以西結書 30
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 人子，你要講預言說：吾主上主這樣說：你們應悲哀；禍哉，那一日!
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!
3 因為那一日近了，上主的日子近了，那是密雲的日子，是異民的終期。
For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.
4 刀劍必臨於埃及；傷亡者橫臥在埃及時，恐怖必籠罩著雇士。她的財富必被搶去，她的基礎必被拆毀。
And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.
5 雇士、普特、路得和一切雜族，利比亞和同他們結盟的本地人，都要喪身刀下。
Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.
6 上主這樣說：凡支持埃及的人都要喪亡，她驕傲的勢力必要衰落，由米革多耳到色威乃的人，必喪身刀下──吾主上主的斷語──
And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.
7 她要在荒蕪地帶中，成為最荒蕪的；她的城在荒廢的城中，將成為最荒廢的。
And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:
8 當我在埃及點火時，凡輔佐她的都要毀滅，那時他們便承認我是上主。
and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.
9 在那一日，我必派遣使主，乘著船，恐嚇安居的雇士；恐怖必要籠罩他們，如埃及的日子。看，已來到了。
In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult amongst them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.
10 吾主上主這樣說：我要藉巴比倫王拿步高的手，消滅埃及的民眾。
Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,
11 他和跟他來的人民，是萬民中最兇殘的；他們被派來，是為破壞此地；他們將拔刀攻打埃及，使此地充滿傷亡的人。
his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.
12 我要使河流成為乾地，把此地賣給惡人，藉外人的手破壞此地和此地的一切：這是我，上主說的。
And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.
13 吾主上主這樣說：我必要消滅偶像，使邪神由諾夫絕跡，由埃及再不出現王侯；使恐怖降在埃及地，
For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.
14 使帕特洛斯變為曠野，在左罕點火，對諾施行懲罰。
And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.
15 我要向新──埃及的要塞，發洩我的怒氣，剷除諾的民眾。
And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.
16 我要在埃及點火，新必因恐怖而戰慄，諾必被破壞，諾夫白日遭受敵人攻擊。
And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.
17 翁及丕貝色特的壯丁必喪身刀下，二城的人都要被擄去。
The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.
18 當我在塔黑培乃斯打斷埃及的權杖，消滅她驕傲的勢力時，白日將變為黑暗，烏雲籠罩著她，她的女兒也要被擄去。
And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the sceptres of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.
19 當我對埃及施行懲罰時，他們必承認我是上主。」
And I will execute judgement on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
20 十一年一月初七日，上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 人子，我打斷了埃及王法郎的臂膊，看，沒有人包紮，沒有人敷藥，或用繃帶裹起，使臂膊有力拿劍。
Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.
22 為此，吾主上主這樣說：看，我要打擊埃及王法郎，打斷他那還有力量的臂膊，使刀由他手中跌落。
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.
23 我要將埃及人分散到外邦，把他們散布在各地。
And I will disperse the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them amongst the countries.
24 我必要加強巴比倫王的臂膊，把我的刀放在他手中；我要打斷法郎的臂膊，使他在那人面前呻吟，像受傷的人呻吟一樣。
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.
25 我要加強巴比倫王的臂膊，而法郎的臂膊反要衰弱；當我把我的刀交在巴比倫王手中，使他伸向埃及地時，他們便要承認我是上主。
Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.
26 我要將埃及人分散到外邦，把他們散佈在各地：如此，他們便要承認我是上主。」
And I will disperse the Egyptians amongst the nations, and utterly scatter them amongst the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
