1 A nd it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

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

2 “ Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: ‘You are like a young lion among the nations, And you are like a monster in the seas, Bursting forth in your rivers, Troubling the waters with your feet, And fouling their rivers.

«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 ‘ Thus says the Lord God: “I will therefore spread My net over you with a company of many people, And they will draw you 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 you on the land; I will cast you out on the open fields, And cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens. And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.

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

5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, And fill the valleys with your carcass.

سَأُلقِي جَسَدَكَ عَلَى الجِبالِ، وَسَأملأُ الوِديانَ بِجُثَثِكَ.

6 “ I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, Even to the mountains; And the riverbeds will be full of you.

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

7 W hen I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars 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 the heavens I will make dark over you, And bring darkness upon your land,” Says the Lord God.

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

9 ‘ I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

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

10 Y es, I will make many peoples astonished at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they shall tremble every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

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

11 ‘ For thus says the Lord God: “The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.

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

12 B y the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them the most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall. “They shall plunder the pomp of Egypt, And all its multitude shall be destroyed.

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

13 A lso I will destroy all its animals From beside its great waters; The foot of man shall muddy them no more, Nor shall the hooves of animals muddy them.

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

14 T hen I will make their waters clear, And make their rivers run like oil,” Says the Lord God.

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

15 “ When I make the land of Egypt desolate, And the country is destitute of all that once filled it, When I strike all who dwell in it, 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 “ This is the lamentation With which they shall lament her; The daughters of the nations shall lament her; They shall lament for her, for Egypt, And for all her multitude,” Says the Lord God.’” Egypt and Others Consigned to the Pit

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

17 I t came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

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

18 “ Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, And cast them down to the depths of the earth, Her and the daughters of the famous nations, With those who go down to the Pit:

«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 ‘ Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’

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

20 “ They shall fall in the midst of those slain by the sword; She is delivered to the sword, Drawing her and all her multitudes.

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 hell With those who help him: ‘They have 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 “ Assyria is there, and all her company, With their graves all around her, All of them slain, fallen by the sword.

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

23 H er graves are set in the recesses of the Pit, And her company is all around her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword, Who 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 “ There is Elam and all her multitude, All around her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Who caused their terror in the land of the living; Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.

«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 her bed in the midst of the slain, With all her multitude, With her graves all around it, All of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; Though their terror was caused In the land of the living, Yet they bear their shame With those who go down to the Pit; It was put in the midst of the slain.

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 “ There are Meshech and Tubal and all their multitudes, With all their graves around it, All of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, Though they 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 T hey do not lie with the mighty Who are fallen of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to hell with their weapons of war; They have laid their swords under their heads, But their iniquities will be on their bones, Because of 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 es, you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, And lie with those slain by the sword.

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

29 “ There is Edom, Her kings and all her princes, Who despite their might Are laid beside those slain by the sword; They shall lie with the uncircumcised, And with those who 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 Sidonians, Who have gone down with the slain In shame at the terror which they caused by their might; They lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, And bear their shame with those who 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 “ Pharaoh will see them And be comforted over all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, Slain by the sword,” Says the Lord God.

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

32 “ For I have caused My terror in the land of the living; And he shall be placed in the midst of the uncircumcised With those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude,” Says the Lord God.

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