以西結書 30
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
The word of Jehovah came again 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, Alas! alas for 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 is near, the day of Jehovah is near! A day of clouds, the time of the nations is come.
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。
The sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be destroyed.
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。
Ethiopia, and Lybia, and Lydia, and all her auxiliaries, and Chub, and the men of every country that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
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──
Thus saith Jehovah: They that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in her by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 they shall be laid waste in the midst of the lands that are laid waste, and her cities shall be amongst the cities that are desolate.
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 Jehovah, when I have brought a fire into Egypt, and all her helpers shall be destroyed.
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 from me in ships, to make the confident Ethiopians afraid; and anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for behold, it cometh!
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the 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。
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to make the land desolate; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the 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 the rivers dry, and I will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will lay waste the land and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers; I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
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，
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will destroy the idols, and cause the images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt; and I will bring fear upon the land of Egypt:
14 使帕特洛斯變為曠野，在左罕點火，對諾施行懲罰。
And I will lay waste Pathros, and bring a fire upon Zoan, and execute judgments upon No.
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 fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt, and I will cut off the multitude of No.
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 bring a fire upon Egypt; Sin shall tremble, and No shall be broken through, and Noph shall be plundered by day.
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 young men of On and of Pibeseth 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。
At Tahpanhes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yoke of Egypt, and the pride of her strength shall cease within her. A cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 當我對埃及施行懲罰時，他們必承認我是上主。」
Thus will I execute judgments upon Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
20 十一年一月初七日，上主的話傳給我說：「
Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah 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 arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and lo, it is not bound up, so as to have medicines applied to it; a bandage is not applied to it, to make it strong to hold 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; and I will break his arms, both the strong one, and that which was broken, and I will cause the sword to fall 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 scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through 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。
But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and will put my sword into his hand, and break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
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。
Yea, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon 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 scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
