Isaiah 19
1 The oracle on Egypt: Lo! Yahweh, riding upon a swift cloud, and he will enter Egypt, And the idols of Egypt shall shake at his presence, And, the heart of Egypt, shall melt within him;
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 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, And they shall fight—Every one against his brother and Every one against his neighbour, —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 And the spirit of Egypt, shall vanish, within them, Yea the sagacity thereof, will I swallow up, —And they will seek Unto the idols and Unto them that mutter, and Unto them that have familiar spirits, and Unto the wizards;
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 And I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord, —And a fierce king shall rule over them, Declareth the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
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 And the waters shall be dried up from the great stream, —And the River, shall waste and be dry;
海中的水必绝尽， 河也消没干涸。
6 And rivers, shall stink, The canals of Egypt be shallow and waste, Reed and rush, be withered;
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 meadows by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile. And all that is sown in the Nile, Shall be dry, driven away, and not be!
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 shall the fishers, lament, And all shall mourn who cast in the Nile a hook, —And they who spread nets on the face of the waters shall languish;
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 Then shall turn pale The workers in combed flax, —and The weavers of white linen;
用梳好的麻造物的 和织白布的都必羞愧；
10 Then shall her pillars be crushed, —All who make wages, be bowed down in soul.
国柱必被打碎， 所有佣工的，心必愁烦。
11 Surely, foolish, are the princes of Zoan, the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh, in counsel are brutish, —How can ye say unto Pharaoh, Son of the wise, am I Son of the kings of olden time?
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 then are thy wise men? Pray let them tell thee! And let them know what Yahweh of hosts hath purposed on 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 Doting are the princes of Zoan, Deceived are the princes of Noph: They who are the corner-stone 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 Yahweh, hath infused in her midst, a spirit of perverseness, —And they have led Egypt astray into all his own doings, As a drunken man staggereth into 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 And Egypt shall have nothing which can be done, Which head or tail, palm-top or rush, can do!
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, shall Egypt be like unto women, —And shall start and tremble because of the brandishing of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which he is about to brandish over it.
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 Then shall the soil of Judah become, to Egypt, a terror; Every one to whom it is mentioned, will tremble, —Because of the purpose of Yahweh of hosts, which he is purposing 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, shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing unto Yahweh of hosts, —The city of destruction, shall be the name of one!
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, shall there be An altar unto Yahweh, in the midst of the land of Egypt, —And a pillar near the boundary thereof unto Yahweh;
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 And it shall become a sign and a witness unto Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt, —For they will make outcry unto Yahweh, because of oppressors, That he would send them a saviour—and a great one Then will he deliver 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 Then will, Yahweh, make himself known, to the Egyptians, So shall the Egyptians know, Yahweh, in that day, —And they will offer a sacrifice and a present And will vow a vow unto Yahweh and will perform.
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 Yahweh, will plague Egypt, plague and heal, —And they will turn unto Yahweh And he will be entreated of them and will 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, shall there be a highway. from Egypt to Assyria, And, the Assyrians, shall come into Egypt, And, the Egyptians, into Assyria; And, the Egyptians shall serve, with the Assyrians.
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, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria, —A blessing in the midst of 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 Whom Yahweh of hosts hath blessed saying, —Blessed, be My people—the Egyptians, And the work of my hands—the Assyrians, And mine own inheritance—Israel.
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！”
