Ezekiel 30

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’

2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَلْوِلُوا قَائِلِينَ: يَا لَلْيَوْمِ الرَّهِيبِ!

3 For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

3 إِنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً؛ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ، إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُكْفَهِرٌّ بِالْغُيُومِ، سَاعَةُ دَيْنُونَةٍ لِلأُمَمِ،

4 A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.

4 إِذْ يُجَرَّدُ سَيْفٌ عَلَى مِصْرَ، فَيَعُمُّ الذُّعْرُ الشَّدِيدُ كُوشَ، عِنْدَمَا يَتَهَاوَى قَتْلَى مِصْرَ وَيُسْتَوْلَى عَلَى ثَرْوَتِهَا، وَتُنْقَضُ أُسُسُهَا.

5 Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various peoples, as well as Libya and the men of the covenant land, will fall with Egypt by the sword.

5 ثُمَّ تَسْقُطُ مَعَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ كُوشُ وَفُوطُ وَلُودُ وَشِبْهُ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَلِيبِيَا وَشُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ الْمُتَحَالِفَةِ مَعَهُمْ.

6 For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Lord GOD.

6 حَقّاً يَسْقُطُ مُنَاصِرُ مِصْرَ وَتُذَلُّ كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا، فَيَتَهَاوَى بِالسَّيْفِ سُكَّانُهَا مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.

7 فَتُصْبِحُ أَكْثَرَ الأَرَاضِي الْمُقْفِرَةِ وَحْشَةً، وَتَضْحَى مُدُنُهَا أَكْثَرَ الْمُدُنِ خَرَاباً!

8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.

8 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي مِصْرَ وَيَنْهَارُ جَمِيعُ حُلَفَائِهَا.

9 On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.

9 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُسْرِعُ رُسُلِي إِلَى كُوشَ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةِ لِيُثِيرُوا فِيهَا الرُّعْبَ فِي يَوْمِ هَلاكِ مِصْرَ، الَّذِي لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ.

10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

10 لأَنِّي سَأُفْنِي جَمَاهِيرَ مِصْرَ بِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.

11 إِذْ يُقْبِلُ هُوَ وَجَيْشُهُ، أَعْتَى جُيُوشِ الأُمَمِ، لِخَرَابِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَيُجَرِّدُونَ عَلَيْهَا سُيُوفَهُمْ وَيَمْلأُونَ أَرْضَهَا بِالْقَتْلَى.

12 I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it. I, the LORD, have spoken.

12 وَأُجَفِّفُ مَجَارِي نَهْرِ النِّيلِ، وَأَبِيعُ الأَرْضَ لِقَوْمٍ أَشْرَارٍ، وَأُخَرِّبُ الْبِلادَ فِيهَا بِيَدِ غُرَبَاءَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَضَيْتُ.

13 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.

13 ثُمَّ أُحَطِّمُ الأَصْنَامَ وَأُزِيلُ الأَوْثَانَ مِنْ مَمْفِيسَ، وَلا يَبْقَى بَعْدُ رَئِيسٌ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَأُلْقِي فِيهَا الرُّعْبَ.

14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.

14 وَأُخَرِّبُ فَتْرُوسَ، وَأُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي صُوعَنَ، وَأُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي طِيبَةَ.

15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

15 وَأَصُبُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى سِينَ حِصْنِ مِصْرَ، وَأُبِيدُ أَهْلَ طِيبَةَ.

16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.

16 وَأُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي مِصْرَ فَتُقَاسِي سِينُ أَشَدَّ الأَلَمِ، وَتَتَمَزَّقُ طِيبَةُ شَرَّ تَمْزِيقٍ، وَتَتَعَرَّضُ مَمْفِيسُ لِلرُّعْبِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.

17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.

17 وَيَتَسَاقَطُ بِالسَّيْفِ شُبَّانُ آوَنَ وَفِيبِسْتَةَ، وَيُسْبَى بَقِيَّةُ سُكَّانِهَا

18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

18 وَيُظْلِمُ النَّهَارُ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ عِنْدَمَا أُحَطِّمُ أَنْيَارَ مِصْرَ هُنَاكَ، وَتَتَلاشَى كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا. أَمَّا هِيَ فَتَغْشَاهَا سَحَابَةٌ، وَتُسْبَى بَنَاتُهَا.

19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

19 وَهَكَذَا أُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي مِصْرَ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

20 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ الْعِبْرِيِّ (أَيْ آذَارَ – مَارِسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ (مِنْ سَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاكِينَ)، أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.

21 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنِّي حَطَّمْتُ ذِرَاعَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَلَنْ تُجْبَرَ بِالرَّفَائِدِ أَوِ الْعَصَائِبِ، فَتُجَرِّدُ سَيْفاً،

22 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.

22 وَهَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَأُحَطِّمُ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، السَّلِيمَةَ وَالْمَكْسُورَةَ، وَأُسْقِطُ السَّيْفَ مِنْ يَدِهِ.

23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

23 وَأُشَتِّتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُفَرِّقُهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ.

24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.

24 وَأُشَدِّدُ ذِرَاعَيْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَأَضَعُ سَيْفِي فِي يَدِهِ، وَأُحَطِّمُ ذِرَاعَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَيَئِنُّ أَمَامَهُ أَنِينَ الْجَرِيحِ.

25 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.

25 وَأُشَدِّدُ ذِرَاعَيْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ. أَمَّا ذِرَاعَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَتَهَاوَيَانِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَضَعُ سَيْفِي فِي يَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيُجَرِّدُهُ عَلَى دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

26 وَأُبَدِّدُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُمَزِّقُهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
