以西結書 32
1 十一年十二月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 人子，你要唱哀歌追悼埃及王法郎，向他說：你曾自比作列國的雄獅，其實你卻似海中的鱷魚，衝入你的河中，用爪攪混了水，弄污了河流。
“Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.’
3 吾主上主這樣說：我要藉列國的聯軍向你張開我的羅網，用我的往把你拖上來。
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will spread My net over you with a company of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net.
4 我要把你丟在地上，拋在田野間，使天上的各種飛鳥落在你身上，使地上的各種野獸吃你個飽。
I will abandon you on the land and hurl you into the open field. I will cause all the birds of the air to settle upon you, and all the beasts of the earth to eat their fill of you.
5 我要把你的肉丟在山上，用你的屍首填滿山谷，
I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
6 用你的流汁灌溉大地，以你的血灌溉至山邊，以你的腐屍填滿溝壑。
I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled.
7 當你被消滅時，我要遮蔽天空，使星辰也昏暗；以雲彩遮住太陽，使月亮不放光明。
When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
8 我要使天上一切照在你身上的光體變為黑暗，使黑暗籠罩你的國土──吾主上主的斷語－－
All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’
9 當我在列國把你滅亡的消息，傳到你不認識的國家時，我要使許多民族心神憂傷。
‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know.
10 當我在他們面前揮動我的刀劍時，我要使許多民族，為了你而驚駭，使她們的君王驚惶失措；在你傾覆之日，他們每人都為自己的性命而戰慄，
I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder in horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.’
11 因為吾主上主這樣說：巴比倫王的刀劍必臨於你。
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
12 我必使你的民眾喪身在眾英雄，即列國中最兇殘之人的刀下；他們必要破壞埃及的光華，消滅她的民眾。
I will make your hordes fall by the swords of the mighty, the most ruthless of all nations. They will ravage the pride of Egypt and all her multitudes will be destroyed.
13 我要從大水之旁，把她所有的牲畜滅絕，人腳不再攪混此水，獸蹄也不再使水混濁；
I will slaughter all her cattle beside the abundant waters. No human foot will muddy them again, and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
14 那時，我要澄清他們的水，使他們的河徐徐流下如油一般──吾主上主的斷語──
Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’
15 當我使埃及地荒蕪，使其他所有的一切荒廢，打擊其中所有居民時，他們必要承認我是上主。
‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation and empty it of all that filled it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’
16 這是列國女子所要唱的哀歌，她們詠唱此歌憑弔埃及其人民──吾主上主的斷語。」
This is the lament they will chant for her; the daughters of the nations will chant it. Over Egypt and all her multitudes they will chant it, declares the Lord GOD.”
17 十二年一月十五日，上主的話傳給我說：「
In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 人子，你要哀悼埃及的民眾，因為我要將她和各強國的女兒推入陰間，同已下到陰府的人在一起。 (questioned)
“Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
19 你比誰更華美呢﹖你下去罷! 同未受割損的人臥在一起罷!
Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
20 他們必倒在喪身刀下的人中，刀已交出，必使她和她的群眾一起喪亡。
They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 在那裏有亞述，她的民眾都圍繞著她的墳墓：他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的。
Assyria is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 他們的墳墓位於極深的坑中，她的民眾圍繞著她的墳墓：他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的，他們曾在活人地上，散布過恐怖。
Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
24 在那裏有厄藍，她的民眾都圍繞著她的墳墓：他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的，未受割損而降入陰間的；他們曾在活人地上，散布過恐怖，所以他們與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。 (questioned)
Elam is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 在喪亡者中為她安置了床榻，她的民眾圍繞著她的墳墓：他們全是未受割損，喪身刀下的，因為他們曾在活人地上，散布過恐怖，所以被安置在被殺的人中，與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。
Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26 在那裏有默舍客和突巴耳，她們的民眾都圍繞著她們的墳墓：他們全是未受割損，喪身刀下的；他們曾在活人地上散布過恐怖。
Meshech and Tubal are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 至於你，你要臥在未受割損的人中，同喪身刀下的人在一起。
But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 在那裏有厄東和她的君王，以及她所有的首長，他們雖然英勇，卻同喪身刀下的人被安置在一起，同未受割損而下到深淵的人臥在一起。
Edom is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.
30 在那裏有北方的一切首領和所有的漆冬人，他們雖然英勇，令人驚駭，也同被殺者一起下去了；他們同未受割損的人和喪身刀下的臥在一起，與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。
All the leaders of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down in disgrace with the slain, despite the terror of their might. They lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bear their shame with those who descend to the Pit.
31 法郎看見那些人，便為自己所有的人民，感到安慰，因為法郎和他的軍隊也都是喪身刀下的──吾主上主的斷語──
Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude— Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,
32 因為他曾在活人地上，散布過恐怖，所以法郎和他所有的人民，也都要臥在未受割損的人中，與喪身刀下的人在一起──吾主上主的斷語。」
For I will spread My terror in the land of the living, so that Pharaoh and all his multitude will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword,
