1
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר
And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying:
Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
בֶּן־אָדָם הִנָּבֵא וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הֵילִילוּ הָהּ לַיּוֹם
'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: wail ye: Woe worth the day!
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον, καὶ εἰπὸν τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ὢ ὢ ἡμέρα,
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!
3
כִּי־קָרוֹב יוֹם וְקָרוֹב יוֹם לַיהוָה יוֹם עָנָן עֵת גּוֹיִם יִהְיֶה
For the day is near, even the day of HaShem is near, a day of clouds, it shall be the time of the nations.
ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου, ἡμέρα πέρας ἐθνῶν ἔσται·
For the day of the Lord is nigh, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.
4
וּבָאָה חֶרֶב בְּמִצְרַיִם וְהָיְתָה חַלְחָלָה בְּכוּשׁ בִּנְפֹל חָלָל בְּמִצְרָיִם וְלָקְחוּ הֲמוֹנָהּ וְנֶהֶרְסוּ יְסוֹדֹתֶיהָ
And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and convulsion shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her abundance, and her foundation shall be broken down.
Καὶ ἥξει μάχαιρα ἐπʼ Αἰγυπτίους, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν γῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ, καὶ συμπεσοῦνται τετραυματισμένοι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ συμπεσεῖται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς.
And a sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.
5
כּוּשׁ וּפוּט וְלוּד וְכָל־הָעֶרֶב וְכוּב וּבְנֵי אֶרֶץ הַבְּרִית אִתָּם בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ
Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Πέρσαι, καὶ Κρῆτες, καὶ Λυδοὶ, καὶ Λίβυες, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐπίμικτοι καὶ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς διαθήκης μου, μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ.
Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.
6
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה וְנָפְלוּ סֹמְכֵי מִצְרַיִם וְיָרַד גְּאוֹן עֻזָּהּ מִמִּגְדֹּל סְוֵנֵה בַּחֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ־בָהּ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה
Thus saith HaShem: they also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the L-rd GOD.
Καὶ πεσοῦνται τὰ ἀντιστηρίγματα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ καταβήσεται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς ἀπὸ Μαγδωλοῦ ἕως Συήνης, μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει Κύριος.
And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Migdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, saith the Lord.
7
וְנָשַׁמּוּ בְּתוֹךְ אֲרָצוֹת נְשַׁמּוֹת וְעָרָיו בְּתוֹךְ־עָרִים נַחֲרָבוֹת תִּהְיֶינָה
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.
Καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ χωρῶν ἐρημωμένων, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται,
And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of the desolate cities:
8
וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה בְּתִתִּי־אֵשׁ בְּמִצְרַיִם וְנִשְׁבְּרוּ כָּל־עֹזְרֶיהָ
And they shall know that I am HaShem, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ὅταν δῶ πῦρ ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ συντριβῶσι πάντες οἱ βοηθοῦντες αὐτῇ.
and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.
9
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יֵצְאוּ מַלְאָכִים מִלְּפָנַי בַּצִּים לְהַחֲרִיד אֶת־כּוּשׁ בֶּטַח וְהָיְתָה חַלְחָלָה בָהֶם בְּיוֹם מִצְרַיִם כִּי הִנֵּה בָּאָה
In that day shall messengers go forth from before Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid; and there shall come convulsion upon them in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.
Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξελεύσονται ἄγγελοι σπεύδοντες ἀφανίσαι τὴν Αἰθιοπίαν, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἥκει.
In that day shall messengers go forth hastening to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold, it comes.
10
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי אֶת־הֲמוֹן מִצְרַיִם בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ ἀπολῶ πλῆθος Αἰγυπτίων διὰ χειρὸς Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος,
Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
11
הוּא וְעַמּוֹ אִתּוֹ עָרִיצֵי גוֹיִם מוּבָאִים לְשַׁחֵת הָאָרֶץ וְהֵרִיקוּ חַרְבוֹתָם עַל־מִצְרַיִם וּמָלְאוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ חָלָל
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, λοιμοὶ ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπολέσαι γῆν· καὶ ἐκκενώσουσι πάντες τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ γῆ τραυματιῶν,
his [hand] and his people’s; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.
12
וְנָתַתִּי יְאֹרִים חָרָבָה וּמָכַרְתִּי אֶת־הָאָרֶץ בְּיַד־רָעִים וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי אֶרֶץ וּמְלֹאָהּ בְּיַד־זָרִים אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי
And I will make the rivers dry, and will give the land over into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers; I HaShem have spoken it.
καὶ δώσω τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐρήμους, καὶ ἀπολῶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἐν χερσὶν ἀλλοτρίων, ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fullness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.
13
כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי גִלּוּלִים וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי אֱלִילִים מִנֹּף וְנָשִׂיא מֵאֶרֶץ־מִצְרַיִם לֹא יִהְיֶה־עוֹד וְנָתַתִּי יִרְאָה בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the things of nought to cease from Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ ἀπολῶ μεγιστᾶνας ἀπὸ Μέμφεως, καὶ ἄρχοντας Μέμφεως ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται ἔτι.
For thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.
14
וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי אֶת־פַּתְרוֹס וְנָתַתִּי אֵשׁ בְּצֹעַן וְעָשִׂיתִי שְׁפָטִים בְּנֹא
And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
Καὶ ἀπολῶ γῆν Φαθωρῆς, καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπὶ Τάνιν, καὶ ποιήσω ἐκδίκησιν ἐν Διοσπόλει.
And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.
15
וְשָׁפַכְתִּי חֲמָתִי עַל־סִין מָעוֹז מִצְרָיִם וְהִכְרַתִּי אֶת־הֲמוֹן נֹא
And I will pour My fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ Σαὶν τὴν ἰσχὺν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸ πλῆθος Μέμφεως,
And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.
16
וְנָתַתִּי אֵשׁ בְּמִצְרַיִם חוּל תחיל תָּחוּל סִין וְנֹא תִּהְיֶה לְהִבָּקֵעַ וְנֹף צָרֵי יוֹמָם
And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great convulsion, and No shall be rent asunder; and in Noph shall come adversaries in the day-time.
καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ταραχῇ ταραχθήσεται ἡ Συήνη, καὶ ἐν Διοσπόλει ἔσται ἔκρηγμα, καὶ διαχυθήσεται ὕδατα.
And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.
17
בַּחוּרֵי אָוֶן וּפִי־בֶסֶת בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וְהֵנָּה בַּשְּׁבִי תֵלַכְנָה
The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
Νεανίσκοι Ἡλιουπόλεως καὶ Βουβάστου ἐν μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.
18
וּבִתְחַפְנְחֵס חָשַׂךְ הַיּוֹם בְּשִׁבְרִי־שָׁם אֶת־מֹטוֹת מִצְרַיִם וְנִשְׁבַּת־בָּהּ גְּאוֹן עֻזָּהּ הִיא עָנָן יְכַסֶּנָּה וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ בַּשְּׁבִי תֵלַכְנָה
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
καὶ ἐν Τάφναις συσκοτάσει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν τῷ συντρίψαι με ἐκεῖ τὰ σκῆπτρα Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἐκεῖ ἡ ὕβρις ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, καὶ ταύτην νεφέλη καλύψει, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς αἰχμάλωτοι ἀρθήσονται.
And the day shall be darkened in Tehaphnehes, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.
19
וְעָשִׂיתִי שְׁפָטִים בְּמִצְרָיִם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה
Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I am HaShem.'
Καὶ ποιήσω κρίμα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰμι Κύριος.
And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
20
וַיְהִי בְּאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה בָּרִאשׁוֹן בְּשִׁבְעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of HaShem came unto me, saying:
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ, ἑβδόμῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21
בֶּן־אָדָם אֶת־זְרוֹעַ פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרַיִם שָׁבָרְתִּי וְהִנֵּה לֹא־חֻבְּשָׁה לָתֵת רְפֻאוֹת לָשׂוּם חִתּוּל לְחָבְשָׁהּ לְחָזְקָהּ לִתְפֹּשׂ בֶּחָרֶב
'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to be healed, to put a roller, that it be bound up and wax strong, that it hold the sword.
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τοὺς βραχίονας Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου συνέτριψα, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ κατεδεήθη τοῦ δοθῆναι ἴασιν, τοῦ δοθῆναι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν μάλαγμα, τοῦ δοθῆναι ἰσχὺν ἐπιλαβέσθαι μαχαίρας.
Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.
22
לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה הִנְנִי אֶל־פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרַיִם וְשָׁבַרְתִּי אֶת־זְרֹעֹתָיו אֶת־הַחֲזָקָה וְאֶת־הַנִּשְׁבָּרֶת וְהִפַּלְתִּי אֶת־הַחֶרֶב מִיָּדוֹ
Therefore thus saith the L-rd 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.
Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ συντρίψω τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἰσχυροὺς, καὶ τοὺς τεταμένους, καὶ καταβαλῶ τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ,
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will smite down his sword out of his hand.
23
וַהֲפִצוֹתִי אֶת־מִצְרַיִם בַּגּוֹיִם וְזֵרִיתִם בָּאֲרָצוֹת
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας.
And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.
24
וְחִזַּקְתִּי אֶת־זְרֹעוֹת מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְנָתַתִּי אֶת־חַרְבִּי בְּיָדוֹ וְשָׁבַרְתִּי אֶת־זְרֹעוֹת פַּרְעֹה וְנָאַק נַאֲקוֹת חָלָל לְפָנָיו
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put My sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
Καὶ κατισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ δώσω τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάξει αὐτὴν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.
25
וְהַחֲזַקְתִּי אֶת־זְרֹעוֹת מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וּזְרֹעוֹת פַּרְעֹה תִּפֹּלְנָה וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה בְּתִתִּי חַרְבִּי בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וְנָטָה אוֹתָהּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם
And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am HaShem, 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.
Καὶ ἐνισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, οἱ δὲ βραχίονες Φαραὼ πεσοῦνται· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ δοῦναι τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκτενεῖ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
Yea, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.
26
וַהֲפִצוֹתִי אֶת־מִצְרַיִם בַּגּוֹיִם וְזֵרִיתִי אוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצוֹת וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am HaShem.'
Καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
