1.3 KiB
Yahweh says this
"This is what Yahweh says." This sentence introduces what the Lord would say.
So the ones
"In this way, the peoples" or "In this manner, the nations"
who support Egypt
"who help Egypt"
will fall
"will die" or "come to ruin"
the pride of her strength will go down
This represents Egypt no longer being proud of their strength. The reason that they will not be proud is that they will no longer be strong. Alternate translation: "Egypt will no longer be proud about being strong" or "Egypt will no longer have the strength that they were so proud of" (See:rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
From Migdol to Syene
Ezekiel names towns on the borders of Egypt in order to refer to all of Egypt. Alternate translation: "In all of Egypt" or "From the northern border of Egypt to the southern border of Egypt" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-merism)
this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:11. Alternate translation: "this is what the Lord Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, have declared" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
