Jezekiel 29
1 In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
第十年十月十二日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
2 Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
「人子啊，你要向埃及王法老預言攻擊他和埃及全地，
3 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
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。
4 And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
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，
5 and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
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。
6 And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
「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。
7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
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。
8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
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。
9 and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
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』，
10 Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
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。
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
人的腳、獸的蹄都不經過，四十年之久並無人居住。
12 And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
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。」
13 Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations amongst whom they have been scattered;
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。
14 and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
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，
15 and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] amongst the nations.
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。
16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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。」
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
二十七年正月初一日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
「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。
19 Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
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。
20 In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:
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。
21 In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
「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。」
