¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹V desetem letu, dvanajsti dan desetega meseca, mi je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

²Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

²Sin človečji, obrni obličje proti Faraonu, kralju v Egiptu, in prorokuj zoper njega in zoper ves Egipt,

³Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

³govori in reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, Faraon, kralj egiptovski, veliki zmaj, ki ležiš sredi svojih rek, ki si rekel: Moja reka je moja in jaz sem jo sebi naredil.

⁴But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

⁴A denem ti trnek v čeljusti in storim, da se prilepijo ribe tvojih rek tebi na luskine, in izvlečem te gori iz rek tvojih z vsemi ribami tvojih rek vred, ki se tvojih luskin drže.

⁵And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

⁵In vržem te v puščavo, tebe in vse ribe tvojih rek; na planem polju padeš; ne pobero te, ne spravijo te: zverinam zemlje in pticam nebeškim sem te dal za jed.

⁶And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁶In zvedeli bodo vsi prebivalci Egipta, da sem jaz GOSPOD, zato ker so bili trstovec hiši Izraelovi.

⁷When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

⁷Kadar so te z roko prijeli, si se zlomil in jim predrl vse rame; kadar so se pa nate oprli, si se prelomil in storil, da jim je omahovalo vse ledje.

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

⁸Zatorej pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Glej, pripeljem meč nadte ter iztrebim ljudi in živino iz tebe,

⁹And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

⁹in dežela Egiptovska bode v puščavo in samoto. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD. Ker Faraon govori: Reka je moja in jaz sem jo naredil,

¹⁰Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

¹⁰zato, glej, sem jaz zoper tebe in zoper reke tvoje, in naredim deželo Egiptovsko v suhe, puste pustinje, od Migdola do Siene, prav do meje Etiopije.

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

¹¹Ne bo hodila skozi njo ne človeška, ne živalska noga, in ne bodo v njem prebivali štirideset let.

¹²And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

¹²In naredim deželo Egiptovsko v puščavo sredi opustošenih dežel in mesta njegova bodo puščava med pustimi mesti štirideset let; in razkropim Egipčane med narode ter jih razženem pa deželah.

¹³Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:

¹³Ali tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ob koncu štiridesetih let zberem Egipčane izmed narodov, med katere so bili razkropljeni,

¹⁴And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

¹⁴in pripeljem nazaj ujetništvo egiptovsko in jih privedem v deželo Patros, v deželo njih rojstva, in tam bodo neznatno kraljestvo.

¹⁵It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

¹⁵In bode nižje nego druga kraljestva in ne bo se več poviševalo nad narodi; in zmanjšam jih, da ne bodo več gospodovali narodom.

¹⁶And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

¹⁶In ne bode več hiši Izraelcev v upanje, ki jih spominja njih krivice, da so se k njemu obračali. In spoznajo, da sem jaz Gospod Jehova.

¹⁷And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁷In zgodilo se je v sedemindvajsetem letu, prvi dan prvega meseca, da mi pride beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:

¹⁸Sin človečji! Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, je naložil svoji vojski trdo službo zoper Tir. Vsaka glava je oplešena in vsaka rama je oguljena; od Tira pa ni bilo nobenega plačila njemu in vojski njegovi za službo, ki jo je storil zoper njega.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

¹⁹Zatorej pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Glej, jaz dam Nebukadnezarju, kralju babilonskemu, deželo Egiptovsko, da odnese bogastvo njeno ter jo oropa in opleni, in to bode plačilo vojski njegovi.

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁰V povračilo, za katero je delal, sem mu dal deželo Egiptovsko, ker so delali zame, govori Gospod Jehova.Tisti dan storim, da zraste hiši Izraelovi rog, in tebi odprem usta sredi njih; in spoznajo, da sem jaz Gospod.

²¹In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

²¹Tisti dan storim, da zraste hiši Izraelovi rog, in tebi odprem usta sredi njih; in spoznajo, da sem jaz Gospod.
