Ezekiel 29

bashanah ha'asirit ba'asiri bishnem asar lakhodesh hayah devar-Adonai elay lemor

In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam sim panekha al-paroh melekh mitsrayim vehinnave alayw ve'al-mitsrayim kullah

O mortal, turn your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

dabber ve'amarta koh-amar adonay Elohim hinni alekha paroh melekh-mitsrayim hattannim haggadol harovets betokh ye'orayw asher amar li ye'ori va'ani asitini

Speak these words: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: I am going to deal with you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, Mighty monster, sprawling in your channels, Who said, My Nile is my own; I made it for myself.

venatatti (khkhyym) [khakhim] bilkhayekha vehidbaqti degat-ye'orekha beqasqesotekha veha'alitikha mittokh ye'orekha ve'et kol-degat ye'orekha beqasqesotekha tidbaq

I will put hooks in your jaws, And make the fish of your channels Cling to your scales; I will haul you up from your channels, With all the fish of your channels Clinging to your scales.

unetashtikha hammidbarah otekha ve'et kol-degat ye'orekha al-pene hassadeh tippol lo te'asef velo tiqqavets lekhayyat ha'arets ule'of hashamayim netattikha le'okhlah

And I will fling you into the desert, With all the fish of your channels. You shall be left lying in the open, Ungathered and unburied: I have given you as food To the beasts of the earth And the birds of the sky.

veyade'u kol-yosheve mitsrayim ki ani Adonai ya'an heyotam mishenet qaneh levet yisra'el

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know That I am GOD. Because you were a staff of reed To the House of Israel:

betofsam bekha (vkhfkh) [vakkaf] terots uvaqata lahem kol-katef uvehisha'anam alekha tishaver veha'amadta lahem kol-motnayim

When they grasped you with the hand, you would splinter, And wound all their shoulders, And when they leaned on you, you would break, And make all their loins unsteady.

lakhen koh amar adonay Elohim hinni mevi alayikh kharev vehikhratti mimmekh adam uvehemah

Assuredly, thus said the Sovereign GOD: Lo, I will bring a sword against you, and will cut off human and animal from you,

vehayetah erets-mitsrayim lishmamah vekhorbah veyade'u ki-ani Adonai ya'an amar ye'or li va'ani asiti

so that the land of Egypt shall fall into desolation and ruin. And they shall know that I am GOD—because he boasted, “The Nile is mine, and I made it.”

lakhen hinni elekha ve'el-ye'orekha venatatti et-erets mitsrayim lekhorvot khorev shemamah mimmigdol seveneh ve'ad-gevul kush

Assuredly, I am going to deal with you and your channels, and I will reduce the land of Egypt to utter ruin and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, all the way to the border of Cush.

lo ta'avor-bah regel adam veregel behemah lo ta'avor-bah velo teshev arba'im shanah

No human foot shall traverse it, and no animal foot shall traverse it; and it shall remain uninhabited for forty years.

venatatti et-erets mitsrayim shemamah betokh aratsot neshammot ve'areha betokh arim mokhoravot tihyena shemamah arba'im shanah vahafitsoti et-mitsrayim baggoyim vezeritim ba'aratsot

For forty years I will make the land of Egypt the most desolate of desolate lands, and its cities shall be the most desolate of ruined cities. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.

ki koh amar adonay Elohim miqqets arba'im shanah aqabbets et-mitsrayim min-ha'ammim asher-nafotsu shammah

Further, thus said the Sovereign GOD: After a period of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were dispersed.

veshavti et-shevut mitsrayim vahashivoti otam erets patros al-erets mekhuratam vehayu sham mamlakhah shefalah

I will restore the fortunes of the Egyptians and bring them back to the land of their origin, the land of Pathros, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.

min-hammamlakhot tihyeh shefalah velo-titnasse od al-haggoyim vehimattim levilti redot baggoyim

It shall be the lowliest of all the kingdoms, and shall not lord it over the nations again. I will reduce the Egyptians, so that they shall have no dominion over the nations.

velo yihyeh-od levet yisra'el lemivtakh mazkir avon bifnotam akharehem veyade'u ki ani adonay Elohim

Never again shall they be the trust of the House of Israel, recalling its guilt in having turned to them. And they shall know that I am the Sovereign GOD.

vayehi be'esrim vasheva shanah barishon be'ekhad lakhodesh hayah devar-Adonai elay lemor

In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam nevukhadretsar melekh-bavel he'evid et-khelo avodah gedolah el-tsor kol-rosh muqrakh vekhol-katef merutah vesakhar lo-hayah lo ulekhelo mitsor al-ha'avodah asher-avad aleha

O mortal, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon has made his army expend vast labor on Tyre; every head is rubbed bald and every shoulder scraped. But he and his army have had no return for the labor he expended on Tyre.

lakhen koh amar adonay Elohim hinni noten linvukhadretsar melekh-bavel et-erets mitsrayim venasa hamonah veshalal shelalah uvazaz bizzah vehayetah sakhar lekhelo

Assuredly, thus said the Sovereign GOD: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon. He shall carry off her wealth and take her spoil and seize her booty; and she shall be the recompense of his army.

pe'ullato asher-avad bah natatti lo et-erets mitsrayim asher asu li ne'um adonay Elohim

As the wage for which he labored, for what they did for Me, I give him the land of Egypt—declares the Sovereign GOD.

bayyom hahu atsmiakh qeren levet yisra'el ulekha etten pitkhon-peh betokham veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

On that day I will endow the House of Israel with strength, and you shall be vindicated among them. And they shall know that I am GOD.
