Hiezechielis Prophetæ 29
1 in anno decimo in decimo mense undecima mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti et prophetabis de eo et de Aegypto universa
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 loquere et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te Pharao rex Aegypti draco magne qui cubas in medio fluminum tuorum et dicis meus est fluvius et ego feci memet ipsum
Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’
4 et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis et adglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adherebunt
But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.
5 et proiciam te in desertum et omnes pisces fluminis tui super faciem terrae cades non colligeris neque congregaberis bestiis terrae et volatilibus caeli dedi te ad devorandum
I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.
6 et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti quia ego Dominus pro eo quod fuisti baculus harundineus domui Israhel
Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.
7 quando adprehenderunt te manu et confractus es et lacerasti omnem umerum eorum et innitentibus eis super te comminutus es et dissolvisti omnes renes eorum
When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.
8 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adducam super te gladium et interficiam de te hominem et iumentum
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
9 et erit terra Aegypti in desertum et solitudinem et scient quia ego Dominus eo quod dixerit fluvius meus est et ego feci
The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’
10 idcirco ecce ego ad te et ad flumina tua daboque terram Aegypti in solitudines gladio dissipatam a turre Syenes usque ad terminos Aethiopiae
therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.
11 non pertransibit eam pes hominis neque pes iumenti gradietur in ea et non habitabitur quadraginta annis
No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 daboque terram Aegypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarum erunt desolatae quadraginta annis et dispergam Aegyptios in nationes et ventilabo eos in terras
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
13 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Aegyptum de populis in quibus dispersi fuerunt
For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 et reducam captivitatem Aegypti et conlocabo eos in terra Fatures in terra nativitatis suae et erunt ibi in regnum humile
I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 inter regna cetera erit humillima et non elevabitur ultra super nationes et inminuam eos ne imperent gentibus
Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.
16 neque erunt ultra domui Israhel in confidentia docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant et sequantur eos et scient quia ego Dominus Deus
Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
17 et factum est in vicesimo et septimo anno in primo in una mensis factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 fili hominis Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversum Tyrum omne caput decalvatum et omnis umerus depilatus est et merces non est reddita ei neque exercitui eius de Tyro pro servitute qua servivit mihi adversum eam
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
19 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in terra Aegypti et accipiet multitudinem eius et depraedabitur manubias eius et diripiet spolia eius et erit merces exercitui illius
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
20 et operi pro quo servivit adversum eam dedi ei terram Aegypti pro eo quod laboraverunt mihi ait Dominus Deus
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.
21 in die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israhel et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum et scient quoniam ego Dominus
In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
