The Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 32יחזקאל 32

וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה בִּשְׁנֵי עָשָׂ֥ר חֹ֖דֶשׁ בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first of the month, the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

בֶּן אָדָ֗ם שָׂ֤א קִינָה֙ עַל פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֔יו כְּפִ֥יר גּוֹיִ֖ם נִדְמֵ֑יתָ וְאַתָּה֙ כַּתַּנִּ֣ים בַּיַּמִּ֔ים וַתָּ֣גַח בְּנַהֲרוֹתֶ֗יךָ וַתִּדְלַח מַ֨יִם֙ בְּרַגְלֶ֔יךָ וַתִּרְפֹּ֖ס נַהֲרוֹתָֽם

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, You are like a young lion of the nations, and you as a whale in the seas: and you camest forth with your rivers, and troubledst the waters with your feet, and fouledst their rivers.

כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וּפָרַשְׂתִּ֤י עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ אֶת רִשְׁתִּ֔י בִּקְהַ֖ל עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וְהֶעֱל֖וּךָ בְּחֶרְמִֽי

Thus says YHWH YHWH; I will therefore spread out my net over you with a company of many people; and they shall bring you up in my net.

וּנְטַשְׁתִּ֣יךָ בָאָ֔רֶץ עַל פְּנֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה אֲטִילֶ֑ךָ וְהִשְׁכַּנְתִּ֤י עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ כָּל ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְהִשְׂבַּעְתִּ֥י מִמְּךָ֖ חַיַּ֥ת כָּל הָאָֽרֶץ

Then will I leave you upon the land, I will cast you forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon you, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with you.

וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת בְּשָׂרְךָ֖ עַל הֶֽהָרִ֑ים וּמִלֵּאתִ֥י הַגֵּאָי֖וֹת רָמוּתֶֽךָ

And I will lay your flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

וְהִשְׁקֵיתִ֨י אֶ֧רֶץ צָפָתְךָ֛ מִדָּמְךָ֖ אֶל הֶֽהָרִ֑ים וַאֲפִקִ֖ים יִמָּלְא֥וּן מִמֶּֽךָּ

I will also water with your blood the land wherein you swimmest, to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of you.

וְכִסֵּיתִ֤י בְכַבּֽוֹתְךָ֙ שָׁמַ֔יִם וְהִקְדַּרְתִּ֖י אֶת כֹּֽכְבֵיהֶ֑ם שֶׁ֚מֶשׁ בֶּעָנָ֣ן אֲכַסֶּ֔נּוּ וְיָרֵ֖חַ לֹא יָאִ֥יר אוֹרֽוֹ

And when I shall put you out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

כָּל מְא֤וֹרֵי אוֹר֙ בַּשָּׁמַ֔יִם אַקְדִּירֵ֖ם עָלֶ֑יךָ וְנָתַ֤תִּי חֹ֨שֶׁךְ֙ עַֽל אַרְצְךָ֔ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you, and set darkness upon your land, says YHWH YHWH.

וְהִ֨כְעַסְתִּ֔י לֵ֖ב עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים בַּהֲבִיאִ֤י שִׁבְרְךָ֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם עַל אֲרָצ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא יְדַעְתָּֽם

I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

וַהֲשִׁמּוֹתִ֨י עָלֶ֜יךָ עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֗ים וּמַלְכֵיהֶם֙ יִשְׂעֲר֤וּ עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ שַׂ֔עַר בְּעוֹפְפִ֥י חַרְבִּ֖י עַל פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וְחָרְד֤וּ לִרְגָעִים֙ אִ֣ישׁ לְנַפְשׁ֔וֹ בְּי֖וֹם מַפַּלְתֶּֽךָ

Yea, I will make many people amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

כִּ֛י כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה חֶ֥רֶב מֶֽלֶךְ בָּבֶ֖ל תְּבוֹאֶֽךָ

For thus says YHWH YHWH; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.

בְּחַרְב֤וֹת גִּבּוֹרִים֙ אַפִּ֣יל הֲמוֹנֶ֔ךָ עָרִיצֵ֥י גוֹיִ֖ם כֻּלָּ֑ם וְשָֽׁדְדוּ֙ אֶת גְּא֣וֹן מִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁמַ֖ד כָּל הֲמוֹנָֽהּ

By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

וְהַֽאֲבַדְתִּי֙ אֶת כָּל בְּהֶמְתָּ֔הּ מֵעַ֖ל מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וְלֹ֨א תִדְלָחֵ֤ם רֶֽגֶל אָדָם֙ ע֔וֹד וּפַרְס֥וֹת בְּהֵמָ֖ה לֹ֥א תִדְלָחֵֽם

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

אָ֚ז אַשְׁקִ֣יעַ מֵֽימֵיהֶ֔ם וְנַהֲרוֹתָ֖ם כַּשֶּׁ֣מֶן אוֹלִ֑יךְ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה

Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says YHWH YHWH.

בְּתִתִּי֩ אֶת אֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם שְׁמָמָ֣ה וּנְשַׁמָּ֗ה אֶ֚רֶץ מִמְּלֹאָ֔הּ בְּהַכּוֹתִ֖י אֶת כָּל י֣וֹשְׁבֵי בָ֑הּ וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I YHWH.

קִינָ֥ה הִיא֙ וְק֣וֹנְנ֔וּהָ בְּנ֥וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֖ם תְּקוֹנֵ֣נָּה אוֹתָ֑הּ עַל מִצְרַ֤יִם וְעַל כָּל הֲמוֹנָהּ֙ תְּקוֹנֵ֣נָּה אוֹתָ֔הּ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה

This the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, for Egypt, and for all her multitude, says YHWH YHWH.

וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה בַּחֲמִשָּׁ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר

It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

בֶּן אָדָ֕ם נְהֵ֛ה עַל הֲמ֥וֹן מִצְרַ֖יִם וְהוֹרִדֵ֑הוּ א֠וֹתָהּ וּבְנ֨וֹת גּוֹיִ֧ם אַדִּרִ֛ם אֶל אֶ֥רֶץ תַּחְתִּיּ֖וֹת אֶת י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר

Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

מִמִּ֖י נָעָ֑מְתָּ רְדָ֥ה וְהָשְׁכְּבָ֖ה אֶת עֲרֵלִֽים

Whom dost you pass in beauty? go down, and be you laid with the uncircumcised.

בְּת֥וֹךְ חַלְלֵי חֶ֖רֶב יִפֹּ֑לוּ חֶ֣רֶב נִתָּ֔נָה מָשְׁכ֥וּ אוֹתָ֖הּ וְכָל הֲמוֹנֶֽיהָ

They shall fall in the midst of slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.

יְדַבְּרוּ ל֞וֹ אֵלֵ֧י גִבּוֹרִ֛ים מִתּ֥וֹךְ שְׁא֖וֹל אֶת עֹֽזְרָ֑יו יָֽרְד֛וּ שָׁכְב֥וּ הָעֲרֵלִ֖ים חַלְלֵי חָֽרֶב

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

שָׁ֤ם אַשּׁוּר֙ וְכָל קְהָלָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֖יו קִבְרֹתָ֑יו כֻּלָּ֣ם חֲלָלִ֔ים הַנֹּפְלִ֖ים בֶּחָֽרֶב

Asshur there and all her company: his graves about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִתְּנ֤וּ קִבְרֹתֶ֨יהָ֙ בְּיַרְכְּתֵי ב֔וֹר וַיְהִ֣י קְהָלָ֔הּ סְבִיב֖וֹת קְבֻרָתָ֑הּ כֻּלָּ֤ם חֲלָלִים֙ נֹפְלִ֣ים בַּחֶ֔רֶב אֲשֶׁר נָתְנ֥וּ חִתִּ֖ית בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים

Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.

שָׁ֤ם עֵילָם֙ וְכָל הֲמוֹנָ֔הּ סְבִיב֖וֹת קְבֻרָתָ֑הּ כֻּלָּ֣ם חֲלָלִים֩ הַנֹּפְלִ֨ים בַּחֶ֜רֶב אֲֽשֶׁר יָרְד֥וּ עֲרֵלִ֣ים אֶל אֶ֣רֶץ תַּחְתִּיּ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתְנ֤וּ חִתִּיתָם֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֔ים וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ כְלִמָּתָ֖ם אֶת י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר

There Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

בְּת֣וֹךְ חֲ֠לָלִים נָתְנ֨וּ מִשְׁכָּ֥ב לָהּ֙ בְּכָל הֲמוֹנָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֖יו קִבְרֹתֶ֑הָ כֻּלָּ֣ם עֲרֵלִ֣ים חַלְלֵי חֶ֡רֶב כִּֽי נִתַּ֨ן חִתִּיתָ֜ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֗ים וַיִּשְׂא֤וּ כְלִמָּתָם֙ אֶת י֣וֹרְדֵי ב֔וֹר בְּת֥וֹךְ חֲלָלִ֖ים נִתָּֽן

They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of slain.

שָׁ֣ם מֶ֤שֶׁךְ תֻּבַל֙ וְכָל הֲמוֹנָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֖יו קִבְרוֹתֶ֑יהָ כֻּלָּ֤ם עֲרֵלִים֙ מְחֻ֣לְלֵי חֶ֔רֶב כִּֽי נָתְנ֥וּ חִתִּיתָ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים

There Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

וְלֹ֤א יִשְׁכְּבוּ֙ אֶת גִּבּוֹרִ֔ים נֹפְלִ֖ים מֵעֲרֵלִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָרְדֽוּ שְׁא֣וֹל בִּכְלֵֽי מִלְחַמְתָּם֩ וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ אֶת חַרְבוֹתָ֜ם תַּ֣חַת רָאשֵׁיהֶ֗ם וַתְּהִ֤י עֲוֺֽנֹתָם֙ עַל עַצְמוֹתָ֔ם כִּֽי חִתִּ֥ית גִּבּוֹרִ֖ים בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים

And they shall not lie with the mighty fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

וְאַתָּ֗ה בְּת֧וֹךְ עֲרֵלִ֛ים תִּשָּׁבַ֥ר וְתִשְׁכַּ֖ב אֶת חַלְלֵי חָֽרֶב

Yea, you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with slain with the sword.

שָׁ֣מָּה אֱד֗וֹם מְלָכֶ֨יהָ֙ וְכָל נְשִׂיאֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁר נִתְּנ֥וּ בִגְבוּרָתָ֖ם אֶת חַלְלֵי חָ֑רֶב הֵ֛מָּה אֶת עֲרֵלִ֥ים יִשְׁכָּ֖בוּ וְאֶת יֹ֥רְדֵי בֽוֹר

There Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

שָׁ֣מָּה נְסִיכֵ֥י צָפ֛וֹן כֻּלָּ֖ם וְכָל צִֽדֹנִ֑י אֲשֶׁר יָרְד֣וּ אֶת חֲלָלִ֗ים בְּחִתִּיתָ֤ם מִגְבֽוּרָתָם֙ בּוֹשִׁ֔ים וַיִּשְׁכְּב֤וּ עֲרֵלִים֙ אֶת חַלְלֵי חֶ֔רֶב וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ כְלִמָּתָ֖ם אֶת י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר

There the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

אוֹתָם֙ יִרְאֶ֣ה פַרְעֹ֔ה וְנִחַ֖ם עַל כָּל המונה הֲמוֹנ֑וֹ חַלְלֵי חֶ֨רֶב֙ פַּרְעֹ֣ה וְכָל חֵיל֔וֹ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה

Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, says YHWH YHWH.

כִּֽי נָתַ֥תִּי אֶת חתיתו חִתִּיתִ֖י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֑ים וְהֻשְׁכַּב֩ בְּת֨וֹךְ עֲרֵלִ֜ים אֶת חַלְלֵי חֶ֗רֶב פַּרְעֹה֙ וְכָל הֲמוֹנֹ֔ה נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה

For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with slain with the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, says YHWH YHWH.
