¹将埃及地赐给巴比伦王

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

²“人子啊！你要面向埃及王法老，说预言攻击他和埃及全地。

²`Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt — all of it.

³你要说：‘主耶和华这样说：埃及王法老啊！我要与你为敌，你这卧在自己河中的大海怪，你曾经说过：“这河是我的，是我自己造的。”

³Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My flood [is] my own, And I — I have made it [for] myself.

⁴但我耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊，使你河中的鱼都紧贴着你的鳞甲，我必把你和你河中所有紧贴着你的鳞甲的鱼，都从你河中拉上来。

⁴And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of thy floods to thy scales doth cleave.

⁵我必把你和你河中所有的鱼，都丢在旷野；你必倒在田间，无人收殓，无人埋葬。我已经把你给了地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟作食物。

⁵And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food.

⁶埃及所有的居民就都知道我是耶和华。因为你作了以色列家芦苇的杖。

⁶And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am] Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁷他们用手抓住你的时候，你就断裂，伤了他们的肩头；他们倚靠你，你就折断、扭伤了他们的腰。

⁷In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, — thou art crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their thighs to stand.

⁸因此，主耶和华这样说：看哪！我必使刀剑攻击你，把人和牲畜都从你那里剪除。

⁸Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and beast.

⁹埃及地必荒凉废弃，人就知道我是耶和华。”’因为法老曾说：“这河是我的，是我自己做的。”

⁹And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].

¹⁰所以我必与你和你的河为敌；我必使埃及地，从密夺到色弗尼，直到古实边界，都全然荒凉废弃。

¹⁰Therefore, lo, I [am] against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.

¹¹人的脚必不经过那里，兽的蹄也不经过那里；四十年之久，无人居住。

¹¹Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.

¹²我必使埃及成为荒地中的荒地，四十年之久，它的城必成为废城中的废城。我必把埃及人分散到列邦，四散在各地。

¹²And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.

¹³“‘主耶和华这样说：满了四十年，我必把埃及人从他们所分散到的万族中招聚回来。

¹³But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,

¹⁴我必使埃及被掳的人归回，使他们归回自己根源之地巴忒罗，在那里他们必成为低微的国。

¹⁴And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom.

¹⁵这国必成为列国中最低微的，也必不能再攀到列国之上；我必使他们弱小，以致他们不能再管辖列国。

¹⁵Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.

¹⁶埃及必不再作以色列家的倚靠；每逢以色列家转去仰赖埃及人的时候，他们就想起自己的罪孽。这样，他们就知道我是主耶和华。’”

¹⁶And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.`

¹⁷二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:

¹⁸“人子啊！巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵千辛万苦攻打推罗，以致各人都头秃肩破；但是他和他的军兵攻打推罗所付出的辛劳，并没有从那里得到什么报酬。

¹⁸`Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald — every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.

¹⁹因此，主耶和华这样说：看哪！我必把埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，他把埃及的财富带走，抢其中的财为掳物，夺其中的货为掠物，作他军兵的报酬。

¹⁹Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it hath been a reward to his force.

²⁰我把埃及地赐给他，作辛劳的报酬，因为他们都是为我效力的。这是主耶和华的宣告。

²⁰His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The land of Egypt — in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

²¹到了那天，我必使以色列家的角生出来，我也必使你以西结在他们中间开口。他们就知道我是耶和华。”

²¹In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
