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

1 וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2 Son of man, be a prophet, and say, These are the words of the Lord: Give a cry, Aha, for the day!

2 בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הִנָּבֵא֙ וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה הֵילִ֖ילוּ הָ֥הּ לַיֹּֽום׃

3 For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it will be the time of the nations.

3 כִּֽי־קָרֹ֣וב יֹ֔ום וְקָרֹ֥וב יֹ֖ום לַֽיהוָ֑ה יֹ֣ום עָנָ֔ן עֵ֥ת גֹּויִ֖ם יִֽהְיֶֽה׃

4 And a sword will come on Egypt, and cruel pain will be in Ethiopia, when they are falling by the sword in Egypt; and they will take away her wealth and her bases will be broken down.

4 וּבָאָ֥ה חֶ֙רֶב֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְהָיְתָ֤ה חַלְחָלָה֙ בְּכ֔וּשׁ בִּנְפֹ֥ל חָלָ֖ל בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְלָקְח֣וּ הֲמֹונָ֔הּ וְנֶהֶרְס֖וּ יְסֹודֹתֶֽיהָ׃

5 Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.

5 כּ֣וּשׁ וּפ֤וּט וְלוּד֙ וְכָל־הָעֶ֣רֶב וְכ֔וּב וּבְנֵ֖י אֶ֣רֶץ הַבְּרִ֑ית אִתָּ֖ם בַּחֶ֥רֶב יִפֹּֽלוּ׃

6 This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.

6 כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה וְנָֽפְלוּ֙ סֹמְכֵ֣י מִצְרַ֔יִם וְיָרַ֖ד גְּאֹ֣ון עֻזָּ֑הּ מִמִּגְדֹּ֣ל סְוֵנֵ֗ה בַּחֶ֙רֶב֙ יִפְּלוּ־בָ֔הּ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

7 And she will be made waste among the countries which have been made waste, and her towns will be among the towns which are unpeopled.

7 וְנָשַׁ֕מּוּ בְּתֹ֖וךְ אֲרָצֹ֣ות נְשַׁמֹּ֑ות וְעָרָ֕יו בְּתֹוךְ־עָרִ֥ים נַחֲרָבֹ֖ות תִּֽהְיֶֽינָה׃

8 And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have put a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken.

8 וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּתִתִּי־אֵ֣שׁ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁבְּר֖וּ כָּל־עֹזְרֶֽיהָ׃

9 In that day men will go out quickly to take the news, causing fear in untroubled Ethiopia; and bitter pain will come on them as in the day of Egypt; for see, it is coming.

9 בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא יֵצְא֨וּ מַלְאָכִ֤ים מִלְּפָנַי֙ בַּצִּ֔ים לְהַחֲרִ֖יד אֶת־כּ֣וּשׁ בֶּ֑טַח וְהָיְתָ֨ה חַלְחָלָ֤ה בָהֶם֙ בְּיֹ֣ום מִצְרַ֔יִם כִּ֥י הִנֵּ֖ה בָּאָֽה׃

10 This is what the Lord has said: I will put an end to great numbers of the people of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

10 כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ אֶת־הֲמֹ֣ון מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּיַ֖ד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֥ר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶֽל׃

11 He and the people with him, causing fear among the nations, will be sent for the destruction of the land; their swords will be let loose against Egypt and the land will be full of dead.

11 ה֠וּא וְעַמֹּ֤ו אִתֹּו֙ עָרִיצֵ֣י גֹויִ֔ם מֽוּבָאִ֖ים לְשַׁחֵ֣ת הָאָ֑רֶץ וְהֵרִ֤יקוּ חַרְבֹותָם֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם וּמָלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ חָלָֽל׃

12 And I will make the Nile streams dry, and will give the land into the hands of evil men, causing the land and everything in it to be wasted by the hands of men from a strange country: I the Lord have said it.

12 וְנָתַתִּ֤י יְאֹרִים֙ חָֽרָבָ֔ה וּמָכַרְתִּ֥י אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּיַד־רָעִ֑ים וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִ֞י אֶ֤רֶץ וּמְלֹאָהּ֙ בְּיַד־זָרִ֔ים אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבַּֽרְתִּי׃

13 This is what the Lord has said: In addition to this, I will give up the images to destruction and put an end to the false gods in Noph; never again will there be a ruler in the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

13 כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּ֨י גִלּוּלִ֜ים וְהִשְׁבַּתִּ֤י אֱלִילִים֙ מִנֹּ֔ף וְנָשִׂ֥יא מֵאֶֽרֶץ־מִצְרַ֖יִם לֹ֣א יִֽהְיֶה־עֹ֑וד וְנָתַתִּ֥י יִרְאָ֖ה בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

14 And I will make Pathros a waste, and put a fire in Zoan, and send my punishments on No.

14 וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי֙ אֶת־פַּתְרֹ֔וס וְנָתַ֥תִּי אֵ֖שׁ בְּצֹ֑עַן וְעָשִׂ֥יתִי שְׁפָטִ֖ים בְּנֹֽא׃

15 I will let loose my wrath on Sin, the strong place of Egypt, cutting off the mass of the people of No.

15 וְשָׁפַכְתִּ֣י חֲמָתִ֔י עַל־סִ֖ין מָעֹ֣וז מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהִכְרַתִּ֖י אֶת־הֲמֹ֥ון נֹֽא׃

16 And I will put a fire in Egypt; Syene will be twisting in pain, and No will be broken into, as by the onrush of waters.

16 וְנָתַ֤תִּי אֵשׁ֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם ח֤וּל תָּחִיל תָּחוּל֙ סִ֔ין וְנֹ֖א תִּהְיֶ֣ה לְהִבָּקֵ֑עַ וְנֹ֖ף צָרֵ֥י יֹומָֽם׃

17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will be put to the sword: and these towns will be taken away prisoners.

17 בַּח֥וּרֵי אָ֛וֶן וּפִי־בֶ֖סֶת בַּחֶ֣רֶב יִפֹּ֑לוּ וְהֵ֖נָּה בַּשְּׁבִ֥י תֵלַֽכְנָה׃

18 And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.

18 וּבִֽתְחַפְנְחֵס֙ חָשַׂ֣ךְ הַיֹּ֔ום בְּשִׁבְרִי־שָׁם֙ אֶת־מֹטֹ֣ות מִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁבַּת־בָּ֖הּ גְּאֹ֣ון עֻזָּ֑הּ הִ֚יא עָנָ֣ן יְכַסֶּ֔נָּה וּבְנֹותֶ֖יהָ בַּשְּׁבִ֥י תֵלַֽכְנָה׃

19 And I will send my punishments on Egypt: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

19 וְעָשִׂ֥יתִי שְׁפָטִ֖ים בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

20 Now in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

20 וַיְהִ֗י בְּאַחַ֤ת עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה בָּֽרִאשֹׁ֖ון בְּשִׁבְעָ֣ה לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

21 Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

21 בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם אֶת־זְרֹ֛ועַ פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם שָׁבָ֑רְתִּי וְהִנֵּ֣ה לֹֽא־חֻ֠בְּשָׁה לָתֵ֨ת רְפֻאֹ֜ות לָשׂ֥וּם חִתּ֛וּל לְחָבְשָׁ֥הּ לְחָזְקָ֖הּ לִתְפֹּ֥שׂ בֶּחָֽרֶב׃

22 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.

22 לָכֵ֞ן כֹּה־אָמַ֣ר׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה הִנְנִי֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֔יִם וְשָֽׁבַרְתִּי֙ אֶת־זְרֹ֣עֹתָ֔יו אֶת־הַחֲזָקָ֖ה וְאֶת־הַנִּשְׁבָּ֑רֶת וְהִפַּלְתִּ֥י אֶת־הַחֶ֖רֶב מִיָּדֹֽו׃

23 And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

23 וַהֲפִצֹותִ֥י אֶת־מִצְרַ֖יִם בַּגֹּויִ֑ם וְזֵרִיתִ֖ם בָּאֲרָצֹֽות׃

24 And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and will put my sword in his hand: but Pharaoh's arms will be broken, and he will give cries of pain before him like the cries of a man wounded to death.

24 וְחִזַּקְתִּ֗י אֶת־זְרֹעֹות֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־חַרְבִּ֖י בְּיָדֹ֑ו וְשָׁבַרְתִּי֙ אֶת־זְרֹעֹ֣ות פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְנָאַ֛ק נַאֲקֹ֥ות חָלָ֖ל לְפָנָֽיו׃

25 And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and the arms of Pharaoh will be hanging down; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and it is stretched out against the land of Egypt.

25 וְהַחֲזַקְתִּ֗י אֶת־זְרֹעֹות֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וּזְרֹעֹ֥ות פַּרְעֹ֖ה תִּפֹּ֑לְנָה וְֽיָדְע֞וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֗ה בְּתִתִּ֤י חַרְבִּי֙ בְּיַ֣ד מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֔ל וְנָטָ֥ה אֹותָ֖הּ אֶל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

26 And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

26 וַהֲפִצֹותִ֤י אֶת־מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ בַּגֹּויִ֔ם וְזֵרִיתִ֥י אֹותָ֖ם בָּאֲרָצֹ֑ות וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
