以西结书 29
1 第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说：
In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊，你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地，
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.
3 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。
Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”
4 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，
For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.
5 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。
I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
6 “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。
Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.
7 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。
When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.
8 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。
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.
9 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’，
So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”
10 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。
Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.
11 人的脚、兽的蹄都不经过，四十年之久并无人居住。
No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.
12 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。”
For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.
13 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。
For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
14 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，
I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.
15 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。
It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.
16 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。”
The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”
17 二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：
Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
18 “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。
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.
19 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。
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.
20 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。
I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
21 “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。”
On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
