以西結書 29
1 十年十月十二日，上主的話傳給我說：「
In the tenth yeere, and in the tenth moneth in the twelfth day of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 人子，你面向埃及王法郎，講預言攻擊他和埃及全國。
Sonne of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the King of Egypt, and prophecie against him, and against all Egypt.
3 你應發言說：吾主上主這樣說：埃及王法郎，你這臥在河中的大鱷魚! 看，我要攻擊你；你曾說過：『河是我的，是我造成的。』
Speake, and say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I come against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon, that lieth in the middes of his riuers, which hath saide, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it for my selfe.
4 但是我要用鉤子鉤住你的鰓，使你河中的魚都附在你的鱗上，將你和你河中所有附在你鱗上的魚，從河中拉上來；
But I will put hookes in thy chawes, and I will cause the fish of thy riuers to sticke vnto thy scales, and I will drawe thee out of the middes of thy riuers, and all the fishe of thy riuers shall sticke vnto thy scales.
5 將你和你河中的魚拋在曠野；你要倒斃在地面上，而無人收殮，也無人掩埋；我要把你交給地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥作食物；
And I will leaue thee in the wildernes, both thee and al the fish of thy riuers: thou shalt fal vpon ye open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I haue giue thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the foules of heauen.
6 如此，所有埃及的居民便承認我是上主，因為你曾作過支持以色列家族的蘆葦，
And al the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they haue ben a staffe of reede to the house of Israel.
7 當他們手中握著你時，你就破裂了，刺傷了他們的手掌；他們依靠你時，你就折斷了，使他們的腰顫慄；
When they tooke holde of thee with their hand, thou diddest breake, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned vpon thee, thou brakest and madest all their loynes to stand vpright.
8 為此，吾主上主這樣說：看，我要使刀臨於你，消滅你境內的人和獸，
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will bring a sworde vpon thee, and destroy man and beast out of thee,
9 埃及地將成為荒野沙漠：這樣，他們便承認我是上主；因為你說過：『河是我的，是我造成的。』
And the land of Egypt shalbe desolate, and waste, and they shall know that I am ye Lord: because he hath said, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it,
10 為此，看，我要攻擊你和你的河，我要使埃及地，由米革多耳到色威乃，直到雇士邊界，都成為荒野和沙漠。
Behold, therefore I come vpon thee, and vpon thy riuers, and I will make the land of Egypt vtterly waste and desolate from the towre of Seueneh, euen vnto the borders of the blacke Mores.
11 人足不再經過那裏，獸蹄也不從那裏踏過；無人居住凡四十年之久。
No foote of man shall passe by it, nor foote of beast shall passe by it, neither shall it be inhabited fourtie yeeres.
12 我要使埃及地成為荒蕪地中最荒蕪的，使她的城變為荒廢城中最荒廢的，凡四十年之久；我便要把埃及人分散到外邦，散佈在各地。
And I wil make the land of Egypt desolate in the middes of the countries, that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for fourtie yeeres: and I wil scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and wil disperse them through the countreis.
13 因為吾主上主這樣說：過了四十年，我必從各民族中把四散的埃及人聚集起來，
Yet thus saieth the Lord God, At the end of fourtie yeeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered,
14 我要轉變埃及人的命運，領他們回到他們出生的帕特洛斯地方，他們要在那裏成立一個小國。
And I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathros, into the lande of their habitation, and they shalbe there a small kingdome.
15 在萬國中她是最小的，再也不得高踞萬民之上；我還要減少他們的人數，使她不再統治列國，
It shall be the smallest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more aboue the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations.
16 也不再做以色列家族的靠山，卻使以色列記起求救於他們的罪行：如此，他們必承認我是上主。」
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their iniquitie to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they knowe, that I am the Lord God.
17 二十七年一月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
In the seuen and twentieth yeere also in the first moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, came the word of the Lord vnto me, saying,
18 人子，巴比倫王拿步高為攻打提洛，使自己的軍隊服了重役，他們的頭都禿了肩也磨破了；但是他和他的軍隊為攻打提洛所服的重役，從提洛卻沒有報酬；
Sonne of man, Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel caused his armie to serue a great seruice against Tyrus: euery head was made balde, and euery shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages, nor his armie for Tyrus, for the seruice that he serued against it.
19 為此吾主上主這樣說：看，我必將埃及地交給巴比倫王拿步高，他要運走她的財富，奪去她的掠物，搶去她的戰利品，作為自己軍隊的報酬。
Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I will giue the land of Egypt vnto Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoyle her spoyle, and take her pray, and it shall be the wages for his armie.
20 我將埃及地賜給他，作為他服役的報酬，因為他們為我而工作──吾主上主的斷語──
I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour, that he serued against it, because they wrought for me, sayth the Lord God.
21 在那一天我要給以色列興起一位大能者，我要使你在他們中間開口：如此他們必承認我是上主。」
In that day will I cause the horne of the house of Israel to growe, and I will giue thee an open mouth in the middes of them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
