Ezekiel 29

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

فِي السَّنَةِ الْعَاشِرَةِ، فِي الثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ، كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

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

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، اجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا.

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.

تَكَلَّمْ وَقُلْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، التِّمْسَاحُ الْكَبِيرُ الرَّابِضُ فِي وَسْطِ أَنْهَارِهِ، الَّذِي قَالَ: نَهْرِي لِي، وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي.

But 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.

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

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

وَأَتْرُكُكَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعَ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ. عَلَى وَجْهِ الْحَقْلِ تَسْقُطُ فَلاَ تُجْمَعُ وَلاَ تُلَمُّ. بَذَلْتُكَ طَعَامًا لِوُحُوشِ الْبَرِّ وَلِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ.

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.

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

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

عِنْدَ مَسْكِهِمْ بِكَ بِالْكَفِّ، انْكَسَرْتَ وَمَزَّقْتَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ كَتِفٍ، وَلَمَّا تَوَكَّأُوا عَلَيْكَ انْكَسَرْتَ وَقَلْقَلْتَ كُلَّ مُتُونِهِمْ.

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

« لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ سَيْفًا، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْكَ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْحَيَوَانَ.

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.

وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً وَخَرِبَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّهُ قَالَ: النَّهْرُ لِي وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ.

Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

لِذلِكَ هأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَنْهَارِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ خِرَبًا خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً، مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ، إِلَى تُخْمِ كُوشَ.

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

لاَ تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلاَ تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ بَهِيمَةٍ، وَلاَ تُسْكَنُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

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.

وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً فِي وَسْطِ الأَرَاضِي الْمُقْفِرَةِ، وَمُدُنَهَا فِي وَسْطِ الْمُدُنِ الْخَرِبَةِ تَكُونُ مُقْفِرَةً أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَأُشَتِّتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي الأَرَاضِي.

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

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: عِنْدَ نَهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَجْمَعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا بَيْنَهُمْ،

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 habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

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

It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

تَكُونُ أَحْقَرَ الْمَمَالِكِ فَلاَ تَرْتَفِعُ بَعْدُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، وَأُقَلِّلُهُمْ لِكَيْلاَ يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

فَلاَ تَكُونُ بَعْدُ مُعْتَمَدًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُذَكِّرَةَ الإِثْمِ بِانْصِرَافِهِمْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

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,

وَكَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ، فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلاَمَ الرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلاً:

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

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ اسْتَخْدَمَ جَيْشَهُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً عَلَى صُورَ. كُلُّ رَأْسٍ قَرِعَ، وَكُلُّ كَتِفٍ تَجَرَّدَتْ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ وَلاَ لِجَيْشِهِ أُجْرَةٌ مِنْ صُورَ لأَجْلِ خِدْمَتِهِ الَّتِي خَدَمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هأَنَذَا أَبْذُلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَأْخُذُ ثَرْوَتَهَا، وَيَغْنَمُ غَنِيمَتَهَا، وَيَنْهَبُ نَهْبَهَا فَتَكُونُ أُجْرَةً لِجَيْشِهِ.

I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لأَجْلِ شُغْلِهِ الَّذِي خَدَمَ بِهِ، لأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا لأَجْلِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

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

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أُنْبِتُ قَرْنًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَأَجْعَلُ لَكَ فَتْحَ الْفَمِ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
