Ezekiel 30
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
30 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God: Wail, Alas for the day!
3 For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time [of doom] for the nations.
4 And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish and great sorrow shall be in Ethiopia (Cush), when the slain fall in Egypt and they [of Babylon] carry away her great mass of people and of things and her foundations are broken down.
5 Ethiopia (Cush) and Put, Lud and all the mingled people [foreigners living in Egypt], Cub (Lub, Libya) and the children of the land of the covenant [the Jews who had taken refuge in Egypt] shall fall with [the Egyptians] by the sword.
6 Thus says the Lord: They also who uphold or lean upon and are supported by Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol [in the north] to Syene [in the south] they shall fall within her by the sword, says the Lord God.
7 And they shall be desolated in the midst of countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be in the midst of cities that are wasted [by plunder and subjection].
8 And they shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service], when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken and destroyed.
9 In that day shall [swift] messengers go forth from Me in ships to terrify the careless and unsuspecting Ethiopians, and there shall be anguish and great sorrow upon them as in the day of Egypt’s [doom], for behold, [their day] comes!
10 Thus says the Lord God: I will also make the tumult and the wealth and the large population of Egypt to cease by the hand of [a]Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the [most] terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land, and they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the [artificial] streams [of the Nile delta] dry and will sell the land into the hand of evil men, and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers. I the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service] have spoken it.
13 Thus says the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols and I will put an end to the images in Noph or Memphis, and there shall be no longer a prince 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 fire to Zoan and will execute judgments and punishments upon No or Thebes.
15 And I will pour My wrath upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the tumult, the prosperity and the population of No or Thebes.
16 And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall have great anguish and No or Thebes shall be torn open and Noph or Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime and all the day long.
17 The young men of Aven or On and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and the [women and children] shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself and be dark when I break there the yokes and dominion of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall come to an end. As for her, a cloud [of calamities] shall cover her and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments and punishments upon Egypt. Then shall they know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].
20 And in the eleventh year [after King Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon], in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up to heal it by binding it with a bandage, to make it strong to hold and wield the sword.
22 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one which was broken, and I will cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and will disperse them throughout the countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh’s arms and he will groan before [Nebuchadrezzar] with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
25 But I will strengthen and hold up the arms of the king of Babylon and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down, and they [of Egypt] shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service], when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall stretch 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 shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].

A Lament Over Egypt
30 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Wail(A) and say,
“Alas for that day!”
3 For the day is near,(B)
the day of the Lord(C) is near—
a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt,(D)
and anguish will come upon Cush.[a](E)
When the slain fall in Egypt,
her wealth will be carried away
and her foundations torn down.(F)
5 Cush and Libya,(G) Lydia and all Arabia,(H) Kub and the people(I) of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.(J)
6 “‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘The allies of Egypt will fall
and her proud strength will fail.
From Migdol to Aswan(K)
they will fall by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
7 “‘They will be desolate
among desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined cities.(L)
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
when I set fire(M) to Egypt
and all her helpers are crushed.(N)
9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush(O) out of her complacency. Anguish(P) will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come.(Q)
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt
by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar(R) king of Babylon.(S)
11 He and his army—the most ruthless of nations(T)—
will be brought in to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt
and fill the land with the slain.(U)
12 I will dry up(V) the waters of the Nile(W)
and sell the land to an evil nation;
by the hand of foreigners
I will lay waste(X) the land and everything in it.
I the Lord have spoken.
13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will destroy the idols(Y)
and put an end to the images in Memphis.(Z)
No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,(AA)
and I will spread fear throughout the land.
14 I will lay(AB) waste Upper Egypt,
set fire to Zoan(AC)
and inflict punishment on Thebes.(AD)
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire(AE) to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
Memphis(AF) will be in constant distress.
17 The young men of Heliopolis(AG) and Bubastis
will fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18 Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes(AH)
when I break the yoke of Egypt;(AI)
there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
and her villages will go into captivity.(AJ)
19 So I will inflict punishment(AK) on Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
Pharaoh’s Arms Are Broken
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month on the seventh day, the word of the Lord came to me:(AL) 21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm(AM) of Pharaoh(AN) king of Egypt. It has not been bound up to be healed(AO) or put in a splint so that it may become strong enough to hold a sword. 22 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt.(AP) I will break both his arms, the good arm as well as the broken one, and make the sword fall from his hand.(AQ) 23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.(AR) 24 I will strengthen(AS) the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword(AT) in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan(AU) before him like a mortally wounded man. 25 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword(AV) into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.(AW) 26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AX)”

Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Ai-cập sẽ bị trao vào tay Ba-by-lôn
30 CHÚA phán cùng tôi rằng: 2 “Hỡi con người, hãy nói tiên tri rằng, CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán:
Hãy khóc than như sau,
‘Ngày kinh khiếp sắp đến.’
3 Ngày đó gần kề,
ngày xét xử của CHÚA sắp đến.
Đó là ngày u ám
lúc mọi dân sẽ bị xét xử.
4 Một kẻ thù sẽ tấn công Ai-cập,
và Cút sẽ run sợ.
Khi cuộc chém giết bắt đầu ở Ai-cập,
thì của cải nó sẽ bị cướp đi,
và các nền của nó sẽ bị phá sập.
5 Cút, Phút, Ly-đia, Á-rập, Ly-bi, và một số dân Ít-ra-en [a] đã lập ước với Ai-cập sẽ ngã chết trong chiến trận.”
6 CHÚA phán như sau:
“Những kẻ chiến đấu cho Ai-cập sẽ ngã xuống.
Quyền lực mà nó hãnh diện sẽ biến mất.
Dân Ai-cập sẽ ngã chết trong chiến tranh,
từ Mi-đôn về phía Bắc cho đến A-xoan về phía Nam,
CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán vậy.
7 Xứ chúng sẽ là vùng đất hoang vu nhất.
Các thành phố Ai-cập sẽ là
những thành phố điêu tàn tồi tệ nhất.
8 Rồi chúng sẽ biết ta là CHÚA
khi ta phóng hỏa Ai-cập
và khi các dân theo nó bị đè bẹp.
9 Lúc đó ta sẽ sai sứ giả đến bằng tàu để khiến Cút hoảng sợ. Hiện nay chúng cảm thấy an toàn. Dân Cút sẽ run sợ khi Ai-cập bị trừng phạt. Thời kỳ đó chắc chắn sẽ đến.”
10 CHÚA là Thượng-Đế phán:
“Ta sẽ tiêu diệt một số lớn dân cư Ai-cập,
dùng quyền lực của Nê-bu-cát-nết-xa,
vua Ba-by-lôn.
11 Nê-bu-cát-nết-xa và đạo quân người,
đạo quân hung bạo nhất của các dân,
sẽ được mang đến để tiêu diệt xứ.
Chúng sẽ rút gươm nghịch lại Ai-cập,
thây chết chật đất.
12 Ta sẽ khiến các suối của sông Nin
thành đất khô,
rồi bán đất ấy cho kẻ ác.
Ta sẽ dùng quyền lực của dân ngoại quốc
tiêu diệt đất cùng mọi thứ trong đó.
Ta, CHÚA phán vậy.”
Các thần tượng của Ai-cập bị tiêu diệt
13 CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán:
“Ta sẽ tiêu diệt các thần tượng
và dẹp các tượng thờ khỏi thành Mem-phít.
Sẽ không còn lãnh tụ nào trong Ai-cập,
Ta sẽ rải sự kinh hoàng trên khắp xứ Ai-cập.
14 Ta sẽ biến vùng Nam Ai-cập ra hoang vu
cho lửa phát cháy từ Xoan
và trừng phạt Thê-be.
15 Ta sẽ trút cơn giận ta lên Bê-lu-xi-um,
nơi kiên cố của Ai-cập.
Ta sẽ tiêu diệt nhiều người ở Thê-be.
16 Ta sẽ châm lửa đốt Ai-cập,
Bê-lu-xi-um sẽ đau khổ.
Các vách thành Thê-be sẽ bị sập tan hoang,
và hằng ngày Mem-phít sẽ khốn đốn.
17 Các thanh niên của Hê-li-ô-bô-li và Bu-bát-ti [b]
sẽ ngã chết trong chiến trận,
và dân chúng sẽ bị bắt làm tù đày.
18 Ngày sẽ trở nên đen tối ở Ta-ban-he
khi ta bẻ gãy quyền lực [c] của Ai-cập.
Rồi nó sẽ không còn tự phụ về quyền lực mình nữa.
Một đám mây sẽ phủ trên Ai-cập,
và làng mạc nó sẽ bị chiếm và bắt đi lưu đày.
19 Cho nên ta sẽ trừng phạt Ai-cập,
và chúng sẽ biết ta là CHÚA.”
Ai-cập sẽ suy yếu
20 Ngày bảy tháng giêng, năm lưu đày thứ mười một [d] thì CHÚA phán cùng tôi rằng: 21 “Hỡi con người, ta đã bẻ gãy cánh tay hùng mạnh của vua Ai-cập. Nó không được băng bó cho nên sẽ không thể nào lành được. Nó không được băng cho nên không thể nào đủ mạnh để cầm gươm đánh trận. 22 Cho nên CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán: Ta nghịch lại vua Ai-cập. Ta sẽ bẻ gãy các cánh tay nó, cả tay lành lẫn tay gãy, rồi ta sẽ khiến gươm rơi khỏi tay nó. 23 Ta sẽ phân tán người Ai-cập ra khắp các dân, trải chúng ra giữa mọi nước. 24 Ta sẽ làm cho các cánh tay vua Ba-by-lôn thêm mạnh, đặt gươm ta vào tay người. Nhưng ta sẽ bẻ gãy cánh tay của vua Ai-cập. Cho nên khi người đối đầu với vua Ba-by-lôn, người sẽ kêu la đau đớn như người hấp hối. 25 Ta sẽ khiến tay vua Ba-by-lôn thêm mạnh, nhưng tay vua Ai-cập sẽ buông xuôi. Rồi mọi người sẽ biết ta là CHÚA khi ta đặt gươm ta vào tay vua Ba-by-lôn để người dùng nó chiến đấu với vua Ai-cập. 26 Ta sẽ phân tán người Ai-cập ra khắp các dân, rải chúng ra giữa mọi nước. Rồi chúng sẽ biết ta là CHÚA.”

Egypt and Her Allies Will Fall
30 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(A)“Wail, ‘Woe to the day!’
3 For (B)the day is near,
Even the day of the Lord is near;
It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.
4 The sword shall come upon Egypt,
And great anguish shall be in [a]Ethiopia,
When the slain fall in Egypt,
And they (C)take away her wealth,
And (D)her foundations are broken down.
5 “Ethiopia, [b]Libya, [c]Lydia, (E)all the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.”
6 ‘Thus says the Lord:
“Those who uphold Egypt shall fall,
And the pride of her power shall come down.
(F)From [d]Migdol to Syene
Those within her shall fall by the sword,”
Says the Lord God.
7 “They(G) shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries,
And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
When I have set a fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are destroyed.
9 On that day (H)messengers shall go forth from Me in ships
To make the [e]careless Ethiopians afraid,
And great anguish shall come upon them,
As on the day of Egypt;
For indeed it is coming!”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(I)“I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease
By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, (J)the most terrible of the nations,
Shall be brought to destroy the land;
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
And fill the land with the slain.
12 (K)I will make the rivers dry,
And (L)sell the land into the hand of the wicked;
I will make the land waste, and all that is in it,
By the hand of aliens.
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
13 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will also (M)destroy the idols,
And cause the images to cease from [f]Noph;
(N)There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt;
(O)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (P)Pathros desolate,
Set fire to (Q)Zoan,
(R)And execute judgments in [g]No.
15 I will pour My fury on [h]Sin, the strength of Egypt;
(S)I will cut off the multitude of [i]No,
16 And (T)set a fire in Egypt;
Sin shall have great pain,
No shall be split open,
And Noph shall be in distress daily.
17 The young men of [j]Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword,
And these cities shall go into captivity.
18 (U)At [k]Tehaphnehes the day shall also be [l]darkened,
When I break the yokes of Egypt there.
And her arrogant strength shall cease in her;
As for her, a cloud shall cover her,
And her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus I will (V)execute judgments on Egypt,
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
Proclamation Against Pharaoh
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 “Son of man, I have (W)broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, (X)it has not been bandaged for healing, nor a [m]splint put on to bind it, to make it strong enough to hold a sword. 22 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I am (Y)against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will (Z)break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall out of his hand. 23 (AA)I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries. 24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; (AB)they shall know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 (AC)I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”
