以西结书 29
1 第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说：
In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊，你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地，
Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
3 说主耶和华如此说： 埃及王法老啊， 我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌。 你曾说：这河是我的， 是我为自己造的。
and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
4 我—耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊， 又使江河中的鱼贴住你的鳞甲； 我必将你和所有贴住你鳞甲的鱼， 从江河中拉上来，
And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
5 把你并江河中的鱼都抛在旷野； 你必倒在田间， 不被收殓，不被掩埋。 我已将你给地上野兽、空中飞鸟作食物。
and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
6 “埃及一切的居民，因向以色列家成了芦苇的杖，就知道我是耶和华。
And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 他们用手持住你，你就断折，伤了他们的肩；他们倚靠你，你就断折，闪了他们的腰。
When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
8 所以主耶和华如此说：我必使刀剑临到你，从你中间将人与牲畜剪除。
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
9 埃及地必荒废凄凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。 “因为法老说：‘这河是我的，是我所造的’，
and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
10 所以我必与你并你的江河为敌，使埃及地，从色弗尼塔直到古实境界，全然荒废凄凉。
Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
11 人的脚、兽的蹄都不经过，四十年之久并无人居住。
No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
12 我必使埃及地在荒凉的国中成为荒凉，使埃及城在荒废的城中变为荒废，共有四十年。我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。”
And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
13 主耶和华如此说：“满了四十年，我必招聚分散在各国民中的埃及人。
Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;
14 我必叫埃及被掳的人回来，使他们归回本地巴忒罗。在那里必成为低微的国，
and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
15 必为列国中最低微的，也不再自高于列国之上。我必减少他们，以致不再辖制列国。
and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] among the nations.
16 埃及必不再作以色列家所倚靠的；以色列家仰望埃及人的时候，便思念罪孽。他们就知道我是主耶和华。”
And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “人子啊，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵大大效劳，攻打泰尔，以致头都光秃，肩都磨破；然而他和他的军兵攻打泰尔，并没有从那里得什么酬劳。
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
19 所以主耶和华如此说：我必将埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒；他必掳掠埃及群众，抢其中的财为掳物，夺其中的货为掠物，这就可以作他军兵的酬劳。
Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
20 我将埃及地赐给他，酬他所效的劳，因王与军兵是为我勤劳。这是主耶和华说的。
In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:
21 “当那日，我必使以色列家的角发生，又必使你—以西结在他们中间得以开口；他们就知道我是耶和华。”
In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
