以賽亞書 19
1 論埃及的默示： 看哪，耶和華乘駕快雲， 臨到埃及。 埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢； 埃及人的心在裏面消化。
The burden of Egypt. Beholde, the Lord rideth vpon a swift cloude, and shall come into Egypt, and the idoles of Egypt shall be moued at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the middes of her.
2 我必激動埃及人攻擊埃及人－ 弟兄攻擊弟兄， 鄰舍攻擊鄰舍； 這城攻擊那城， 這國攻擊那國。
And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: so euery one shall fight against his brother, and euery one against his neighbour, citie against citie, and kingdome against kingdome.
3 埃及人的心神必在裏面耗盡； 我必敗壞他們的謀略。 他們必求問偶像和念咒的、 交鬼的、行巫術的。
And the spirite of Egypt shall faile in the middes of her, and I will destroy their counsell, and they shall seeke at the idoles, and at the sorcerers, and at them that haue spirits of diuination, and at the southsayers.
4 我必將埃及人交在殘忍主的手中； 強暴王必轄制他們。 這是主－萬軍之耶和華說的。
And I will deliuer the Egyptians into the hand of the cruell Lordes, and a mightie King shall rule ouer them, sayth the Lord God of hostes.
5 海中的水必絕盡， 河也消沒乾涸。
Then the waters of the sea shall faile, and the riuers shall be dryed vp, and wasted.
6 江河要變臭； 埃及的河水都必減少枯乾。 葦子和蘆荻都必衰殘；
And the riuers shall goe farre away: the riuers of defence shalbe emptied and dryed vp: the reedes and flagges shall be cut downe.
7 靠尼羅河旁的草田， 並沿尼羅河所種的田，都必枯乾。 莊稼被風吹去，歸於無有。
The grasse in the riuer, and at the head of the riuers, and all that groweth by the riuer, shall wither, and be driuen away, and be no more.
8 打魚的必哀哭。 在尼羅河一切釣魚的必悲傷； 在水上撒網的必都衰弱。
The fishers also shall mourne, and all they that cast angle into the riuer, shall lament, and they that spread their nette vpon the waters, shall be weakened.
9 用梳好的麻造物的 和織白布的都必羞愧；
Moreouer, they that worke in flaxe of diuers sortes, shall be confounded, and they that weaue nettes.
10 國柱必被打碎， 所有傭工的，心必愁煩。
For their nettes shalbe broken, and all they, that make pondes, shalbe heauie in heart.
11 瑣安的首領極其愚昧； 法老大有智慧的謀士， 所籌劃的成為愚謀。 你們怎敢對法老說： 我是智慧人的子孫， 我是古王的後裔？
Surely the princes of Zoan are fooles: the counsell of the wise counselers of Pharaoh is become foolish: how say ye vnto Pharaoh, I am the sonne of the wise? I am the sonne of the ancient Kings?
12 你的智慧人在哪裏呢？ 萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意， 他們可以知道，可以告訴你吧！
Where are nowe thy wise men, that they may tell thee, or may knowe what the Lord of hostes hath determined against Egypt?
13 瑣安的首領都變為愚昧； 挪弗的首領都受了迷惑。 當埃及支派房角石的， 使埃及人走錯了路。
The princes of Zoan are become fooles: the princes of Noph are deceiued, they haue deceiued Egypt, euen the corners of the tribes thereof.
14 耶和華使乖謬的靈攙入埃及中間； 首領使埃及一切所做的都有差錯， 好像醉酒之人嘔吐的時候東倒西歪一樣。
The Lord hath mingled among them the spirite of errours: and they haue caused Egypt to erre in euery worke thereof, as a drunken man erreth in his vomite.
15 埃及中，無論是頭與尾， 棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。
Neither shall there be any worke in Egypt, which the head may doe, nor the tayle, ye branch nor the rush.
16 到那日，埃及人必像婦人一樣，他們必因萬軍之耶和華在埃及以上所掄的手，戰兢懼怕。
In that day shall Egypt be like vnto women: for it shall be afraide and feare because of the moouing of the hand of the Lord of hostes, which he shaketh ouer it.
17 猶大地必使埃及驚恐，向誰提起猶大地，誰就懼怕。這是因萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意。
And the land of Iudah shall be a feare vnto Egypt: euery one that maketh mention of it, shalbe afraid thereat, because of ye counsell of the Lord of hostes, which he hath determined vpon it.
18 當那日，埃及地必有五城的人說迦南的方言，又指着萬軍之耶和華起誓。有一城必稱為「滅亡城」。
In that day shall fiue cities in the lande of Egypt speake the language of Canaan, and shall sweare by the Lord of hostes. one shall be called the citie of destruction.
19 當那日，在埃及地中必有為耶和華築的一座壇；在埃及的邊界上必有為耶和華立的一根柱。
In that day shall the altar of the Lord be in the middes of the land of Egypt, and a pillar by the border thereof vnto the Lord.
20 這都要在埃及地為萬軍之耶和華作記號和證據。埃及人因為受人的欺壓哀求耶和華，他就差遣一位救主作護衛者，拯救他們。
And it shall be for a signe and for a witnes vnto the Lord of hostes in the land of Egypt: for they shall crie vnto the Lord, because of the oppressers, and he shall send them a Sauiour and a great man, and shall deliuer them.
21 耶和華必被埃及人所認識。在那日，埃及人必認識耶和華，也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他，並向耶和華許願還願。
And the Lord shall be knowen of the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall knowe the Lord in that day, and doe sacrifice and oblation, and shall vowe vowes vnto the Lord, and performe them.
22 耶和華必擊打埃及，又擊打又醫治，埃及人就歸向耶和華。他必應允他們的禱告，醫治他們。
So ye Lord shall smite Egypt, he shall smite and heale it: for he shall returne vnto ye Lord, and he shall be intreated of them and shall heale them.
23 當那日，必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及，埃及人也進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。
In that day shall there be a path from Egypt to Asshur, and Asshur shall come into Egypt, and Egypt into Asshur: so the Egyptians shall worship with Asshur.
24 當那日，以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律，使地上的人得福；
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and Asshur, euen a blessing in the middes of the land.
25 因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：「埃及－我的百姓，亞述－我手的工作，以色列－我的產業，都有福了！」
For the Lord of hostes shall blesse it, saying, Blessed be my people Egypt and Asshur, the worke of mine hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
