< 以西結書 32 >

1 十一年十二月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
And in the twelfth yeere in the twelfth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, the worde of the Lord came vnto 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。
Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation for Pharaoh King of Egypt, and say vnto him, Thou art like a lyon of the nations and art as a dragon in the sea: thou castedst out thy riuers and troubledst the waters with thy feete, and stampedst in their riuers.
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。
Thus sayth the Lord God, I will therefore spread my net ouer thee with a great multitude of people, and they shall make thee come vp into 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。
Then will I leaue thee vpon the land, and I will cast thee vpon the open field, and I wil cause all the foules of the heauen to remaine vpon thee, and I will fill all the beastes of the field with thee.
5 我要把你的肉丟在山上,用你的屍首填滿山谷,
And I will lay thy flesh vpon the mountaines, and fill the valleys with thine height.
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 also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, euen to ye mountaines, and the riuers shall be full of thee.
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。
And when I shall put thee out, I will couer the heauen, and make the starres thereof darke: I will couer the sunne with a cloude, and the moone shall not giue her 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 lightes of heauen will I make darke for thee, and bring darkenesse vpon thy lande, sayeth the Lord God.
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 also trouble the heartes of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations and vpon the countries which thou hast not knowen.
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,
Yea, I will make many people amased at thee, and their Kings shalbe astonished with feare for thee, when I shall make my sworde to glitter against their faces, and they shall be afraide at euery moment: euery man for his owne life in the day of thy fall.
11 因為吾主上主這樣說:巴比倫王的刀劍必臨於你。
For thus sayth the Lord God, The sworde of the King of Babel shall come vpon thee.
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。
By the swordes of the mightie will I cause thy multitude to fall: they all shall be terrible nations, and they shall destroy the pompe of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shalbe consumed.
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 destroy also all the beastes thereof from the great watersides, neither shall the foote of man trouble them any more, nor the hooues of beast trouble 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 will I make their waters deepe, and cause their riuers to runne like oyle, sayeth the Lord God.
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 shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the countrey with all that is therein, shall be laid waste: when I shall smite all them which dwell therein, then shall they know that I am ye 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 mourning wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for Egypt, and for all her multitude, sayeth the Lord God.
17 十二年一月十五日,上主的話傳給我說:「
In the twelfth yeere also in the fifteenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto 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)
Sonne of man, lament for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them downe, euen them and the daughters of the mighty nations vnto the nether partes of the earth, with them that goe downe into 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!
Whome doest thou passe in beautie? goe downe and sleepe with the vncircumcised.
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 shall fall in the middes of them that are slaine by the sword: shee is deliuered to the sword: draw her downe, and all her multitude.
21 最英勇的戰士和她的同盟,必從陰府中論及她說:他們也下來了,同未受割損的人,同那些喪身刀下的人,臥在一起。 (Sheol h7585)
The most mighty and strong shall speake to him out of the mids of hell with them that helpe her: they are gone downe and sleepe with the vncircumcised that be slaine by the sworde. (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。
Asshur is there and all his companie: their graues are about him: all they are slaine and fallen by the sworde.
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。
Whose graues are made in the side of the pit, and his multitude are rounde about his graue: all they are slaine and fallen by the sworde, which caused feare to be in the land of the liuing.
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)
There is Elam and all his multitude round about his graue: al they are slaine and fallen by the sword which are gone downe with the vncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused themselues to be feared in the land of the liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that are gone downe 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。
They haue made his bed in the mids of the slaine with al his multitude: their graues are round about him: all these vncircucised are slaine by the sworde: though they haue caused their feare in the land of ye liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that goe downe to the pitte: they are laide in the middes of them, that be slaine.
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。
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude, their graues are round about them: al these vncircumcised were slaine by the sworde, though they caused their feare to be in ye land of the liuing.
27 他們不得與古代已死的英雄臥在一起,這些人帶著武器降入陰府,人們把他們的刀劍放在他們頭下,盾牌放在他們的骨骸上,因為他們曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖。 (Sheol h7585)
And they shall not lie with the valiant of the vncircumcised, that are fallen, which are gone down to the graue, with their weapons of warre, and haue laied their swords vnder their heads, but their iniquitie shalbe vpon their bones: because they were the feare of the mighty in the lande of the liuing. (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。
Yea, thou shalt be broken in the middes of the vncircumcised, and lie with them that are slaine by the sworde.
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。
There is Edom, his Kings, and all his princes, which with their strength are laied by them that were slaine by the sworde: they shall sleepe with the vncircumcised, and with them that goe downe 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。
There be al the princes of the North, with al the Zidonians, which are gone downe with the slaine, with their feare: they are ashamed of their strength, and the vncircumcised sleepe with them that be slaine by the sword, and beare their shame with them that goe downe 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 shall see them, and hee shall be comforted ouer all his multitude: Pharaoh, and all his armie shall be slaine by the sword, saieth the Lord God.
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 haue caused my feare to be in the lande of the liuing: and he shall be laid in the mids of the vncircumcised with them, that are slaine by the sword, euen Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayeth the Lord God.
