以賽亞書 19
1 有關埃及的神諭：看，上主乘著輕快的彩雲，來到了埃及，埃及的偶像在他面前戰慄，埃及人的心靈在己身內消溶。
The birthun of Egipt. Lo! the Lord schal stie on a liyt cloude, and he schal entre in to Egipt; and the symilacris of Egipt schulen be mouyd fro his face, and the herte of Egipt schal faile in the myddis therof.
2 我要激動埃及人相反埃及人，使人人與自己的兄弟相鬥，人人與自己的近人作對，城與城爭，國與國戰。
And Y schal make Egipcians to renne togidere ayens Egipcians, and a man schal fiyte ayens his brother, and a man ayens his frend, a citee ayens a citee, and a rewme ayens a rewme.
3 埃及的精神要紛亂，我要混亂她的計謀；為此他們必要去卜問神明、巫覡、陰魂和術士。
And the spirit of Egipt schal be brokun in the entrailis therof, and Y schal caste doun the councel therof; and thei schulen axe her symylacris, and her false diuinouris, and her men that han vncleene spiritis spekinge in the wombe, and her dyuynouris bi sacrifices maad on auteris to feendis.
4 我要把埃及交在暴君手中，暴虐的君王要統治他們－－這是主，萬軍上主的斷語。
And Y schal bitake Egipt in to the hond of cruel lordis, and a strong kyng schal be lord of hem, seith the Lord God of oostis.
5 海洋的水將乾涸，江河將荒涼乾旱；
And watir of the see schal wexe drie, and the flood schal be desolat, and schal be dried.
6 水道都將發臭，埃及的河渠都要轉弱乾涸；蘆荻和昌蒲必將萎謝；
And the floodis schulen faile, and the strondis of the feeldis schulen be maad thynne, and schulen be dried; a rehed and spier schal fade.
7 河畔的蘆葦必將枯萎，沿河的植物，盡將凋零，吹散，消滅。
The botme of watir schal be maad nakid, and stremys fro her welle; and the moiste place of al seed schal be dried, schal waxe drie, and schal not be.
8 漁夫必要呻吟嘆息，河畔垂釣者必要悲傷，水面撒網者必要沮喪。
And fischeris schulen morne, and alle that casten hook in to the flood, schulen weile; and thei that spreden abrood a net on the face of watris, schulen fade.
9 種植亞麻者必要羞慚，理麻婦與紡織工也都要面色蒼白。
Thei schulen be schent, that wrouyten flex, foldynge and ordeynynge sutil thingis.
10 她的顯貴將受輕視，受僱的工人莫不意志消沉。
And the watir places therof schulen be drye; alle that maden poondis to take fischis, schulen be schent.
11 左罕的首領極其愚蠢，法郎的謀士出的，盡是糊塗計謀；你們怎敢對法郎說：「我是賢者的子孫，古代帝王的後裔﹖」
The fonned princes of Tafnys, the wise counselouris of Farao, yauen vnwise counsel; hou schulen ye seie to Farao, Y am the sone of wise men, the sone of elde kyngis?
12 你的賢士如今在那裏﹖何不讓他們告訴你知道，萬軍的上主對埃及打了什麼主意！
Where ben now thi wise men? Telle thei to thee, and schewe thei, what the Lord of oostis thouyte on Egipt.
13 左罕的首領都夠糊塗，諾夫的首領被人愚弄，各州的諸侯使埃及陷入迷途。
The princes of Tafnys ben maad foolis; the princes of Memphis fadiden; thei disseyueden Egipt, a corner of the puplis therof.
14 上主在他們中間注入了昏神，叫他們使埃及在自己所作的事上無不錯亂，有如醉漢在嘔吐中打滾。
The Lord meddlid a spirit of errour in the myddis therof; and thei maden Egipt for to erre in al his werk, as a drunkun man and spuynge errith.
15 不論是為首的、為尾的、為棕枝的、或為蘆葦的作什麼，為埃及無所作為。
And werk schal not be to Egipt, that it make an heed and tail bowynge and refreynynge.
16 到那天，埃及面對著正在她身上揮動著的萬軍上主的手臂，將如婦女般的戰慄害怕。
In that dai Egipt schal be as wymmen, and thei schulen be astonyed, and schulen drede of the face of the mouynge of the hoond of the Lord of oostis, which he mouede on it.
17 猶大地將成為埃及的恐怖；凡提及她的，無不對萬軍的上主對埃及所打的主意而害怕。
And the lond of Juda schal be to Egipt in to drede; ech that schal thenke on it, schal drede of the face of the counsel of the Lord of oostis, whiche he thouyte on it.
18 到那天，在埃及境內將有五座城說客納罕話，並指著萬軍的上主起誓，且有一座稱作「太陽城。」
In that dai fyue citees schulen be in the lond of Egipt, and schulen speke with the tunge of Canaan, and schulen swere bi the Lord of oostis; the citee of the sunne schal be clepid oon.
19 到那天，在埃及地域中，將有一座獻與上主的祭壇，在她的邊界上，將有一個為上主建立的石柱。
In that dai the auter of the Lord schal be in the myddis of the lond of Egipt, and the title of the Lord schal be bisidis the ende therof;
20 這在埃及境內，將成為萬軍上主的記號和證據：當他們面臨迫害呼號上主時，他必給他們遣發一位救主，來奮鬥拯救他們。
and it schal be in to a signe and witnessyng to the Lord of oostis, in the lond of Egipt. For thei schulen crie to the Lord fro the face of the troblere, and he schal sende a sauyour to hem, and a forfiytere, that schal delyuere hem.
21 到那天，上主將為埃及所認識，埃及要認識上主，並奉獻犧牲和祭品，向上主許願還願。
And the Lord schal be knowun of Egipt, and Egipcians schulen knowe the Lord in that dai; and thei schulen worschipe hym in sacrifices and yiftis, and thei schulen make vowis to the Lord, and thei schulen paie.
22 上主將打擊埃及，打擊只是為醫治；他們要歸依上主，上主要俯聽他們，要醫治他們。
And the Lord schal smyte Egipt with a wounde, and schal make it hool; and Egipcians schulen turne ayen to the Lord, and he schal be plesid in hem, and he schal make hem hool.
23 到那天，將有一條大路，由埃及通至亞述：亞述人要到埃及去，埃及人要到亞述來；埃及和亞述將共同敬拜上主。
In that dai a wei schal be fro Egipt in to Assiriens, and Egipcians schulen serue Assur; and Assur schal entre in to Egipt, and Egipt in to Assiriens.
24 到那天，以色列將屬第三，聯同埃及和亞述成為大地上受祝福的，
In that dai Israel schal be the thridde to Egipt and to Assur, the blessyng in the myddil of erthe;
25 因為萬軍的上主曾這樣祝福說：「我的百姓埃及，我雙手的工程亞述，我的嗣業以色列，是應受祝福的！」
whom the Lord of oostis blesside, seiynge, Blessid be my puple of Egipt, and the werk of myn hondis be to Assiriens; but myne eritage be to Israel.
