エジプトについての預言
29 エホヤキン王が投獄されて十年目の第十の月の十二日に、主から次のようなことばがありました。
2 「人の子よ、エジプトの王と民に預言しなさい。
3 神である主がこう語る、と告げよ。
川の真ん中にいる巨竜のようなエジプトの王よ。
わたしはおまえの敵となる。
おまえが、『ナイル川は私のものだ。
私が自分のためにつくったのだ』と言っているからだ。
4 わたしは、おまえのあごに鉤をかけ、
うろこについた魚ごと岸に引き上げる。
5 おまえを魚もろとも、死ぬまで荒野に放っておく。
遺体を葬る者はいない。
わたしがおまえを野獣や鳥のえじきとしたからだ。
6 イスラエルがわたしに頼る代わりに
おまえに助けを求めた時、
おまえにはそれだけの力がなかった。
そのことから、おまえたちはみな、
わたしが主であることを知るようになる。
7 イスラエルはおまえに寄りかかった。
だがおまえは、ひびの入った杖のように折れた。
イスラエルは肩を砕き、痛みのあまりよろめいた。」
8 それで、神である主は語ります。「ああ、エジプトよ。わたしは軍隊を送っておまえを攻め、人も家畜もみな滅ぼす。 9 エジプトは荒れはてる。その時、エジプト人は、このようにしたのは主であるわたしだと知る。おまえは、『ナイル川は私のもの。私がつくったのだ』と言っている。 10 それゆえわたしは、おまえとその川に向かって立ち上がり、ミグドルからセベネ、さらに南のエチオピヤとの国境に至るまで、エジプト全地を完全に滅ぼす。 11 四十年間、誰ひとり、獣一匹さえエジプトを通らないだろう。もちろん、住む者もいなくなる。 12 エジプトばかりか周囲の国々も荒廃させ、町々も四十年間、荒れ放題にする。わたしはエジプト人を他の国々に追い散らす。」
13 主は語ります。「四十年が過ぎたら、エジプト人を散らされていた国々から連れ戻そう。 14 エジプトの富を回復し、彼らが生まれ育った地、南エジプトのパテロスに帰らせる。だが、もうエジプトは、何の影響力もない小国となる。 15 すべての国々の中でも最小の国となり、二度と他の国の上に立つこともない。今までのような大国には決してなれない。 16 イスラエルも、二度とエジプトに助けを求めたりはしない。助けを求めようとするたびに、以前の苦い失敗を思い出すからだ。こうしてイスラエルは、わたしだけが神であることを認めるようになる。」
17 エホヤキン王の捕囚から二十七年目の第一の月の一日、次のような主のことばがありました。 18 「人の子よ。バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの軍隊がツロを激しく攻撃した。兵士たちは、土をいっぱい入れた重いバケツを載せて運んだために頭がはげ、肩は包囲攻撃に使う石の重さですりむけ、手にはまめができた。そうまでしても、ネブカデネザル王は何の戦利品も得られず、兵士たちに何も報いることができなかった。」 19 そこで、神である主は語ります。「わたしは、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルにエジプトの地を与えよう。彼はエジプトの財宝を取り上げ、すべての物を奪って部下への報いとする。 20 そう、わたしは、エジプトの地を報酬として彼に与える。彼はツロで十三年間、わたしのために働いたからだ。」このように主が語ります。
21 「やがて、わたしがイスラエルに、昔の栄えを回復する日がくる。その日には、イスラエルの発言が重視される。こうしてエジプトは、わたしが主であることを知る。」

A Prophecy Against Egypt
Judgment on Pharaoh
29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me:(A) 2 “Son of man, set your face against(B) Pharaoh king of Egypt(C) and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.(D) 3 Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I am against you, Pharaoh(E) king of Egypt,
you great monster(F) lying among your streams.
You say, “The Nile(G) belongs to me;
I made it for myself.”
4 But I will put hooks(H) in your jaws
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
with all the fish sticking to your scales.(I)
5 I will leave you in the desert,
you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
and not be gathered(J) or picked up.
I will give you as food
to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky.(K)
6 Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.
“‘You have been a staff of reed(L) for the people of Israel. 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered(M) and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.[a](N)
8 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring a sword against you and kill both man and beast.(O) 9 Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
“‘Because you said, “The Nile(P) is mine; I made it,(Q)” 10 therefore I am against you(R) and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt(S) a ruin and a desolate waste(T) from Migdol(U) to Aswan,(V) as far as the border of Cush.[b](W) 11 The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.(X) 12 I will make the land of Egypt desolate(Y) among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.(Z)
13 “‘Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered. 14 I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt,(AA) the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly(AB) kingdom.(AC) 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.(AD) I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. 16 Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence(AE) for the people of Israel but will be a reminder(AF) of their sin in turning to her for help.(AG) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.(AH)’”
Nebuchadnezzar’s Reward
17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:(AI) 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar(AJ) king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare(AK) and every shoulder made raw.(AL) Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre. 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king(AM) of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder(AN) the land as pay for his army.(AO) 20 I have given him Egypt(AP) as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AQ)
21 “On that day I will make a horn[c](AR) grow for the Israelites, and I will open your mouth(AS) among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AT)”

Proclamation Against Egypt
29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, (A)set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and (B)against all Egypt. 3 Speak, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(C)“Behold, I am against you,
O Pharaoh king of Egypt,
O great (D)monster who lies in the midst of his rivers,
(E)Who has said, ‘My [a]River is my own;
I have made it for myself.’
4 But (F)I will put hooks in your jaws,
And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales;
I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.
5 I will leave you in the wilderness,
You and all the fish of your rivers;
You shall fall on the [b]open (G)field;
(H)You shall not be picked up or [c]gathered.
(I)I have given you as food
To the beasts of the field
And to the birds of the heavens.
6 “Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
Shall know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been a (J)staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 (K)When they took hold of you with the hand,
You broke and tore all their [d]shoulders;
When they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their backs quiver.”
8 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will bring (L)a sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast. 9 And the land of Egypt shall become (M)desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the Lord, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’ 10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, (N)and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, (O)from [e]Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia. 11 (P)Neither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years. 12 (Q)I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will (R)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.”
13 ‘Yet, thus says the Lord God: “At the (S)end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered. 14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a (T)lowly kingdom. 15 It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore. 16 No longer shall it be (U)the confidence of the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity when they turned to follow them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.” ’ ”
Babylonia Will Plunder Egypt
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (V)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre; every head was made (W)bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will give the land of Egypt to (X)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he shall take away her wealth, carry off her spoil, and remove her pillage; and that will be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they (Y)worked for Me,’ says the Lord God.
21 ‘In that day (Z)I will cause the [f]horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will (AA)open your mouth to speak in their midst. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”
