Ezekiel 30
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’
人子，你要講預言說：吾主上主這樣說：你們應悲哀；禍哉，那一日!
3 For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
因為那一日近了，上主的日子近了，那是密雲的日子，是異民的終期。
4 A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.
刀劍必臨於埃及；傷亡者橫臥在埃及時，恐怖必籠罩著雇士。她的財富必被搶去，她的基礎必被拆毀。
5 Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various peoples, as well as Libya and the men of the covenant land, will fall with Egypt by the sword.
雇士、普特、路得和一切雜族，利比亞和同他們結盟的本地人，都要喪身刀下。
6 For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her,
上主這樣說：凡支持埃及的人都要喪亡，她驕傲的勢力必要衰落，由米革多耳到色威乃的人，必喪身刀下──吾主上主的斷語──
7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
她要在荒蕪地帶中，成為最荒蕪的；她的城在荒廢的城中，將成為最荒廢的。
8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.
當我在埃及點火時，凡輔佐她的都要毀滅，那時他們便承認我是上主。
9 On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.
在那一日，我必派遣使主，乘著船，恐嚇安居的雇士；恐怖必要籠罩他們，如埃及的日子。看，已來到了。
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
吾主上主這樣說：我要藉巴比倫王拿步高的手，消滅埃及的民眾。
11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
他和跟他來的人民，是萬民中最兇殘的；他們被派來，是為破壞此地；他們將拔刀攻打埃及，使此地充滿傷亡的人。
12 I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it.
我要使河流成為乾地，把此地賣給惡人，藉外人的手破壞此地和此地的一切：這是我，上主說的。
13 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.
吾主上主這樣說：我必要消滅偶像，使邪神由諾夫絕跡，由埃及再不出現王侯；使恐怖降在埃及地，
14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
使帕特洛斯變為曠野，在左罕點火，對諾施行懲罰。
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
我要向新──埃及的要塞，發洩我的怒氣，剷除諾的民眾。
16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.
我要在埃及點火，新必因恐怖而戰慄，諾必被破壞，諾夫白日遭受敵人攻擊。
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
翁及丕貝色特的壯丁必喪身刀下，二城的人都要被擄去。
18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
當我在塔黑培乃斯打斷埃及的權杖，消滅她驕傲的勢力時，白日將變為黑暗，烏雲籠罩著她，她的女兒也要被擄去。
19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
當我對埃及施行懲罰時，他們必承認我是上主。」
20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
十一年一月初七日，上主的話傳給我說：「
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.
人子，我打斷了埃及王法郎的臂膊，看，沒有人包紮，沒有人敷藥，或用繃帶裹起，使臂膊有力拿劍。
22 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
為此，吾主上主這樣說：看，我要打擊埃及王法郎，打斷他那還有力量的臂膊，使刀由他手中跌落。
23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
我要將埃及人分散到外邦，把他們散布在各地。
24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.
我必要加強巴比倫王的臂膊，把我的刀放在他手中；我要打斷法郎的臂膊，使他在那人面前呻吟，像受傷的人呻吟一樣。
25 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.
我要加強巴比倫王的臂膊，而法郎的臂膊反要衰弱；當我把我的刀交在巴比倫王手中，使他伸向埃及地時，他們便要承認我是上主。
26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
我要將埃及人分散到外邦，把他們散佈在各地：如此，他們便要承認我是上主。」
