Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说：
2 Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:
“人子啊，你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地，
3 Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself.
说主耶和华如此说： 埃及王法老啊， 我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌。 你曾说：这河是我的， 是我为自己造的。
4 And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.
我—耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊， 又使江河中的鱼贴住你的鳞甲； 我必将你和所有贴住你鳞甲的鱼， 从江河中拉上来，
5 And I will let you be in the waste land, you and all the fish of your streams: you will go down on the face of the land; you will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.
把你并江河中的鱼都抛在旷野； 你必倒在田间， 不被收殓，不被掩埋。 我已将你给地上野兽、空中飞鸟作食物。
6 And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.
“埃及一切的居民，因向以色列家成了芦苇的杖，就知道我是耶和华。
7 When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.
他们用手持住你，你就断折，伤了他们的肩；他们倚靠你，你就断折，闪了他们的腰。
8 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.
所以主耶和华如此说：我必使刀剑临到你，从你中间将人与牲畜剪除。
9 And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.
埃及地必荒废凄凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。 “因为法老说：‘这河是我的，是我所造的’，
10 See, then, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an unpeopled waste, from Migdol to Syene, even as far as the edge of Ethiopia.
所以我必与你并你的江河为敌，使埃及地，从色弗尼塔直到古实境界，全然荒废凄凉。
11 No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.
人的脚、兽的蹄都不经过，四十年之久并无人居住。
12 I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.
我必使埃及地在荒凉的国中成为荒凉，使埃及城在荒废的城中变为荒废，共有四十年。我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。”
13 For this is what the Lord has said: At the end of forty years I will get the Egyptians together from the peoples where they have gone in flight:
主耶和华如此说：“满了四十年，我必招聚分散在各国民中的埃及人。
14 I will let the fate of Egypt be changed, and will make them come back into the land of Pathros, into the land from which they came; and there they will be an unimportant kingdom.
我必叫埃及被掳的人回来，使他们归回本地巴忒罗。在那里必成为低微的国，
15 It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.
必为列国中最低微的，也不再自高于列国之上。我必减少他们，以致不再辖制列国。
16 And Egypt will no longer be the hope of the children of Israel, causing sin to come to mind when their eyes are turned to them: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
埃及必不再作以色列家所倚靠的；以色列家仰望埃及人的时候，便思念罪孽。他们就知道我是主耶和华。”
17 Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.
“人子啊，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵大大效劳，攻打泰尔，以致头都光秃，肩都磨破；然而他和他的军兵攻打泰尔，并没有从那里得什么酬劳。
19 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.
所以主耶和华如此说：我必将埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒；他必掳掠埃及群众，抢其中的财为掳物，夺其中的货为掠物，这就可以作他军兵的酬劳。
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, says the Lord.
我将埃及地赐给他，酬他所效的劳，因王与军兵是为我勤劳。这是主耶和华说的。
21 In that day I will make a horn put out buds for the children of Israel, and I will let your words come freely among them, and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
“当那日，我必使以色列家的角发生，又必使你—以西结在他们中间得以开口；他们就知道我是耶和华。”
