1 In the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:
1 In the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharao the king of Ægypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, & of all Ægypt.
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, and of all Egypt:
3 Speak, and thou shalt say: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee Pharao king of Ægypt, thou great dragon, which liest in the midst of thy rivers, & sayest: The river is mine, & I made it myself.
3 Speak, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, Pharao king of Egypt, thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest: The river is mine, and I made myself.
4 And I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will fasten the fishes of thy rivers to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of the rivers, and all thy fishes shall stick to thy scales.
4 But I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all thy fish shall stick to thy scales.
5 And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fishes of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be collected, nor gathered together: to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the heaven have I given thee to be devoured.
5 And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be taken up, nor gathered together: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the air.
6 And all the inhabitants of Ægypt shall know that I am the Lord: for that thou hast been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord: ¹because thou hast been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel.
7 When they took thee with the hand, & thou wast broken, and didst rent all their shoulder: and they leaning upon thee, thou was broken, and didst dissolve all their reins.
7 When they took hold of thee with the hand thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brokest, and weakenest all their loins.
8 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will bring upon thee the sword: and will kill out of thee man, & beast.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee: and cut off man and beast out of thee.
9 And the Land of Ægypt shall be into a desert, and into a wilderness: & they shall know that I am the Lord: for that thou hast said: The river is mine, & I made it.
9 And the land of Egypt shall become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast said: The river is mine, and I made it.
10 Therefore behold I to thee, and to thy rivers: and I will give the Land of Ægypt into desolations, destroyed with the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Æthiopia.
10 Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 The foot of men shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beast go in it: & it shall not be inhabited forty years.
11 The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years.
12 And I will make the Land of Ægypt desert in the midst of desert lands, & the cities thereof in the midst of cities overthrown, and they shall be desolate forty years: & I will disperse the Ægyptians into nations, and will scatter them into the lands.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Because thus saith our Lord God: After the end of forty years I will gather Ægypt out of the peoples in which they had been dispersed.
13 For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered.
14 And I will bring back the captivity of Ægypt, & will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there as a low kingdom:
14 And I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there a low kingdom:
15 among other kingdoms it shall be lowest, and it shall no more be elevated over the nations, and I will diminish them that they rule not over the Gentiles.
15 It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more over the nations.
16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israel in confidence, teaching iniquity, that they may fly, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
16 And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first, in the first of the month: the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon hath made his army to serve with great service against Tyre: every head made bald, and every shoulder hath the hair plucked off: and there hath been no reward rendered him, nor his army concerning Tyre, for the service that he served me against it.
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it.
19 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will give Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Ægypt: & he shall take the multitude thereof, and take the booties thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: & it shall be a reward for his army,
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: ²and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army.
20 and for the work, that he served me against it: I have given him the land of Ægypt, for that they have laboured for me, saith our Lord God.
20 And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath labored for me, saith the Lord God.
21 In that day there shall a horn spring to the house of Israel, & I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
21 In that day a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
