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 prophecy concerning Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, And cometh to Egypt; The gods of Egypt tremble at his presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth within her.
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。
“I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; Brother shall fight against brother, And neighbor against neighbor; City against city, And 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。
The spirit of Egypt shall fail within her, And her devices I will bring to naught. Then shall they consult the idols, and the sorcerers, And the necromancers, and the wizards.
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。
But I will give up the Egyptians to the hands of a cruel lord, And a fierce king shall rule over them,” Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
5 海中的水必绝尽， 河也消没干涸。
Then shall the waters fail from the river, Yea, the river shall be wasted and dried up.
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；
The streams shall become putrid; The canals of Egypt shall be emptied and dried up; The reed and the rush shall wither.
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 meadows by the river, by the borders of the river, And all that groweth by the river, Shall wither, be blasted, and 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。
Then shall the fishermen mourn; All they that cast the hook into the river shall lament, And they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
9 用梳好的麻造物的 和织白布的都必羞愧；
They, also, that work in flax, And they that weave white linen, shall be confounded.
10 国柱必被打碎， 所有佣工的，心必愁烦。
Her pillars are broken down, And all who labor for hire are grieved in heart.
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？
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; The wise counsellors of Pharaoh have been stupid in their counsels. How, then, can ye say to Pharaoh, “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 they now, thy wise men? Let them tell thee now, so that men may know it, What Jehovah of hosts hath determined concerning 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 Zoan are become fools; The princes of Noph are deceived, Even the chiefs of her tribes have caused Egypt to err.
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。
Jehovah hath mingled within her a spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all her works, As a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
15 埃及中，无论是头与尾， 棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。
There shall be nothing which can be done by Egypt, By the head, or the tail, the palm-branch, or the rush.
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 shall the Egyptians be like women; They shall tremble and fear On account of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, Which he shall shake against them.
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。
The land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt; Every one to whom it is mentioned shall tremble On account of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, Which he hath determined against them.
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 Canaan, And swearing by Jehovah of hosts; One of them 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 to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, And in the border of it a pillar to Jehovah,
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。
Which shall be a sign and a witness For Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt, That they cried to Jehovah on account of their oppressors, And he sent them a saviour, and a defender, who delivered 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。
Thus shall Jehovah be made known to Egypt, And the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, And shall offer him sacrifices and oblations; They shall make vows to Jehovah, 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。
Thus Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal her; They shall return to Jehovah; Therefore will he hear 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 shall there he a highway from Egypt to Assyria, And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, And the Egyptian into Assyria, And the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
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 In connection with Egypt and Assyria, A blessing in the midst of the earth.
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！”
Jehovah of hosts shall bless them, and say, Blessed be Egypt, my people, And Assyria, the work of my hands, And Israel, my inheritance!
