Ezekiel 32
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
十一年十二月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
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 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] 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 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
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 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
我要把你的肉丟在山上，用你的屍首填滿山谷，
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
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 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not 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 will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
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 when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
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 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
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 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
因為吾主上主這樣說：巴比倫王的刀劍必臨於你。
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
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 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in 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 will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
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 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
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 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
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 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
十二年一月十五日，上主的話傳給我說：「
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
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 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
你比誰更華美呢﹖你下去罷! 同未受割損的人臥在一起罷!
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
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 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (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 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
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 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
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 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
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 will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
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 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
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 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (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 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
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 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
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 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
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 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
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 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
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。」
