| [1]מַשָּׂא מִצְרָיִם הִנֵּה יְהוָה רֹכֵב עַל־עָב קַל וּבָא מִצְרַיִם וְנָעוּ אֱלִילֵי מִצְרַיִם מִפָּנָיו וּלְבַב מִצְרַיִם יִמַּס בְּקִרְבֹּו׃ |
[1]THE prophecy concerning the fall of Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding upon swift clouds, and comes into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians shall melt in the midst of it. |
| [2]וְסִכְסַכְתִּי מִצְרַיִם בְּמִצְרַיִם וְנִלְחֲמוּ אִישׁ־בְּאָחִיו וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ עִיר בְּעִיר מַמְלָכָה בְּמַמְלָכָה׃ |
[2]And I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. |
| [3]וְנָבְקָה רוּחַ־מִצְרַיִם בְּקִרְבֹּו וַעֲצָתֹו אֲבַלֵּעַ וְדָרְשׁוּ אֶל־הָאֱלִילִים וְאֶל־הָאִטִּים וְאֶל־הָאֹבֹות וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִים׃ |
[3]And the spirit of the Egyptian shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will blot out their counsel; and they shall inquire of idols and of the sorcerers and of those who have familiar spirits and of wizards. |
| [4]וְסִכַּרְתִּי אֶת־מִצְרַיִם בְּיַד אֲדֹנִים קָשֶׁה וּמֶלֶךְ עַז יִמְשָׁל־בָּם נְאֻם הָאָדֹון יְהוָה צְבָאֹות׃ |
[4]And I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of the cruel Medes; and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the LORD of hosts. |
| [5]וְנִשְּׁתוּ־מַיִם מֵהַיָּם וְנָהָר יֶחֱרַב וְיָבֵשׁ׃ |
[5]And they shall cut off the water from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. |
| [6]וְהֶאֶזְנִיחוּ נְהָרֹות דָּלֲלוּ וְחָרְבוּ יְאֹרֵי מָצֹור קָנֶה וָסוּף קָמֵלוּ׃ |
[6]And they shall divert the waters of the rivers, and shall diminish the great rivers; the reeds and rushes and papyrus shall wither. |
| [7]עָרֹות עַל־יְאֹור עַל־פִּי יְאֹור וְכֹל מִזְרַע יְאֹור יִיבַשׁ נִדַּף וְאֵינֶנּוּ׃ |
[7]The rushes by the river, and by the mouth of the river, and everything sown by the river shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. |
| [8]וְאָנוּ הַדַּיָּגִים וְאָבְלוּ כָּל־מַשְׁלִיכֵי בַיְאֹור חַכָּה וּפֹרְשֵׂי מִכְמֹרֶת עַל־פְּנֵי־מַיִם אֻמְלָלוּ׃ |
[8]The fishermen also shall lament, and all who cast hooks into the river shall mourn, and those who spread nets upon the water shall languish. |
| [9]וּבֹשׁוּ עֹבְדֵי פִשְׁתִּים שְׂרִיקֹות וְאֹרְגִים חֹורָי׃ |
[9]Moreover those who work in cotton, and those who comb cotton and weave with joy, shall be confounded. |
| [10]וְהָיוּ שָׁתֹתֶיהָ מְדֻכָּאִים כָּל־עֹשֵׂי שֶׂכֶר אַגְמֵי־נָפֶשׁ׃ |
[10]And all those who make strong drink for the drinking of the people shall be humiliated. |
| [11]אַךְ־אֱוִלִים שָׂרֵי צֹעַן חַכְמֵי יֹעֲצֵי פַרְעֹה עֵצָה נִבְעָרָה אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹה בֶּן־חֲכָמִים אֲנִי בֶּן־מַלְכֵי־קֶדֶם׃ |
[11]Surely the princes of Zoan have become fools, the wise counsellors of King Pharaoh give foolish counsel; how can you say to Pharaoh, We are wise men, the sons of the ancient kings? |
| [12]אַיָּם אֵפֹוא חֲכָמֶיךָ וְיַגִּידוּ נָא לָךְ וְיֵדְעוּ מַה־יָּעַץ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות עַל־מִצְרָיִם׃ |
[12]Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt. |
| [13]נֹואֲלוּ שָׂרֵי צֹעַן נִשְּׁאוּ שָׂרֵי נֹף הִתְעוּ אֶת־מִצְרַיִם פִּנַּת שְׁבָטֶיהָ׃ |
[13]The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Memphis have become haughty and have deceived Egypt, even the foundation of her families. |
| [14]יְהוָה מָסַךְ בְּקִרְבָּהּ רוּחַ עִוְעִים וְהִתְעוּ אֶת־מִצְרַיִם בְּכָל־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ כְּהִתָּעֹות שִׁכֹּור בְּקִיאֹו׃ |
[14]The LORD has mingled a spirit of deceit within her; and it has caused the Egyptian to err in all his works, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit. |
| [15]וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה לְמִצְרַיִם מַעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה רֹאשׁ וְזָנָב כִּפָּה וְאַגְמֹון׃ |
[15]Neither shall there be any leader for the Egyptians who can make head or tail of it, or tail or head. |
| [16]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יִהְיֶה מִצְרַיִם כַּנָּשִׁים וְחָרַד וּפָחַד מִפְּנֵי תְּנוּפַת יַד־יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֲשֶׁר־הוּא מֵנִיף עָלָיו׃ |
[16]On that day the Egyptian shall be like a woman, and he shall be afraid and tremble because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes against him. |
| [17]וְהָיְתָה אַדְמַת יְהוּדָה לְמִצְרַיִם לְחָגָּא כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַזְכִּיר אֹתָהּ אֵלָיו יִפְחָד מִפְּנֵי עֲצַת יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹועֵץ עָלָיו׃ |
[17]And the land of Judah shall be a terror to the Egyptian; every one who makes mention of it shall be filled with dread because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which he has determined against the Egyptian |
| [18]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יִהְיוּ חָמֵשׁ עָרִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מְדַבְּרֹות שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן וְנִשְׁבָּעֹות לַיהוָה צְבָאֹות עִיר הַהֶרֶס יֵאָמֵר לְאֶחָת׃ |
[18]In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one of them shall be called Haris, the city of destruction. |
| [19]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יִהְיֶה מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה בְּתֹוךְ אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וּמַצֵּבָה אֵצֶל־גְּבוּלָהּ לַיהוָה׃ |
[19]On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the LORD. |
| [20]וְהָיָה לְאֹות וּלְעֵד לַיהוָה צְבָאֹות בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם כִּי־יִצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי לֹחֲצִים וְיִשְׁלַח לָהֶם מֹושִׁיעַ וָרָב וְהִצִּילָם׃ |
[20]And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour and a judge, and he shall deliver them. |
| [21]וְנֹודַע יְהוָה לְמִצְרַיִם וְיָדְעוּ מִצְרַיִם אֶת־יְהוָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וְעָבְדוּ זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה וְנָדְרוּ־נֵדֶר לַיהוָה וְשִׁלֵּמוּ׃ |
[21]And the LORD shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall offer sacrifices and oblations; yea, they shall vow a vow to the LORD and perform it. |
| [22]וְנָגַף יְהוָה אֶת־מִצְרַיִם נָגֹף וְרָפֹוא וְשָׁבוּ עַד־יְהוָה וְנֶעְתַּר לָהֶם וּרְפָאָם׃ |
[22]And the LORD shall smite the Egyptians; he shall smite and heal them; and they shall return to the LORD, and he shall answer them and shall heal them. |
| [23]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא תִּהְיֶה מְסִלָּה מִמִּצְרַיִם אַשּׁוּרָה וּבָא־אַשּׁוּר בְּמִצְרַיִם וּמִצְרַיִם בְּאַשּׁוּר וְעָבְדוּ מִצְרַיִם אֶת־אַשּׁוּר׃ |
[23]In that day there shall be a highway from Egypt to Assyria and from Assyria to Egypt, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians. |
| [24]בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלִישִׁיָּה לְמִצְרַיִם וּלְאַשּׁוּר בְּרָכָה בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ׃ |
[24]In that day Israel shall be the third with Egyptians and with Assyrians, even a blessing in the midst of the land, |
| [25]אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֲכֹו יְהוָה צְבָאֹות לֵאמֹר בָּרוּךְ עַמִּי מִצְרַיִם וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי אַשּׁוּר וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[25]Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people and Assyria the work of my hands and Israel my heritage |
