< Ezekiel 32 >

1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
十一年十二月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
2 ‘Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, “You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.”
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 The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up 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 I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
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 lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
我要把你的肉丟在山上,用你的屍首填滿山谷,
6 I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
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 extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
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 make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord GOD.
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 “I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
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 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
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 For the Lord GOD says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on 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 your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty. They are all the ruthless of the nations. They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing, and all its multitude will be destroyed.
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 also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble 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 make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says the Lord GOD.
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 make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell therein, then they will know that I am the LORD.
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 “‘“This is the lamentation with which they will lament. The daughters of the nations will lament with this. They will lament with it over Egypt, and over all her multitude,” says the Lord GOD.’”
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 Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
十二年一月十五日,上主的話傳給我說:「
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
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 Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
你比誰更華美呢﹖你下去罷! 同未受割損的人臥在一起罷!
20 They will fall among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.
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 The strong among the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword. (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 “Asshur is there with all her company. Her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
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 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
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 “There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
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 have made Elam a bed among the slain with all her multitude. Her graves are around her, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put among those who are slain.
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 “There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude. Their graves are around them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
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 not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads. Their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (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 “But you will be broken among the uncircumcised, and will lie with those who are slain by the sword.
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 “There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword. They will lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
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 “There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain. They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might. They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
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 “Pharaoh will see them and will be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,” says the Lord GOD.
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 “For I have put his terror in the land of the living. He will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude,” says the Lord GOD.
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。」
