Guds dom over Egypten

1 Guds budskab om Egypten: Se, Herren kommer imod Egypten, ridende på en hurtig sky. Landets afguder skælver, og egypterne mister modet. 2 „Jeg skaber borgerkrig i landet, så bror kæmper mod bror, by bekæmper by, og landets provinser erklærer hinanden krig. 3 Landets ledere bliver modløse og forvirrede, så de ikke aner, hvad de skal stille op. De trygler deres afguder om visdom, de anråber de døde om indsigt ved hjælp af medier og clairvoyante. 4 Men jeg vil udlevere Egypten til en streng og grusom herre,” siger Herren, den Almægtige. 5 Nilen og dens bifloder tørrer langsomt ud, kanalerne kommer til at stinke af råddent vand, sivene og alt, hvad der gror ved floden, visner og blæser bort. 8 Fiskerne klager og sørger. Både de, der fisker med krog, og de, der fisker med net, sygner hen. 9 Der bliver hverken hør eller bomuld, for høsten har svigtet. Væverne og de ansatte arbejdere fortvivler. 11 Zoans ledere opfører sig som tåber, Faraos klogeste rådgivere bliver rådvilde. Hvad hjælper det dem at henvise til deres fornemme herkomst? 12 Hvor er nu dine vismænd, Farao? Kan de ikke fortælle dig, hvad Herren har i sinde at gøre ved Egypten? 13 Zoans ledere giver tåbelige råd, vismændene fra Memfis er ført bag lyset. Deres råd har ført Egypten til afgrundens rand. 14 Herren har taget al fornuft og dømmekraft fra dem, så de raver omkring som berusede i deres eget bræk. 15 Egyptens skæbne er beseglet. Ingen, hverken høj eller lav, kan redde landet fra undergang. 16 Til den tid vil egypterne fortvivle som kvinder, ryste og skælve for Herren den Almægtiges hånd, der er løftet til slag. 17 Blot tanken om Judas land får dem til at ryste af skræk, for de ved jo, at Herren selv har lagt planer imod dem.

En fremtidig velsignelse for Egypten, Assyrien og Israel

18 Engang vil der være fem af Egyptens byer, hvor man taler Kana’ans sprog og sværger troskab til Herren, den Almægtige. En af de byer er „Solens by”.* 19 Til den tid vil der stå et alter for Herren midt i Egypten og et monument for ham ved landets grænse som et vidnesbyrd om, at der findes gudfrygtige mennesker i Egypten. Når de derfor råber til Herren om hjælp imod deres undertrykkere, vil han sende en befrier og redde dem. 21 Da vil Herren åbenbare sig for egypterne, og de skal kende ham, ofre til ham og indfri de løfter, de aflægger til ham. 22 Herren vil straffe egypterne, men han vil også hjælpe og genoprette dem. For når de vender sig til Herren, vil han høre deres bøn og hjælpe dem. 23 Til den tid skal der gå en lige vej fra Egypten til Assyrien, og de to folk skal indgå forbund og tilbede Herren sammen. 24 Da skal Israel sammen med Egypten og Assyrien blive til velsignelse på jorden. 25 Herren vil velsigne dem med følgende ord: „Velsignet være mit folk Egypten. Velsignet være Assyrien, som jeg har skabt. Velsignet være Israel, min ejendom.”

King James Version
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 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 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 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 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 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 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 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 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. 10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish. 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 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 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 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 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 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.
