2. "Sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Kukajte: 'Jao dana!'

2. “Fili ho minis, propheta et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ululate, vae diei,

3. Jer se bliži dan, bliži se dan Jahvin! Dan oblaèan, vrijeme narodima odreðeno.

3. quia iuxta est dies, et appropinquat dies Domini, dies nubis; tempus gentium erit.

4. I maè æe uæi u Egipat, a strah æe ophrvati Etiopiju kad mrtvi stanu padati po Egiptu i kad se razgrabi njegovo blago te kad mu temelje sve sruše.

4. Et veniet gladius in Aegyptum, et erit pavor in Chus, cum ceciderint vulnerati in Aegypto, et ablatae fuerint opes illius, et destructa fundamenta eius.

5. Kuš, Put i Lud, sva Arabija i Libija, i sinovi zemlje Krete s njima od maèa æe izginuti'!

5. Chus et Phut et Lud et omne vulgus promiscuum et Chub et filii terrae foederis cum eis gladio cadent.

6. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Past æe koji podupiru Egipat i srozat æe se ponos njegove moæi. Od Migdola do Sevana sve æe u njemu od maèa pasti - rijeè je Jahve Gospoda.

6. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et corruent fulcientes Aegyptum, et destruetur superbia potentiae eius; a Magdolo usque ad Syenen gladio cadent in ea, ait Dominus Deus.

7. On æe biti pustoš meðu opustošenim zemljama, a njegovi gradovi ruševine meðu razrušenim gradovima.

7. Et dissipabuntur in medio terrarum desolatarum, et urbes eius in medio civitatum desertarum erunt;

8. I znat æe da sam ja Jahve kad zapalim svoj oganj u Egiptu i zatrem sve pomagaèe njegove.

8. et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero ignem in Aegyptum, et attriti fuerint omnes auxiliatores eius.

9. U onaj æe dan glasnici od mene na laðama isploviti da zastraše bezbrižnu Etiopiju. I strah æe je ophrvati u dan egipatski. Jer, evo, bliži se!'

9. In die illa egredientur nuntii a facie mea in navibus ad conterendam confidentiam Chus, et erit pavor in eis in die Aegypti, quia veniet.

11. On i njegov narod s njime - najokrutniji meðu narodima - bit æe dovedeni da zemlju zatru. I oni æe isukati maè na Egipat i svu æe mu zemlju truplima ispuniti.

11. Ipse et populus eius cum eo violentissimi gentium adducentur ad disperdendam terram; et evaginabunt gladios suos super Aegyptum et implebunt terram interfectis.

12. A ja æu isušiti rijeke i zemlju predati u ruke silnicima, opustošit æu zemlju i što je u njoj - rukom tuðinaca. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!'

13. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Razorit æu kumire i ništavila istrijebiti iz Memfisa, i neæe više biti knezova u egipatskoj zemlji, a strah æu posijati u zemlji egipatskoj.

14. Opustošit æu Patros, zapaliti Soan, izvršiti sud na Tebi.

14. Et disperdam terram Phatures et dabo ignem in Tani et faciam iudicia in No.

15. Et effundam indignationem meam super Sin, robur Aegypti, et interficiam multitudinem No.

16. Zapalit æu oganj pod Egiptom: Sin æe uzdrhtati od strave, Teba æe biti osvojena, a Memfis u tjeskobi dan za danom.

16. Et dabo ignem in Aegypto; quasi parturiens dolebit Sin, et in No scissura erit, et contra Memphin hostes plena die.

17. Mladiæi Heliopola i Pi-Beseta od maèa æe pasti. A oni æe biti odvedeni u ropstvo!

17. Iuvenes Heliopoleos et Bubasti gladio cadent, et ipsae captivae ducentur.

18. Nad Tafnisom pomrèat æe dan kad ondje slomim jaram egipatski i kad se dokonèa ponos moæi u njemu! Nad njim æe se nadviti oblak, i njegove æe kæeri biti odvedene u ropstvo!

18. Et in Taphnis nigrescet dies, cum contrivero ibi sceptra Aegypti, et defecerit in ea superbia potentiae eius; ipsam nubes operiet, filiae autem eius in captivitatem ducentur.

19. Tako æu izvršiti sud nad Egiptom, i znat æe da sam ja Jahve.'"

20. Godine jedanaeste, prvoga mjeseca, sedmoga dana doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

20. Et factum est in undecimo anno, in primo, in septima mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:

21. "Sine èovjeèji, gle, slomih mišicu faraonu, kralju egipatskom! I evo, nisu je ni povili: nisu metnuli lijekove niti su je povojima obavili da je okrijepe kako bi se opet mogla prihvatiti maèa.

21. “Fili hominis, brachium pharaonis, regis Aegypti, confregi, et ecce non est obvolutum, ut restitueretur ei sanitas, ut ligaretur pannis et farciretur linteolis, ut recepto robore posset tenere gladium.

22. Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me protiv faraona, kralja egipatskoga, da mu slomim obje ruke, i zdravu i slomljenu, i da mu maè izbijem iz ruke!

22. Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad pharaonem, regem Aegypti, et comminuam brachium eius forte sed confractum et deiciam gladium de manu eius

23. Razagnat æu Egipæane meðu narode i rasijati ih po zemljama!

23. et dispergam Aegyptum in gentibus et ventilabo eos in terris.

24. Ojaèat æu ruke kralju babilonskom i maè æu svoj staviti u njegovu ruku; a faraonu æu slomiti ruke te æe stenjati pred neprijateljem kao ranjenik.

24. Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis daboque gladium meum in manu eius; et confringam brachia pharaonis, et gemet gemitibus sicut transfixus coram facie eius.

25. Da, ojaèat æu ruke kralju babilonskom, a ruke æe faraonove klonuti. I znat æe se da sam ja Jahve kad metnem maè svoj u ruke kralju babilonskom i on ga zavitla nad zemljom egipatskom.

25. Et confortabo brachia regis Babylonis, et brachia pharaonis concident; et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero gladium meum in manu regis Babylonis, et extenderit eum super terram Aegypti.

26. Raspršit æu Egipæane meðu narode i rasijati ih po zemljama. I znat æe da sam ja Jahve.'"

26. Et dispergam Aegyptum in nationes et ventilabo eos in terras, et scient quia ego Dominus”.

Footnotes:

30:1-3 - The word of judgment on Egypt is expanded, indicating that God will bring destruction upon the entire Egyptian land. This chapter highlights the scope of God's judgment, which extends to all nations that oppose His will (see also Jeremiah 46:10 and Isaiah 19:16).

30:4-5 - God promises to attack not only Egypt but also its allies, including Ethiopia, Libya, and other neighboring nations. This divine judgment shows that God's sovereignty encompasses all lands and peoples without exception (see also Amos 1:2 and Jeremiah 46:1-12).

30:6-9 - Egypt's neighboring nations will suffer along with it. Egypt's destruction will profoundly affect the region, symbolizing the impact of a crumbling empire, affecting all the nations that depended on it (see also Ezekiel 32:10 and Jeremiah 48:39).

30:10-12 - God declares that He will use Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to conquer Egypt, symbolizing that nations cannot escape God's will. This highlights the instrumentalization of pagan empires to accomplish God's purposes (see also Isaiah 10:5-7 and Jeremiah 25:9).

30:18-19 - The desolation of Egypt extends to its capital, Memphis, and the surrounding cities. This radical judgment underscores God's absolute power over all civilizations and His control over the destinies of nations (see also Ezekiel 32:15 and Jeremiah 43:12).

Verses related to Ezekiel, 30:

Ezekiel chapter 30 continues the judgment against Egypt. What vision does God give of the "Day of the Lord" for this nation? This powerful text describes the destruction of Egypt and its allies in apocalyptic language. The chapter covers topics such as divine judgment, the fall of empires and the fulfillment of prophecies. Ezekiel 30 also highlights Nebuchadnezzar's role as God's instrument. Consider with us five biblical passages that correlate with the warnings in this dramatic chapter.

Jeremiah 46:2: "About Egypt. Against the army of Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish and which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, defeated in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah:" - This passage relates to Ezekiel's prophecy against Egypt, showing how other prophets also announced God's judgment on this nation.

Isaiah 19:1: "Warning against Egypt: Lo! The Lord rides on a swift cloud that goes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within." - Like Ezekiel, Isaiah also prophesies against Egypt, demonstrating the consistency of the prophetic message.

Joel 3:19: "But Egypt will become a desolation, and Edom a devastated desert, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood." - Joel also prophesies the judgment of Egypt, echoing the themes of Ezekiel 30.

Zechariah 10:11: "They will pass through the sea of affliction; the waves of the sea will be stilled, and the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be humbled, and the scepter of Egypt will depart." - This prophecy of Zechariah complements that of Ezekiel, speaking about the end of Egypt's power.

Revelation 11:8: "Their corpses will be exposed on the main street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified." - This passage uses Egypt as a symbol of opposition to God, reflecting the judgment prophesied in Ezekiel 30.
