以西結書 29
1 第十年十月十二日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
In the tenth yeere, and in the tenth moneth in the twelfth day of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要向埃及王法老預言攻擊他和埃及全地，
Sonne of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the King of Egypt, and prophecie against him, and against all Egypt.
3 說主耶和華如此說： 埃及王法老啊， 我與你這臥在自己河中的大魚為敵。 你曾說：這河是我的， 是我為自己造的。
Speake, and say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I come against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon, that lieth in the middes of his riuers, which hath saide, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it for my selfe.
4 我－耶和華必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰， 又使江河中的魚貼住你的鱗甲； 我必將你和所有貼住你鱗甲的魚， 從江河中拉上來，
But I will put hookes in thy chawes, and I will cause the fish of thy riuers to sticke vnto thy scales, and I will drawe thee out of the middes of thy riuers, and all the fishe of thy riuers shall sticke vnto thy scales.
5 把你並江河中的魚都拋在曠野； 你必倒在田間， 不被收殮，不被掩埋。 我已將你給地上野獸、空中飛鳥作食物。
And I will leaue thee in the wildernes, both thee and al the fish of thy riuers: thou shalt fal vpon ye open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I haue giue thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the foules of heauen.
6 「埃及一切的居民，因向以色列家成了蘆葦的杖，就知道我是耶和華。
And al the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they haue ben a staffe of reede to the house of Israel.
7 他們用手持住你，你就斷折，傷了他們的肩；他們倚靠你，你就斷折，閃了他們的腰。
When they tooke holde of thee with their hand, thou diddest breake, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned vpon thee, thou brakest and madest all their loynes to stand vpright.
8 所以主耶和華如此說：我必使刀劍臨到你，從你中間將人與牲畜剪除。
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will bring a sworde vpon thee, and destroy man and beast out of thee,
9 埃及地必荒廢淒涼，他們就知道我是耶和華。 「因為法老說：『這河是我的，是我所造的』，
And the land of Egypt shalbe desolate, and waste, and they shall know that I am ye Lord: because he hath said, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it,
10 所以我必與你並你的江河為敵，使埃及地，從色弗尼塔直到古實境界，全然荒廢淒涼。
Behold, therefore I come vpon thee, and vpon thy riuers, and I will make the land of Egypt vtterly waste and desolate from the towre of Seueneh, euen vnto the borders of the blacke Mores.
11 人的腳、獸的蹄都不經過，四十年之久並無人居住。
No foote of man shall passe by it, nor foote of beast shall passe by it, neither shall it be inhabited fourtie yeeres.
12 我必使埃及地在荒涼的國中成為荒涼，使埃及城在荒廢的城中變為荒廢，共有四十年。我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦。」
And I wil make the land of Egypt desolate in the middes of the countries, that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for fourtie yeeres: and I wil scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and wil disperse them through the countreis.
13 主耶和華如此說：「滿了四十年，我必招聚分散在各國民中的埃及人。
Yet thus saieth the Lord God, At the end of fourtie yeeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered,
14 我必叫埃及被擄的人回來，使他們歸回本地巴忒羅。在那裏必成為低微的國，
And I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathros, into the lande of their habitation, and they shalbe there a small kingdome.
15 必為列國中最低微的，也不再自高於列國之上。我必減少他們，以致不再轄制列國。
It shall be the smallest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more aboue the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule 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時候，便思念罪孽。他們就知道我是主耶和華。」
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their iniquitie to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they knowe, that I am the Lord God.
17 二十七年正月初一日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
In the seuen and twentieth yeere also in the first moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, came the word of the Lord vnto me, saying,
18 「人子啊，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒使他的軍兵大大效勞，攻打泰爾，以致頭都光禿，肩都磨破；然而他和他的軍兵攻打泰爾，並沒有從那裏得甚麼酬勞。
Sonne of man, Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel caused his armie to serue a great seruice against Tyrus: euery head was made balde, and euery shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages, nor his armie for Tyrus, for the seruice that he serued against it.
19 所以主耶和華如此說：我必將埃及地賜給巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒；他必擄掠埃及群眾，搶其中的財為擄物，奪其中的貨為掠物，這就可以作他軍兵的酬勞。
Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Beholde, I will giue the land of Egypt vnto Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoyle her spoyle, and take her pray, and it shall be the wages for his armie.
20 我將埃及地賜給他，酬他所效的勞，因王與軍兵是為我勤勞。這是主耶和華說的。
I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour, that he serued against it, because they wrought for me, sayth the Lord God.
21 「當那日，我必使以色列家的角發生，又必使你－以西結在他們中間得以開口；他們就知道我是耶和華。」
In that day will I cause the horne of the house of Israel to growe, and I will giue thee an open mouth in the middes of them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
