Chapter 30 of Ezekiel—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying:
  2. “Son of man, prophesy, and you must say,1 ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Howl, YOU people, ‘Alas for the day!’2
  3. for a day is near, yes, a day belonging to Jehovah is near.3 A day of clouds,4 an appointed time of nations it will prove to be.5
  4. And a sword will certainly come into Egypt,6 and severe pains must occur in E·thi·oʹpi·a[a] when one falls slain in Egypt and they actually take its wealth and its foundations are actually torn down.7
  5. E·thi·oʹpi·a8 and Put9 and Lud and all the mixed company[b]10 and Chub and the sons of the land of the covenant—with them they will fall by the very sword.”’11
  6. ¶ “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘The supporters of Egypt must also fall, and the pride of its strength must come down.’12
    ¶ “‘From Migʹdol13 to Sy·eʹne[c]14 they will fall in it even by the sword,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
  7. ‘They must also be made desolate in the midst of desolated lands, and its own cities will come to be right in the midst of devastated cities.15
  8. And they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I set a fire in Egypt and all its helpers are actually broken.16
  9. In that day messengers will go forth from before me in the ships,[d] in order to drive self-confident E·thi·oʹpi·a into trembling.17 And severe pains must occur among them in the day of Egypt, for, look! it must come.’18
  10. ¶ “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘I will also cause the crowd of Egypt to cease by the hand of Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon.19
  11. He and his people with him, the tyrants of [the] nations,20 are being brought in to reduce the land to ruin. And they must draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.21
  12. And I will make the Nile canals22 dry ground and will sell the land into the hand of bad men,23 and I will cause the land and its fullness to be desolated by the hand of strangers.24 I myself, Jehovah, have spoken.’25
  13. ¶ “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘I will also destroy the dungy idols26 and cause the valueless gods to cease out of Noph,[e]27 and there will no more prove to be a chieftain out of the land of Egypt; and I shall certainly put fear in the land of Egypt.28
  14. And I will bring Pathʹros29 to desolation and set a fire in Zoʹan30 and execute acts of judgment in No.[f]31
  15. And I will pour out my rage32 upon Sin,[g] the fortress of Egypt, and cut off the crowd of No.33
  16. And I will set a fire in Egypt. Sin will without fail be in severe pains, and No itself will come to be for capture by breaches; and as regards Noph—there will be adversaries during the daytime!
  17. As for the young men of On[h]34 and Pi·beʹseth, by the sword they will fall, and into captivity the [cities] themselves will go.
  18. And in Te·haphʹne·hes35 the day will actually grow dark, when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt.36 And in her the pride of her strength will actually be made to cease.37 As for her, clouds themselves will cover her,38 and into captivity her own dependent towns[i] will go.39
  19. And I will execute acts of judgment in Egypt;40 and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’”
  20. ¶ And it occurred further that in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of Jehovah occurred to me, saying:
  21. “Son of man, the arm of Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt I shall certainly break,41 and, look! it will not be bound up at all in order to give [it] healing by putting a bandage on for binding it up,42 for it to become strong to take hold of the sword.”
  22. ¶ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am against Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt,43 and I will break his arms,44 the strong one and the broken one,45 and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.46
  23. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.47
  24. And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon48 and give my sword into his hand,49 and I will break the arms of Pharʹaoh, and as a deadly wounded one he will certainly do a great deal of groaning before him.50
  25. And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the very arms of Pharʹaoh will fall; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I give my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he actually extends it out against the land of Egypt.51
  26. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations52 and disperse them among the lands; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’”

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
