以赛亚书 19
1 论埃及的默示： 看哪，耶和华乘驾快云， 临到埃及。 埃及的偶像在他面前战兢； 埃及人的心在里面消化。
The burden of Egypt. Behold the Lord will ascend upon a swift cloud, and will enter into Egypt, and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst thereof.
2 我必激动埃及人攻击埃及人— 弟兄攻击弟兄， 邻舍攻击邻舍； 这城攻击那城， 这国攻击那国。
And I will set the Egyptians to fight against the Egyptians: and they shall fight brother against brother, and friend against friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 埃及人的心神必在里面耗尽； 我必败坏他们的谋略。 他们必求问偶像和念咒的、 交鬼的、行巫术的。
And the spirit of Egypt shall be broken in the bowels thereof, and I will cast down their counsel: and they shall consult their idols, and their diviners, and their wizards, and soothsayers.
4 我必将埃及人交在残忍主的手中； 强暴王必辖制他们。 这是主—万军之耶和华说的。
And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king shall rule over them, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
5 海中的水必绝尽， 河也消没干涸。
And the water of the sea shall be dried up, and the river shall be wasted and dry.
6 江河要变臭； 埃及的河水都必减少枯干。 苇子和芦荻都必衰残；
And the rivers shall fail: the streams of the banks shall be diminished, and be dried up. The reed and the bulrush shall wither away.
7 靠尼罗河旁的草田， 并沿尼罗河所种的田，都必枯干。 庄稼被风吹去，归于无有。
The channel of the river shall be laid bare from its fountain, and every thing sown by the water shall be dried up, it shall wither away, and shall be no more.
8 打鱼的必哀哭。 在尼罗河一切钓鱼的必悲伤； 在水上撒网的必都衰弱。
The fishers also shall mourn, and all that cast a hook into the river shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish away.
9 用梳好的麻造物的 和织白布的都必羞愧；
They shall be confounded that wrought in flax, combing and weaving fine linen.
10 国柱必被打碎， 所有佣工的，心必愁烦。
And its watery places shall be dry, all they shall mourn that made pools to take fishes.
11 琐安的首领极其愚昧； 法老大有智慧的谋士， 所筹划的成为愚谋。 你们怎敢对法老说： 我是智慧人的子孙， 我是古王的后裔？
The princes of Tanis are become fools, the wise counsellors of Pharao have given foolish counsel: how will you say to Pharao: I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 你的智慧人在哪里呢？ 万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意， 他们可以知道，可以告诉你吧！
Where are now thy wise men? let them tell thee, and shew what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 琐安的首领都变为愚昧； 挪弗的首领都受了迷惑。 当埃及支派房角石的， 使埃及人走错了路。
The princes of Tanis are become fools, the princes of Memphis are gone astray, they have deceived Egypt, the stay of the people thereof.
14 耶和华使乖谬的灵搀入埃及中间； 首领使埃及一切所做的都有差错， 好像醉酒之人呕吐的时候东倒西歪一样。
The Lord hath mingled in the midst thereof the spirit of giddiness: and they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, as a drunken man staggereth and vomiteth.
15 埃及中，无论是头与尾， 棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。
And there shall be no work for Egypt, to make head or tail, him that bendeth down, or that holdeth back.
16 到那日，埃及人必像妇人一样，他们必因万军之耶和华在埃及以上所抡的手，战兢惧怕。
In that day Egypt shall be like unto women, and they shall be amazed, and afraid, because of the moving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall move over it.
17 犹大地必使埃及惊恐，向谁提起犹大地，谁就惧怕。这是因万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意。
And the land of Juda shall be a terror to Egypt: every one that shall remember it shall tremble because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined concerning it.
18 当那日，埃及地必有五城的人说迦南的方言，又指着万军之耶和华起誓。有一城必称为“灭亡城”。
In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of the sun.
19 当那日，在埃及地中必有为耶和华筑的一座坛；在埃及的边界上必有为耶和华立的一根柱。
In that day there shall be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a monument of the Lord at the borders thereof:
20 这都要在埃及地为万军之耶和华作记号和证据。埃及人因为受人的欺压哀求耶和华，他就差遣一位救主作护卫者，拯救他们。
It shall be for a sign, and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressor, and he shall send them a Saviour and a defender to deliver them.
21 耶和华必被埃及人所认识。在那日，埃及人必认识耶和华，也要献祭物和供物敬拜他，并向耶和华许愿还愿。
And the Lord shall be known by Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship him with sacrifices and offerings: and they shall make vows to the Lord, and perform them.
22 耶和华必击打埃及，又击打又医治，埃及人就归向耶和华。他必应允他们的祷告，医治他们。
And the Lord shall strike Egypt with a scourge, and shall heal it, and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall be pacified towards them, and heal them.
23 当那日，必有从埃及通亚述去的大道。亚述人要进入埃及，埃及人也进入亚述；埃及人要与亚述人一同敬拜耶和华。
In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrian.
24 当那日，以色列必与埃及、亚述三国一律，使地上的人得福；
In that day shall Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the land,
25 因为万军之耶和华赐福给他们，说：“埃及—我的百姓，亚述—我手的工作，以色列—我的产业，都有福了！”
Which the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands to the Assyrian: but Israel is my inheritance.
