以賽亞書 19
1 論埃及的默示： 看哪，耶和華乘駕快雲， 臨到埃及。 埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢； 埃及人的心在裏面消化。
THE VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.
2 我必激動埃及人攻擊埃及人－ 弟兄攻擊弟兄， 鄰舍攻擊鄰舍； 這城攻擊那城， 這國攻擊那國。
And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbour, city against city, and law against law.
3 埃及人的心神必在裏面耗盡； 我必敗壞他們的謀略。 他們必求問偶像和念咒的、 交鬼的、行巫術的。
And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.
4 我必將埃及人交在殘忍主的手中； 強暴王必轄制他們。 這是主－萬軍之耶和華說的。
And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus says the Lord of hosts.
5 海中的水必絕盡， 河也消沒乾涸。
And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.
6 江河要變臭； 埃及的河水都必減少枯乾。 葦子和蘆荻都必衰殘；
And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.
7 靠尼羅河旁的草田， 並沿尼羅河所種的田，都必枯乾。 莊稼被風吹去，歸於無有。
And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.
8 打魚的必哀哭。 在尼羅河一切釣魚的必悲傷； 在水上撒網的必都衰弱。
And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.
9 用梳好的麻造物的 和織白布的都必羞愧；
And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.
10 國柱必被打碎， 所有傭工的，心必愁煩。
And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.
11 瑣安的首領極其愚昧； 法老大有智慧的謀士， 所籌劃的成為愚謀。 你們怎敢對法老說： 我是智慧人的子孫， 我是古王的後裔？
And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counsellors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings?
12 你的智慧人在哪裏呢？ 萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意， 他們可以知道，可以告訴你吧！
Where are now your wise men? and let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon Egypt?
13 瑣安的首領都變為愚昧； 挪弗的首領都受了迷惑。 當埃及支派房角石的， 使埃及人走錯了路。
The princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.
14 耶和華使乖謬的靈攙入埃及中間； 首領使埃及一切所做的都有差錯， 好像醉酒之人嘔吐的時候東倒西歪一樣。
For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.
15 埃及中，無論是頭與尾， 棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。
And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.
16 到那日，埃及人必像婦人一樣，他們必因萬軍之耶和華在埃及以上所掄的手，戰兢懼怕。
But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.
17 猶大地必使埃及驚恐，向誰提起猶大地，誰就懼怕。這是因萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意。
And the land of the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning it.
18 當那日，埃及地必有五城的人說迦南的方言，又指着萬軍之耶和華起誓。有一城必稱為「滅亡城」。
In that day there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.
19 當那日，在埃及地中必有為耶和華築的一座壇；在埃及的邊界上必有為耶和華立的一根柱。
In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.
20 這都要在埃及地為萬軍之耶和華作記號和證據。埃及人因為受人的欺壓哀求耶和華，他就差遣一位救主作護衛者，拯救他們。
And it shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.
21 耶和華必被埃及人所認識。在那日，埃及人必認識耶和華，也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他，並向耶和華許願還願。
And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].
22 耶和華必擊打埃及，又擊打又醫治，埃及人就歸向耶和華。他必應允他們的禱告，醫治他們。
And the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly heal them.
23 當那日，必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及，埃及人也進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。
In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.
24 當那日，以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律，使地上的人得福；
In that day shall Israel be third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,
25 因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：「埃及－我的百姓，亞述－我手的工作，以色列－我的產業，都有福了！」
saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is amongst the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
