1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month , in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: 3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. 4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. 6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it . 10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. 11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 ¶ Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered: 14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. 15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations. 16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
17 ¶ And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month , in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
21 ¶ In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Misr haqida bashorat
1 Surgun boʻlgan paytimizning oʻninchi yili oʻninchi oyining oʻn ikkinchi kunida Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 2 “Ey inson, Misr firʼavniga yuzlan. Unga va butun Misr xalqiga qarshi bashorat qilib ayt: 3 «Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: ey Misr firʼavni, Men senga qarshiman. Sen Nil havzalarida choʻzilib yotgan bamisoli buyuk ajdarhodirsan. Sen: ‘Nil daryosi mening shaxsiy mulkim, uni oʻzim uchun yaratganman’, deb aytasan. 4 Ammo Men jagʻlaringga ilmoqlar solaman. Teringdagi tangachalaringga baliqlarni yopishtiraman. Seni tangachalaringga yopishgan baliqlar bilan birga quruqlikka tortib chiqaraman. 5 Men seni va havzalaringdagi hamma baliqlarni sahroga uloqtirib tashlayman. Sen ochiq maydonda yotasan. Seni olib, koʻmadigan odam boʻlmaydi. Men seni dasht hayvonlariyu osmon qushlariga yem qilib beraman. 6 Shunda butun Misr xalqi Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib oladi.
Sen xalqim Isroil uchun qamish hassaday boʻlding. 7 Ular seni ushlaganda, sen yorilib, qoʻllarini kesib yubording. Senga suyanganlarida sinib, bellarini chiqarib yubording .
8 Shu bois Egamiz Rabbiy aytmoqda: Men sening boshingga qilich keltiraman, odamu hayvonlaringni qilich tigʻidan oʻtkazaman. 9 Butun Misr yurtini tashlandiq xarobazorga aylantiraman. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib olasizlar.
Sen: ‘Nil meniki, men oʻzim uni yaratdim’, deb aytganing uchun, 10 Men senga va sening barcha havzalaringga qarshi chiqaman. Butun Misr yurtini tamomila xarob qilaman. Migdoldan tortib, to Savanaygacha va janubdagi Habashiston hududigacha hamma yerlarini tashlandiq qilaman. 11 Odam u yerga oyogʻini bosmaydi, hayvonlar ham u yerdan yurmaydi. Qirq yil mobaynida u yerda hech kim yashamaydi. 12 Men Misr yurtini dunyodagi eng xarob yurtga aylantiraman. U yerdagi shaharlar qirq yil mobaynida tashlandiq boʻlib yotadi, vayronalari boshqa shaharlardan battar boʻladi. Men Misrliklarni xalqlar orasiga tarqatib tashlayman, boshqa yurtlarga quvib yuboraman.»
13 Firʼavnga yana ayt: «Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: qirq yil oʻtgach, Men xalqlar orasiga tarqatib yuborgan Misrliklarni yigʻib olaman. 14 Ularni yana farovonlikka erishtirib, oʻz ona yurti Patroʻsga olib kelaman. Ularning shohligi ojiz bir shohlik boʻladi. 15 Ha, ular dunyoning eng ojiz shohligi boʻlib, hech qachon boshqa xalqlardan ustun boʻla olmaydi. Men ularni shu qadar zaif qilib qoʻyamanki, ular oʻz hukmini boshqa xalqlarga oʻtkaza olmay qoladi. 16 Xalqim Isroil endi hech qachon oʻz umidini Misrga bogʻlamaydi. Ular Misrdan yordam soʻrab, gunoh qilganlarini doimo eslarida tutadilar. Oʻshanda Misrliklar Egangiz Rabbiy Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar.»”
Shoh Navuxadnazar Misrni bosib oladi
17 Surgun boʻlgan paytimizning yigirma yettinchi yili birinchi oyining birinchi kunida Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 18 “Ey inson, Bobil shohi Navuxadnazar Tirga qarshi shiddatli urush olib bordi . Bobil lashkarining sochlari toʻkilib, yelkalari shilinib yalligʻlandi. Ammo qilgan mehnatlariga yarasha ular Tirdan hech qanday oʻlja ololmadilar. 19 Shu bois Misr yurtini Bobil shohi Navuxadnazarga beraman, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. — U Misrni talon–taroj qilib, u yerdagi boyliklarni oʻzi bilan olib ketadi. Misr boyliklari Bobil lashkari uchun mehnat haqi boʻladi. 20 Ha, Men Misr yurtini Bobil shohiga mehnat haqi qilib berdim, chunki u va uning lashkari Mening xizmatimni qildilar, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. 21 — Oʻsha kuni Men Isroil xalqining qudratini tiklayman . Bu soʻzlarimni xalqimga yetkazishing uchun Men senga kuch beraman. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni ular bilib oladilar.”
