Ezekiel 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 “You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
“人子啊，你要发预言说，主耶和华如此说： 哀哉这日！你们应当哭号。
3 That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
因为耶和华的日子临近， 就是密云之日， 列国受罚之期。
4 [An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
必有刀剑临到埃及； 在埃及被杀之人仆倒的时候， 古实人就有痛苦， 人民必被掳掠， 基址必被拆毁。
5 [Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
古实人、弗人、路德人、杂族的人民，并古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要与埃及人一同倒在刀下。”
6 This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
耶和华如此说： 扶助埃及的也必倾倒。 埃及因势力而有的骄傲必降低微； 其中的人民，从色弗尼塔起必倒在刀下。 这是主耶和华说的。
7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
埃及地在荒凉的国中必成为荒凉； 埃及城在荒废的城中也变为荒废。
8 Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我在埃及中使火着起； 帮助埃及的，都被灭绝。 那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。
9 At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
“到那日，必有使者坐船，从我面前出去，使安逸无虑的古实人惊惧；必有痛苦临到他们，好像埃及遭灾的日子一样。看哪，这事临近了！
10 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
主耶和华如此说： 我必借巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手， 除灭埃及众人。
11 Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
他和随从他的人， 就是列国中强暴的， 必进来毁灭这地。 他们必拔刀攻击埃及， 使遍地有被杀的人。
12 I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
我必使江河干涸， 将地卖在恶人的手中； 我必借外邦人的手， 使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉。 这是我—耶和华说的。
13 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
主耶和华如此说： 我必毁灭偶像， 从挪弗除灭神像； 必不再有君王出自埃及地。 我要使埃及地的人惧怕。
14 I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
我必使巴忒罗荒凉， 在琐安中使火着起， 向挪施行审判。
15 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
我必将我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上， 就是训上， 并要剪除挪的众人。
16 I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
我必在埃及中使火着起； 训必大大痛苦； 挪必被攻破； 挪弗白日见仇敌。
17 [Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
亚文和比伯实的少年人必倒在刀下； 这些城的人必被掳掠。
18 It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
我在答比匿折断埃及的诸轭， 使她因势力而有的骄傲在其中止息。 那时，日光必退去； 至于这城，必有密云遮蔽， 其中的女子必被掳掠。
19 That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
我必这样向埃及施行审判， 他们就知道我是耶和华。”
20 Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
十一年正月初七日，耶和华的话临到我说：
21 “You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
“人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；没有敷药，也没有用布缠好，使他有力持刀。
22 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
所以主耶和华如此说：看哪，我与埃及王法老为敌，必将他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打断，使刀从他手中坠落。
23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。
24 [It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力，将我的刀交在他手中；却要打断法老的膀臂，他就在巴比伦王面前唉哼，如同受死伤的人一样。
25 I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
我必扶持巴比伦王的膀臂，法老的膀臂却要下垂；我将我的刀交在巴比伦王手中，他必举刀攻击埃及地，他们就知道我是耶和华。
26 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦；他们就知道我是耶和华。”
