¹A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

²Synu človeka, prorokuj a povieš: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Kvíľte! Oj, beda tomu dňu!

²`Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day!

³Lebo je blízko deň, a je blízko deň Hospodinov, deň hustého oblaku, čas národov to bude.

³For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of clouds, the time of nations it is.

⁴A prijde meč na Egypt, a bude veľké trasenie v Ethiopii od strachu, keď budú padať pobití v Egypte, a poberú množstvo jeho bohatstva, a jeho základy budú rozbúrané.

⁴And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations.

⁵Ethiopi, Púťania a Lúďania a všetka tá smes ako i Kúbänia i synovia zeme smluvy padnú s nimi od meča.

⁵Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do fall,

⁶Takto hovorí Hospodin: A padnú tí, ktorí podopierali Egypt, a tak sostúpi pýcha jeho sily; od veže Sevéne popadajú v ňom mečom, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

⁶Thus said Jehovah: And — fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

⁷A spustnú prostred spustlých zemí, a jeho mestá budú prostred spustošených miest.

⁷And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of wasted cities.

⁸A zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, keď dám oheň v Egypte, a budú skrúšení všetci, ktorí mu pomáhajú.

⁸And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers.

⁹Toho dňa vyjdú poslovia zpred mojej tvári na lodiach, aby prestrašili ubezpečenú Ethiopiu, a povstane medzi nimi veľké trasenie od strachu jako v deň Egypta, lebo, hľa, prijde.

⁹In that day go forth do messengers from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come.

¹⁰Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Učiním prietrž surme Egypta rukou Nabuchodonozora, babylonského kráľa.

¹⁰Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

¹¹On i jeho ľud s ním, ukrutní zpomedzi národov, budú dovedení zkaziť zem, a vytasia svoje meče na Egypt a naplnia zem pobitými.

¹¹He and his people with him — the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.

¹²Obrátim rieky na púšť a predám zem do ruky nešľachetníkov, spustoším zem i jej náplň rukou cudzincov. Ja Hospodin som hovoril.

¹²And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

¹³Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: A zahubím ukydaných bohov, učiním koniec modlám, a vyhladím ich z Nofa, a nebude viacej kniežaťa z Egyptskej zeme, a dám bázeň v Egyptskej zemi.

¹³Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And — I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Spustoším Patros, dám oheň v Coane a vykonám súdy na No-e.

¹⁴And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,

¹⁵A vylejem svoju prchlivosť na Sín, pevnosť Egypta, a vyplienim množstvo No-a.

¹⁵And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶A dám oheň v Egypte; v bolesti sa bude svíjať Sín, a No bude na to, aby bolo preborené, a Nof bude mať nepriateľov čo deň.

¹⁶And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses.

¹⁷Mládenci Ona a Fi-beseta padnú mečom, a ony samé pojdú do zajatia.

¹⁷The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go.

¹⁸A v Tachpanchese utiahne sa deň, keď tam polámem jarmá Egypta, a bude v ňom koniec pýche jeho sily. On sám, Tachpanches, pokryje hustý oblak, a jeho dcéry pojdú do zajatia.

¹⁸And in Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency of her strength, She — a cloud doth cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go.

¹⁹A tak vykonám súdy na Egypte, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin.

¹⁹And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

²⁰A stalo sa jedenásteho roku, prvého mesiaca, siedmeho dňa toho mesiaca, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²⁰And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying: `Son of man,

²¹Synu človeka, polámal som rameno faraona, egyptského kráľa, a hľa, nebude viacej poviazané priložiť lieky, dať obväz poviazať ho, aby zosilnelo pochytiť meč.

²¹The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it — to lay hold on the sword.

²²Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, prijdem proti faraonovi, egyptskému kráľovi, a polámem jeho ramená, to silné i to polámané, a spôsobím to, aby vypadol meč z jeho ruky.

²²Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,

²³A rozptýlim Egypťanov medzi národy a rozoženiem ich po rôznych zemiach.

²³And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands,

²⁴Posilním ramená babylonského kráľa a dám svoj meč do jeho ruky, a polámem ramená faraonove, a bude stenať pred ním ako stene ranený na smrť.

²⁴And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he hath groaned the groans of a pierced one — before him.

²⁵Posilním ramená babylonského kráľa, a ramená faraonove padnú, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin, keď dám svoj meč do ruky babylonského kráľa, a vystrie ju na Egyptskú zem.

²⁵And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.

²⁶A tak rozptýlim Egypťanov medzi národy a rozoženiem ich po rôznych zemiach, a zvedia, že ja som Hospodin.

²⁶And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
