32 ¶ Nan premye jou nan douzyèm mwa douzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:

-Nonm o! Chante yon chante pou plenn sò farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Ba l' mesaj sa a pou mwen: Ou pran pòz lyon ou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Men pou di vre, ou tankou yon gwo kayiman k'ap benyen nan larivyè a. Ou leve tout fon dlo a ak pat ou yo, ou sal tout dlo a.

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di ou: Nan mitan anpil nasyon ki va sanble bò kote ou, m'ap voye privye mwen sou ou pou m' pran ou.

M'ap voye ou jete atè, m'ap blayi ou nan mitan jaden yo. M'ap fè tout kalite zwezo ak bèt nan bwa vin manje plen vant yo ak kadav ou.

Mwen pral kouvri tout mòn ak tout fon yo ak kadav ou k'ap dekonpoze.

M'ap wouze tout peyi a ak san ou. M'ap vide san ou sou mòn yo, jouk ravin yo pral plen dlo kò ou.

Lè m'ap disparèt ou a, m'ap kouvri syèl la, m'ap bouche zetwal yo. M'ap kache solèy la dèyè nwaj yo, lalin lan p'ap klere ankò.

Poutèt ou, m'ap tenyen dènye limyè nan syèl la. Pral fènwa nèt sou tout latè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

Anpil moun pral gen lespri yo boulvèse lè m' fè nouvèl jan ou fini an gaye nan tout nasyon yo, ata nan peyi ou menm ou pa janm konnen.

10 M'ap fè anpil nasyon sezi wè sa k'ap rive ou la. Lè m'ap lonje nepe m' lan devan yo, wa yo pral tranble nan kanson yo. Jou w'ap tonbe a, yo tout pral tranble. Y'ap pè pou yo pa pèdi lavi yo tou.

11 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di wa peyi Lejip la: -Nepe wa Babilòn lan pral tonbe sou ou.

12 Mwen pral fè sòlda peyi ki pi mechan an touye tout pèp ou a ak nepe yo. Yo pral ravaje tout bèl bagay ki te fè ou kontan nan peyi Lejip la. Yo pral touye dènye kras moun nan peyi a.

13 M'ap touye tout bèt nou yo bò dlo a. p'ap rete yon grenn moun ni yon sèl bèt pou sal dlo yo ankò.

14 M'ap kite dlo yo poze, m'ap fè larivyè yo koule tou dousman. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

15 Lè m'a fè peyi Lejip la tounen yon dezè, lè m'a devaste tout bagay nan peyi a, lè m'a touye dènye moun ki rete nan peyi a, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

16 Men chante y'a chante pou plenn sò peyi Lejip la. Medam lòt nasyon yo va chante l' lè y'ap kriye pou peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Wi, se chante sa a y'a chante lè y'ap kriye pou yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

17 ¶ Nan kenzyèm jou premye mwa douzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:

18 -Nonm o! Plenn sò tout moun peyi Lejip yo. Voye yo desann ansanm ak tout lòt moun gwo nasyon yo nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, anba tè kote moun ki deja mouri yo ye.

19 Di yo konsa: -Nou konprann nou pi bèl pase tout moun? Enben, nou pral desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Nou pral kouche ansanm ak moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a.

20 Moun peyi Lejip yo pral tonbe ansanm ak moun ki mouri nan lagè yo. Gen yon nepe ki pare pou touye yo tout.

21 Sòlda ki te pi vanyan yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te pran pozisyon ak moun peyi Lejip yo pral resevwa yo nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Yo pral di: Moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a ap mouri nan lagè, yo desann isit la. Se la yo vin kouche!

22 Peyi Lasiri a la avèk tonm tout sòlda li yo bò kote l'. Yo tout mouri nan lagè.

23 Yo mete tonm yo anba nèt nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Tout sòlda li yo mouri nan lagè. Tout tonm yo bò kote l'. Se yo menm ki te mache fè moun pè yo toupatou sou latè.

24 Peyi Elam lan la tou avèk tonm tout sòlda li yo bò kote l'. Yo tout mouri nan lagè. Yo pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, yo desann konsa nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, yo menm ki te mache fè moun pè yo toupatou sou latè. Koulye a yo wont, y'ap peye mechanste yo, yo mouri ansanm ak moun ki desann nan twou san fon an.

25 Wa peyi Elam lan kouche nan mitan moun pa l' yo ki mouri nan lagè. Tonm sòlda li yo bò kote l'. Yo pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, yo mouri konsa nan lagè. Sou latè, yo te mache fè tout moun pè yo. Koulye a yo wont, y'ap peye mechanste yo. Yo desann nan twou san fon an ansanm ak moun ki mouri nan lagè yo.

26 Wa peyi Mechèk la ak wa peyi Toubal la tou, ansanm avèk tonm sòlda yo bò kote yo. Yo pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, yo mouri konsa nan lagè. Yon lè yo t'ap mache fè tout moun pè sou latè.

27 Yo p'ap fè bèl lantèman pou yo tankou pou vanyan sòlda tan lontan yo, ki te desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a ak tout zam yo sou yo, nepe yo anba tèt yo ak plak fè pwotèj yo anwo kadav yo. Paske yon lè yo t'ap mache fè tout moun pè yo sou latè.

28 Se konsa moun peyi Lejip yo pral mouri tankou moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, y'ap antere yo ansanm ak moun ki te mouri nan lagè yo.

29 Peyi Edon an la tou ansanm ak tout wa li yo ak chèf li yo. Yon lè yo te vanyan sòlda, men koulye a yo kouche nan peyi kote mò yo ye a ansanm ak moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a epi ki te mouri nan lagè.

30 Tout chèf peyi nan nò yo la tou ansanm ak tout moun peyi Sidon yo. Yo te sitèlman gen fòs, yo te fè moun pè yo. Koulye a, yo desann nan twou san fon an. Yo pote wont mechanste yo anba tè a ak yo. Yo mete yo kouche ansanm ak moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, epi ki te mouri nan lagè yo.

31 Se pral yon gwo konsolasyon pou wa peyi Lejip la ansanm ak sòlda li yo, lè y'a wè tout kantite moun ki te mouri nan lagè. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la menm ki di sa.

32 Atout mwen te fè wa peyi Lejip la mache fè moun pè l' toupatou sou latè, y'ap touye l' ansanm ak tout sòlda li yo. Ni li ni sòlda li yo pral kouche ansanm ak moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a epi ki mouri nan lagè yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

A Lament Over Pharaoh

32 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:(A) “Son of man, take up a lament(B) concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:

“‘You are like a lion(C) among the nations;
    you are like a monster(D) in the seas(E)
thrashing about in your streams,
    churning the water with your feet
    and muddying the streams.(F)

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘With a great throng of people
    I will cast my net over you,
    and they will haul you up in my net.(G)
I will throw you on the land
    and hurl you on the open field.
I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you
    and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.(H)
I will spread your flesh on the mountains
    and fill the valleys(I) with your remains.
I will drench the land with your flowing blood(J)
    all the way to the mountains,
    and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.(K)
When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
    and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
    and the moon will not give its light.(L)
All the shining lights in the heavens
    I will darken(M) over you;
    I will bring darkness over your land,(N)
declares the Sovereign Lord.
I will trouble the hearts of many peoples
    when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
    among[a] lands you have not known.
10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,
    and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
    when I brandish my sword(O) before them.
On the day(P) of your downfall
    each of them will tremble
    every moment for his life.(Q)

11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘The sword(R) of the king of Babylon(S)
    will come against you.(T)
12 I will cause your hordes to fall
    by the swords of mighty men—
    the most ruthless of all nations.(U)
They will shatter the pride of Egypt,
    and all her hordes will be overthrown.(V)
13 I will destroy all her cattle
    from beside abundant waters
no longer to be stirred by the foot of man
    or muddied by the hooves of cattle.(W)
14 Then I will let her waters settle
    and make her streams flow like oil,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
15 When I make Egypt desolate
    and strip the land of everything in it,
when I strike down all who live there,
    then they will know that I am the Lord.(X)

16 “This is the lament(Y) they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

Egypt’s Descent Into the Realm of the Dead

17 In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:(Z) 18 “Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and consign(AA) to the earth below both her and the daughters of mighty nations, along with those who go down to the pit.(AB) 19 Say to them, ‘Are you more favored than others? Go down and be laid among the uncircumcised.’(AC) 20 They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; let her be dragged(AD) off with all her hordes.(AE) 21 From within the realm of the dead(AF) the mighty leaders will say of Egypt and her allies, ‘They have come down and they lie with the uncircumcised,(AG) with those killed by the sword.’

22 “Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword. 23 Their graves are in the depths of the pit(AH) and her army lies around her grave.(AI) All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword.

24 “Elam(AJ) is there, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.(AK) All who had spread terror in the land of the living(AL) went down uncircumcised to the earth below. They bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.(AM) 25 A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised,(AN) killed by the sword. Because their terror had spread in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are laid among the slain.

26 “Meshek and Tubal(AO) are there, with all their hordes around their graves. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living. 27 But they do not lie with the fallen warriors of old,[b](AP) who went down to the realm of the dead with their weapons of war—their swords placed under their heads and their shields[c] resting on their bones—though these warriors also had terrorized the land of the living.

28 “You too, Pharaoh, will be broken and will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.

29 “Edom(AQ) is there, her kings and all her princes; despite their power, they are laid with those killed by the sword. They lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.(AR)

30 “All the princes of the north(AS) and all the Sidonians(AT) are there; they went down with the slain in disgrace despite the terror caused by their power. They lie uncircumcised(AU) with those killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.(AV)

31 “Pharaoh—he and all his army—will see them and he will be consoled(AW) for all his hordes that were killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign Lord. 32 Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh(AX) and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign Lord.”(AY)
