< Isaiah 19 >

1 [the] oracle of Egypt there! Yahweh [is] riding on a cloud swift and [is] coming Egypt and they will tremble [the] idols of Egypt from before him and [the] heart of Egypt it will melt within it.
論埃及的默示: 看哪,耶和華乘駕快雲, 臨到埃及。 埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢; 埃及人的心在裏面消化。
2 And I will provoke Egypt against Egypt and they will fight each against brother his and each against neighbor his city against city kingdom against kingdom.
我必激動埃及人攻擊埃及人- 弟兄攻擊弟兄, 鄰舍攻擊鄰舍; 這城攻擊那城, 這國攻擊那國。
3 And it will be disturbed [the] spirit of Egypt within it and plan its I will confuse and they will consult the idols and the mutterer and the necromancers and the soothsayers.
埃及人的心神必在裏面耗盡; 我必敗壞他們的謀略。 他們必求問偶像和念咒的、 交鬼的、行巫術的。
4 And I will hand over Egypt in [the] hand of a master cruel and a king strong he will rule over them [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts.
我必將埃及人交在殘忍主的手中; 強暴王必轄制他們。 這是主-萬軍之耶和華說的。
5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.
海中的水必絕盡, 河也消沒乾涸。
6 And they will stink [the] rivers they will be low and they will become dry [the] canals of Egypt reed[s] and rush[es] they will wither.
江河要變臭; 埃及的河水都必減少枯乾。 葦子和蘆荻都必衰殘;
7 Reeds at [the] River at [the] mouth of [the] River and all [the] sown land of [the] River it will be dry it will be driven about and there not [will be] it.
靠尼羅河旁的草田, 並沿尼羅河所種的田,都必枯乾。 莊稼被風吹去,歸於無有。
8 And they will lament the fishermen and they will mourn all [those who] cast in the River a fish hook and [those who] spread out a fishing net on [the] surface of [the] waters they will languish.
打魚的必哀哭。 在尼羅河一切釣魚的必悲傷; 在水上撒網的必都衰弱。
9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.
用梳好的麻造物的 和織白布的都必羞愧;
10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved of soul.
國柱必被打碎, 所有傭工的,心必愁煩。
11 [are] only Fools [the] officials of Zoan [the] wise [people] of [the] counselors of Pharaoh counsel foolish how? will you say to Pharaoh [am] a son of wise [people] I a son of kings of ancient time.
瑣安的首領極其愚昧; 法老大有智慧的謀士, 所籌劃的成為愚謀。 你們怎敢對法老說: 我是智慧人的子孫, 我是古王的後裔?
12 Where [are]? they then wise [people] your so they may tell please to you so they may know what? has he planned Yahweh of hosts on Egypt.
你的智慧人在哪裏呢? 萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意, 他們可以知道,可以告訴你吧!
13 They have become fools [the] officials of Zoan they have been deceived [the] officials of Memphis they have misled Egypt [the] corner of tribes its.
瑣安的首領都變為愚昧; 挪弗的首領都受了迷惑。 當埃及支派房角石的, 使埃及人走錯了路。
14 Yahweh he has mixed in midst its a spirit of confusion and they have misled Egypt in every deed its as is made to stagger a drunkard in vomit his.
耶和華使乖謬的靈攙入埃及中間; 首領使埃及一切所做的都有差錯, 好像醉酒之人嘔吐的時候東倒西歪一樣。
15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.
埃及中,無論是頭與尾, 棕枝與蘆葦,所做之工都不成就。
16 In the day that it will be Egypt like women and it will tremble - and it will be in dread of [the] brandishing of [the] hand of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] brandishing on it.
到那日,埃及人必像婦人一樣,他們必因萬軍之耶和華在埃及以上所掄的手,戰兢懼怕。
17 And it will become [the] land of Judah to Egypt an object of terror every [one] whom someone will bring to remembrance it to him he will be in dread because of [the] plan of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] planning on it.
猶大地必使埃及驚恐,向誰提起猶大地,誰就懼怕。這是因萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意。
18 In the day that they will be five cities in [the] land of Egypt speaking [the] language of Canaan and swearing an oath to Yahweh of hosts [the] city of Destruction it will be called of one.
當那日,埃及地必有五城的人說迦南的方言,又指着萬軍之耶和華起誓。有一城必稱為「滅亡城」。
19 In the day that it will be an altar to Yahweh in [the] middle of [the] land of Egypt and a pillar [will be] beside border its to Yahweh.
當那日,在埃及地中必有為耶和華築的一座壇;在埃及的邊界上必有為耶和華立的一根柱。
20 And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of Egypt that they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors and he may send to them a deliverer and [one who] contends and he will rescue them.
這都要在埃及地為萬軍之耶和華作記號和證據。埃及人因為受人的欺壓哀求耶和華,他就差遣一位救主作護衛者,拯救他們。
21 And he will make himself known Yahweh to Egypt and they will know Egypt Yahweh in the day that and they will serve sacrifice and offering and they will vow a vow to Yahweh and they will pay [it].
耶和華必被埃及人所認識。在那日,埃及人必認識耶和華,也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他,並向耶和華許願還願。
22 And he will strike Yahweh Egypt striking and healing and they will turn to Yahweh and he will be entreated by them and he will heal them.
耶和華必擊打埃及,又擊打又醫治,埃及人就歸向耶和華。他必應允他們的禱告,醫治他們。
23 In the day that it will be a highway from Egypt Assyria towards and it will go Assyria in Egypt and Egypt in Assyria and they will serve Egypt Assyria.
當那日,必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及,埃及人也進入亞述;埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。
24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to Assyria a blessing in [the] midst of the earth.
當那日,以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律,使地上的人得福;
25 Which he will bless it Yahweh of hosts saying [be] blessed people my Egypt and [the] work of hands my Assyria and inheritance my Israel.
因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們,說:「埃及-我的百姓,亞述-我手的工作,以色列-我的產業,都有福了!」
