1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis : factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :1 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Fili hominis, assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum : Leoni gentium assimilatus es,
et draconi qui est in mari :
et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis,
et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis,
et conculcabas flumina earum.
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: You are like the lion of the Gentiles, and like the dragon that is in the sea. And you brandished a horn among your rivers, and you disturbed the waters with your feet, and you trampled upon their rivers.
3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum,
et extraham te in sagena mea.
3 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: I will spread my net over you, with the multitude of many peoples, and I will draw you into my dragnet.
4 Et projiciam te in terram ;
super faciem agri abjiciam te :
et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia cæli,
et saturabo de te bestias universæ terræ.
4 And I will throw you upon the land. I will cast you upon the surface of the field. And I will cause all the birds of the air to live upon you. And I will satiate the beasts of the entire earth with you.
5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes,
et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.
5 And I will place your flesh upon the mountains. And I will fill up your hills with your decaying flesh.
6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes,
et valles implebuntur ex te.
6 And I will irrigate the earth with your rotting blood upon the mountains. And the valleys will be filled with you.
7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum,
et nigrescere faciam stellas ejus :
solem nube tegam,
et luna non dabit lumen suum.
7 And I will cover heaven, when you will have been extinguished. And I will cause its stars to grow dark. I will shroud the sun with gloom, and the moon will not give her light.
8 Omnia luminaria cæli mœrere faciam super te,
et dabo tenebras super terram tuam,
dicit Dominus Deus,
cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terræ,
ait Dominus Deus.
8 I will cause all the lights of heaven to grieve over you. And I will bring darkness upon your land, says the Lord God, when your wounded will have fallen in the midst of the land, says the Lord God.
9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum,
cum induxero contritionem tuam in gentibus super terras quas nescis.
9 And I will provoke the heart of many peoples to anger, when I will have led in your destruction among the Gentiles, over the lands that you have not known.
10 Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos,
et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te,
cum volare cœperit gladius meus super facies eorum :
et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinæ tuæ.
10 And I will cause many peoples to be stupefied over you. And their kings will be afraid, with great horror, over you, when my sword will begin to fly above their faces. And suddenly, they will be struck with astonishment, each one concerning his own life, on the day of their ruination.
11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi.
11 For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon will come to you.
12 In gladiis fortium dejiciam multitudinem tuam :
inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ,
et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti,
et dissipabitur multitudo ejus.
12 By the swords of the strong, I will cast down your multitude. All these nations are invincible, and they will lay waste to the arrogance of Egypt, and so its multitude will be destroyed.
13 Et perdam omnia jumenta ejus,
quæ erant super aquas plurimas :
et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra,
neque ungula jumentorum turbabit eas.
13 And I will perish all its cattle, which were above the many waters. And the foot of man will no longer disturb them, and the hoof of cattle will no longer trouble them.
14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum,
et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam,
ait Dominus Deus,
14 Then I will cause their waters to be very pure, and their rivers to be like oil, says the Lord God,
15 cum dedero terram Ægypti desolatam :
deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua
quando percussero omnes habitatores ejus :
et scient quia ego Dominus.
15 when I will have set the land of Egypt in desolation. And the land will be deprived of her plenitude, when I will have struck all its inhabitants. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
16 Planctus est, et plangent eum :
filiæ gentium plangent eum :
super Ægyptum et super multitudinem ejus plangent eum,
ait Dominus Deus.
16 This is the lamentation. And they shall lament it. The daughters of the Gentiles shall lament it. They shall lament it over Egypt and over its multitude, says the Lord God.”
17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis : factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :17 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
18 Fili hominis, cane lugubre super multitudinem Ægypti :
et detrahe eam ipsam, et filias gentium robustarum, ad terram ultimam,
cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
18 “Son of man, sing mournfully over the multitude of Egypt. And cast her down, both her and the daughters of the robust nations, to the lowest part of the earth, with those who descend into the pit.
19 Quo pulchrior es ?
descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.
19 Whom do you exceed in beauty? Descend and sleep with the uncircumcised!
20 In medio interfectorum gladio cadent ;
gladius datus est :
attraxerunt eam et omnes populos ejus.
20 They will fall by the sword in the midst of the slain. The sword has been given. They have dragged her down, with all her people.
21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni,
qui cum auxiliatoribus ejus descenderunt,
et dormierunt incircumcisi interfecti gladio.
21 The most powerful among the strong will speak to him from the midst of hell, those who descended with his helpers and who went to sleep uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo ejus :
in circuitu illius sepulchra ejus,
omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.
22 Assur is in that place, with all his multitude. Their graves are all around him: all of the slain and those who fell by the sword.
23 Quorum data sunt sepulchra in novissimis laci,
et facta est multitudo ejus per gyrum sepulchri ejus :
universi interfecti, cadentesque gladio,
qui dederant quondam formidinem in terra viventium.
23 Their graves have been placed in the lowest parts of the pit. And his multitude was stationed on all sides of his grave: all of the slain, and those who fell by the sword, who formerly spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Ibi Ælam, et omnis multitudo ejus per gyrum sepulchri sui :
omnes hi interfecti, ruentesque gladio,
qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam ;
qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium,
et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
24 Elam is in that place, with all his multitude, on all sides of his grave, all those who were slain or who fell by the sword, who descended uncircumcised to the lowest part of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
25 In medio interfectorum
posuerunt cubile ejus in universis populis ejus :
in circuitu ejus sepulchrum illius :
omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique gladio.
Dederunt enim terrorem suum in terra viventium,
et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum :
in medio interfectorum positi sunt.
25 They have appointed him a place to lie among all his people, in the midst of the slain. Their graves are all around him. All these are uncircumcised and were slain by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit. They have been stationed in the midst of the slain.
26 Ibi Mosoch et Thubal, et omnis multitudo ejus :
in circuitu ejus sepulchra illius :
omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique et cadentes gladio,
quia dederunt formidinem suam in terra viventium.
26 Meshech and Tubal are in that place, with all their multitude. Their graves are all around him: all these are uncircumcised, and they were slain and fell by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 Et non dormient cum fortibus,
cadentibusque, et incircumcisis,
qui descenderunt ad infernum cum armis suis,
et posuerunt gladios suos sub capitibus suis,
et fuerunt iniquitates eorum in ossibus eorum :
quia terror fortium facti sunt in terra viventium.
27 But they shall not sleep with the strong, and with those who also fell uncircumcised, who descended to hell with their weapons, and who placed their swords under their heads, while their iniquities were in their bones. For they were the terror of the strong in the land of the living.
28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris,
et dormies cum interfectis gladio.
28 Therefore, you also will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and you will sleep with those who were slain by the sword.
29 Ibi Idumæa, et reges ejus, et omnes duces ejus,
qui dati sunt cum exercitu suo cum interfectis gladio,
et qui cum incircumcisis dormierunt,
et cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
29 Idumea is in that place, with her kings and all her commanders, who with their army have been given to those who were slain by the sword. And they have slept with the uncircumcised and with those who descend into the pit.
30 Ibi principes aquilonis omnes, et universi venatores,
qui deducti sunt cum interfectis, paventes,
et in sua fortitudine confusi :
qui dormierunt incircumcisi
cum interfectis gladio,
et portaverunt confusionem suam
cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
30 All the leaders of the north are in that place, with all the hunters, who were brought down with the slain, fearful and confounded in their strength, who have gone to sleep uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
31 Vidit eos Pharao, et consolatus est
super universa multitudine sua,
quæ interfecta est gladio :
Pharao, et omnis exercitus ejus,
ait Dominus Deus.
31 Pharaoh saw them, and he was consoled over all his multitude, which was slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord God.
32 Quia dedi terrorem meum in terra viventium,
et dormivit in medio incircumcisorum cum interfectis gladio :
Pharao, et omnis multitudo ejus,
ait Dominus Deus.
32 For I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he has gone to sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
