1In year eleven, in the twelfth month, in the first of the month, the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 2“Son of man, lament a lamentation for Pharaoh King of Egypt, and say to him: ‘You are compared to a lion of the nations, and you are like a dragon of the seas. You thrust through your rivers and you agitated the waters with your feet, and you trampled their rivers 3Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: Behold, I spread my net upon you with a multitude of many nations, and they shall bring you up in my net 4And I shall throw you on the ground, and upon the face of the field I shall destroy you, and every bird of the sky shall perch upon you and every animal of the Earth shall be filled from you 5And I shall cast your flesh on the mountains and the valleys will be filled with your worms 6And I shall give drink to the land of your Seers from your blood, and the mountains and the valleys will be full of you 7And I shall cover Heaven by extinguishing you, and I shall darken their stars, and the sun will be concealed in a cloud and the moon will not shine its light 8And all lights that give light in Heaven I shall darken over you, and I shall make darkness in your land, says THE LORD OF LORDS 9And I shall anger the heart of the many nations, whenever I have brought your ruin among the nations and in the cities that you do not know 10And I shall stupefy the many nations by you, and their Kings shall be afraid whenever I flash my sword against their faces, and they shall be afraid, and they shall be terrified, each man in his soul, in the day of your collapse 11Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘The sword of the King of Babel will come upon you 12By the sword of mighty men I shall throw down your might, and of all the strong ones of the nations, and they shall plunder the strength of Egypt, and all its wealth shall be plundered 13And I shall destroy his cattle from the many waters, and the foot of a son of man shall not trouble them again, neither a hoof cattle 14Then I shall calm their waters and their rivers shall flow like oil, says THE LORD OF LORDS 15Whenever I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, and the land in its fullness shall be desolate, when I have struck all its inhabitants, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 16This is the lamentation, and the daughters of the Gentiles lament over Egypt, and over all its wealth they shall lament, says THE LORD OF LORDS 17In the year eleven, in fifteenth in the month, the word of LORD JEHOVAH was against me, saying: 18“Son of man, lament a lamentation over the army of Egypt, and I shall bring it down with the house of the strong nations to lower Earth, with the descenders to the pit 19Come down from the sweet waters, and lie down with the uncircumcised 20And with the slain of the sword they shall fall, and they shall drag him away, and all his army 21The Rulers of the Gentiles shall speak with their young men from within Sheol, and they shall go down, and the uncircumcised shall sleep with the slain of the sword 22There is Assyria, and all her multitude around her grave are all the slain who fell by the sword 23They had made her grave on the outskirts of the pit, and her multitude around her grave were all the slain who fell by the sword, because they had caused ruin in the land of life 24There are Ilam and all her army around her grave, all of them slain who fell by the sword, and they went down uncircumcised to the lower Earth, because they had caused ruin in the land of life, and they bore their shame with the descenders to the pit 25And among the slain they have made for her a couch in the midst of her army, and all of the uncircumcised surround her grave who were killed by the sword, because they had caused ruin in the land of life, and they bore their shame with those going down to the pit, and they are numbered among the slain 26There are Meshek and Tubil and all her army around her grave, all of the uncircumcised who were murdered by the sword, because they had caused ruin in the land of life 27They shall not lie down with the Giants who are The Fallen Ones of the uncircumcised, who descended to Sheol with the armaments of their war, and they placed their swords under their heads, and their evil was on their bones, because they had caused ruin by their might in the land of life 28But you shall lie down among the uncircumcised, and you shall sleep with those slain by the sword 29There is Edum and her Kings and all her great ones who were numbered in their might with those killed by the sword. They shall sleep with the uncircumcised, and with those descending to the pit 30There are the Rulers of the north and all the Tsidonians who descended with those killed by the sword, when they were ashamed and were overthrown from their might, and the uncircumcised have slept with those killed by the sword, and they bore their shame with those going down to the pit 31These shall see Pharaoh and shall be comforted over all his army, those killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his army, says THE LORD OF LORDS 32For I have caused his ruin in the land of life, and I shall make him sleep among the uncircumcised with those killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his army, says THE LORD OF LORDS The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
