نبوءة عن مصر | |
| 1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ مِصْرَ: هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى سَحَابَةٍ سَرِيعَةٍ وَقَادِمٌ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَتَرْتَجِفُ أَوْثَانُ مِصْرَ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَيَذُوبُ قَلْبُ مِصْرَ دَاخِلَهَا. | 1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. |
|
| 2 وَأُهَيِّجُ مِصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى مِصْرِيِّينَ، فَيُحَارِبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ: مَدِينَةٌ مَدِينَةً، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ مَمْلَكَةً. | 2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. |
|
3 وَتُهْرَاقُ رُوحُ مِصْرَ دَاخِلَهَا، وَأُفْنِي مَشُورَتَهَا، فَيَسْأَلُونَ الأَوْثَانَ وَالْعَازِفِينَ وَأَصْحَابَ التَّوَابعِ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ.  | 3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. |
|
| 4 وَأُغْلِقُ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي يَدِ مَوْلًى قَاسٍ، فَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلِكٌ عَزِيزٌ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. | 4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. |
|
| 5 وَتُنَشَّفُ الْمِيَاهُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ، وَيَجِفُّ النَّهْرُ وَيَيْبَسُ. | 5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. |
|
| 6 وَتُنْتِنُ الأَنْهَارُ، وَتَضْعُفُ وَتَجِفُّ سَوَاقِي مِصْرَ، وَيَتْلَفُ الْقَصَبُ وَالأَسَلُ. | 6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. |
|
| 7 وَالرِّيَاضُ عَلَى النِّيلِ عَلَى حَافَةِ النِّيلِ، وَكُلُّ مَزْرَعَةٍ عَلَى النِّيلِ تَيْبَسُ وَتَتَبَدَّدُ وَلاَ تَكُونُ. | 7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. |
|
| 8 وَالصَّيَّادُونَ يَئِنُّونَ، وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ يُلْقُونَ شِصًّا فِي النِّيلِ يَنُوحُونَ. وَالَّذِينَ يَبْسُطُونَ شَبَكَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ يَحْزَنُونَ، | 8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. |
|
| 9 وَيَخْزَى الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الْكَتَّانَ الْمُمَشَّطَ، وَالَّذِينَ يَحِيكُونَ الأَنْسِجَةَ الْبَيْضَاءَ. | 9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. |
|
| 10 وَتَكُونُ عُمُدُهَا مَسْحُوقَةً، وَكُلُّ الْعَامِلِينَ بِالأُجْرَةِ مُكْتَئِبِي النَّفْسِ. | 10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish. |
|
| 11 إِنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ صُوعَنَ أَغْبِيَاءُ! حُكَمَاءُ مُشِيرِي فِرْعَوْنَ مَشُورَتُهُمْ بَهِيمِيَّةٌ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «أَنَا ابْنُ حُكَمَاءَ، ابْنُ مُلُوكٍ قُدَمَاءَ»؟ | 11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? |
|
| 12 فَأَيْنَ هُمْ حُكَمَاؤُكَ؟ فَلْيُخْبِرُوكَ. لِيَعْرِفُوا مَاذَا قَضَى بِهِ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ عَلَى مِصْرَ. | 12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. |
|
| 13 رُؤَسَاءُ صُوعَنَ صَارُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ. رُؤَسَاءُ نُوفَ انْخَدَعُوا. وَأَضَلَّ مِصْرَ وُجُوهُ أَسْبَاطِهَا. | 13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. |
|
| 14 مَزَجَ الرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِهَا رُوحَ غَيٍّ، فَأَضَلُّوا مِصْرَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِهَا، كَتَرَنُّحِ السَّكْرَانِ فِي قَيْئِهِ. | 14 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. |
|
| 15 فَلاَ يَكُونُ لِمِصْرَ عَمَلٌ يَعْمَلُهُ رَأْسٌ أَوْ ذَنَبٌ، نَخْلَةٌ أَوْ أَسَلَةٌ. | 15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. |
|
| 16 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَكُونُ مِصْرُ كَالنِّسَاءِ، فَتَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْجُفُ مِنْ هَزَّةِ يَدِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ الَّتِي يَهُزُّهَا عَلَيْهَا. | 16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it. |
|
| 17 وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ يَهُوذَا رُعْبًا لِمِصْرَ. كُلُّ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَهَا يَرْتَعِبُ مِنْ أَمَامِ قَضَاءِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ الَّذِي يَقْضِي بِهِ عَلَيْهَا. | 17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it. |
|
| 18 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ خَمْسُ مُدُنٍ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَةِ كَنْعَانَ وَتَحْلِفُ لِرَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، يُقَالُ لإِحْدَاهَا «مَدِينَةُ الشَّمْسِ». | 18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. |
|
| 19 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ مَذْبَحٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَعَمُودٌ لِلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ تُخْمِهَا. | 19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. |
|
| 20 فَيَكُونُ عَلاَمَةً وَشَهَادَةً لِرَبِّ الْجُنُودِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. لأَنَّهُمْ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِسَبَبِ الْمُضَايِقِينَ، فَيُرْسِلُ لَهُمْ مُخَلِّصًا وَمُحَامِيًا وَيُنْقِذُهُمْ. | 20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. |
|
| 21 فَيُعْرَفُ الرَّبُّ فِي مِصْرَ، وَيَعْرِفُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ الرَّبَّ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَيُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبِيحَةً وَتَقْدِمَةً، وَيَنْذُرُونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْرًا وَيُوفُونَ بِهِ. | 21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it. |
|
| 22 وَيَضْرِبُ الرَّبُّ مِصْرَ ضَارِبًا فَشَافِيًا، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ وَيَشْفِيهِمْ. | 22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. |
|
| 23 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَكُونُ سِكَّةٌ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، فَيَجِيءُ الأَشُّورِيُّونَ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَالْمِصْرِيُّونَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، وَيَعْبُدُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ مَعَ الأَشُّورِيِّينَ. | 23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. |
|
| 24 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثُلُثًا لِمِصْرَ وَلأَشُّورَ، بَرَكَةً فِي الأَرْضِ، | 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: |
|
| 25 بِهَا يُبَارِكُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ قَائِلاً: «مُبَارَكٌ شَعْبِي مِصْرُ، وَعَمَلُ يَدَيَّ أَشُّورُ، وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلُ». | 25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. |
