NOVA VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In anno decimo, in decimo mense, duodecima mensis, factum est verbumDomini ad me dicens:1 In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of Yahweh was addressed to me asfol ows,
2 “ Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra pharaonem,regem Aegypti, et prophetabis de eo et de Aegypto universa.2 'Son of man, turn towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against the whole ofEgypt.
3 Loquere et dices:Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego ad te, pharao,
rex Aegypti,
draco magne, qui cubas
in medio fluminum tuorum
et dicis: “Meus est fluvius,
et ego feci memetipsum!”.
3 Speak and say, "The Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt- the greatcrocodile wal owing in his Niles who thought: My Nile is mine, I made it.
4 Et ponam uncos in maxillis tuis
et agglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis
et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum,
et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adhaerebunt.
4 I shal put hooks through your jaws, make your Nile fish stick to your scales, and pul you out of yourNiles with al your Nile fish sticking to your scales.
5 Et proiciam te in desertum
et omnes pisces fluminum tuorum.
Super faciem terrae cades;
non colligeris neque congregaberis.
Bestiis terrae et volatilibus caeli
dedi te ad devorandum.
5 I shal drop you in the desert, with al your Nile fish. You will fal in the wilds and not be taken up orburied. I shall give you as food to the wild animals and the birds of heaven,
6 Et scient omnes habitatores Aegypti
quia ego Dominus,
pro eo quod fuisti baculus arundineus
domui Israel:
6 and all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, for they have given no more support thana reed to the House of Israel.
7 quando apprehenderunt te manu,
confractus es et lacerasti omnem umerum eorum
et, innitentibus eis super te,
comminutus es
et dissolvisti omnes lumbos eorum.
7 Wherever they grasped you, you broke in their hands and cut their hands al over. Whenever theyleaned on you, you broke, making al their limbs give way.
8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam super te gladium etinterficiam de te hominem et iumentum;8 "So, the Lord Yahweh says this: I shal send the sword against you to denude you of human andanimal.
9 et erit terra Aegypti in desertum etsolitudinem, et scient quia ego Dominus. Pro eo quod dixeris: “Fluvius meusest, et ego feci!”,9 Egypt wil become a desolate waste, and they wil know that I am Yahweh. Because he thought: TheNile is mine, I made it,
10 idcirco ecce ego ad te et ad flumina tua, daboqueterram Aegypti in solitudines, gladio dissipatam a Magdolo ad Syenen et usque adterminos Chus.10 very well, I am against you and your Niles. I shal make Egypt a waste and a desolation, from Migdolto Syene and beyond to the frontiers of Ethiopia.
11 Non pertransibit eam pes hominis, neque pes iumenti gradieturin ea, et non habitabitur quadraginta annis;11 No human foot wil pass through it, no animal foot will pass through it. For forty years it wil remainuninhabited.
12 daboque terram Aegypti desertamin medio terrarum desertarum, et civitates eius in medio urbium subversarumerunt desolatae quadraginta annis, et dispergam Aegyptios in nationes etventilabo eos in terras.12 I shal make Egypt the most desolate of countries; for forty years its cities wil be the most desolate ofwasted cities. And I shall scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries.
13 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Post finem quadraginta annorum congregaboAegyptios de populis, in quibus dispersi fuerunt,13 The Lord Yahweh, however, says this: After forty years have passed, I shal gather the Egyptiansback from the nations where they were dispersed.
14 et convertam sortem Aegyptiet collocabo eos in terra Phatures, in terra nativitatis suae; et erunt ibi inregnum humile.14 I shal bring the Egyptian captives back and re-instal them in the land of Pathros, in the country oftheir origin. There they wil constitute a modest kingdom.
15 Inter regna cetera erit humillima et non elevabitur ultrasuper nationes, et imminuam eos, ne imperent gentibus.15 Egypt wil be the most modest of kingdoms and no longer dominate other nations; for I shal reduce it,so that it will not rule other nations ever again.
16 Neque erunt ultradomui Israel in confidentiam, in memoriam revocans iniquitatem, cum sequerentureos, et scient quia ego Dominus Deus ”.16 It wil no longer be anything for the House of Israel to trust in, but wil be a reminder of the guilt whichlay in turning to it for help. And they will know that I am Lord Yahweh." '
17 Et factum est in vicesimo et septimo anno, in primo, in una mensis, factumest verbum Domini ad me dicens:17 In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of Yahweh was addressed tome as fol ows:
18 “ Fili hominis, Nabuchodonosor, rexBabylonis, servire fecit exercitum suum servitute magna adversus Tyrum; omnecaput decalvatum et omnis umerus attritus est, et merces non est reddita eineque exercitui eius de Tyro pro servitute, qua servivit adversum eam.18 'Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken his army in a great expedition against Tyre.Their heads have al gone bald, their shoulders are al chafed, but even so he has derived no profit, either forhimself or for his army, from the expedition mounted against Tyre.
19 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego dabo Nabuchodonosor, regiBabylonis, terram Aegypti, et accipiet opes eius et depraedabitur manubias eiuset diripiet spolia eius, et erit merces exercitui illius,19 Since this is so, the Lord Yahweh says this, "Look, I shall hand Egypt over to Nebuchadnezzar kingof Babylon. He wil carry off its riches, loot it, put it to the sack; that wil be the wages for his army.
20 ut stipendium eius,pro quo servivit adversum eam. Dedi ei terram Aegypti pro eo quod laboraveruntmihi, ait Dominus Deus.20 As wages for the trouble he has taken, I am giving him Egypt instead (for they have been working forme)-declares the Lord Yahweh.
21 In die illo germinare faciam cornu domui Israel, ettibi dabo apertum os in medio eorum, et scient quoniam ego Dominus ”.
21 "That day, I shall raise up a new stock for the House of Israel and al ow you to open your mouthamong them. And they wil know that I am Yahweh." '
