Isaías 19
Diodati 1885
1ECCO il Signore, cavalcando una nuvola leggiera, entrerà in Egitto; e gl'idoli di Egitto fuggiranno d'innanzi a lui, e il cuor degli Egizi si struggerà in mezzo di loro.
2Ed io farò, dice il Signore, venire alla mischia Egizi contro ad Egizi; e ciascuno combatterà contro al suo fratello, e ciascuno contro al suo prossimo; città contro a città, regno contro a regno.
3E lo spirito dell'Egitto verrà meno nel mezzo di esso; ed io dissiperò il lor consiglio; ed essi domanderanno gl'idoli, e i magi, e gli spiriti di Pitone, e gl'indovini.
4Ed io metterò gli Egizi in mano d'un signore duro, ed un re violento signoreggerà sopra loro, dice il Signore, il Signor degli eserciti.
5E le acque del mare mancheranno, e il fiume sarà seccato ed asciutto.
6E i fiumi si ritrarranno, e i rivi del forte paese scemeranno, e si seccheranno; le canne e i giunchi si appasseranno.
7Le praterie che son presso al fiume, in su la bocca del fiume, e tutti i seminati del fiume si seccheranno, e saranno dissipati e non saranno più.
8E i pescatori si lamenteranno, e tutti quelli che gittano l'amo nel rivo piangeranno, e coloro che stendono la rete sopra le acque languiranno.
9E quelli che fanno lavori di lino finissimo, e che tessono le fine tele bianche, saranno confusi.
10E gli argini di Egitto, di tutti coloro che fanno chiusure per vivai, saranno rotti.
11Certo, i principi di Soan son pazzi; i più savi d'infra i consiglieri di Faraone sono un consiglio insensato; come dite voi a Faraone: Io son figliuolo di savi; io son figliuolo di re antichi?
12Dove sono ora i tuoi savi? dichiarinti ora, e sappiano qual consiglio il Signor degli eserciti ha preso contro all'Egitto.
13I principi di Soan sono impazzati, i principli di Nof sono stati sedotti, ed i capi delle tribù di Egitto l'han traviato.
14Il Signore ha mesciuto in mezzo di esso uno spirito di stordimento, ed essi hanno fatto errar l'Egitto in tutte le sue opere; come l'ubbriaco va errando nel suo vomito.
15E niuna opera, che faccia il capo o la coda, il ramo o il giunco, gioverà all'Egitto.
16In quel giorno gli Egizi saranno come donne; e tremeranno, e saranno spaventati per lo scuotere della mano del Signor degli eserciti, la quale egli scoterà sopra loro.
17E la terra di Giuda sarà in ispavento all'Egitto; chiunque si ricorderà di essa si spaventerà in sè stesso, per lo consiglio del Signor degli eserciti, il quale egli ha preso contro a quello.
18In quel giorno vi saranno cinque città nel paese di Egitto, che parleranno il linguaggio di Canaan, e giureranno al Signor degli eserciti; una di quella sarà chiamata: Città del sole.
19In quel giorno vi sarà, in mezzo del paese di Egitto, un altare consacrato al Signore; e un piliere rizzato al Signore, presso al suo confine.
20E quello sarà per segnale, e per testimonianza al Signor degli eserciti, nel paese di Egitto. Quando gli Egizi grideranno al Signore per li loro oppressatori, egli manderà loro un Salvatore, ed un Grande, che li riscoterà.
21E il Signore sarà conosciuto all'Egitto; e in quel giorno gli Egizi conosceranno il Signore, e faranno il servigio di sacrificii e di offerte; e faranno voti al Signore, e li adempieranno.
22Così il Signore percosterà gli Egizi; e dopo averli percossi, li guarirà; ed essi si convertiranno al Signore, ed egli sarà placato inverso loro, e li sanerà.
23In quel giorno vi sarà una strada di Egitto in Assiria; e l'Assiro verrà in Egitto, e l'Egizio in Assiria; e gli Egizi con gli Assiri serviranno al Signore.
24In quel giorno Israele sarà il terzo con l'Egizio e con l'Assiro; vi sarà benedizione in mezzo della terra.
25Perciocchè il Signor degli eserciti li benedirà, dicendo: Benedetto sia Egitto, mio popolo, ed Assur, opera delle mie mani, ed Israele, mia eredità.
Reina-Valera 1909
1CARGA de Egipto. He aquí que Jehová monta sobre una ligera nube, y entrará en Egipto; y los ídolos de Egipto se moverán delante de él, y desleiráse el corazón de los Egipcios en medio de ellos.
2Y revolveré Egipcios contra Egipcios, y cada uno peleará contra su hermano, cada uno contra su prójimo: ciudad contra ciudad, y reino contra reino.
3Y el espíritu de Egipto se desvanecerá en medio de él, y destruiré su consejo; y preguntarán á sus imágenes, á sus mágicos, á sus pythones y á sus adivinos.
4Y entregaré á Egipto en manos de señor duro; y rey violento se enseñoreará de ellos, dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos.
5Y las aguas de la mar faltarán, y el río se agotará y secará.
6Y alejaránse los ríos, se agotarán y secarán las corrientes de los fosos: la caña y el carrizo serán cortados.
7Las verduras de junto al río, de junto á la ribera del río, y toda sementera del río, se secarán, se perderán, y no serán.
8Los pescadores también se entristecerán; y harán duelo todos los que echan anzuelo en el río, y desfallecerán los que extienden red sobre las aguas.
9Los que labran lino fino, y los que tejen redes, serán confundidos;
10Porque todas sus redes serán rotas: y se entristecerán todos los que hacen viveros para peces.
11Ciertamente son necios los príncipes de Zoán; el consejo de los prudentes consejeros de Faraón, se ha desvanecido. ¿Cómo diréis á Faraón: Yo soy hijo de los sabios, é hijo de los reyes antiguos?
12¿Dónde están ahora aquellos tus prudentes? Dígante ahora, ó hágante saber qué es lo que Jehová de los ejércitos ha determinado sobre Egipto.
13Hanse desvanecido los príncipes de Zoán, se han engañado los príncipes de Noph: engañaron á Egipto las esquinas de sus familias.
14Jehová mezcló espíritu de vahido en medio de él; é hicieron errar á Egipto en toda su obra, como desatina el borracho en su vómito.
15Y no aprovechará á Egipto cosa que haga la cabeza ó la cola, el ramo ó el junco.
16En aquel día serán los Egipcios como mujeres; porque se asombrarán y temerán, en la presencia de la mano alta de Jehová de los ejércitos, que él ha de levantar sobre ellos.
17Y la tierra de Judá será de espanto á Egipto; todo hombre que de ella se acordare se asombrará, por causa del consejo que Jehová de los ejércitos acordó sobre aquél.
18En aquel tiempo habrá cinco ciudades en la tierra de Egipto que hablen la lengua de Canaán, y que juren por Jehová de los ejércitos: una será llamada la ciudad Herez.
19En aquel tiempo habrá altar para Jehová en medio de la tierra de Egipto, y el trofeo de Jehová junto á su término.
20Y será por señal y por testimonio á Jehová de los ejércitos en la tierra de Egipto: porque á Jehová clamarán á causa de sus opresores, y él les enviará salvador y príncipe que los libre.
21Y Jehová será conocido de Egipto, y los de Egipto conocerán á Jehová en aquel día; y harán sacrificio y oblación; y harán votos á Jehová, y los cumplirán.
22Y herirá Jehová á Egipto, herirá y sanará; y se convertirán á Jehová, y les será clemente, y los sanará.
23En aquel tiempo habrá una calzada de Egipto á Asiria, y Asirios entrarán en Egipto, y Egipcios en Asiria; y los Egipcios servirán con los Asirios á Jehová.
24En aquel tiempo, Israel será tercero con Egipto y con Asiria; será bendición en medio de la tierra;
25Porque Jehová de los ejércitos los bendecirá, diciendo: Bendito el pueblo mío Egipto, y el Asirio obra de mis manos, é Israel mi heredad.
King James Version
1The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
22And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
World English Bible
1The burden of Egypt. “Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.
2I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3The spirit of the Egyptians will fail within them. I will destroy their counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
4I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
5The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
6The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
7The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
9Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
10The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
11The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings”?
12Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what the LORD of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.
13The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14The LORD has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
16In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the LORD of Armies’s hand, which he shakes over them.
17The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of the LORD of Armies, which he determines against it.
18In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of Armies. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
19In that day, there will be an altar to the LORD in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.
20It will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
21The LORD will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to the LORD, and will perform it.
22The LORD will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to the LORD, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
23In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth;
25because the LORD of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
