< Ezekiel 30 >
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 and he seide, Sone of man, profesie thou, and seie, The Lord God seith these thingis, Yelle ye, Wo!
人子,你要講預言說:吾主上主這樣說:你們應悲哀;禍哉,那一日!
3 wo! to the dai, for the dai is niy; and the dai of the Lord neiyith, the dai of a cloude. The tyme of hethene men schal be;
因為那一日近了,上主的日子近了,那是密雲的日子,是異民的終期。
4 and a swerd schal come in to Egipt, and drede schal be in Ethiopie, whanne woundid men schulen falle doun in Egipt, and the multitude therof schal be takun awei, and the foundementis therof schulen be distried.
刀劍必臨於埃及;傷亡者橫臥在埃及時,恐怖必籠罩著雇士。她的財富必被搶去,她的基礎必被拆毀。
5 Ethiopie, and Libie, and Lidiens, and al the residue comyn puple, and Chub, and the sones of the lond of boond of pees schulen falle doun bi swerd with hem.
雇士、普特、路得和一切雜族,利比亞和同他們結盟的本地人,都要喪身刀下。
6 The Lord God seith these thingis, And thei that vndursetten Egipt schulen falle doun, and the pride of the lordschipe therof schal be destried; fro the tour of Sienes thei schulen falle bi swerd ther ynne, seith the Lord of oostis.
上主這樣說:凡支持埃及的人都要喪亡,她驕傲的勢力必要衰落,由米革多耳到色威乃的人,必喪身刀下──吾主上主的斷語──
7 And thei schulen be distried in the myddis of londis maad desolat, and the citees therof schulen be in the myddis of citees forsakun.
她要在荒蕪地帶中,成為最荒蕪的;她的城在荒廢的城中,將成為最荒廢的。
8 And thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God, whanne Y schal yyue fier in Egipt, and alle the helperis therof schulen be al to-brokun.
當我在埃及點火時,凡輔佐她的都要毀滅,那時他們便承認我是上主。
9 In that dai messangeris schulen go out fro my face in schippis with thre ordris of ooris, to al to-breke the trist of Ethiopie; and drede schal be in hem in the dai of Egipt, for with out doute it schal come.
在那一日,我必派遣使主,乘著船,恐嚇安居的雇士;恐怖必要籠罩他們,如埃及的日子。看,已來到了。
10 The Lord God seith these thingis, And I schal make to ceesse the multitude of Egipt in the hond of Nabugodonosor, king of Babiloyne.
吾主上主這樣說:我要藉巴比倫王拿步高的手,消滅埃及的民眾。
11 He and his puple with hym, the strongeste men of hethene men, schulen be brouyt, to leese the lond; and thei schulen drawe out her swerdis on Egipt, and thei schulen fille the lond with slayn men.
他和跟他來的人民,是萬民中最兇殘的;他們被派來,是為破壞此地;他們將拔刀攻打埃及,使此地充滿傷亡的人。
12 And Y schal make drie the botmes of floodis, and Y schal yyue the lond in the hond of the worste men; and I schal distrie the lond, and the fulnesse therof in the hond of aliens; Y the Lord spak.
我要使河流成為乾地,把此地賣給惡人,藉外人的手破壞此地和此地的一切:這是我,上主說的。
13 The Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal leese simylacris, and Y schal make idols to ceesse fro Memphis, and a duyk of the lond of Egipt schal no more be. And Y schal yyue drede in the lond of Egipt,
吾主上主這樣說:我必要消滅偶像,使邪神由諾夫絕跡,由埃及再不出現王侯;使恐怖降在埃及地,
14 and Y schal leese the lond of Phatures. And Y schal yyue fier in Tafnys, and Y schal make my domes in Alisaundre.
使帕特洛斯變為曠野,在左罕點火,對諾施行懲罰。
15 And Y schal schede out myn indignacioun on Pelusyum, the strengthe of Egipt; and Y schal sle the multitude of Alisaundre,
我要向新──埃及的要塞,發洩我的怒氣,剷除諾的民眾。
16 and Y schal yyue fier in Egipt. Pelusyum, as a womman trauelynge of child, schal haue sorewe, and Alisaundre schal be destried, and in Memphis schulen be ech daies angwischis.
我要在埃及點火,新必因恐怖而戰慄,諾必被破壞,諾夫白日遭受敵人攻擊。
17 The yonge men of Heliopoleos and of Bubasti schulen falle doun bi swerd, and tho citees schulen be led caitifs.
翁及丕貝色特的壯丁必喪身刀下,二城的人都要被擄去。
18 And in Thafnys the dai schal wexe blak, whanne Y schal al to-breke there the ceptris of Egipt, and the pride of the power therof schal faile there ynne. A cloude schal hile it; forsothe the douytris therof schulen be led in to caitifte, and Y schal make domes in Egipt;
當我在塔黑培乃斯打斷埃及的權杖,消滅她驕傲的勢力時,白日將變為黑暗,烏雲籠罩著她,她的女兒也要被擄去。
19 and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
當我對埃及施行懲罰時,他們必承認我是上主。」
20 And it was doon in the enleuenthe yeer, in the firste monethe, in the seuenthe dai of the moneth, the word of the Lord was maad to me,
十一年一月初七日,上主的話傳給我說:「
21 and he seide, Thou sone of man, Y haue broke the arm of Farao, kyng of Egipt; and lo! it is not wlappid, that helthe schulde be restorid therto, that it schulde be boundun with clothis, and woundun with lynnun clothis, and that he myyte holde swerd, whanne he hadde resseyued strengthe.
人子,我打斷了埃及王法郎的臂膊,看,沒有人包紮,沒有人敷藥,或用繃帶裹起,使臂膊有力拿劍。
22 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y to Farao, king of Egipt; and Y schal make lesse his strong arm but brokun, and Y schal caste doun the swerd fro his hond.
為此,吾主上主這樣說:看,我要打擊埃及王法郎,打斷他那還有力量的臂膊,使刀由他手中跌落。
23 And Y schal scatere Egipt among hethene men, and Y schal wyndewe hem in londis.
我要將埃及人分散到外邦,把他們散布在各地。
24 And Y schal coumforte the armes of the kyng of Babiloyne, and Y schal yyue my swerd in the hond of hym; and Y schal breke the armes of Farao, and men slayn bifore his face schulen weile bi weilyngis.
我必要加強巴比倫王的臂膊,把我的刀放在他手中;我要打斷法郎的臂膊,使他在那人面前呻吟,像受傷的人呻吟一樣。
25 And Y schal coumforte the armes of the kyng of Babiloyne, and the armes of Farao schulen falle doun. And thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal yyue my swerd in the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne; and he schal stretche forth it on the lond of Egipt.
我要加強巴比倫王的臂膊,而法郎的臂膊反要衰弱;當我把我的刀交在巴比倫王手中,使他伸向埃及地時,他們便要承認我是上主。
26 And Y schal scatere Egipt in to naciouns, and Y schal wyndewe hem in to londis; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
我要將埃及人分散到外邦,把他們散佈在各地:如此,他們便要承認我是上主。」
