< 以西結書 32 >

1 十二年十二月初一日,耶和華的話臨到我說:
In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊,你要為埃及王法老作哀歌,說: 從前你在列國中,如同少壯獅子; 現在你卻像海中的大魚。 你衝出江河, 用爪攪動諸水, 使江河渾濁。
‘Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, “You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.”
3 主耶和華如此說: 我必用多國的人民, 將我的網撒在你身上, 把你拉上來。
The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net.
4 我必將你丟在地上, 拋在田野, 使空中的飛鳥都落在你身上, 使遍地的野獸吃你得飽。
I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5 我必將你的肉丟在山間, 用你高大的屍首填滿山谷。
I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 我又必用你的血澆灌你所游泳之地, 漫過山頂; 河道都必充滿。
I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
7 我將你撲滅的時候, 要把天遮蔽, 使眾星昏暗, 以密雲遮掩太陽, 月亮也不放光。
When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
8 我必使天上的亮光都在你以上變為昏暗, 使你的地上黑暗。 這是主耶和華說的。
I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord GOD.
9 「我使你敗亡的風聲傳到你所不認識的各國。那時,我必使多民的心因你愁煩。
“I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10 我在許多國民和君王面前向你掄我的刀,國民就必因你驚奇,君王也必因你極其恐慌。在你仆倒的日子,他們各人為自己的性命時刻戰兢。」
Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
11 主耶和華如此說:「巴比倫王的刀必臨到你。
For the Lord GOD says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.
12 我必藉勇士的刀使你的眾民仆倒;這勇士都是列國中強暴的。 他們必使埃及的驕傲歸於無有; 埃及的眾民必被滅絕。
I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty. They are all the ruthless of the nations. They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing, and all its multitude will be destroyed.
13 我必從埃及多水旁除滅所有的走獸; 人腳獸蹄必不再攪渾這水。
I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them.
14 那時,我必使埃及河澄清, 江河像油緩流。 這是主耶和華說的。
Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says the Lord GOD.
15 我使埃及地變為荒廢淒涼; 這地缺少從前所充滿的, 又擊殺其中一切的居民。 那時,他們就知道我是耶和華。
“When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell therein, then they will know that I am the LORD.
16 「人必用這哀歌去哀哭,列國的女子為埃及和她的群眾也必以此悲哀。這是主耶和華說的。」
“‘“This is the lamentation with which they will lament. The daughters of the nations will lament with this. They will lament with it over Egypt, and over all her multitude,” says the Lord GOD.’”
17 十二年十二月十五日,耶和華的話臨到我說:
Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 「人子啊,你要為埃及群眾哀號,又要將埃及和有名之國的女子,並下坑的人,一同扔到陰府去。
“Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19 你埃及的美麗勝過誰呢? 你下去與未受割禮的人一同躺臥吧!
Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
20 他們必在被殺的人中仆到。她被交給刀劍,要把她和她的群眾拉去。
They will fall among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.
21 強盛的勇士要在陰間對埃及王和幫助他的說話;他們是未受割禮被殺的人,已經下去,躺臥不動。 (Sheol h7585)
The strong among the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 「亞述和她的眾民都在那裏,她民的墳墓在她四圍;他們都是被殺倒在刀下的。
“Asshur is there with all her company. Her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
23 他們的墳墓在坑中極深之處。她的眾民在她墳墓的四圍,都是被殺倒在刀下的;他們曾在活人之地使人驚恐。
whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
24 「以攔也在那裏,她的群眾在她墳墓的四圍,都是被殺倒在刀下、未受割禮而下陰府的;他們曾在活人之地使人驚恐,並且與下坑的人一同擔當羞辱。
“There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25 人給她和她的群眾在被殺的人中設立床榻。她民的墳墓在她四圍,他們都是未受割禮被刀殺的;他們曾在活人之地使人驚恐,並且與下坑的人一同擔當羞辱。以攔已經放在被殺的人中。
They have made Elam a bed among the slain with all her multitude. Her graves are around her, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put among those who are slain.
26 「米設、土巴,和她們的群眾都在那裏。她民的墳墓在她四圍,他們都是未受割禮被刀殺的;他們曾在活人之地使人驚恐。
“There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude. Their graves are around them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27 他們不得與那未受割禮仆倒的勇士一同躺臥;這些勇士帶着兵器下陰間,頭枕刀劍,骨頭上有本身的罪孽;他們曾在活人之地使勇士驚恐。 (Sheol h7585)
They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads. Their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 「法老啊,你必在未受割禮的人中敗壞,與那些被殺的人一同躺臥。
“But you will be broken among the uncircumcised, and will lie with those who are slain by the sword.
29 「以東也在那裏。她君王和一切首領雖然仗着勢力,還是放在被殺的人中;他們必與未受割禮的和下坑的人一同躺臥。
“There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword. They will lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
30 「在那裏有北方的眾王子和一切西頓人,都與被殺的人下去。他們雖然仗着勢力使人驚恐,還是蒙羞。他們未受割禮,和被刀殺的一同躺臥,與下坑的人一同擔當羞辱。
“There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain. They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might. They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31 「法老看見他們,便為他被殺的軍隊受安慰。這是主耶和華說的。
“Pharaoh will see them and will be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,” says the Lord GOD.
32 我任憑法老在活人之地使人驚恐,法老和他的群眾必放在未受割禮和被殺的人中。這是主耶和華說的。」
“For I have put his terror in the land of the living. He will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude,” says the Lord GOD.
