א
מַשָּׂא, מִצְרָיִם: הִנֵּה יְהוָה רֹכֵב עַל-עָב קַל, וּבָא מִצְרַיִם, וְנָעוּ אֱלִילֵי מִצְרַיִם מִפָּנָיו, וּלְבַב מִצְרַיִם יִמַּס בְּקִרְבּוֹ.
|
1
The burden of Egypt. Behold, YAHOWAH rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt within it.
|
|
ב
וְסִכְסַכְתִּי מִצְרַיִם בְּמִצְרַיִם, וְנִלְחֲמוּ אִישׁ-בְּאָחִיו וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ, עִיר בְּעִיר, מַמְלָכָה בְּמַמְלָכָה.
|
2
And I will spur Egypt against Egypt; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
|
|
ג
וְנָבְקָה רוּחַ-מִצְרַיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ, וַעֲצָתוֹ אֲבַלֵּעַ; וְדָרְשׁוּ אֶל-הָאֱלִילִים וְאֶל-הָאִטִּים, וְאֶל-הָאֹבוֹת וְאֶל-הַיִּדְּעֹנִים.
|
3
And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty within it; and I will make void the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the whisperers, and to the ghosts, and to the familiar spirits.
|
|
ד
וְסִכַּרְתִּי, אֶת-מִצְרַיִם, בְּיַד, אֲדֹנִים קָשֶׁה; וּמֶלֶךְ עַז יִמְשָׁל-בָּם, נְאֻם הָאָדוֹן יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת.
|
4
And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith YAHOWAH, YAHOWAH of hosts.
|
|
ה
וְנִשְּׁתוּ-מַיִם, מֵהַיָּם; וְנָהָר, יֶחֱרַב וְיָבֵשׁ.
|
5
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be drained dry,
|
|
ו
וְהֶאֶזְנִיחוּ נְהָרוֹת, דָּלְלוּ וְחָרְבוּ יְאֹרֵי מָצוֹר; קָנֶה וָסוּף, קָמֵלוּ.
|
6
And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither.
|
|
ז
עָרוֹת עַל-יְאוֹר, עַל-פִּי יְאוֹר; וְכֹל מִזְרַע יְאוֹר, יִיבַשׁ נִדַּף וְאֵינֶנּוּ.
|
7
The mosses by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
|
|
ח
וְאָנוּ, הַדַּיָּגִים, וְאָבְלוּ, כָּל-מַשְׁלִיכֵי בַיְאוֹר חַכָּה; וּפֹרְשֵׂי מִכְמֹרֶת עַל-פְּנֵי-מַיִם, אֻמְלָלוּ.
|
8
The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
|
|
ט
וּבֹשׁוּ עֹבְדֵי פִשְׁתִּים, שְׂרִיקוֹת; וְאֹרְגִים, חוֹרָי.
|
9
Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave cotton, shall be ashamed.
|
|
י
וְהָיוּ שָׁתֹתֶיהָ, מְדֻכָּאִים; כָּל-עֹשֵׂי שֶׂכֶר, אַגְמֵי-נָפֶשׁ.
|
10
And her foundations shall be crushed, all they that make dams shall be grieved in soul.
|
|
יא
אַךְ-אֱוִלִים, שָׂרֵי צֹעַן, חַכְמֵי יֹעֲצֵי פַרְעֹה, עֵצָה נִבְעָרָה; אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ אֶל-פַּרְעֹה, בֶּן-חֲכָמִים אֲנִי בֶּן-מַלְכֵי-קֶדֶם.
|
11
The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'?
|
|
יב
אַיָּם אֵפוֹא חֲכָמֶיךָ, וְיַגִּידוּ נָא לָךְ; וְיֵדְעוּ, מַה-יָּעַץ יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עַל-מִצְרָיִם.
|
12
Where are they, then, thy wise men? And let them tell thee now; and let them know what YAHOWAH of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
|
|
יג
נוֹאֲלוּ שָׂרֵי צֹעַן, נִשְּׁאוּ שָׂרֵי נֹף; הִתְעוּ אֶת-מִצְרַיִם, פִּנַּת שְׁבָטֶיהָ.
|
13
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.
|
|
יד
יְהוָה מָסַךְ בְּקִרְבָּהּ, רוּחַ עִוְעִים; וְהִתְעוּ אֶת-מִצְרַיִם בְּכָל-מַעֲשֵׂהוּ, כְּהִתָּעוֹת שִׁכּוֹר בְּקִיאוֹ.
|
14
YAHOWAH hath mingled within her a spirit of dizziness; and they have caused Egypt to stagger in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
|
|
טו
וְלֹא-יִהְיֶה לְמִצְרַיִם, מַעֲשֶׂה, אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה רֹאשׁ וְזָנָב, כִּפָּה וְאַגְמוֹן.
|
15
Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
|
|
טז
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה מִצְרַיִם כַּנָּשִׁים; וְחָרַד וּפָחַד, מִפְּנֵי תְּנוּפַת יַד-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, אֲשֶׁר-הוּא, מֵנִיף עָלָיו.
|
16
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of YAHOWAH of hosts, which He shaketh over it.
|
|
יז
וְהָיְתָה אַדְמַת יְהוּדָה לְמִצְרַיִם, לְחָגָּא, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַזְכִּיר אֹתָהּ אֵלָיו, יִפְחָד--מִפְּנֵי, עֲצַת יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, אֲשֶׁר-הוּא, יוֹעֵץ עָלָיו. {ס}
|
17
And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt, whensoever one maketh mention thereof to it; it shall be afraid, because of the purpose of YAHOWAH of hosts, which He purposeth against it.
{S}
|
|
יח
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיוּ חָמֵשׁ עָרִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, מְדַבְּרוֹת שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן, וְנִשְׁבָּעוֹת, לַיהוָה צְבָאוֹת: עִיר הַהֶרֶס, יֵאָמֵר לְאֶחָת. {ס}
|
18
In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to YAHOWAH of hosts; one shall be called the city of destruction.
{S}
|
|
יט
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה, בְּתוֹךְ, אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; וּמַצֵּבָה אֵצֶל-גְּבוּלָהּ, לַיהוָה.
|
19
In that day shall there be an altar to YAHOWAH in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to YAHOWAH.
|
|
כ
וְהָיָה לְאוֹת וּלְעֵד לַיהוָה צְבָאוֹת, בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם: כִּי-יִצְעֲקוּ אֶל-יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי לֹחֲצִים, וְיִשְׁלַח לָהֶם מוֹשִׁיעַ וָרָב וְהִצִּילָם.
|
20
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto YAHOWAH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto YAHOWAH because of the oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver them.
|
|
כא
וְנוֹדַע יְהוָה לְמִצְרַיִם, וְיָדְעוּ מִצְרַיִם אֶת-יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא; וְעָבְדוּ זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה, וְנָדְרוּ-נֵדֶר לַיהוָה וְשִׁלֵּמוּ.
|
21
And YAHOWAH shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know YAHOWAH in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and offering, and shall vow a vow unto YAHOWAH, and shall perform it.
|
|
כב
וְנָגַף יְהוָה אֶת-מִצְרַיִם, נָגֹף וְרָפוֹא; וְשָׁבוּ, עַד-יְהוָה, וְנֶעְתַּר לָהֶם, וּרְפָאָם. {ס}
|
22
And YAHOWAH will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto YAHOWAH, and He will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
{S}
|
|
כג
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, תִּהְיֶה מְסִלָּה מִמִּצְרַיִם אַשּׁוּרָה, וּבָא-אַשּׁוּר בְּמִצְרַיִם, וּמִצְרַיִם בְּאַשּׁוּר; וְעָבְדוּ מִצְרַיִם, אֶת-אַשּׁוּר. {ס}
|
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 worship with the Assyrians.
{S}
|
|
כד
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלִישִׁיָּה, לְמִצְרַיִם, וּלְאַשּׁוּר: בְּרָכָה, בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ.
|
24
In that day shall Yisrael be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
|
|
כה
אֲשֶׁר בֵּרְכוֹ יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, לֵאמֹר: בָּרוּךְ עַמִּי מִצְרַיִם, וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי אַשּׁוּר, וְנַחֲלָתִי, יִשְׂרָאֵל. {ס}
|
25
for that YAHOWAH of hosts hath blessed him, saying: 'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Yisrael Mine inheritance.'
{S}
