Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: “I am your enemy, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt — you great monster, lurking in the streams of the Nile. For you have said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it for myself.’
I will leave you and all your fish stranded in the wilderness to die. You will lie unburied on the open ground, for I have given you as food to the wild animals and birds.
Я брошу тебя в пустыню — тебя и рыбу из твоих рек. Ты упадешь в открытом поле — не подберут тебя, не поднимут. Я отдам тебя в пищу земному зверью и небесным птицам.
When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you collapsed, and her legs gave way.
The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD. “Because you said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it,’
I am now the enemy of both you and your river. I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland, from Migdol to Aswan, as far south as the border of Ethiopia.b
I will make Egypt desolate, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. Its cities will be empty and desolate for forty years, surrounded by other ruined cities. I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands.
Я сделаю землю Египта пустыней среди опустошенных земель, и ее города будут безлюдными среди опустевших городов сорок лет. Я рассею египтян между другими народами и развею их по чужим землям.
“But this is what the Sovereign LORD also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered.
I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back to the land of Pathros in southern Egypt from which they came. But Egypt will remain an unimportant, minor kingdom.
“Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help. Egypt’s shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she was to trust Egypt in earlier days. Then Israel will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.”
Египет больше не будет опорой для дома Израиля; он будет напоминанием людям о грехе, который они совершили, обращаясь к нему за помощью. Тогда они узнают, что Я — Владыка Господь.
“Son of man, the army of King Nebuchadnezzard of Babylon fought so hard against Tyre that the warriors’ heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders were raw and blistered. Yet Nebuchadnezzar and his army won no plunder to compensate them for all their work.
— Сын человеческий, Навуходоносор, царь Вавилона, заставил свое войско немало потрудиться под Тиром: все головы оплешивели, все плечи натерты от непосильного труда. Но ни он, ни его войско ничего не получили от Тира в уплату за труды.
Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. He will carry off its wealth, plundering everything it has so he can pay his army.
Поэтому так говорит Владыка Господь: Я отдам Навуходоносору, царю Вавилона, землю Египта, и он захватит ее богатства. Он оберет и разграбит ее, чтобы заплатить войску.
“And the day will come when I will cause the ancient glory of Israel to revive,e and then, Ezekiel, your words will be respected. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
