1. On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year, the word of the LORD came to me:
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 , in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320 , in the first H259 day of the month H2320 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, utter a lament over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, saying to him: Lion of the nations, you are destroyed. You were like a monster in the sea, spouting in your streams, Stirring the water with your feet and churning its streams.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , take up H5375 a lamentation H7015 for H5921 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and say H559 unto H413 him , Thou art like H1819 a young lion H3715 of the nations H1471 , and thou H859 art as a whale H8577 in the seas H3220 : and thou camest forth H1518 with thy rivers H5104 , and troubledst H1804 the waters H4325 with thy feet H7272 , and fouledst H7511 their rivers H5104 .
|
|
3. Thus says the Lord GOD: I will spread my net over you (with a host of many nations), and draw you up in my seine.
|
3. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will therefore spread out H6566 H853 my net H7568 over H5921 thee with a company H6951 of many H7227 people H5971 ; and they shall bring thee up H5927 in my net H2764 .
|
|
4. I will leave you on the land; on the open field I will cast you. I will have all the birds of the air alight on you, and all the beasts of the earth eat their fill of you.
|
4. Then will I leave H5203 thee upon the land H776 , I will cast thee forth H2904 upon H5921 the open H6440 field H7704 , and will cause all H3605 the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 to remain H7931 upon H5921 thee , and I will fill H7646 the beasts H2416 of the whole H3605 earth H776 with H4480 thee.
|
|
5. I will leave your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your carcass.
|
5. And I will lay H5414 H853 thy flesh H1320 upon H5921 the mountains H2022 , and fill H4390 the valleys H1516 with thy height H7419 .
|
|
6. I will water the land with what flows from you, and the river beds shall be filled with your blood.
|
6. I will also water H8248 with thy blood H4480 H1818 the land H776 wherein thou swimmest H6824 , even to H413 the mountains H2022 ; and the rivers H650 shall be full H4390 of H4480 thee.
|
|
7. When I snuff you out I will cover the heavens, and all their stars I will darken; The sun I will cover with clouds, and the moon shall not give its light.
|
7. And when I shall put thee out H3518 , I will cover H3680 the heaven H8064 , and make the stars thereof dark H6937 H853 H3556 ; I will cover H3680 the sun H8121 with a cloud H6051 , and the moon H3394 shall not H3808 give H215 her light H216 .
|
|
8. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken on your account, And I will spread darkness over your land, says the Lord GOD.
|
8. All H3605 the bright H216 lights H3974 of heaven H8064 will I make dark H6937 over H5921 thee , and set H5414 darkness H2822 upon H5921 thy land H776 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
9. I will grieve the hearts of many peoples when I lead you captive among the nations, to lands which you do not know.
|
9. I will also vex H3707 the hearts H3820 of many H7227 people H5971 , when I shall bring H935 thy destruction H7667 among the nations H1471 , into H5921 the countries H776 which H834 thou hast not H3808 known H3045 .
|
|
10. Many peoples shall be appalled at you, and their kings shall shudder over you in horror when they see me brandish my sword, and on the day of your downfall every one of them shall continuously tremble for his own life.
|
10. Yea , I will make many people amazed H8074 H5971 H7227 at H5921 thee , and their kings H4428 shall be horribly afraid H8175 H8178 for H5921 thee , when I shall brandish H5774 my sword H2719 before H5921 H6440 them ; and they shall tremble H2729 at every moment H7281 , every man H376 for his own life H5315 , in the day H3117 of thy fall H4658 .
|
|
11. For thus says the Lord GOD: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.
|
11. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; The sword H2719 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall come upon H935 thee.
|
|
12. I will cut down your horde with the blades of warriors, all of them the most ruthless of the nations; They shall lay waste the glory of Egypt, and all her hordes shall be destroyed.
|
12. By the swords H2719 of the mighty H1368 will I cause thy multitude H1995 to fall H5307 , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 , all H3605 of them : and they shall spoil H7703 H853 the pomp H1347 of Egypt H4714 , and all H3605 the multitude H1995 thereof shall be destroyed H8045 .
|
|
13. I will have all of her animals perish beside her abundant waters; The foot of man shall stir them no longer, nor shall the hoof of beast disturb them.
|
13. I will destroy H6 also H853 all H3605 the beasts H929 thereof from beside H4480 H5921 the great H7227 waters H4325 ; neither H3808 shall the foot H7272 of man H120 trouble H1804 them any more H5750 , nor H3808 the hooves H6541 of beasts H929 trouble H1804 them.
|
|
14. Then will I make their waters clear, and their streams flow like oil, says the Lord GOD.
|
14. Then H227 will I make their waters deep H8257 H4325 , and cause their rivers H5104 to run H1980 like oil H8081 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
15. When I turn Egypt into a waste, the land shall be devastated of all that is in it; when I strike all who live there, they shall know that I am the LORD.
|
15. When I shall make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate H8077 , and the country H776 shall be destitute H8074 of that whereof it was full H4480 H4393 , when I shall smite H5221 H853 all H3605 them that dwell H3427 therein , then shall they know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
16. This is a dirge, and it shall be sung: the daughters of the nations shall chant it; over Egypt and all its hordes shall they chant it, says the Lord GOD.
|
16. This H1931 is the lamentation H7015 wherewith they shall lament H6969 her : the daughters H1323 of the nations H1471 shall lament H6969 her : they shall lament H6969 for her, even for H5921 Egypt H4714 , and for H5921 all H3605 her multitude H1995 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
17. On the fifteenth day of the first month in the twelfth year, the word of the LORD came to me:
|
17. It came to pass H1961 also in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 , in the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day of the month H2320 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
18. Son of man, lament over the throngs of Egypt, for the mighty nations have thrust them down to the bottom of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
|
18. Son H1121 of man H120 , wail H5091 for H5921 the multitude H1995 of Egypt H4714 , and cast them down H3381 , even her , and the daughters H1323 of the famous H117 nations H1471 , unto H413 the nether parts H8482 of the earth H776 , with H854 them that go down H3381 into the pit H953 .
|
|
19. "Whom do you excel in beauty?
|
19. Whom H4480 H4310 dost thou pass in beauty H5276 ? go down H3381 , and be thou laid H7901 with H854 the uncircumcised H6189 .
|
|
20. In the midst of those slain by the sword shall they fall, and place shall be made with them for all their hordes. Then from the midst of the nether world, the mighty warriors shall speak to Egypt:
|
20. They shall fall H5307 in the midst H8432 of them that are slain H2491 by the sword H2719 : she is delivered H5414 to the sword H2719 : draw H4900 her and all H3605 her multitudes H1995 .
|
|
21. Come down, you and your allies, lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword."
|
21. The strong H410 among the mighty H1368 shall speak H1696 to him out of the midst H4480 H8432 of hell H7585 with H854 them that help H5826 him : they are gone down H3381 , they lie H7901 uncircumcised H6189 , slain H2491 by the sword H2719 .
|
|
22. There is Assyria with all her company, all of them slain,
|
22. Asshur H804 is there H8033 and all H3605 her company H6951 : his graves H6913 are about H5439 him: all H3605 of them slain H2491 , fallen H5307 by the sword H2719 :
|
|
23. whose graves have been made in the recesses of the pit; her company is around Egypt's grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.
|
23. Whose H834 graves H6913 are set H5414 in the sides H3411 of the pit H953 , and her company H6951 is H1961 round about H5439 her grave H6900 : all H3605 of them slain H2491 , fallen H5307 by the sword H2719 , which H834 caused H5414 terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
|
24. There is Elam with all her throng about Egypt's grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword: they have gone down uncircumcised to the bottom of the earth, who spread their terror in the land of the living, and they bear their disgrace with those who go down into the pit;
|
24. There H8033 is Elam H5867 and all H3605 her multitude H1995 round about H5439 her grave H6900 , all H3605 of them slain H2491 , fallen H5307 by the sword H2719 , which H834 are gone down H3381 uncircumcised H6189 into H413 the nether parts H8482 of the earth H776 , which H834 caused H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 ; yet have they borne H5375 their shame H3639 with H854 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 .
|
|
25. in the midst of the slain they are placed.
|
25. They have set H5414 her a bed H4904 in the midst H8432 of the slain H2491 with all H3605 her multitude H1995 : her graves H6913 are round about H5439 him: all H3605 of them uncircumcised H6189 , slain H2491 by the sword H2719 : though H3588 their terror H2851 was caused H5414 in the land H776 of the living H2416 , yet have they borne H5375 their shame H3639 with H854 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 : he is put H5414 in the midst H8432 of them that be slain H2491 .
|
|
26. There are Meshech and Tubal and all their throng about her grave, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for they spread their terror in the land of the living.
|
26. There H8033 is Meshech H4902 , Tubal H8422 , and all H3605 her multitude H1995 : her graves H6913 are round about H5439 him: all H3605 of them uncircumcised H6189 , slain H2490 by the sword H2719 , though H3588 they caused H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
|
27. They do not lie with the mighty men fallen of old, who went down to the nether world with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads and whose shields were laid over their bones, though the mighty men caused terror in the land of the living.
|
27. And they shall not H3808 lie H7901 with H854 the mighty H1368 that are fallen H5307 of the uncircumcised H4480 H6189 , which H834 are gone down H3381 to hell H7585 with their weapons H3627 of war H4421 : and they have laid H5414 H853 their swords H2719 under H8478 their heads H7218 , but their iniquities H5771 shall be H1961 upon H5921 their bones H6106 , though H3588 they were the terror H2851 of the mighty H1368 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
|
28. But in the midst of the uncircumcised shall you lie, with those slain by the sword.
|
28. Yea, thou H859 shalt be broken H7665 in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189 , and shalt lie H7901 with H854 them that are slain H2491 with the sword H2719 .
|
|
29. There are Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who despite their might have been placed with those slain by the sword; with the uncircumcised they lie, and with those who go down into the pit.
|
29. There H8033 is Edom H123 , her kings H4428 , and all H3605 her princes H5387 , which H834 with their might H1369 are laid H5414 by H854 them that were slain H2491 by the sword H2719 : they H1992 shall lie H7901 with H854 the uncircumcised H6189 , and with H854 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 .
|
|
30. There are all the princes of the north and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain, because of the terror their might inspired; they lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bear their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.
|
30. There H8033 be the princes H5257 of the north H6828 , all H3605 of them , and all H3605 the Zidonians H6722 , which H834 are gone down H3381 with H854 the slain H2491 ; with their terror H2851 they are ashamed H954 of their might H4480 H1369 ; and they lie H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with H854 them that be slain H2491 by the sword H2719 , and bear H5375 their shame H3639 with H854 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 .
|
|
31. When Pharaoh sees these, he shall be comforted for all his hordes slain by the sword-- Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord GOD.
|
31. Pharaoh H6547 shall see H7200 them , and shall be comforted H5162 over H5921 all H3605 his multitude H1995 , even Pharaoh H6547 and all H3605 his army H2428 slain H2491 by the sword H2719 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
32. Since he spread his terror in the land of the living, therefore is he laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword-- Pharaoh and all his hordes, says the Lord GOD.
|
32. For H3588 I have caused H5414 H853 my terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 : and he shall be laid H7901 in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189 with H854 them that are slain H2491 with the sword H2719 , even Pharaoh H6547 and all H3605 his multitude H1995 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
