1 ¶ And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الثّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ السَّبيِ، أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

2 S on of man, raise up lamentations upon Pharaoh king of Egypt and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as the whale in the seas, that dost dry up thy rivers, and trouble the waters with thy feet, and foul their streams.

«يا إنْسانُ، غَنِّ أُغنِيَةَ حُزنٍ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصرَ: «‹شَبَّهْتَ نَفسَكَ بِأسَدٍ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ، لَكِنَّكَ تِنِّينُ البِحارِ. اندَفَعْتَ مِنْ نَهرِكَ، مُهَيِّجاً المِياهَ بِقَدَمَيكَ، دائِساً أنهارَهُمْ وَمُعَكِّراً مِياهَها.›»

3 T hus hath the Lord GOD said: I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many peoples, and they shall bring thee up in my net.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَأُلقِي شَبَكَتِي عَلَيكَ، حِينَ أجمَعُ شُعُوباً كَثِيرَةً عَلَيكَ، فَيَسحَبُونَكَ فِي شَبَكَتِي.

4 T hen I will leave thee upon the land; I will cast thee forth upon the open field and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

وَسَأترُكُكَ هُناكَ عَلَى الأرْضِ الجّافَّةِ، وَسَأُلقِيكَ فِي السِّهُولِ المَكشُوفَةِ. وَسَأُنزِلُ طُيُورَ السَّماءِ لِتَقتاتَ عَلَيكَ، وَسَأُطعِمُ حَيَواناتِ الأرْضِ مِنكَ حَتَّى يَشبَعُوا.

5 A nd I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys with thy height.

سَأُلقِي جَسَدَكَ عَلَى الجِبالِ، وَسَأملأُ الوِديانَ بِجُثَثِكَ.

6 I will also water with thy blood the land in which thou dost swim, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

سَأَغْمَرُ الأرْضَ الجّافَّةَ بِدَمِكَ، وَأملأُ الأودِيَةَ بِهِ حَتَّى قِمَمِ الجِبالِ.

7 A nd when thou art dead, I will cover the heavens and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

وَحِينَ تَزُولُ، سَأُغَطِّي السَّماءَ وَأُسَوِّدُ نُجُومَها. سَأُغَطِّي الشَّمسَ بِالغُيُومِ، وَلَنْ يَظهَرَ نُورُ القَمَرِ.

8 A ll the bright lights of heaven I will make dark because of thee and set darkness upon thy land, said the Lord GOD.

سَأجعَلُ كُلَّ الأنوارِ المُشرِقَةِ سَوداءَ بِسَبَبِكَ، وَسَأنشُرُ الظُّلمَةَ عَلَى أرْضِكَ.» هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

9 I will also make the hearts of many peoples sad when I shall bring thy destruction upon the Gentiles, into the countries which thou hast not known.

«سأُثِيرُ غَضَبَ أمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، إذْ سأحمِلُكَ أسِيراً بَينَ الأُمَمُ، إلَى بِلادٍ لا تَعْرِفُها.

10 A nd I will make many peoples amazed at thee and their kings shall be horribly afraid because of thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

سَتَندَهِشُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةً مِنكَ. وَسَيَقِفُ شَعرُ رُؤُوسِ المُلُوكِ خَوفاً حِينَ أُحرِّكُ سَيفِي أمامَهُمْ. وَسَيَخافُ الجَمِيعُ مِنْ فُقدانِ حَياتِهِمْ حِينَ يَسمَعُونَ بِدَمارِكَ.»

11 F or thus hath the Lord GOD said: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.

فَهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَيَأتِي سَيفُ مَلِكِ بابِلَ عَلَيكَ!

12 B y the swords of the mighty I will cause thy people to fall; they shall all be the strong of the Gentiles and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be undone.

سَأُبِيدُ جُيُوشَكَ بِسيُوفِ المُحارِبِينَ الأقوِياءِ – كُلُّهُمْ مُرعِبُونَ بَينَ الأُمَمِ. سَيَسلِبُونَ كُلَّ ما تَفخَرُ مِصرُ بِهِ، وَيُهلِكُونَ كُلُّ جُيُوشِها.

13 I will also destroy all the beasts thereof from upon the many waters; neither shall the foot of man, nor the hoofs of beasts foul them any more.

سَأُزِيلُ ماشِيَتَها عَنِ المِياهِ الكَثِيرَةِ، وَلَنْ تَبقَى رِجلُ إنسانٍ أوْ حافِرُ حَيَوانٍ تُحَرِّكُ هَذِهِ المِياهَ.

14 T hen I will make their waters deepen and cause their channels to run like oil, said the Lord GOD.

حِينَئِذٍ، سَأجعَلُ مِياهَهُمْ هادِئَةً، وَقَنَواتِهِمْ تَتَدَفَّقُ بِسَلاسَةٍ كَما لَوْ أنَّها زَيتٌ.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

15 W hen I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and the fullness of the land shall be taken away when I shall smite all those that dwell therein, then they shall know that I am the LORD.

«حِينَ أُسَلِّمُ مِصرَ لِلدَّمارِ، فَإنَّ غِنى الأرْضِ سيَزُولُ عَنها، حِينَ أضرِبُ كُلَّ سُكّانِها. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.»

16 T his is the lamentation, and they shall sing it; the daughters of the Gentiles shall sing it: they shall lament over Egypt and over all her multitude, said the Lord GOD.

هَذِهِ أُغنِيَةُ حُزنٍ سَتُغَنِّيها نِساءُ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى عَلَى مِصرَ وَكُلِّ جُيُوشِها وَسُكّانِها. يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

17 ¶ It also came to pass in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

فِي اليَومِ الخامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الثّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ السَّبيِ، أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

18 S on of man, lament over the multitude of Egypt and cast him down and the habitations of the strong Gentiles into the lower parts of the earth with those that go down into the grave.

«يا إنْسانُ، غَنِّ أُغنِيَةَ حُزنٍ عَلَى جيُوشِ مِصرَ. أنزِلْهُمْ إلَى الأسفَلِ مَعَ مِصرَ وَمُدَنِ الشُّعُوبِ الجَلِيلَةِ، إلَى العالَمِ السُّفلِيِّ، مَعَ النّازِلِينَ إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ.

19 B ecause thou art so beautiful, go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

«هَلْ شابَهَكَ أَحَدٌ فِي الجَمالِ؟ فَانزِلْ وَاستَلقِ مَعَ اللامَخْتُونِينَ.

20 T hey shall fall in the midst of those that are slain by the sword; he is delivered to the sword; bring him and all his peoples.

سَتَسقُطُ مِصرُ بَيْنَ المَقتُولِينَ بِالسَّيفِ. قَدْ عُيِّنَتْ مِصرُ لِلسَّيفِ. سَباها العَدُوُّ مَعَ كُلِّ جُيُوشِها.

21 T he strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those that help him: they are gone down; they lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

سَيَتَكَلَّمُ قادَةُ الحَربِ وَمُعاوِنُوهُمْ عَنهُ وَعَنْ مُعاوِنِيهِ فِي وَسَطِ الهاوِيَةِ، فَيَقُولُونَ: ‹نَزَلَ غَيرُ المَختُونِينَ، وَاضطَجَعُوا وَسَطَ المَقْتولِينَ بِالسَّيفِ.›

22 A sshur is there and all his company; his graves are about him; all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

«أشُّورُ فِي الهاوِيَةِ مَعَ رِفاقِها وَقُبُورُهُمْ مِنْ حَولِها. كُلُّهُمْ قَتلَى سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ.

23 w hose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and his company is round about his grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.

جُعِلَتْ قُبُورُهُمْ فِي أعماقِ حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ. قُبُورُ رِفاقِها حَولَ قَبرِها. كُلُّهُمْ قَتلَى سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ، وَكانُوا سابِقاً يَنشُرُونَ الرُّعبَ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ.

24 T here is Elam and all his multitude round about his grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the lowest parts of the earth because they spread their terror in the land of the living; yet they have borne their shame with those that go down to the grave.

«عِيلامُ فِي الهاوِيَةِ مَعَ جُمهُورِها وَقُبُورُهُمْ مِنْ حَولِها. كُلُّهُمْ قَتلَى سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ. نَزَلُوا بِلا خِتانٍ إلَى العالَمِ السَّفلِيِّ، وَكانُوا سابِقاً يَنشُرُونَ الرُّعبَ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ. لَكِنَّهُمْ حَمَلُوا عارَهُمْ وَنَزَلُوا مَعَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ.

25 T hey have set him a bed in the midst of the slain with all his multitude: his graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living, yet they have borne their shame with those that go down to the pit; he was put in the midst of the dead.

جَعَلُوا لِعيلامَ وَجُمهُورِها فِراشاً بَينَ المَذبُوحِينَ. وَقُبُورُهُمْ مِنْ حَولِها. كُلُّهُمْ غَيرُ مَختُونِينَ وَقَتلَى سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ، نَزَلُوا بِلا خِتانٍ إلَى العالَمِ السَّفلِيِّ، وَكانُوا سابِقاً يَنشُرُونَ الرُّعبَ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ. لَكِنَّهُمْ حَمَلُوا عارَهُمْ وَنَزَلُوا مَعَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ، لَيَكُونُوا وَسَطَ المَذبُوحِينَ.

26 T here is Meshech, Tubal, and all his multitude; his graves are round about him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword because they had caused their terror in the land of the living.

«ماشِكُ وَتُوبالُ فِي الهاوِيَةِ مَعَ جَيشِهِما وَقُبُورُهُمْ مِنْ حَولِهما. كُلُّهُمْ قَتلَى سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ، وَكانُوا سابِقاً يَنشُرُونَ الرُّعبَ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ.

27 A nd they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their sins shall be upon their bones because they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

لَنْ يَستَلقُوا مَعَ المُحارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا مِنْ جُيُوشِ غَيرِ المَختُونِينَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا إلَى مَكانِ الأمواتِ مَعَ أسلِحَةِ الحربِ الَّتِي تَخُصُّهُمْ، الَّذِينَ وُضِعَتْ سُيُوفُهُمْ تَحتَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ. سَتَحمِلُ عِظامُهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ، لأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَنشُرُونَ الرُّعبَ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ.

28 Y ea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised and shalt lie with those that are slain with the sword.

«وَأنتَ، يا فِرعَوْنُ سَتَنكَسِرُ وَسَطَ غَيرِ المَختُونِينَ وَتَستَلقِي هُناكَ مَعَ المَقتُولِينَ بِالسَّيفِ.

29 T here is Edom, his kings, and all his princes, which with their might are laid with those that were slain by the sword; they shall lie with the uncircumcised and with those that go down to the pit.

«أدُومُ فِي الهاوِيَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِها وَرُؤَسائِها، الَّذِينَ بِالرَّغمِ مِنْ قُوَّتِهِمْ وُضِعُوا هُناكَ مَعَ المَقتُولِينَ بِالسَّيفِ. يَستَلقُونَ هُناكَ مَعَ غَيرِ المَختُونِينَ، وَمَعَ النّازِلِينَ إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ.

30 T here are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who are gone down with the slain with their terror, ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with those that are slain by the sword and bear their shame with those that go down to the pit.

«قادَةُ الشَّمالِ جَميعاً فِي الهاوِيَةِ مَعَ كُلِّ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ. نَزَلُوا بِعارِهِمْ مَعَ المَذبُوحِينَ، بِسَبَبِ الرُّعبِ الَّذِي أثارُوهُ بِقُوَّتِهِمْ. استَلقَوْا بِلا خِتانٍ مَعَ القَتلَى الَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ. حَمَلُوا عارَهُمْ وَنَزَلُوا مَعَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوْتِ.

31 P haraoh shall see them and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, said the Lord GOD.

«سَيَراهُمْ فِرعَوْنُ فَيَتَعَزَّى عَنْ كُلِّ جُيُوشِهِ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا بِالسَّيفِ.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

32 B ecause I have spread my terror in the land of the living, he shall also lay in the midst of the uncircumcised with those that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, said the Lord GOD.

«لأنّي زَرَعتُ خَوفَهُ فِي أرْضِ الأحياءِ، وَسَيَستَلقِي فِرْعَوْنُ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِ وَسَطَ غَيرِ المَختُونِينَ المَقتُولِينَ بِالسَّيفِ.» هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.
