< Ezekiel 32 >

1 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
十一年十二月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
2 “Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and you have said to him: You have been like a young lion of nations, And you [are] as a dragon in the seas, And you come forth with your flowings, And trouble the waters with your feet, And you foul their flowings.
人子,你要唱哀歌追悼埃及王法郎,向他說:你曾自比作列國的雄獅,其實你卻似海中的鱷魚,衝入你的河中,用爪攪混了水,弄污了河流。
3 Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have spread out My net for you, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have brought you up in My net.
吾主上主這樣說:我要藉列國的聯軍向你張開我的羅網,用我的往把你拖上來。
4 And I have left you in the land, I cast you out on the face of the field, And I have caused every bird of the heavens to dwell on you, And have satisfied every beast of the earth with you.
我要把你丟在地上,拋在田野間,使天上的各種飛鳥落在你身上,使地上的各種野獸吃你個飽。
5 And I have put your flesh on the mountains, And filled the valleys [with] your heap,
我要把你的肉丟在山上,用你的屍首填滿山谷,
6 And watered the land with your flowing, From your blood—to the mountains, And streams are filled with you.
用你的流汁灌溉大地,以你的血灌溉至山邊,以你的腐屍填滿溝壑。
7 And in quenching you I have covered the heavens, And have made their stars black, I cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon does not cause its light to shine.
當你被消滅時,我要遮蔽天空,使星辰也昏暗;以雲彩遮住太陽,使月亮不放光明。
8 I make all luminaries of light in the heavens black over you, And I have given darkness over your land, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
我要使天上一切照在你身上的光體變為黑暗,使黑暗籠罩你的國土──吾主上主的斷語--
9 And I have distressed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in your destruction among nations, To lands that you have not known.
當我在列國把你滅亡的消息,傳到你不認識的國家時,我要使許多民族心神憂傷。
10 And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid because of you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life—in the day of your fall.
當我在他們面前揮動我的刀劍時,我要使許多民族,為了你而驚駭,使她們的君王驚惶失措;在你傾覆之日,他們每人都為自己的性命而戰慄,
11 For thus said Lord YHWH: A sword of the king of Babylon enters you,
因為吾主上主這樣說:巴比倫王的刀劍必臨於你。
12 I cause your multitude to fall by swords of the mighty, The terrible of nations—all of them, And they have spoiled the excellence of Egypt, And all her multitude has been destroyed.
我必使你的民眾喪身在眾英雄,即列國中最兇殘之人的刀下;他們必要破壞埃及的光華,消滅她的民眾。
13 And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many waters, And a foot of man does not trouble them anymore, Indeed, the hooves of beasts do not trouble them.
我要從大水之旁,把她所有的牲畜滅絕,人腳不再攪混此水,獸蹄也不再使水混濁;
14 Then I cause their waters to sink, And I cause their rivers to go as oil, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
那時,我要澄清他們的水,使他們的河徐徐流下如油一般──吾主上主的斷語──
15 In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And the land has been desolated of its fullness, In My striking all the inhabitants in it, Then they have known that I [am] YHWH.
當我使埃及地荒蕪,使其他所有的一切荒廢,打擊其中所有居民時,他們必要承認我是上主。
16 It [is] a lamentation, and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
這是列國女子所要唱的哀歌,她們詠唱此歌憑弔埃及其人民──吾主上主的斷語。」
17 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
十二年一月十五日,上主的話傳給我說:「
18 “Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It, and the daughters of majestic nations, To the lower parts of the earth, With those going down to the pit.
人子,你要哀悼埃及的民眾,因為我要將她和各強國的女兒推入陰間,同已下到陰府的人在一起。 (questioned)
19 Whom have you surpassed in beauty? Go down, and be laid with [the] uncircumcised.
你比誰更華美呢﹖你下去罷! 同未受割損的人臥在一起罷!
20 They fall in the midst of the pierced of the sword, She has been given [to] the sword, They drew her out, and all her multitude.
他們必倒在喪身刀下的人中,刀已交出,必使她和她的群眾一起喪亡。
21 The gods of the mighty speak to him out of the midst of Sheol, With his helpers—they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. (Sheol h7585)
最英勇的戰士和她的同盟,必從陰府中論及她說:他們也下來了,同未受割損的人,同那些喪身刀下的人,臥在一起。 (Sheol h7585)
22 There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, His graves [are] around him, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by sword,
在那裏有亞述,她的民眾都圍繞著她的墳墓:他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的。
23 Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is around her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living.
他們的墳墓位於極深的坑中,她的民眾圍繞著她的墳墓:他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的,他們曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖。
24 There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Around her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.
在那裏有厄藍,她的民眾都圍繞著她的墳墓:他們都是被殺而喪身刀下的,未受割損而降入陰間的;他們曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖,所以他們與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。 (questioned)
25 They have appointed a bed for her in the midst of the wounded, With all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, He has been set in the midst of the pierced.
在喪亡者中為她安置了床榻,她的民眾圍繞著她的墳墓:他們全是未受割損,喪身刀下的,因為他們曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖,所以被安置在被殺的人中,與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Her graves [are] around them, All of them uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living,
在那裏有默舍客和突巴耳,她們的民眾都圍繞著她們的墳墓:他們全是未受割損,喪身刀下的;他們曾在活人地上散布過恐怖。
27 And they do not lie with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
他們不得與古代已死的英雄臥在一起,這些人帶著武器降入陰府,人們把他們的刀劍放在他們頭下,盾牌放在他們的骨骸上,因為他們曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖。 (Sheol h7585)
28 And you are broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, And lie with the pierced of the sword.
至於你,你要臥在未受割損的人中,同喪身刀下的人在一起。
29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They lie with the uncircumcised, And with those going down to the pit.
在那裏有厄東和她的君王,以及她所有的首長,他們雖然英勇,卻同喪身刀下的人被安置在一起,同未受割損而下到深淵的人臥在一起。
30 There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, They are ashamed of their might, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.
在那裏有北方的一切首領和所有的漆冬人,他們雖然英勇,令人驚駭,也同被殺者一起下去了;他們同未受割損的人和喪身刀下的臥在一起,與已下到深淵的人一同蒙受羞辱。
31 Then Pharaoh sees, And he has been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword—Pharaoh and all his force, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
法郎看見那些人,便為自己所有的人民,感到安慰,因為法郎和他的軍隊也都是喪身刀下的──吾主上主的斷語──
32 For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And he has been laid down in [the] midst of [the] uncircumcised, With [the] pierced of [the] sword—Pharaoh, and all his multitude, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
因為他曾在活人地上,散布過恐怖,所以法郎和他所有的人民,也都要臥在未受割損的人中,與喪身刀下的人在一起──吾主上主的斷語。」
