Judgment of Egypt

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the 12th day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

1 ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δεκάτῳ ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 1 ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δωδεκάτῳ, ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνί, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
1 In the 12th year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 1 In the 12th year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.

2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον ὅλην 2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον ὅλην
2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaō king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt. 2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaō king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt.

3 Speak, and say, Thus says Adonai Yahweh; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.

3 καὶ εἰπόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραὼ τὸν δράκοντα τὸν μέγαν τὸν ἐγκαθήμενον ἐν μέσῳ ποταμῶν αὐτοῦ τὸν λέγοντα ἐμοί εἰσιν οἱ ποταμοί, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς. 3 καὶ εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραώ, τὸν δράκοντα τὸν μέγαν τὸν ἐγκαθήμενον ἐν μέσῳ ποταμῶν αὐτοῦ, τὸν λέγοντα· ἐμοί εἰσιν οἱ ποταμοί, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς.
3 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharaō, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them. 3 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharaō, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.

4 But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.

4 καὶ ἐγὼ δώσω παγίδας εἰς τὰς σιαγόνας σου καὶ προσκολλήσω τοὺς ἰχθῦς τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου πρὸς τὰς πτέρυγάς σου καὶ ἀνάξω σὲ ἐκ μέσου τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου 4 καὶ ἐγὼ δώσω παγίδας εἰς τὰς σιαγόνας σου καὶ προσκολλήσω τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου πρὸς τὰς πτέρυγάς σου καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐκ μέσου τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου·
4 And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river. 4 And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river.

5 And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall on the open fields; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

5 καὶ καταβαλῶ σὲ ἐν τάχει καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου· ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου πεσῇ καὶ οὐ μὴ συναχθῇς καὶ οὐ μὴ περισταλῇς, τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς καὶ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ δέδωκά σὲ εἰς κατάβρωμα· 5 καὶ καταβαλῶ σε ἐν τάχει καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου· ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου πεσῇ, καὶ οὐ μὴ συναχθῇς καὶ οὐ μὴ περισταλῇς, τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς καὶ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ δέδωκά σε εἰς κατάβρωμα·
5 and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky. 5 and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israēl.

6 καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Αἴγυπτον ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγενήθης ῥάβδος καλαμίνη τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ. 6 καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Αἴγυπτον ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγενήθης ῥάβδος καλαμίνη τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
6 And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israēl. 6 And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israēl.

7 When they took hold of you by your hand, you did break, and tear all their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand.

7 ὅτε ἐπελάβοντό σου τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῶν, ἐθλάσθης· καὶ ὅτε ἐπεκράτησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς πᾶσα χεὶρ καὶ ὅτε ἐπανεπαύσαντο ἐπὶ σέ, συνετρίβης καὶ συνέκλασας αὐτῶν πᾶσαν ὀσφύν. 7 ὅτε ἐπελάβοντό σου τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῶν, ἐθλάσθης, καὶ ὅτε ἐπεκρότησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς πᾶσα χεὶρ καὶ ὅτε ἐπανεπαύσαντο ἐπὶ σέ, συνετρίβης καὶ συνέκλασας αὐτῶν πᾶσαν ὀσφύν.
7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break; and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all. 7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break; and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.

8 Therefore thus says Adonai Yahweh; Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and cut off man and beast out of you.

8 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀνθρώπους ἀπὸ σου καὶ κτήνη· 8 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη·
8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off from you man and beast; 8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off from you man and beast;

9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Yahweh: because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

9 καὶ ἔσται γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἀπώλεια καὶ ἔρημος, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν σὲ οἱ ποταμοὶ ἐμοί εἰσιν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς. 9 καὶ ἔσται γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἀπώλεια καὶ ἔρημος, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν σε· οἱ ποταμοὶ ἐμοί εἰσι, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς.
9 and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them. 9 and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.

10 Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.

10 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμούς σου καὶ δώσω γῆν Αἰγύπτου εἰς ἔρημον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπώλειαν ἀπὸ Μαγδώλου καὶ Συήνης καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰθιόπων. 10 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμούς σου καὶ δώσω γῆν Αἰγύπτου εἰς ἔρημον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπώλειαν ἀπὸ Μαγδώλου καὶ Συήνης καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰθιόπων.
10 Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians. 10 Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.

11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited 40 years.

11 οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ποὺς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ποὺς κτήνους οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτήν, καὶ οὐ κατοικηθήσεται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη. 11 οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ποὺς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ποὺς κτήνους οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτήν, καὶ οὐ κατοικηθήσεται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for 40 years. 11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for 40 years.

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 40 years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

12 καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς ἀπώλειαν ἐν μέσῳ γῆς ἠρημωμένης, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη· καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας. 12 καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς ἀπώλειαν ἐν μέσῳ γῆς ἠρημωμένης, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη· καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας.
12 And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be desolate 40 years in the midst of cities that are desolate; and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries. 12 And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be desolate 40 years in the midst of cities that are desolate; and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.

13 Yet thus says Adonai Yahweh; At the end of 40 years will I gather the Egyptians from the people to which they were scattered.

13 τάδε λέγει κύριος μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη συνάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ, 13 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη συνάξω Αἰγυπτίους ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ,
13 Thus says the Lord; After 40 years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered; 13 Thus says the Lord; After 40 years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;

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 καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ κατοικίσω αὐτοὺς ἐν γῇ Παθουρής, ἐν τῇ, γῇ ὅθεν ἐλήμφθησαν· καὶ ἔσται ἀρχὴ ταπεινὴ 14 καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ κατοικίσω αὐτοὺς ἐν γῇ Φαθωρῆς, ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅθεν ἐλήφθησαν· καὶ ἔσται ἀρχὴ ταπεινὴ
14 and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land from where they were taken; 14 and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land from where they were taken;

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 παρὰ πάσας τὰς ἀρχάς, οὐ μὴ ὑψωθῇ ἔτι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς αὐτοὺς ποιήσω τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτοὺς πλείονας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. 15 παρὰ πάσας τὰς ἀρχάς, οὐ μὴ ὑψωθῇ ἔτι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς αὐτοὺς ποιήσω τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτοὺς πλείονας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
15 and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all other kingdoms; it shall none more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be great among the nations. 15 and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all other kingdoms; it shall none more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be great among the nations.

16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israēl, which brings their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them; but they shall know that I am Adonai Yahweh.

16 καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἀναμιμνῄσκουσαν ἀνομίαν ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθῆσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος. 16 καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἀναμιμνήσκουσαν ἀνομίαν ἐν τῷ ἀκολουθῆσαι αὐτοὺς ὀπίσω αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israēl a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israēl a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

17 And it happened in the 27th year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

17 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 17 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
17 And it happened in the 27th year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 And it happened in the 27th year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

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 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος κατεδουλώσατο αὐτοῦ τὴν δύναμιν δουλείᾳ μεγάλῃ ἐπὶ Τύρου, πᾶσα κεφαλὴ φαλακρὰ καὶ πᾶς ὦμος μαδῶν, καὶ μισθὸς οὐκ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ καὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Τύρου καὶ τῆς δουλείας, ἧς ἐδούλευσαν ἐπ’ αὐτήν. 18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος κατεδουλώσατο τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ δουλείᾳ μεγάλῃ ἐπὶ Τύρου, πᾶσα κεφαλὴ φαλακρὰ καὶ πᾶς ὦμος μαδῶν, καὶ μισθὸς οὐκ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ καὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Τύρου καὶ τῆς δουλείας, ἧς ἐδούλευσαν ἐπ’ αὐτήν.
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army serving against Tyre, nor for the service which they served against it. 18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army serving against Tyre, nor for the service which they served against it.

19 Therefore thus says Adonai Yahweh; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to 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 τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος ἰδοὺ δίδωμι τῷ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος γῆν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται μισθὸς τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ· 19 τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι τῷ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος γῆν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται μισθὸς τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ·
19 Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder of it, and seize the spoils of it; and it shall be a reward for his army. 19 Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder of it, and seize the spoils of it; and it shall be a reward for his army.

20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour with which he served against it, because they wrought for me, says Adonai Yahweh.

20 ἀντὶ τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἐδούλευσεν ἐπὶ Τύρον, δέδωκα αὐτῷ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος
20 ἀντὶ τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἐδούλευσεν ἐπὶ Τύρον, δέδωκα αὐτῷ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος·
20 In return for his service which he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God. 20 In return for his service which he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God.

21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israēl to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

21 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνατελεῖ κέρας παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ σοί δώσω στόμα ἀνεῳγμένον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος. 21 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνατελεῖ κέρας παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ σοί δώσω στόμα ἀνεῳγμένον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
