Isaiah 19
1 This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
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。
2 “So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
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。
3 Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
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。
4 I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
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。
5 The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
海中的水必绝尽， 河也消没干涸。
6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
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；
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
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。
8 Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
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。
9 The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
用梳好的麻造物的 和织白布的都必羞愧；
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
国柱必被打碎， 所有佣工的，心必愁烦。
11 The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
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？
12 Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
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！
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
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。
14 The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
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。
15 There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
埃及中，无论是头与尾， 棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
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。
17 The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
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。
18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
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”。
19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
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。
20 It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
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。
21 The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
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。
22 And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
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。
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
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。
24 In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
当那日，以色列必与埃及、亚述三国一律，使地上的人得福；
25 The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
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！”
