< 以西结书 32 >

1 十二年十二月初一日,耶和华的话临到我说:
In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊,你要为埃及王法老作哀歌,说: 从前你在列国中,如同少壮狮子; 现在你却像海中的大鱼。 你冲出江河, 用爪搅动诸水, 使江河浑浊。
“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 主耶和华如此说: 我必用多国的人民, 将我的网撒在你身上, 把你拉上来。
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 我必将你丢在地上, 抛在田野, 使空中的飞鸟都落在你身上, 使遍地的野兽吃你得饱。
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 我必将你的肉丢在山间, 用你高大的尸首填满山谷。
I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
6 我又必用你的血浇灌你所游泳之地, 漫过山顶; 河道都必充满。
I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled.
7 我将你扑灭的时候, 要把天遮蔽, 使众星昏暗, 以密云遮掩太阳, 月亮也不放光。
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 我必使天上的亮光都在你以上变为昏暗, 使你的地上黑暗。 这是主耶和华说的。
All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’
9 “我使你败亡的风声传到你所不认识的各国。那时,我必使多民的心因你愁烦。
‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know.
10 我在许多国民和君王面前向你抡我的刀,国民就必因你惊奇,君王也必因你极其恐慌。在你仆倒的日子,他们各人为自己的性命时刻战兢。”
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 主耶和华如此说:“巴比伦王的刀必临到你。
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
12 我必借勇士的刀使你的众民仆倒;这勇士都是列国中强暴的。 他们必使埃及的骄傲归于无有; 埃及的众民必被灭绝。
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 我必从埃及多水旁除灭所有的走兽; 人脚兽蹄必不再搅浑这水。
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 那时,我必使埃及河澄清, 江河像油缓流。 这是主耶和华说的。
Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’
15 我使埃及地变为荒废凄凉; 这地缺少从前所充满的, 又击杀其中一切的居民。 那时,他们就知道我是耶和华。
‘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 “人必用这哀歌去哀哭,列国的女子为埃及和她的群众也必以此悲哀。这是主耶和华说的。”
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 十二年十二月十五日,耶和华的话临到我说:
In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “人子啊,你要为埃及群众哀号,又要将埃及和有名之国的女子,并下坑的人,一同扔到阴府去。
“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 你埃及的美丽胜过谁呢? 你下去与未受割礼的人一同躺卧吧!
Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
20 他们必在被杀的人中仆到。她被交给刀剑,要把她和她的群众拉去。
They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
21 强盛的勇士要在阴间对埃及王和帮助他的说话;他们是未受割礼被杀的人,已经下去,躺卧不动。 (Sheol h7585)
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 “亚述和她的众民都在那里,她民的坟墓在她四围;他们都是被杀倒在刀下的。
Assyria is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 他们的坟墓在坑中极深之处。她的众民在她坟墓的四围,都是被杀倒在刀下的;他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐。
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 “以拦也在那里,她的群众在她坟墓的四围,都是被杀倒在刀下、未受割礼而下阴府的;他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐,并且与下坑的人一同担当羞辱。
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 人给她和她的群众在被杀的人中设立床榻。她民的坟墓在她四围,他们都是未受割礼被刀杀的;他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐,并且与下坑的人一同担当羞辱。以拦已经放在被杀的人中。
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 “米设、土巴,和她们的群众都在那里。她民的坟墓在她四围,他们都是未受割礼被刀杀的;他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐。
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.
27 他们不得与那未受割礼仆倒的勇士一同躺卧;这些勇士带着兵器下阴间,头枕刀剑,骨头上有本身的罪孽;他们曾在活人之地使勇士惊恐。 (Sheol h7585)
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 “法老啊,你必在未受割礼的人中败坏,与那些被杀的人一同躺卧。
But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 “以东也在那里。她君王和一切首领虽然仗着势力,还是放在被杀的人中;他们必与未受割礼的和下坑的人一同躺卧。
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 “在那里有北方的众王子和一切西顿人,都与被杀的人下去。他们虽然仗着势力使人惊恐,还是蒙羞。他们未受割礼,和被刀杀的一同躺卧,与下坑的人一同担当羞辱。
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 “法老看见他们,便为他被杀的军队受安慰。这是主耶和华说的。
Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude— Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,
32 我任凭法老在活人之地使人惊恐,法老和他的群众必放在未受割礼和被杀的人中。这是主耶和华说的。”
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,
