¹Desiateho roku, desiateho mesiaca, dvanásteho dňa toho mesiaca stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

²Synu človeka, obráť svoju tvár proti faraonovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a prorokuj proti nemu i proti celému Egyptu.

²`Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt — all of it.

³Hovor a povieš: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, prijdem na teba, faraone, egyptský kráľu, veľký draku, ktorý ležíš hovejúc si prostred svojich riek, ktorý hovoríš: Moja rieka je moja, a ja som sa sám učinil!

³Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My flood [is] my own, And I — I have made it [for] myself.

⁴Ale dám obrúčky do tvojich čelustí a spôsobím to, aby sa prilepily ryby tvojich riek na tvoje šupiny, a vyvlečiem ťa zprostred tvojich riek i všetky ryby tvojich riek, ktoré sa prilepia na tvoje šupiny.

⁴And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of thy floods to thy scales doth cleave.

⁵A vrhnem ťa na púšť, teba i všetky ryby tvojich riek. Padneš na šírom poli, nebudeš odprataný ani shromaždený; zemskej zveri a nebeskému vtáctvu ťa dám za pokrm.

⁵And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food.

⁶A zvedia všetci obyvatelia Egypta, že ja som Hospodin, pretože boli trstinovou palicou opornou domu Izraelovmu.

⁶And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am] Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁷Keď sa ťa kedy chytili, tvojej ruky, zlomil si sa a preklal si im celé plece; a keď sa opreli na teba, polámal si sa a spôsobil si to, aby im stály všetky bedrá.

⁷In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, — thou art crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their thighs to stand.

⁸Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, uvediem na teba meč a vyplienim z teba človeka i hovädo,

⁸Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and beast.

⁹a tak bude Egyptská zem pustinou a púšťou, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, pretože hovorí: Rieka je moja, a ja som učinil.

⁹And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].

¹⁰Preto hľa, prijdem proti tebe i proti tvojim riekam a obrátim Egyptskú zem na hroznú púšť a pustinu od veže Sevéne až po hranicu Ethiopie.

¹⁰Therefore, lo, I [am] against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.

¹¹Nepojde cez ňu noha človeka, ani noha hoväda nepojde cez ňu, a nebude sa v nej bývať štyridsať rokov.

¹¹Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.

¹²A tak obrátim Egyptskú zem na pustinu prostred pustých zemí, a jej mestá prostred spustošených miest budú pusté štyridsať rokov, a rozptýlim Egypťanov medzi národy a rozoženiem ich po rôznych zemiach.

¹²And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.

¹³Lebo takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Po štyridsiatich rokoch shromaždím Egypťanov z národov, kam boli rozptýlení,

¹³But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,

¹⁴a navrátim zajatých z Egypťanov a dovediem ich zpät do zeme Patrosa, do zeme ich pôvodu, a budú tam nízkym kráľovstvom.

¹⁴And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom.

¹⁵Bude nižším ako iné kráľovstvá a nebude sa viacej povyšovať nad národy, a učiním to, aby ich bolo málo, aby nepanovali spupne nad národami.

¹⁵Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.

¹⁶A nebude viacej domu Izraelovmu nádejou, ktorá by pripomínala neprávosť, keď by sa obracali za nimi, a zvedia, že ja som Pán Hospodin.

¹⁶And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.`

¹⁷A bolo dvadsiateho siedmeho roku, prvého mesiaca, prvého dňa toho mesiaca, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:

¹⁸Synu človeka, Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, naložil svojmu vojsku velikú službu proti Týru. Každá hlava je oplešivená, a každé plece je odrané, ale nemá mzdy ani on ani jeho vojsko z Týru za službu, ktorú konal proti nemu.

¹⁸`Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald — every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.

¹⁹Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, dám Nabuchodonozorovi, babylonskému kráľovi, Egyptskú zem, a odnesie množstvo jej bohatstva a poberie jej korisť a ulúpi jej lúpež, a to bude mzdou jeho vojsku.

¹⁹Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it hath been a reward to his force.

²⁰Za jeho plácu, za ktorú slúžil, dám mu Egyptskú zem, pretože to vykonali mne, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

²⁰His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The land of Egypt — in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

²¹Toho dňa spôsobím to, aby vyrástol roh domu Izraelovmu, a tebe dám to, aby si otvoril ústa prostred nich, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin.

²¹In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
