terram Phathures, et dabo ignem in Taphnis, et faciam iudicia in Alexandria.
Then I will make Pathros desolate and set fire in Zoan, and I will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.
15 Et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium robur Ægypti, et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriæ,
For I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
16 et dabo ignem in Ægypto: quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium, et Alexandria erit dissipata, et in Memphis angustiæ quotidianæ.
Then I will set fire in Egypt; Pelusium will be in great agony, Thebes will be broken up, and Memphis will face enemies every day.
17 Iuvenes Heliopoleos, et Bubasti gladio cadent, et ipsæ captivæ ducentur.
The young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and their cities will go into captivity.
18 Et in Taphnis nigrescet dies, cum contrivero ibi sceptra Ægypti, et defecerit in ea superbia potentiæ eius: ipsam nubes operiet, filiæ autem eius in captivitatem ducentur.
In Tahpanhes, the day will hold back its light when I break the yoke of Egypt there, and the pride of her strength will be finished. There will be a cloud covering her, and her daughters will walk into captivity.
19 Et iudicia faciam in Ægypto: et scient quia ego Dominus.
I will execute acts of judgment in Egypt, so they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
20 Et factum est in undecimo anno, in primo mense, in septima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
21 Fili hominis brachium Pharaonis regis Ægypti confregi: et ecce non est obvolutum ut restitueretur ei sanitas, ut ligaretur pannis, et fasciaretur linteolis, ut recepto robore posset tenere gladium.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Behold! It has not been bound up, or set to heal with a bandage, so that it will become strong enough to grasp a sword.
22 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et comminuam brachium eius forte, sed confractum: et deiiciam gladium de manu eius:
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. For I will break his arm, both the strong one and the broken one, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
23 et dispergam Ægyptum in gentibus, et ventilabo eos in terris.
Then I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
24 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, daboque gladium meum in manu eius: et confringam brachia Pharaonis, et gement gemitibus interfecti coram facie eius.
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and place my sword in his hand so that I might destroy Pharaoh's arms. He will groan before the king of Babylon with the groans of a dying man.
25 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, et brachia Pharaonis concident: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero gladium meum in manu regis Babylonis, et extenderit eum super Terram Ægypti.
For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while Pharaoh's arms will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon; for he will attack the land of Egypt with it.
26 Et dispergam Ægyptum in nationes, et ventilabo eos in terras, et scient quia ego Dominus.
So I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them through the lands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
