Isaiah 19 — Novel English Bible

1 The mashaa (burden) of Matzarayam (Egypt): “Behold, Yahawah () rakab (rides) on a qal (swift) ib (cloud), and bawaa (come) to Matzarayam (Egypt). The alayalay (idols) of Matzarayam (Egypt) will tremble at his panayam (face); and the labab (heart) of Matzarayam (Egypt) will masas (melt) in its qarab (among / near).

2 I will stir up the Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) against the Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and they will lacham (fight) everyone against his ach (brother/kinsman), and everyone against his neighbor; iyar (city) against iyar (city), and mamalakah (kingdom) against mamalakah (kingdom).

3 The rawach (spirit / wind) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) will baqaq (fail) in its qarab (among / near). I will balai (destroy) its itzah (counsel). They will darash (seek) the alayalayam (idols), the atayam (charmers), those who have familiar abawath (spirits), and the yadainayam (wizards).

4 I will sakar (give) over the Matzarayam (Egyptians) into the yad (hand) of a qashah (rough / hard) Adawan (). A iz (fierce) malak (king) will mashal (rule/have dominion) over them,” naam (declares prophetically) the Adawan (), Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies).

5 The mayam (Waters) will nashath (fail) from the yam (sea/waters), and the nahar (river) will be charab (wasted) and become yabash (dry land).

6 The naharawath (rivers) will become foul. The yaaray (streams) of Matzawar (Egypt) will be diminished and charab (dried) up. The qanah (reeds) and sawap (flags) will qamal (wither) away.

7 The meadows by the Yaar (Nile), by the brink of the Yaar (Nile), and all the mazarai (sown) fields of the Yaar (Nile), will become yabash (dry land), be nadap (driven) away, and be no more.

8 The fishermen will anah (lament), and all those who fish in the Yaar (Nile) will abal (mourn), and those who parash (spread) makamarath (nets) on the mayam (Waters) will amal (languish).

9 Moreover those who ibad (servant) in combed pashathah (flax), and those who weave white cloth, will be bawash (confounded).

10 The pillars will be dakaa (broken) in pieces. All those who ishah (make) for hire will be grieved in napash (soul).

11 The sharay (princes) of Tzain (Zoan) are utterly awayal (foolish). The itzah (counsel) of the wisest counselors of Paraih (Pharaoh) has become stupid. How do you amar (said) to Paraih (Pharaoh), “I am the ban (son) of the chakam (wise), the ban (son) of qadam (ancient) malakay (kings)?”

12 Ay (where) then are your chakam (wise) men? Let them nagad (tell) you now; and yadai (let) them know what Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies) has yaitz (purposed) concerning Matzarayam (Egypt).

13 The sharay (princes) of Tzain (Zoan) have yaal (become) fools. The sharay (princes) of Nap (Memphis) are nashaa (lift). They have caused Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) to thaih (go) astray, who are the cornerstone of her shabat (tribes).

14 Yahawah () has mixed a rawach (spirit / wind) of perverseness in the qarab (among / near) of her; and they have caused Matzarayam (Egypt) to thaih (go) astray in all of its maishah (works), like a shakawar (drunken) man hathaiw (staggers) in his qaa (vomit).

15 Neither shall there be any maishah (work) for Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), which raash (head) or zanab (tail), palm kapah (branch) or agamawan (rush), may ishah (make).

16 In that yawam (day) the Matzarayam (Egyptians) will be like nashayam (women). They will charad (tremble) and pachad (fear / dread) panayam (face) of the thanawapah (shaking) of the yad (hand) of Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), which he nawap (shakes) over them.

17 The adamah (land) of Yahawadah (Judah) will become a chagaa (terror) to Matzarayam (Egypt). Everyone to whom zakar (remember) is pachad (fear / dread) of it will be afraid, panayam (face) of the plans of Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), which he yaitz (determines) against it.

18 In that yawam (day), there will be chamash (five) irayam (cities) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt) that dabar (word / matter) the shapah (language) of Kanain (Canaan), and shabai (swear / take oath) to Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies). Achad (one) will be amar (spoke) “The iyar (city) of haras (destruction).”

19 In that yawam (day), there will be an mazabach (altar) to Yahawah () in the thawak (midst) of the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt), and a matzabah (pillar) to Yahawah () at its gabawal (border/boundary).

20 It will be for a awath (sign / mark / miracle) and for a id (until / as far as) to Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt); for they will tzaiq (cry) to Yahawah () panayam (face) of lachatzayam (oppressors), and he will shalach (send) them a savior and a defender, and he will natzal (deliver) them.

21 Yahawah () yadai (will) be known to Matzarayam (Egypt), and the Matzarayam (Egyptians) yadai (will) know Yahawah () in that yawam (day). Yes, they will ibad (servant) with zabach (sacrifice) and manachah (offering), and will nadar (vow) a nadar (make vow) to Yahawah (), and will shalam (perform) it.

22 Yahawah () will nagap (strike) Matzarayam (Egypt), nagap (striking) and rapaa (healing). They will shawab (turn back / repent) to Yahawah (), and he will be entreated by them, and will rapaa (heal) them.

23 In that yawam (day) there will be a masalah (highway) out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) to Ashawar (Assyria), and the Ashawar (Assyrian) shall bawaa (bring) into Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and the Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) into Ashawar (Assyria); and the Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) will ibad (servant) with the Ashawar (Assyrians).

24 In that yawam (day), Yashar-Al (Israel) will be the shalayashay (third) with Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) and with Ashawar (Assyria), a barakah (blessing) in the qarab (among / near) of the aratz (Earth/land);

25 Because Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies) has barak (blessed) them, amar (spoke), “barak (blessed) be Matzarayam (Egypt) my im (nation / people), Ashawar (Assyria) the maishah (work) of my yad (hand), and Yashar-Al (Israel) my nachalah (inheritance).”
