YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the burden against
Egypt :
Behold
, the
LORD
rides
on a swift cloud ;
He is
coming
to
Egypt .
The idols of Egypt will
tremble
before
Him
, and the hearts
of the
Egyptians
will
melt
within
them
.
The burden of
Egypt .
Lo
, Jehovah
is
riding
on a swift thick
cloud ,
And
He hath
entered
Egypt ,
And
moved
have
been
the idols of Egypt at
His
presence
, And the heart
of Egypt
melteth
in
its
midst
.
“So
I will
incite
Egyptian
against Egyptian;
brother
will
fight
against brother, neighbor
against neighbor
, city against city, and
kingdom against kingdom.
And
I armed
Egyptians
against Egyptians,
And
they
fought,
each
against his
brother, And
each
against his
neighbour
, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Then
the spirit of the
Egyptians
will
be
emptied
out
from
among
them,
and I will
frustrate
their
plans
, so
that
they will
resort
to
idols and spirits
of
the dead
, to
mediums
and spiritists
.
And
emptied
out
hath
been
in
its
midst
the spirit of Egypt.
And its
counsel
I swallow
up
, And
they have
sought
unto
the
idols ,
And unto
the charmers
, And unto
those
having
familiar
spirits,
And
unto
the
wizards
.
I will
deliver
the Egyptians into the hands
of harsh
masters
, and a fierce
king will
rule over them, ”
declares
the Lord GOD
of Hosts.
And
I have
delivered
the Egyptians Into the hand
of a
hard
lord
, And a strong
king doth
rule over them, An
affirmation
of
the Lord ,
Jehovah
of Hosts.
The
waters of
the Nile
will
dry
up
, and the
riverbed
will
be
parched
and empty
.
And
failed
have
waters from
the sea
, And a
river
is
wasted
and dried
up
.
The
canals
will
stink;
the streams
of
Egypt
will
trickle
and dry
up ;
the reeds
and rushes
will
wither
.
And
they
have
turned
away
the flowings,
Weak
and dried
up have
been
brooks
of
the bulwark,
Reed
and flag
have
withered
.
The
bulrushes
by the Nile
, by the mouth
of the river
, and all
the
fields
sown along
the Nile
, will
wither
, blow
away, and be
no
more
.
Exposed
things
by the brook
, by the edge
of the brook
, And every
sown thing
of
the brook
, hath
withered
, It
hath
been
driven
away, and is
not
.
Then
the fishermen
will
mourn
, all who
cast
a
hook
into the
Nile
will
lament
, and those who
spread
nets on the waters will
pine
away
.
And
lamented
have
the fishers
, And
mourned
have
all casting
angle
into a
brook
, And those spreading
nets on the face
of
the
waters have
languished
.
The
workers
in
flax will
be
dismayed
, and the
weavers of fine
linen
will
turn
pale
.
And
ashamed
have
been
makers
of
fine
flax, And weavers of net-works
.
The
workers
in
cloth
will
be
dejected,
and all the
hired
workers
will
be
sick
at
heart
.
And its
foundations
have
been
smitten,
All making
wages
`are'
afflicted
in
soul
.
The princes of Zoan are
mere
fools;
Pharaoh’s
wise counselors
give
senseless
advice
. How can
you
say to
Pharaoh, “I
am
one
of the wise, a son of eastern
kings ”
?
Only,
fools
`are'
the princes of Zoan ,
The
counsel
of
the
wise ones
of
the
counsellors
of
Pharaoh
hath
become
brutish
. How say ye
unto
Pharaoh, `A
son
of the wise am
I
, a son of kings of
antiquity
? '
Where are your
wise
men
now? Let them tell you
and reveal
what the
LORD
of Hosts has
planned
against Egypt .
Where `
are '
they
now ,
thy
wise
ones
? Yea,
let them tell to
thee,
I
pray
thee,
And they
know
what Jehovah
of Hosts hath
counselled
against Egypt !
The
princes of Zoan have become
fools;
the
princes of Memphis
are
deceived.
The cornerstones
of her tribes have
led
Egypt
astray
.
Foolish
have
been
princes of Zoan ,
Lifted
up
have been
princes of Noph,
And
they
have
caused
Egypt
to
err,
The chief
of her tribes.
The
LORD
has
poured
into
her a spirit of confusion.
Egypt has
been
led
astray
in all she
does
, as a drunkard staggers
through
his own
vomit.
Jehovah
hath
mingled
in
her midst
A spirit of perverseness,
And
they
have
caused
Egypt to
err
in all its
work
, As a drunkard erreth
in
his vomit.
There is nothing
Egypt can
do—
head or tail, palm
or reed.
And
there is no
work
to
Egypt ,
That
head or tail, branch
or reed ,
may
do
.
In that day the
Egyptians
will
be
like women .
They
will
tremble
with
fear
beneath
the uplifted
hand
of the LORD
of Hosts, when
He brandishes
it against
them
.
In that day is
Egypt
like women ,
And
it
hath
mourned,
and
been
afraid,
Because
of
the waving
of the hand
of Jehovah
of
Hosts, That
He is
waving
over
it.
The land of Judah will
bring
terror
to Egypt ;
whenever
Judah
is
mentioned
, Egypt
will
tremble
over
what
the LORD
of Hosts has
planned
against it.
And
the land of Judah hath
been
to Egypt for
a
cause
of
staggering
, Every
one
who
doth
mention
it,
for
himself
feareth,
Because
of
the counsel
of Jehovah
of
Hosts ,
That
He
is
counselling
against it.
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will
speak
the language
of Canaan and swear
allegiance
to the
LORD
of Hosts .
One
of
them
will
be
called
the City of the
Sun
.
In that day there
are
five cities in the land of Egypt ,
Speaking
the lip
of Canaan ,
And swearing
to Jehovah
of Hosts ,
`
The city of destruction,'
is
said
of
one
.
In that day there will
be
an altar to the
LORD
in the center
of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to
the
LORD
near her
border .
In that day there is
an altar to Jehovah
In the midst
of the land of Egypt, And a standing
pillar near its
border to
Jehovah,
It will
be
a sign and a witness
to the
LORD
of Hosts in the land of Egypt .
When
they cry out
to
the LORD
because
of their
oppressors, He will
send
them a savior
and defender
to
rescue
them.
And
it hath
been
for
a sign and for
a testimony,
To Jehovah
of Hosts in the land of Egypt ,
For
they cry unto
Jehovah
from
the face
of oppressors, And
He sendeth
to
them a saviour,
Even
a
great
one,
and hath
delivered
them.
The
LORD
will
make
Himself
known to Egypt, and on
that day Egypt
will
acknowledge
the
LORD.
They
will
worship
with
sacrifices
and offerings;
they
will
make
vows
to the
LORD
and fulfill
them
.
And
known hath
been
Jehovah
to Egypt, And the
Egyptians
have
known
Jehovah
in
that day ,
And done
sacrifice
and
present,
And
vowed
a
vow
to Jehovah,
and completed
`it'
.
And the
LORD
will
strike
Egypt with
a
plague;
He
will
strike
them
but
heal
them.
They will
turn
to
the
LORD
, and He will
hear
their
prayers
and heal
them.
And Jehovah
hath
smitten
Egypt ,
smiting
and
healing,
And
they have
turned
back
unto
Jehovah
, And He hath
been
entreated
of
them,
And hath
healed
them.
In that day there
will
be
a highway from
Egypt to Assyria.
The Assyrians will
go
to Egypt, and the Egyptians to
Assyria.
The Egyptians and
Assyrians will
worship
together
.
In that day is
a highway out
of
Egypt to Asshur,
And
come
in
have
the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into
Asshur,
And
the Egyptians have
served
with
the
Assyrians.
In that day Israel will
join
a
three-party
alliance
with
Egypt and Assyria—
a blessing upon
the earth.
In that day is
Israel third,
After
Egypt ,
and after
Asshur,
A blessing in
the heart
of
the
earth.
The
LORD
of Hosts will
bless them
, saying, “
Blessed be
Egypt
My people, Assyria
My handiwork
, and Israel
My
inheritance .”
In
that
Jehovah
of Hosts did
bless it
, saying, `
Blessed `is'
My people --
Egypt
, And
the
work
of
My hands
--
Asshur
, And Mine
inheritance --
Israel!'
