以西结书 30
1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊，你要发预言说，主耶和华如此说： 哀哉这日！你们应当哭号。
“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!
3 因为耶和华的日子临近， 就是密云之日， 列国受罚之期。
The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.
4 必有刀剑临到埃及； 在埃及被杀之人仆倒的时候， 古实人就有痛苦， 人民必被掳掠， 基址必被拆毁。
A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.
5 古实人、弗人、路德人、杂族的人民，并古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要与埃及人一同倒在刀下。”
Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.
6 耶和华如此说： 扶助埃及的也必倾倒。 埃及因势力而有的骄傲必降低微； 其中的人民，从色弗尼塔起必倒在刀下。 这是主耶和华说的。
This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.
7 埃及地在荒凉的国中必成为荒凉； 埃及城在荒废的城中也变为荒废。
Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.
8 我在埃及中使火着起； 帮助埃及的，都被灭绝。 那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。
Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.
9 “到那日，必有使者坐船，从我面前出去，使安逸无虑的古实人惊惧；必有痛苦临到他们，好像埃及遭灾的日子一样。看哪，这事临近了！
At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!
10 主耶和华如此说： 我必借巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手， 除灭埃及众人。
This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.
11 他和随从他的人， 就是列国中强暴的， 必进来毁灭这地。 他们必拔刀攻击埃及， 使遍地有被杀的人。
He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.
12 我必使江河干涸， 将地卖在恶人的手中； 我必借外邦人的手， 使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉。 这是我—耶和华说的。
I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.
13 主耶和华如此说： 我必毁灭偶像， 从挪弗除灭神像； 必不再有君王出自埃及地。 我要使埃及地的人惧怕。
This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.
14 我必使巴忒罗荒凉， 在琐安中使火着起， 向挪施行审判。
I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.
15 我必将我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上， 就是训上， 并要剪除挪的众人。
I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.
16 我必在埃及中使火着起； 训必大大痛苦； 挪必被攻破； 挪弗白日见仇敌。
I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.
17 亚文和比伯实的少年人必倒在刀下； 这些城的人必被掳掠。
The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.
18 我在答比匿折断埃及的诸轭， 使她因势力而有的骄傲在其中止息。 那时，日光必退去； 至于这城，必有密云遮蔽， 其中的女子必被掳掠。
It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.
19 我必这样向埃及施行审判， 他们就知道我是耶和华。”
This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
20 十一年正月初七日，耶和华的话临到我说：
On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；没有敷药，也没有用布缠好，使他有力持刀。
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.
22 所以主耶和华如此说：看哪，我与埃及王法老为敌，必将他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打断，使刀从他手中坠落。
So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.
23 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。
I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
24 我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力，将我的刀交在他手中；却要打断法老的膀臂，他就在巴比伦王面前唉哼，如同受死伤的人一样。
I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.
25 我必扶持巴比伦王的膀臂，法老的膀臂却要下垂；我将我的刀交在巴比伦王手中，他必举刀攻击埃及地，他们就知道我是耶和华。
I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.
26 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦；他们就知道我是耶和华。”
When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
