An Oracle Concerning Egypt

1 An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. 2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom; 3 and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound* their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers; 4 and I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the Lord God of hosts. 5 And the waters of the sea will be dried up, and the river will be dry and parched, 6 and its canals will become foul, and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up, reeds and rushes will rot away. 7 There will be bare places by the Nile, on the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile will be parched, will be driven away, and will be no more. 8 The fishermen will mourn and lament, all who cast a hook in the Nile; and they will languish who spread nets on the water. 9 The workers in combed flax will be in despair, and the weavers of white cotton. 10 Those who are the pillars of the land will be crushed, and all who work for pay will be grieved. 11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”? 12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt. 13 The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis are deluded; those who are the cornerstones of her tribes have made Egypt stagger. 14 The Lord has mingled within her a spirit of confusion, and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 And there will be nothing for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.

Egypt, Assyria, Israel Blessed

16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them. 17 And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the Lord of hosts has purposed against them. 18 In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.* 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. 21 And the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them. 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. 24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, 25 whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

Acerca de Egipto

1 Carga de Egipto. ¡Mirad, YHVH cabalgando en nube veloz entra en Egipto! Ante Él se tambalean los ídolos de Egipto, El corazón de los egipcios se derrite en ellos. 2 Incitaré a egipcios contra egipcios, Cada uno peleará contra su hermano Y cada uno contra su prójimo: Ciudad contra ciudad y reino contra reino. 3 El espíritu de Egipto se trastornará dentro de sí, y destruiré sus planes. Consultarán a ídolos y a hechiceros, A nigromantes y adivinos. 4 Entregaré a Egipto en mano de un amo cruel, Un rey fiero los dominará, dice el Soberano, YHVH Sebaot. 5 Las aguas del Nilo se secarán, El río quedará seco y árido; 6 Los canales apestarán, El Delta de Masor menguará, Y las cañas y los juncos se marchitarán. 7 Los prados de la ribera del Nilo Y todo sembradío junto al Nilo se secarán, se perderán, y desaparecerán. 8 Los pescadores se lamentarán, Todos los que echan anzuelo en el Nilo harán duelo, Y los que extienden su red sobre las aguas desfallecerán. 9 Los que urden el lino cardado serán confundidos, Y los que tejen el lino fino palidecerán. 10 Los amos estarán consternados, Los jornaleros, apesadumbrados. 11 Necios son ciertamente los príncipes de Zoán, Los sabios de Faraón han dado un desatinado consejo. ¿Cómo diréis al sabio Faraón: Soy discípulo de sabios, discípulo de antiguos reyes? 12 ¿Dónde están tus sabios? ¡Que te digan ahora y te hagan saber lo que YHVH Sebaot resolvió sobre Egipto! 13 Necios son los príncipes de Zoán, Los príncipes de Nof han sido engañados; Los caudillos de sus tribus han hecho extraviar a Egipto. 14 YHVH ha infundido en ellos un espíritu de vértigo: Como el borracho da traspiés vomitando, Sus consejeros descarrían a Egipto en todas sus empresas. 15 Nada de lo que hagan aprovechará a Egipto, Sean cabeza o cola, palma o junco. 16 Aquel día los egipcios serán como las mujeres: Temblarán y estarán aterrorizados por la mano que YHVH Sebaot habrá alzado contra ellos. 17 Judea será espanto para Egipto; Su sola mención le producirá terror, Por el designio que YHVH Sebaot ha determinado contra Egipto. 18 Aquel día habrá cinco ciudades en la tierra de Egipto, Que hablarán la lengua de Canaán, Y jurarán por YHVH Sebaot, Y una de ellas será llamada Ciudad Herez. 19 Aquel día habrá un altar para YHVH en medio de la tierra de Egipto, Y un monumento a YHVH junto a su frontera. 20 Será señal y testimonio de YHVH Sebaot en la tierra de Egipto. Cuando clamen a YHVH a causa de su opresor, Él les enviará un salvador y defensor para librarlos. 21 Aquel día YHVH se dará a conocer en Egipto, Y los egipcios conocerán a YHVH. Sí, presentarán sacrificios y ofrendas vegetales, Y harán votos a YHVH, y los cumplirán. 22 YHVH herirá a Egipto, lo herirá y lo sanará, Y ellos se convertirán a YHVH, Y Él les será propicio y los sanará. 23 Aquel día habrá una calzada de Egipto a Asiria; Los asirios entrarán en Egipto y los egipcios en Asiria. Entonces los egipcios y los asirios servirán juntos. 24 Aquel día Israel será tercero con Egipto y con Asiria, Para bendición en medio de la tierra, 25 Porque YHVH Sebaot los habrá bendecido, diciendo: ¡Bendito sea mi pueblo, Egipto, Y Asiria, obra de mis manos, Y mi heredad, Israel!
