1關於埃及的預言關於埃及的默示：看哪！耶和華駕著輕快的雲，來到埃及；埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢，埃及人的心都驚怕。
1The burden of Egypt: “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
2我要激動埃及人去攻擊埃及人，他們就相爭起來，各人攻擊自己的兄弟，各人攻擊自己的鄰舍，城攻擊城；國攻擊國。
2I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3埃及人的意志必消沉，我要破壞他們的計謀；他們必求問偶像、念咒的、交鬼的和行巫術的。
3The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
4我必把埃及人交在殘暴的主人手中；兇猛的君王要管轄他們；這是主萬軍之耶和華說的。
4I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
5海中的眾水必乾透，河床必枯竭乾涸。
5The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
6河道必發臭，埃及眾河流的水必消退乾涸；葦子和蘆荻都必枯萎。
6The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
7尼羅河旁、尼羅河口的草田，以及沿著尼羅河所種的田都必枯乾，被吹散，不再存在。
7The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8打魚的人必哀號；所有在尼羅河上垂釣的必悲傷；那些在水面上撒網的，必灰心難過。
8The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
9那些用梳好的麻來紡紗的，和那些織白布的，都必羞愧。
9Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
10埃及的柱石必被打碎，所有受雇的工人也必心裡憂愁。
10The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
11瑣安的領袖非常愚昧，法老那些最有智慧的謀士所籌算的，都成為愚昧。你們怎能對法老說：“我是智慧人的兒子，是古代君王的後裔”呢？
11The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?”
12你的智慧人在哪裡呢？萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意是怎樣的？就讓他們告訴你，使你知道吧！
12Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.
13瑣安的領袖都變為愚昧，挪弗的領袖都受了欺騙；那些在埃及支派中作房角石的，使埃及人走錯了路。
13The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14耶和華讓歪曲的靈攙入埃及當中，以致他們使埃及一切所作的都有謬誤，好像醉酒的人嘔吐的時候，東倒西歪一樣。
14Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15無論是頭或尾、棕枝或蘆葦所作的，都不能為埃及成就甚麼事。
15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
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之上揮手而戰兢恐懼。
16In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of Armies, which he shakes over them.
17猶大地必使埃及驚恐；無論誰向埃及人提起猶大地，他們都懼怕，因為這是萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意。
17The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it.
18到那日，埃及地必有五座城的人說迦南的方言，又指著萬軍之耶和華起誓，必有一座城稱為“毀滅城”（“毀滅城”或譯：“太陽城”）。
18In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
19到那日，在埃及地必有一座獻給耶和華的祭壇；在埃及的邊界上必有一根獻給耶和華的柱子。
19In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.
20這都要在埃及地作萬軍之耶和華的記號和證據。埃及人因受人欺壓向耶和華哀求的時候，他就差派一位拯救者和維護者到他們那裡，他必拯救他們。
20It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
21耶和華必被埃及人認識。到那日，埃及人必認識耶和華；他們也要用祭物和供物來敬拜他，並且向耶和華許願、還願。
21Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.
22耶和華必擊打埃及，既擊打、又醫治，他們就回轉歸向耶和華，他必應允他們的禱告，醫治他們。
22Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
23到那日，必有一條從埃及通到亞述的大道；亞述人要進到埃及，埃及人也要進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。
23In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24到那日，以色列必與埃及和亞述一起成為地上列國的祝福。
24In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
25萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：“我的子民埃及，我手的工程亞述，我的產業以色列，都是有福的！”
25because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
