Ezekiel 30
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Howl, Aah! For the 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 a day [is] near, a day [is] near to YHWH! It is a time of cloud [over] 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 And a sword has come into Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And its foundations have been broken 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, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant fall by sword with them,
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 Thus said YHWH: And those supporting Egypt have fallen, And the arrogance of her strength has come down, From Migdol to Syene, they fall by sword in her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste.
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 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving fire against Egypt, And all her helpers have been broken.
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 In that day messengers go forth from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there has been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for behold, it has come.
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 Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, 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 terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
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 And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evildoers, And I have made the land desolate, And its fullness, by the hand of strangers, I, YHWH, have spoken.
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 Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And there is no longer a prince of the land of Egypt, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.
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 And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
使帕特洛斯變為曠野，在左罕點火，對諾施行懲罰。
15 And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
我要向新──埃及的要塞，發洩我的怒氣，剷除諾的民眾。
16 And I have given fire against Egypt, Sin is greatly pained, and No is to be broken, And Noph has daily distresses.
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 youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth fall by sword, And these 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 And the day has been dark in Tehaphnehes, In My breaking the yokes of Egypt there, And the excellence of her strength has ceased in her, Her! A cloud covers her, And her daughters 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 And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
當我對埃及施行懲罰時，他們必承認我是上主。」
20 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying, “Son of man,
十一年一月初七日，上主的話傳給我說：「
21 I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on 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, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of 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 And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And have spread them through lands,
我要將埃及人分散到外邦，把他們散布在各地。
24 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one—before him.
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 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh fall down, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward 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 And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
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。」
