Ezekiel 30 – Studienbibel

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Howl you, Alas for the day!

3 For the day is at hand, yes, the day of Jehovah is at hand, a day of clouds; it will be the time of the nations.

4 And the sword will come upon Egypt, and there will be anguish in Ethiopia, when the slain will fall in Egypt, and they will take away her multitude, and her foundations will be overthrown.

5 Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the children of the land that is in league, will fall with them by the sword.

6 Thus says Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt will fall; and the pride of her strength will come down: from Migdol to Syene will they fall in her by the sword, says the Lord Jehovah.

7 And they will be desolated in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

8 And they will know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers will be broken.

9 In that day will messengers go forth from me in ships, to make careless Ethiopia afraid; and anguish will come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for behold, it comes!

10 Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, will be brought to destroy the land; and they will draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with slain.

12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I Jehovah have spoken it.

13 Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease out of Noph; and there will be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgment in No.

15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

16 And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin will be in great anguish, and No will be torn apart, and at Noph there will be enemies in open day.

17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword; and these will go into captivity.

18 And at Tehaphnehes the day will be darkened, when I break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her strength will cease in her; as for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they will know that I am Jehovah.

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it will not be bound up to apply remedies, to put a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

22 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong one, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; and I will break Pharaoh’s arms, so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a deadly-wounded man.

25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall down; and they will know that I am Jehovah, when I have put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will have stretched it out upon the land of Egypt.

26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries: and they will know that I am Jehovah.
