1. In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,
|
1. In the tenth H6224 year H8141 , in the tenth H6224 month , in the twelfth H8147 H6240 day of the month H2320 , the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. `Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt -- all of it.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H5921 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and prophesy H5012 against H5921 him , and against H5921 all H3605 Egypt H4714 :
|
|
3. Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My flood is my own, And I -- I have made it for myself.
|
3. Speak H1696 , and say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 thee, Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , the great H1419 dragon H8577 that lieth H7257 in the midst H8432 of his rivers H2975 , which H834 hath said H559 , My river H2975 is mine own , and I H589 have made H6213 it for myself.
|
|
4. And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of thy floods to thy scales doth cleave.
|
4. But I will put H5414 hooks H2397 in thy jaws H3895 , and I will cause the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 to stick H1692 unto thy scales H7193 , and I will bring thee up H5927 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of thy rivers H2975 , and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 shall stick H1692 unto thy scales H7193 .
|
|
5. And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food.
|
5. And I will leave H5203 thee thrown into the wilderness H4057 , thee and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 : thou shalt fall H5307 upon H5921 the open H6440 fields H7704 ; thou shalt not H3808 be brought together H622 , nor H3808 gathered H6908 : I have given H5414 thee for meat H402 to the beasts H2416 of the field H776 and to the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 .
|
|
6. And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I am Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
|
6. And all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Egypt H4714 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , because H3282 they have been H1961 a staff H4938 of reed H7070 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
7. In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, -- thou art crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their thighs to stand.
|
7. When they took hold H8610 of thee by thy hand H3709 , thou didst break H7533 , and rend H1234 all H3605 their shoulder H3802 : and when they leaned H8172 upon H5921 thee , thou didst broke H7665 , and madest all H3605 their loins H4975 to be at a stand H5976 .
|
|
8. Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and beast.
|
8. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 a sword H2719 upon H5921 thee , and cut off H3772 man H120 and beast H929 out of H4480 thee.
|
|
9. And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I am Jehovah. Because he said: The flood is mine, and I made it.
|
9. And the land H776 of Egypt H4714 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 and waste H2723 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 : because H3282 he hath said H559 , The river H2975 is mine , and I H589 have made H6213 it .
|
|
10. Therefore, lo, I am against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.
|
10. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I am against H413 thee , and against H413 thy rivers H2975 , and I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 utterly waste H2723 H2721 and desolate H8077 , from the tower H4480 H4024 of Syene H5482 even unto H5704 the border H1366 of Ethiopia H3568 .
|
|
11. Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.
|
11. No H3808 foot H7272 of man H120 shall pass H5674 through it, nor H3808 foot H7272 of beast H929 shall pass H5674 through it, neither H3808 shall it be inhabited H3427 forty H705 years H8141 .
|
|
12. And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.
|
12. And I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate H8077 in the midst H8432 of the countries H776 that are desolate H8074 , and her cities H5892 among H8432 the cities H5892 that are laid waste H2717 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 forty H705 years H8141 : and I will scatter H6327 H853 the Egyptians H4714 among the nations H1471 , and will disperse H2219 them through the countries H776 .
|
|
13. But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,
|
13. Yet H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; At the end H4480 H7093 of forty H705 years H8141 will I gather H6908 H853 the Egyptians H4714 from H4480 the people H5971 whither H834 H8033 they were scattered H6327 :
|
|
14. And I have turned back to the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back To the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom.
|
14. And I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Egypt H4714 , and will cause them to return H7725 into the land H776 of Pathros H6624 , into H5921 the land H776 of their habitation H4351 ; and they shall be H1961 there H8033 a base H8217 kingdom H4467 .
|
|
15. Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.
|
15. It shall be H1961 the basest H8217 of H4480 the kingdoms H4467 ; neither H3808 shall it exalt itself H5375 any more H5750 above H5921 the nations H1471 : for I will diminish H4591 them , that they shall no more H1115 rule H7287 over the nations H1471 .
|
|
16. And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I am the Lord Jehovah.`
|
16. And it shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 the confidence H4009 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance H2142 H5771 , when they shall look H6437 after H310 them : but they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
17. And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first month, in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:
|
17. And it came to pass H1961 in the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 year H8141 , in the first H7223 month , in the first H259 day of the month H2320 , the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
18. `Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head is bald -- every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.
|
18. Son H1121 of man H120 , Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 caused H853 his army H2428 to serve H5647 a great H1419 service H5656 against H413 Tyrus H6865 : every H3605 head H7218 was made bald H7139 , and every H3605 shoulder H3802 was peeled H4803 : yet had H1961 he no H3808 wages H7939 , nor his army H2428 , for Tyrus H4480 H6865 , for H5921 the service H5656 that H834 he had served H5647 against H5921 it:
|
|
19. Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it hath been a reward to his force.
|
19. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will give H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 unto Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 ; and he shall take H5375 her multitude H1995 , and take H7997 her spoil H7998 , and take H962 her prey H957 ; and it shall be H1961 the wages H7939 for his army H2428 .
|
|
20. His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The land of Egypt -- in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
|
20. I have given H5414 him H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for his labor H6468 wherewith H834 he served H5647 against it, because H834 they wrought H6213 for me, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
21. In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I am Jehovah!`
|
21. In that H1931 day H3117 will I cause the horn H7161 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to bud forth H6779 , and I will give H5414 thee the opening H6610 of the mouth H6310 in the midst H8432 of them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
