1فِي السَّنَةِ الْعَاشِرَةِ فِي الثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ،2يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، اجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا.3تَكَلَّمْ وَقُلْ، هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَئَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، التِّمْسَاحُ الْكَبِيرُ الرَّابِضُ فِي وَسَطِ أَنْهَارِهِ، الَّذِي قَالَ، نَهْرِي لِي وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي.4فَأَجْعَلُ خَزَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ وَأُلْزِقُ سَمَكَ أَنْهَارِكَ بِحَرْشَفِكَ، وَأُطْلِعُكَ مِنْ وَسَطِ أَنْهَارِكَ وَكُلُّ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ مُلْزَقٌ بِحَرْشَفِكَ.5وَأَتْرُكُكَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعَ سَمَكِ أَنْهَارِكَ. عَلَى وَجْهِ الْحَقْلِ تَسْقُطُ فَلاَ تُجْمَعُ وَلاَ تُلَمُّ. بَذَلْتُكَ طَعَاماً لِوُحُوشِ الْبَرِّ وَلِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ.6وَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ مِصْرَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَوْنِهِمْ عُكَّازَ قَصَبٍ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.7عِنْدَ مَسْكِهِمْ بِكَ بِالْكَفِّ انْكَسَرْتَ وَمَزَّقْتَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ كَتِفٍ، وَلَمَّا تَوَكَّأُوا عَلَيْكَ انْكَسَرْتَ وَقَلْقَلْتَ كُلَّ مُتُونِهِمْ.8لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَئَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ سَيْفاً، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْكَ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْحَيَوَانَ.9وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً وَخَرِبَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ لأَنَّهُ قَالَ، النَّهْرُ لِي وَأَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ.10لِذَلِكَ هَئَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَنْهَارِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ خِرَباً خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً مِنْ مَجْدَلَ إِلَى أَسْوَانَ إِلَى تُخُمِ كُوشَ.11لاَ تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلاَ تَمُرُّ فِيهَا رِجْلُ بَهِيمَةٍ، وَلاَ تُسْكَنُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.12وَأَجْعَلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ مُقْفِرَةً فِي وَسَطِ الأَرَاضِي الْمُقْفِرَةِ، وَمُدُنَهَا فِي وَسَطِ الْمُدُنِ الْخَرِبَةِ تَكُونُ مُقْفِرَةً أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَأُشَتِّتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي الأَرَاضِي.13لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، عِنْدَ نَهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَجْمَعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا بَيْنَهُمْ14وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ فَتْرُوسَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلاَدِهِمْ، وَيَكُونُونَ هُنَاكَ مَمْلَكَةً حَقِيرَةً.15تَكُونُ أَحْقَرَ الْمَمَالِكِ فَلاَ تَرْتَفِعُ بَعْدُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، وَأُقَلِّلُهُمْ لِكَيْلاَ يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى الأُمَمِ.16فَلاَ تَكُونُ بَعْدُ مُعْتَمَداً لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُذَكِّرَةَ الإِثْمِ بِانْصِرَافِهِمْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.17وَكَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ أَنَّ كَلاَمَ الرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ،18يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ اسْتَخْدَمَ جَيْشَهُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً عَلَى صُورَ. كُلُّ رَأْسٍ قَرِعَ، وَكُلُّ كَتِفٍ تَجَرَّدَتْ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ وَلاَ لِجَيْشِهِ أُجْرَةٌ مِنْ صُورَ لأَجْلِ خِدْمَتِهِ الَّتِي خَدَمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا.19لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَئَنَذَا أَبْذِلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لِنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَأْخُذُ ثَرْوَتَهَا وَيَغْنَمُ غَنِيمَتَهَا وَيَنْهَبُ نَهْبَهَا فَتَكُونُ أُجْرَةً لِجَيْشِهِ.20قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ لأَجْلِ شُغْلِهِ الَّذِي خَدَمَ بِهِ لأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا لأَجْلِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.21فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أُنْبِتُ قَرْناً لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَأَجْعَلُ لَكَ فَتْحَ الْفَمِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.
1In the tenth year, in the tenth month , in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:3Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.4But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.5And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.6And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.7When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.9And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it .10Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.11No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.12And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.13Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:14And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.15It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.16And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.17And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month , in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,18Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:19Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.20I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.21In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
