Ezekiel 32 - Bible in Basic English with Hebrew

1 And it came about in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

1 וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה בִּשְׁנֵי־עָשָׂ֥ר חֹ֖דֶשׁ בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2 Son of man, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty.

2 בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם שָׂ֤א קִינָה֙ עַל־פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֔יִם וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֔יו כְּפִ֥יר גֹּויִ֖ם נִדְמֵ֑יתָ וְאַתָּה֙ כַּתַּנִּ֣ים בַּיַּמִּ֔ים וַתָּ֣גַח בְּנַהֲרֹותֶ֗יךָ וַתִּדְלַח־מַ֙יִם֙ בְּרַגְלֶ֔יךָ וַתִּרְפֹּ֖ס נַהֲרֹותָֽם׃

3 This is what the Lord has said: My net will be stretched out over you, and I will take you up in my fishing-net.

3 כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וּפָרַשְׂתִּ֤י עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ אֶת־רִשְׁתִּ֔י בִּקְהַ֖ל עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וְהֶעֱל֖וּךָ בְּחֶרְמִֽי׃

4 And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you.

4 וּנְטַשְׁתִּ֣יךָ בָאָ֔רֶץ עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה אֲטִילֶ֑ךָ וְהִשְׁכַּנְתִּ֤י עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ כָּל־עֹ֣וף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְהִשְׂבַּעְתִּ֥י מִמְּךָ֖ חַיַּ֥ת כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

5 And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and make the valleys full of your blood.

5 וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־בְּשָׂרְךָ֖ עַל־הֶֽהָרִ֑ים וּמִלֵּאתִ֥י הַגֵּאָיֹ֖ות רָמוּתֶֽךָ׃

6 And the land will be watered with your blood, and the waterways will be full of you.

6 וְהִשְׁקֵיתִ֨י אֶ֧רֶץ צָפָתְךָ֛ מִדָּמְךָ֖ אֶל־הֶֽהָרִ֑ים וַאֲפִקִ֖ים יִמָּלְא֥וּן מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

7 And when I put out your life, the heaven will be covered and its stars made dark; I will let the sun be covered with a cloud and the moon will not give her light.

7 וְכִסֵּיתִ֤י בְכַבֹּֽותְךָ֙ שָׁמַ֔יִם וְהִקְדַּרְתִּ֖י אֶת־כֹּֽכְבֵיהֶ֑ם מֶשׁ בֶּעָנָ֣ן אֲכַסֶּ֔נּוּ וְיָרֵ֖חַ לֹא־יָאִ֥יר אֹורֹֽו׃

8 All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and put dark night on your land, says the Lord.

8 כָּל־מְאֹ֤ורֵי אֹור֙ בַּשָּׁמַ֔יִם אַקְדִּירֵ֖ם עָלֶ֑יךָ וְנָתַ֤תִּי חֹ֙שֶׁךְ֙ עַֽל־אַרְצְךָ֔ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

9 And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you.

9 וְהִ֨כְעַסְתִּ֔י לֵ֖ב עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים בַּהֲבִיאִ֤י שִׁבְרְךָ֙ בַּגֹּויִ֔ם עַל־אֲרָצֹ֖ות אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יְדַעְתָּֽם׃

10 And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall.

10 וַהֲשִׁמֹּותִ֨י עָלֶ֜יךָ עַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֗ים וּמַלְכֵיהֶם֙ יִשְׂעֲר֤וּ עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ שַׂ֔עַר בְּעֹופְפִ֥י חַרְבִּ֖י עַל־פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וְחָרְד֤וּ לִרְגָעִים֙ אִ֣ישׁ לְנַפְשֹׁ֔ו בְּיֹ֖ום מַפַּלְתֶּֽךָ׃

11 For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.

11 כִּ֛י כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה חֶ֥רֶב מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל תְּבֹואֶֽךָ׃

12 I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.

12 בְּחַרְבֹ֤ות גִּבֹּורִים֙ אַפִּ֣יל הֲמֹונֶ֔ךָ עָרִיצֵ֥י גֹויִ֖ם כֻּלָּ֑ם וְשָֽׁדְדוּ֙ אֶת־גְּאֹ֣ון מִצְרַ֔יִם וְנִשְׁמַ֖ד כָּל־הֲמֹונָֽהּ׃

13 And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts.

13 וְהַֽאֲבַדְתִּי֙ אֶת־כָּל־בְּהֶמְתָּ֔הּ מֵעַ֖ל מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וְלֹ֨א תִדְלָחֵ֤ם רֶֽגֶל־אָדָם֙ עֹ֔וד וּפַרְסֹ֥ות בְּהֵמָ֖ה לֹ֥א תִדְלָחֵֽם׃

14 Then I will make their waters clear and their rivers will be flowing like oil, says the Lord.

14 אָ֚ז אַשְׁקִ֣יעַ מֵֽימֵיהֶ֔ם וְנַהֲרֹותָ֖ם כַּשֶּׁ֣מֶן אֹולִ֑יךְ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

15 When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

15 בְּתִתִּי֩ אֶת־אֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם שְׁמָמָ֣ה וּנְשַׁמָּ֗ה אֶ֚רֶץ מִמְּלֹאָ֔הּ בְּהַכֹּותִ֖י אֶת־כָּל־יֹ֣ושְׁבֵי בָ֑הּ וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

16 It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.

16 קִינָ֥ה הִיא֙ וְקֹ֣ונְנ֔וּהָ בְּנֹ֥ות הַגֹּויִ֖ם תְּקֹונֵ֣נָּה אֹותָ֑הּ עַל־מִצְרַ֤יִם וְעַל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָהּ֙ תְּקֹונֵ֣נָּה אֹותָ֔הּ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

17 And in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

17 וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה בַּחֲמִשָּׁ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

18 Son of man, let your voice be loud in sorrow for the people of Egypt and send them down, even you and the daughters of the nations; I will send them down into the lowest parts of the earth, with those who go down into the underworld.

18 בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם נְהֵ֛ה עַל־הֲמֹ֥ון מִצְרַ֖יִם וְהֹורִדֵ֑הוּ אֹ֠ותָהּ וּבְנֹ֨ות גֹּויִ֧ם אַדִּרִ֛ם אֶל־אֶ֥רֶץ תַּחְתִּיֹּ֖ות אֶת־יֹ֥ורְדֵי בֹֽור׃

19 Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,

19 מִמִּ֖י נָעָ֑מְתָּ רְדָ֥ה וְהָשְׁכְּבָ֖ה אֶת־עֲרֵלִֽים׃

20 Among those who have been put to the sword: they will give a resting-place with them to all their people.

20 בְּתֹ֥וךְ חַלְלֵי־חֶ֖רֶב יִפֹּ֑לוּ חֶ֣רֶב נִתָּ֔נָה מָשְׁכ֥וּ אֹותָ֖הּ וְכָל־הֲמֹונֶֽיהָ׃

21 The strong among the great ones will say to him from the underworld, Are you more beautiful than any? go down, you and your helpers, and take your rest among those without circumcision, and those who have been put to the sword.

21 יְדַבְּרוּ־לֹ֞ו אֵלֵ֧י גִבֹּורִ֛ים מִתֹּ֥וךְ שְׁאֹ֖ול אֶת־עֹֽזְרָ֑יו יָֽרְד֛וּ שָׁכְב֥וּ הָעֲרֵלִ֖ים חַלְלֵי־חָֽרֶב׃

22 There is Asshur and all her army, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword:

22 שָׁ֤ם אַשּׁוּר֙ וְכָל־קְהָלָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבֹותָ֖יו קִבְרֹתָ֑יו כֻּלָּ֣ם חֲלָלִ֔ים הַנֹּפְלִ֖ים בֶּחָֽרֶב׃

23 Whose resting-places are in the inmost parts of the underworld, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

23 אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִתְּנ֤וּ קִבְרֹתֶ֙יהָ֙ בְּיַרְכְּתֵי־בֹ֔ור וַיְהִ֣י קְהָלָ֔הּ סְבִיבֹ֖ות קְבֻרָתָ֑הּ כֻּלָּ֤ם חֲלָלִים֙ נֹפְלִ֣ים בַּחֶ֔רֶב אֲשֶׁר־נָתְנ֥וּ חִתִּ֖ית בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃

24 There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:

24 שָׁ֤ם עֵילָם֙ וְכָל־הֲמֹונָ֔הּ סְבִיבֹ֖ות קְבֻרָתָ֑הּ כֻּלָּ֣ם חֲלָלִים֩ הַנֹּפְלִ֨ים בַּחֶ֜רֶב אֲ‍ֽשֶׁר־יָרְד֥וּ עֲרֵלִ֣ים׀ אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ תַּחְתִּיֹּ֗ות אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתְנ֤וּ חִתִּיתָם֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֔ים וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ כְלִמָּתָ֖ם אֶת־יֹ֥ורְדֵי בֹֽור׃

25 They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

25 בְּתֹ֣וךְ חֲ֠לָלִים נָתְנ֨וּ מִשְׁכָּ֥ב לָהּ֙ בְּכָל־הֲמֹונָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבֹותָ֖יו קִבְרֹתֶ֑הָ כֻּלָּ֣ם עֲרֵלִ֣ים חַלְלֵי־חֶ֡רֶב כִּֽי־נִתַּ֨ן חִתִּיתָ֜ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֗ים וַיִּשְׂא֤וּ כְלִמָּתָם֙ אֶת־יֹ֣ורְדֵי בֹ֔ור בְּתֹ֥וךְ חֲלָלִ֖ים נִתָּֽן׃

26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death by the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

26 שָׁ֣ם מֶ֤שֶׁךְ תֻּבַל֙ וְכָל־הֲמֹונָ֔הּ סְבִֽיבֹותָ֖יו קִבְרֹותֶ֑יהָ כֻּלָּ֤ם עֲרֵלִים֙ מְחֻ֣לְלֵי חֶ֔רֶב כִּֽי־נָתְנ֥וּ חִתִּיתָ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃

27 And they have been put to rest with the fighting men who came to their end in days long past, who went down to the underworld with their instruments of war, placing their swords under their heads, and their body-covers are over their bones; for their strength was a cause of fear in the land of the living.

27 וְלֹ֤א יִשְׁכְּבוּ֙ אֶת־גִּבֹּורִ֔ים נֹפְלִ֖ים מֵעֲרֵלִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָרְדֽוּ־שְׁאֹ֣ול בִּכְלֵֽי־מִלְחַמְתָּם֩ וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ אֶת־חַרְבֹותָ֜ם תַּ֣חַת רָאשֵׁיהֶ֗ם וַתְּהִ֤י עֲוֹֽנֹתָם֙ עַל־עַצְמֹותָ֔ם כִּֽי־חִתִּ֥ית גִּבֹּורִ֖ים בְּאֶ֥רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃

28 But you will have your bed among those without circumcision, and will be put to rest with those who have been put to death with the sword.

28 וְאַתָּ֗ה בְּתֹ֧וךְ עֲרֵלִ֛ים תִּשָּׁבַ֥ר וְתִשְׁכַּ֖ב אֶת־חַלְלֵי־חָֽרֶב׃

29 There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.

29 שָׁ֣מָּה אֱדֹ֗ום מְלָכֶ֙יהָ֙ וְכָל־נְשִׂיאֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁר־נִתְּנ֥וּ בִגְבוּרָתָ֖ם אֶת־חַלְלֵי־חָ֑רֶב הֵ֛מָּה אֶת־עֲרֵלִ֥ים יִשְׁכָּ֖בוּ וְאֶת־יֹ֥רְדֵי בֹֽור׃

30 There are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who have gone down with those who have been put to the sword: they are shamed on account of all the fear caused by their strength; they are resting there without circumcision, among those who have been put to the sword, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld.

30 שָׁ֣מָּה נְסִיכֵ֥י צָפֹ֛ון כֻּלָּ֖ם וְכָל־צִֽדֹנִ֑י אֲשֶׁר־יָרְד֣וּ אֶת־חֲלָלִ֗ים בְּחִתִּיתָ֑ם מִגְבֽוּרָתָם֙ בֹּושִׁ֔ים וַיִּשְׁכְּב֤וּ עֲרֵלִים֙ אֶת־חַלְלֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ כְלִמָּתָ֖ם אֶת־יֹ֥ורְדֵי בֹֽור׃

31 Pharaoh will see them and be comforted on account of all his people: even Pharaoh and all his army, put to death by the sword, says the Lord.

31 אֹותָם֙ יִרְאֶ֣ה פַרְעֹ֔ה וְנִחַ֖ם עַל־כָּל־ הֲמֹונֹה הֲמֹונֹ֑ו^m חַלְלֵי־חֶ֙רֶב֙ פַּרְעֹ֣ה וְכָל־חֵילֹ֔ו נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

32 For he put his fear in the land of the living: and he will be put to rest among those without circumcision, with those who have been put to death with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

32 כִּֽי־נָתַ֥תִּי אֶת־ חִתִּיתֹו חִתִּיתִ֖י⁹ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֑ים וְהֻשְׁכַּב֩ בְּתֹ֨וךְ עֲרֵלִ֜ים אֶת־חַלְלֵי־חֶ֗רֶב פַּרְעֹה֙ וְכָל־הֲמֹונֹ֔ה^q נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃
