< Ezekiel 30 >
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
「人子啊,你要發預言說,主耶和華如此說: 哀哉這日!你們應當哭號。
3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the heathen.
因為耶和華的日子臨近, 就是密雲之日, 列國受罰之期。
4 And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
必有刀劍臨到埃及; 在埃及被殺之人仆倒的時候, 古實人就有痛苦, 人民必被擄掠, 基址必被拆毀。
5 Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
古實人、弗人、路德人、雜族的人民,並古巴人,以及同盟之地的人都要與埃及人一同倒在刀下。」
6 Thus saith the LORD: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
耶和華如此說: 扶助埃及的也必傾倒。 埃及因勢力而有的驕傲必降低微; 其中的人民,從色弗尼塔起必倒在刀下。 這是主耶和華說的。
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
埃及地在荒涼的國中必成為荒涼; 埃及城在荒廢的城中也變為荒廢。
8 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
我在埃及中使火着起; 幫助埃及的,都被滅絕。 那時,他們就知道我是耶和華。
9 In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.
「到那日,必有使者坐船,從我面前出去,使安逸無慮的古實人驚懼;必有痛苦臨到他們,好像埃及遭災的日子一樣。看哪,這事臨近了!
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
主耶和華如此說: 我必藉巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手, 除滅埃及眾人。
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
他和隨從他的人, 就是列國中強暴的, 必進來毀滅這地。 他們必拔刀攻擊埃及, 使遍地有被殺的人。
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
我必使江河乾涸, 將地賣在惡人的手中; 我必藉外邦人的手, 使這地和其中所有的變為淒涼。 這是我-耶和華說的。
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
主耶和華如此說: 我必毀滅偶像, 從挪弗除滅神像; 必不再有君王出自埃及地。 我要使埃及地的人懼怕。
14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
我必使巴忒羅荒涼, 在瑣安中使火着起, 向挪施行審判。
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strong hold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
我必將我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上, 就是訓上, 並要剪除挪的眾人。
16 And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up: and Noph [shall have] adversaries in the day time.
我必在埃及中使火着起; 訓必大大痛苦; 挪必被攻破; 挪弗白日見仇敵。
17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
亞文和比伯實的少年人必倒在刀下; 這些城的人必被擄掠。
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
我在答比匿折斷埃及的諸軛, 使她因勢力而有的驕傲在其中止息。 那時,日光必退去; 至於這城,必有密雲遮蔽, 其中的女子必被擄掠。
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
我必這樣向埃及施行審判, 他們就知道我是耶和華。」
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
十一年正月初七日,耶和華的話臨到我說:
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to apply [healing] medicines, to put a roller to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.
「人子啊,我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂;沒有敷藥,也沒有用布纏好,使他有力持刀。
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
所以主耶和華如此說:看哪,我與埃及王法老為敵,必將他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打斷,使刀從他手中墜落。
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
我必將埃及人分散在列國,四散在列邦。
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
我必使巴比倫王的膀臂有力,將我的刀交在他手中;卻要打斷法老的膀臂,他就在巴比倫王面前唉哼,如同受死傷的人一樣。
25 And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
我必扶持巴比倫王的膀臂,法老的膀臂卻要下垂;我將我的刀交在巴比倫王手中,他必舉刀攻擊埃及地,他們就知道我是耶和華。
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
我必將埃及人分散在列國,四散在列邦;他們就知道我是耶和華。」
