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

1 In anno decimo, decimo mense, undecima die mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

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

2 Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et prophetabis de eo, et de Ægypto universa.

3 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.

3 Loquere, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego ad te, Pharao rex Ægypti, draco magne,
qui cubas in medio fluminum tuorum, et dicis:
Meus est fluvius, et ego feci memetipsum.

4 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.

4 Et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis,
et agglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis,
et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum,
et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adhærebunt.

5 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.

5 Et projiciam te in desertum,
et omnes pisces fluminis tui:
super faciem terræ cades;
non colligeris, neque congregaberis:
bestiis terræ et volatilibus cæli dedi te ad devorandum.

6 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.

6 Et scient omnes habitatores Ægypti quia ego Dominus,
pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus domui Israël:

7 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.

7 quando apprehenderunt te manu, et confractus es,
et lacerasti omnem humerum eorum:
et innitentibus eis super te comminutus es,
et dissolvisti omnes renes eorum.

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

8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego adducam super te gladium,
et interficiam de te hominem et jumentum.

9 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.

9 Et erit terra Ægypti in desertum et in solitudinem:
et scient quia ego Dominus,
pro eo quod dixeris: Fluvius meus est, et ego feci eum.

10 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.

10 Idcirco ecce ego ad te, et ad flumina tua:
daboque terram Ægypti in solitudines,
gladio dissipatam,
a turre Syenes usque ad terminos Æthiopiæ.

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

11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis,
neque pes jumenti gradietur in ea,
et non habitabitur quadraginta annis.

12 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.

12 Daboque terram Ægypti desertam in medio terrarum desertarum,
et civitates ejus in medio urbium subversarum,
et erunt desolatæ quadraginta annis:
et dispergam Ægyptios in nationes,
et ventilabo eos in terras.

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

13 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Post finem quadraginta annorum congregabo Ægyptum
de populis in quibus dispersi fuerant.

14 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.

14 Et reducam captivitatem Ægypti,
et collocabo eos in terra Phathures,
in terra nativitatis suæ,
et erunt ibi in regnum humile.

15 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.

15 Inter cetera regna erit humillima,
et non elevabitur ultra super nationes,
et imminuam eos ne imperent gentibus.

16 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.

16 Neque erunt ultra domui Israël in confidentia,
docentes iniquitatem ut fugiant, et sequantur eos:
et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.

17 ¶ 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,

17 ¶ Et factum est in vigesimo et septimo anno, in primo, in una mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

18 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:

18 ¶ Fili hominis, Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis
servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversum Tyrum:
omne caput decalvatum, et omnis humerus depilatus est:
et merces non est reddita ei, neque exercitui ejus, de Tyro,
pro servitute qua servivit mihi adversus eam.

19 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.

19 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in terra Ægypti:
et accipiet multitudinem ejus,
et deprædabitur manubias ejus,
et diripiet spolia ejus:
et erit merces exercitui illius,

20 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.

20 et operi quo servivit adversus eam:
dedi ei terram Ægypti pro eo quod laboraverit mihi,
ait Dominus Deus.

21 ¶ 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.

21 In die illo pullulabit cornu domui Israël,
et tibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum,
et scient quia ego Dominus.
