| [1]בַּשָּׁנָה הָעֲשִׂירִית בָּעֲשִׂרִי בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
[1]In the tenth year, and in the tenth month in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, |
| [2]בֶּן־אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ עַל־פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ מִצְרָיִם וְהִנָּבֵא עָלָיו וְעַל־מִצְרַיִם כֻּלָּהּ׃ |
[2]Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt. |
| [3]דַּבֵּר וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי עָלֶיךָ פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרַיִם הַתַּנִּים הַגָּדֹול הָרֹבֵץ בְּתֹוךְ יְאֹרָיו אֲשֶׁר אָמַר לִי יְאֹרִי וַאֲנִי עֲשִׂיתִנִי׃ |
[3]Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon, that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it for myself. |
| [4]וְנָתַתִּי חַחִיִּים [Q: חַחִים] בִּלְחָיֶיךָ וְהִדְבַּקְתִּי דְגַת־יְאֹרֶיךָ בְּקַשְׂקְשֹׂתֶיךָ וְהַעֲלִיתִיךָ מִתֹּוךְ יְאֹרֶיךָ וְאֵת כָּל־דְּגַת יְאֹרֶיךָ בְּקַשְׂקְשֹׂתֶיךָ תִּדְבָּק׃ |
[4]But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. |
| [5]וּנְטַשְׁתִּיךָ הַמִּדְבָּרָה אֹותְךָ וְאֵת כָּל־דְּגַת יְאֹרֶיךָ עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה תִּפֹּול לֹא תֵאָסֵף וְלֹא תִקָּבֵץ לְחַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וּלְעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם נְתַתִּיךָ לְאָכְלָה׃ |
[5]And I will leave thee in the wilderness, both thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the fowls of the heaven. |
| [6]וְיָדְעוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי מִצְרַיִם כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה יַעַן הֱיֹותָם מִשְׁעֶנֶת קָנֶה לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[6]And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. |
| [7]בְּתָפְשָׂם בְּךָ בַכַּפך [Q: בַכַּף] תֵּרֹוץ וּבָקַעְתָּ לָהֶם כָּל־כָּתֵף וּבְהִשָּׁעֲנָם עָלֶיךָ תִּשָּׁבֵר וְהַעֲמַדְתָּ לָהֶם כָּל־מָתְנָיִם׃ |
[7]When they took hold of thee with their hand, thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou breakest and madest all their loins to stand upright. |
| [8]לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי מֵבִיא עָלַיִךְ חָרֶב וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֵּךְ אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה׃ |
[8]Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and destroy man and beast out of thee, |
| [9]וְהָיְתָה אֶרֶץ־מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁמָמָה וְחָרְבָּה וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה יַעַן אָמַר יְאֹר לִי וַאֲנִי עָשִׂיתִי׃ |
[9]And the land of Egypt shall be desolate, and waste, and they shall know that I am the Lord: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it, |
| [10]לָכֵן הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ וְאֶל־יְאֹרֶיךָ וְנָתַתִּי אֶת־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לְחָרְבֹות חֹרֶב שְׁמָמָה מִמִּגְדֹּל סְוֵנֵה וְעַד־גְּבוּל כּוּשׁ׃ |
[10]Behold, therefore I come upon thee, and upon thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the tower of Syene, even unto the borders of the black Moors [Ethiopians]. |
| [11]לֹא תַעֲבָר־בָּהּ רֶגֶל אָדָם וְרֶגֶל בְּהֵמָה לֹא תַעֲבָר־בָּהּ וְלֹא תֵשֵׁב אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה׃ |
[11]No foot of man shall pass by it, nor foot of beast shall pass by it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. |
| [12]וְנָתַתִּי אֶת־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם שְׁמָמָה בְּתֹוךְ אֲרָצֹות נְשַׁמֹּות וְעָרֶיהָ בְּתֹוךְ עָרִים מָחֳרָבֹות תִּהְיֶיןָ שְׁמָמָה אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וַהֲפִצֹתִי אֶת־מִצְרַיִם בַּגֹּויִם וְזֵרִיתִים בָּאֲרָצֹות׃ |
[12]And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. |
| [13]כִּי כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה אֲקַבֵּץ אֶת־מִצְרַיִם מִן־הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר־נָפֹצוּ שָׁמָּה׃ |
[13]Yet thus saith the Lord God, At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered, |
| [14]וְשַׁבְתִּי אֶת־שְׁבוּת מִצְרַיִם וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי אֹתָם אֶרֶץ פַּתְרֹוס עַל־אֶרֶץ מְכוּרָתָם וְהָיוּ שָׁם מַמְלָכָה שְׁפָלָה׃ |
[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 small kingdom. |
| [15]מִן־הַמַּמְלָכֹות תִּהְיֶה שְׁפָלָה וְלֹא־תִתְנַשֵּׂא עֹוד עַל־הַגֹּויִם וְהִמְעַטְתִּים לְבִלְתִּי רְדֹות בַּגֹּויִם׃ |
[15]It shall be the smallest of the kingdoms, neither shall it exalt itself anymore above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations. |
| [16]וְלֹא יִהְיֶה־עֹוד לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמִבְטָח מַזְכִּיר עָוֹן בִּפְנֹותָם אַחֲרֵיהֶם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי אֲנִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ |
[16]And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their iniquity to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they know, that I am the Lord God. |
| [17]וַיְהִי בְּעֶשְׂרִים וָשֶׁבַע שָׁנָה בָּרִאשֹׁון בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
[17]In the seven and twentieth year also in the first month, and in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord unto me, saying, |
| [18]בֶּן־אָדָם נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל הֶעֱבִיד אֶת־חֵילֹו עֲבֹדָה גְדֹלָה אֶל־צֹר כָּל־רֹאשׁ מֻקְרָח וְכָל־כָּתֵף מְרוּטָה וְשָׂכָר לֹא־הָיָה לֹו וּלְחֵילֹו מִצֹּר עַל־הָעֲבֹדָה אֲשֶׁר־עָבַד עָלֶיהָ׃ |
[18]Son of man, Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he served against it. |
| [19]לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן לִנְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל אֶת־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וְנָשָׂא הֲמֹנָהּ וְשָׁלַל שְׁלָלָהּ וּבָזַז בִּזָּהּ וְהָיְתָה שָׂכָר לְחֵילֹו׃ |
[19]Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchad-nezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and spoil her spoil, and take her prey, and it shall be the wages for his army. |
| [20]פְּעֻלָּתֹו אֲשֶׁר־עָבַד בָּהּ נָתַתִּי לֹו אֶת־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ |
[20]I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor that he served against it, because they wrought for me. |
| [21]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּלְךָ אֶתֵּן פִּתְחֹון־פֶּה בְּתֹוכָם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ |
[21]In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to grow, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them, and they shall know that I am the Lord. |
