以西結書 30
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 「人子啊，你要發預言說，主耶和華如此說： 哀哉這日！你們應當哭號。
“Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
3 因為耶和華的日子臨近， 就是密雲之日， 列國受罰之期。
For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
4 必有刀劍臨到埃及； 在埃及被殺之人仆倒的時候， 古實人就有痛苦， 人民必被擄掠， 基址必被拆毀。
And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
5 古實人、弗人、路德人、雜族的人民，並古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要與埃及人一同倒在刀下。」
Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
6 耶和華如此說： 扶助埃及的也必傾倒。 埃及因勢力而有的驕傲必降低微； 其中的人民，從色弗尼塔起必倒在刀下。 這是主耶和華說的。
Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
7 埃及地在荒涼的國中必成為荒涼； 埃及城在荒廢的城中也變為荒廢。
And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
8 我在埃及中使火着起； 幫助埃及的，都被滅絕。 那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
9 「到那日，必有使者坐船，從我面前出去，使安逸無慮的古實人驚懼；必有痛苦臨到他們，好像埃及遭災的日子一樣。看哪，這事臨近了！
In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
10 主耶和華如此說： 我必藉巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手， 除滅埃及眾人。
Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
11 他和隨從他的人， 就是列國中強暴的， 必進來毀滅這地。 他們必拔刀攻擊埃及， 使遍地有被殺的人。
He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
12 我必使江河乾涸， 將地賣在惡人的手中； 我必藉外邦人的手， 使這地和其中所有的變為淒涼。 這是我－耶和華說的。
And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
13 主耶和華如此說： 我必毀滅偶像， 從挪弗除滅神像； 必不再有君王出自埃及地。 我要使埃及地的人懼怕。
Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
14 我必使巴忒羅荒涼， 在瑣安中使火着起， 向挪施行審判。
And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
15 我必將我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上， 就是訓上， 並要剪除挪的眾人。
And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
16 我必在埃及中使火着起； 訓必大大痛苦； 挪必被攻破； 挪弗白日見仇敵。
And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
17 亞文和比伯實的少年人必倒在刀下； 這些城的人必被擄掠。
The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
18 我在答比匿折斷埃及的諸軛， 使她因勢力而有的驕傲在其中止息。 那時，日光必退去； 至於這城，必有密雲遮蔽， 其中的女子必被擄掠。
And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
19 我必這樣向埃及施行審判， 他們就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
20 十一年正月初七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 「人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；沒有敷藥，也沒有用布纏好，使他有力持刀。
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
22 所以主耶和華如此說：看哪，我與埃及王法老為敵，必將他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打斷，使刀從他手中墜落。
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
23 我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦。
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
24 我必使巴比倫王的膀臂有力，將我的刀交在他手中；卻要打斷法老的膀臂，他就在巴比倫王面前唉哼，如同受死傷的人一樣。
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
25 我必扶持巴比倫王的膀臂，法老的膀臂卻要下垂；我將我的刀交在巴比倫王手中，他必舉刀攻擊埃及地，他們就知道我是耶和華。
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
26 我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦；他們就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
