di Società Biblica di Ginevra1La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:2«Figlio d’uomo, profetizza e di’: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Urlate: ‘Ahi, che giorno!’3Poiché il giorno è vicino, è vicino il giorno del Signore: giorno di nuvole, il tempo delle nazioni.4La spada verrà sull’Egitto; vi sarà terrore in Etiopia, quando in Egitto cadranno i feriti a morte, quando si porteranno via le sue ricchezze e le sue fondamenta saranno distrutte.5L’Etiopia, la Libia, la Lidia, gli stranieri di ogni specie, Cub e i figli del paese dell’alleanza cadranno con loro di spada”.6Così parla il Signore: “Quelli che sostengono l’Egitto cadranno e l’orgoglio della sua forza sarà abbattuto: da Migdol a Siene essi cadranno di spada”, dice il Signore, Dio,7“e saranno desolati in mezzo a terre desolate; le loro città saranno devastate in mezzo a città devastate;8e conosceranno che io sono il Signore, quando darò fuoco all’Egitto e tutti i suoi aiutanti saranno battuti.9In quel giorno, dalla mia presenza partiranno messaggeri su navi per spaventare l’Etiopia, che si ritiene al sicuro, e regnerà tra di loro il terrore come nel giorno dell’Egitto; poiché, ecco, la cosa sta per avvenire”.10Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Io farò sparire la moltitudine dell’Egitto per mano di Nabucodonosor, re di Babilonia.11Egli e il suo popolo con lui, i più violenti fra le nazioni, saranno condotti a distruggere il paese; sguaineranno le spade contro l’Egitto e riempiranno il paese di cadaveri.12Io muterò i fiumi in luoghi aridi, darò il paese in balìa di gente malvagia, per mano di stranieri desolerò il paese e tutto ciò che contiene. Io, il Signore, ho parlato”.13Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Io sterminerò da Nof[1] gli idoli, ne farò sparire i falsi dèi; non ci sarà più principe che venga dal paese d’Egitto e metterò lo spavento nel paese d’Egitto.14Desolerò Patros, darò alle fiamme Soan, eseguirò i miei giudizi su No[2],15riverserò il mio furore sopra Sin, la fortezza d’Egitto, e sterminerò la moltitudine di No.16Darò fuoco all’Egitto; Sin si torcerà dal dolore, No sarà squarciata, Nof sarà presa da nemici in pieno giorno.17I giovani di Aven e di Pibeset cadranno di spada e queste città saranno deportate.18A Tapanes il giorno si oscurerà, quando io vi spezzerò i gioghi imposti dall’Egitto; e l’orgoglio della sua forza avrà fine. Quanto a lei, una nuvola la coprirà e le sue figlie saranno deportate.19Così eseguirò i miei giudizi sull’Egitto e si conoscerà che io sono il Signore”».20L’anno undicesimo, il primo mese, il settimo giorno del mese, la parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:21«Figlio d’uomo, io ho spezzato il braccio del faraone, re d’Egitto; ed ecco, il suo braccio non è stato fasciato perché fosse curato, né è stato fasciato perché fosse rafforzato così da poter maneggiare la spada.22Perciò, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Eccomi contro il faraone, re d’Egitto, per spezzargli le braccia, tanto quello che è ancora forte, quanto quello che è già spezzato; e gli farò cadere di mano la spada.23Disperderò gli Egiziani fra le nazioni, li disseminerò per tutti i paesi.24Rafforzerò le braccia del re di Babilonia, gli metterò in mano la mia spada e spezzerò le braccia del faraone. Egli gemerà davanti a lui, come geme un uomo ferito a morte.25Rafforzerò le braccia del re di Babilonia e le braccia del faraone cadranno; e si conoscerà che io sono il Signore, quando metterò la mia spada in mano al re di Babilonia ed egli la volgerà contro il paese d’Egitto.26Io disperderò gli Egiziani fra le nazioni, li disseminerò per tutti i paesi; e si conoscerà che io sono il Signore”».

(Ger 27,6)25Und ich stärke die Arme des Königs von Babel, aber die Arme des Pharao werden sinken.

1The word of the Lord came to me:2“Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’ (Is 13,6; Ez 2,1)3For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for[1] the nations. (Ez 7,7; Ez 7,12; Ez 30,2; Ez 34,12; Gioe 1,15; Gioe 2,1; So 1,7)4A sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Cush, when the slain fall in Egypt, and her wealth[2] is carried away, and her foundations are torn down. (Is 21,3; Is 43,3; Ez 29,8; Ez 29,19; Ez 30,6)5Cush, and Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya,[3] and the people of the land that is in league,[4] shall fall with them by the sword. (Ger 25,20; Ez 27,10; Ez 30,4)6“Thus says the Lord: Those who support Egypt shall fall, and her proud might shall come down; from Migdol to Syene they shall fall within her by the sword, declares the Lord God. (Ez 29,10; Ez 30,18; Ez 32,21; Ez 33,28)7And they shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries, and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste. (Ez 29,12)8Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have set fire to Egypt, and all her helpers are broken. (Ez 6,7; Ez 28,18; Ez 29,6; Ez 30,6)9“On that day messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting people of Cush, and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom;[5] for, behold, it comes! (Is 18,1; Ez 30,4)10“Thus says the Lord God: “I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. (Ez 29,19)11He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land, and they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. (Ez 28,7; Ez 30,4)12And I will dry up the Nile and will sell the land into the hand of evildoers; I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it, by the hand of foreigners; I am the Lord; I have spoken. (Is 19,4; Is 19,5; Ez 17,24; Ez 28,7; Ez 29,3; Ez 29,10)13“Thus says the Lord God: “I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis; there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt; so I will put fear in the land of Egypt. (Is 19,13; Is 19,16; Ger 43,12; Ez 29,15; Zac 10,11)14I will make Pathros a desolation and will set fire to Zoan and will execute judgments on Thebes. (Nu 13,22; Is 11,11; Ger 46,25; Ez 29,14; Ez 30,19)15And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude[6] of Thebes.16And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall be in great agony; Thebes shall be breached, and Memphis shall face enemies[7] by day. (Ez 30,13)17The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword, and the women[8] shall go into captivity.18At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark, when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt, and her proud might shall come to an end in her; she shall be covered by a cloud, and her daughters shall go into captivity. (Ger 2,16; Ger 15,9; Ez 30,6; Am 8,9)19Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” (Ez 6,7; Ez 30,14)
Egypt Shall Fall to Babylon
20In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: (Ez 20,1)21“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword. (Ger 30,13; Ger 46,11; Ger 48,25; Ez 2,1)22Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand. (Ez 30,21)23I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. (Ez 29,12)24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded. (Giob 24,12; Ez 21,3; Ez 30,10)25I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. (Ez 6,7; Ez 30,8)26And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,2Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!3For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.4And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.5Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.6Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.7And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.8And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.9In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.10Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.11He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.12And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it .13Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.14And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.15And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.16And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.17The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.18At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.19Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.20And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month , in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.22Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh' arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man .25But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.26And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
