以西結書 30
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要發預言說，主耶和華如此說： 哀哉這日！你們應當哭號。
“Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Wail, “Woe is the coming day.”
3 因為耶和華的日子臨近， 就是密雲之日， 列國受罰之期。
The day is near. The day is near for Yahweh. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for nations.
4 必有刀劍臨到埃及； 在埃及被殺之人仆倒的時候， 古實人就有痛苦， 人民必被擄掠， 基址必被拆毀。
Then a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the killed people fall in Egypt— when they take her wealth, and when her foundations are ruined.
5 古實人、弗人、路德人、雜族的人民，並古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要與埃及人一同倒在刀下。」
Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, and Libya, together with the people belonging to the covenant—they will all fall by the sword.
6 耶和華如此說： 扶助埃及的也必傾倒。 埃及因勢力而有的驕傲必降低微； 其中的人民，從色弗尼塔起必倒在刀下。 這是主耶和華說的。
Yahweh says this: So the ones who support Egypt will fall, and the pride of her strength will go down. From Migdol to Syene their soldiers will fall by the sword—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
7 埃及地在荒涼的國中必成為荒涼； 埃及城在荒廢的城中也變為荒廢。
They will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands, and their cities will be among all the ruined cities.
8 我在埃及中使火着起； 幫助埃及的，都被滅絕。 那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。
Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I set fire in Egypt, and when all of her helpers are destroyed.
9 「到那日，必有使者坐船，從我面前出去，使安逸無慮的古實人驚懼；必有痛苦臨到他們，好像埃及遭災的日子一樣。看哪，這事臨近了！
In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to terrorize a secure Cush, and there will be anguish among them on the day of Egypt's doom. For behold! It is coming.
10 主耶和華如此說： 我必藉巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手， 除滅埃及眾人。
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will make an end of the multitudes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
11 他和隨從他的人， 就是列國中強暴的， 必進來毀滅這地。 他們必拔刀攻擊埃及， 使遍地有被殺的人。
He and his army with him, the terror of nations, will be brought to destroy the land; they will draw out their swords against Egypt and fill the land with those who have been killed.
12 我必使江河乾涸， 將地賣在惡人的手中； 我必藉外邦人的手， 使這地和其中所有的變為淒涼。 這是我－耶和華說的。
I will make the rivers into dry ground, and I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men. I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers—I, Yahweh, have spoken.
13 主耶和華如此說： 我必毀滅偶像， 從挪弗除滅神像； 必不再有君王出自埃及地。 我要使埃及地的人懼怕。
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will destroy idols, and I will bring an end to the worthless idols of Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt, and I will put terror on the land of Egypt.
14 我必使巴忒羅荒涼， 在瑣安中使火着起， 向挪施行審判。
Then I will make Pathros desolate and set fire in Zoan, and I will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.
15 我必將我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上， 就是訓上， 並要剪除挪的眾人。
For I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
16 我必在埃及中使火着起； 訓必大大痛苦； 挪必被攻破； 挪弗白日見仇敵。
Then I will set fire in Egypt; Pelusium will be in great agony, Thebes will be broken up, and Memphis will face enemies every day.
17 亞文和比伯實的少年人必倒在刀下； 這些城的人必被擄掠。
The young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and their cities will go into captivity.
18 我在答比匿折斷埃及的諸軛， 使她因勢力而有的驕傲在其中止息。 那時，日光必退去； 至於這城，必有密雲遮蔽， 其中的女子必被擄掠。
In Tahpanhes, the day will hold back its light when I break the yoke of Egypt there, and the pride of her strength will be finished. There will be a cloud covering her, and her daughters will walk into captivity.
19 我必這樣向埃及施行審判， 他們就知道我是耶和華。」
I will execute acts of judgment in Egypt, so they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
20 十一年正月初七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
21 「人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；沒有敷藥，也沒有用布纏好，使他有力持刀。
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Behold! It has not been bound up, or set to heal with a bandage, so that it will become strong enough to grasp a sword.
22 所以主耶和華如此說：看哪，我與埃及王法老為敵，必將他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打斷，使刀從他手中墜落。
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. For I will break his arm, both the strong one and the broken one, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
23 我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦。
Then I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
24 我必使巴比倫王的膀臂有力，將我的刀交在他手中；卻要打斷法老的膀臂，他就在巴比倫王面前唉哼，如同受死傷的人一樣。
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and place my sword in his hand so that I might destroy Pharaoh's arms. He will groan before the king of Babylon with the groans of a dying man.
25 我必扶持巴比倫王的膀臂，法老的膀臂卻要下垂；我將我的刀交在巴比倫王手中，他必舉刀攻擊埃及地，他們就知道我是耶和華。
For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while Pharaoh's arms will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon; for he will attack the land of Egypt with it.
26 我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦；他們就知道我是耶和華。」
So I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them through the lands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
