1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!

2 Fili hominis, propheta, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ululate: Væ, væ diei!

3 For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

3 quia juxta est dies,
et appropinquat dies Domini, dies nubis:
tempus gentium erit.

4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

4 Et veniet gladius in Ægyptum,
et erit pavor in Æthiopia,
cum ceciderint vulnerati in Ægypto,
et ablata fuerit multitudo illius,
et destructa fundamenta ejus.

5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

5 Æthiopia, et Libya, et Lydi,
et omne reliquum vulgus,
et Chub, et filii terræ fœderis,
cum eis gladio cadent.

6 Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God.

6 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Et corruent fulcientes Ægyptum,
et destruetur superbia imperii ejus:
a turre Syenes gladio cadent in ea,
ait Dominus Deus exercituum.

7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

7 Et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum,
et urbes ejus in medio civitatum desertarum erunt:

8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

8 et scient quia ego Dominus,
cum dedero ignem in Ægypto,
et attriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores ejus.

9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

9 In die illa egredientur nuntii a facie mea in trieribus
ad conterendam Æthiopiæ confidentiam:
et erit pavor in eis in die Ægypti,
quia absque dubio veniet.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

10 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Cessare faciam multitudinem Ægypti
in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.

11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

11 Ipse et populus ejus cum eo, fortissimi gentium,
adducentur ad disperdendam terram:
et evaginabunt gladios suos super Ægyptum,
et implebunt terram interfectis.

12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it.

12 Et faciam alveos fluminum aridos,
et tradam terram in manus pessimorum:
et dissipabo terram et plenitudinem ejus
manu alienorum:
ego Dominus locutus sum.

13 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Et disperdam simulacra,
et cessare faciam idola de Memphis:
et dux de terra Ægypti non erit amplius,
et dabo terrorem in terra Ægypti.

14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

14 Et disperdam terram Phathures,
et dabo ignem in Taphnis,
et faciam judicia in Alexandria.

15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

15 Et effundam indignationem meam super Pelusium, robur Ægypti,
et interficiam multitudinem Alexandriæ.

16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.

16 Et dabo ignem in Ægypto:
quasi parturiens dolebit Pelusium,
et Alexandria erit dissipata,
et in Memphis angustiæ quotidianæ.

17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.

17 Juvenes Heliopoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent,
et ipsæ captivæ ducentur.

18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

18 Et in Taphnis nigrescet dies,
cum contrivero ibi sceptra Ægypti,
et defecerit in ea superbia potentiæ ejus:
ipsam nubes operiet,
filiæ autem ejus in captivitatem ducentur.

19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

19 Et judicia faciam in Ægypto:
et scient quia ego Dominus.

20 ¶ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

20 ¶ Et factum est in undecimo anno, in primo mense, in septima mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

21 ¶ Fili hominis, brachium Pharaonis regis Ægypti confregi,
et ecce non est obvolutum ut restitueretur ei sanitas,
ut ligaretur pannis, et fasciaretur linteolis,
ut recepto robore posset tenere gladium.

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

22 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti,
et comminuam brachium ejus forte, sed confractum:
et dejiciam gladium de manu ejus,

23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

23 et dispergam Ægyptum in gentibus,
et ventilabo eos in terris.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

24 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis,
daboque gladium meum in manu ejus,
et confringam brachia Pharaonis,
et gement gemitibus interfecti coram facie ejus.

25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

25 Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis,
et brachia Pharaonis concident:
et scient quia ego Dominus,
cum dedero gladium meum in manu regis Babylonis,
et extenderit eum super terram Ægypti.

26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

26 Et dispergam Ægyptum in nationes,
et ventilabo eos in terras:
et scient quia ego Dominus.
