¹埃及的哀歌

¹And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

²“人子啊！你要为埃及王法老作一首哀歌，对他说：‘你像列国中的少壮狮子，又像海中的海怪，你在河中翻腾，用你的爪搅动河水，使江河浑浊。

²`Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and thou hast said unto him: A young lion of nations thou hast been like, And thou [art] as a dragon in the seas, And thou comest forth with thy flowings, And dost trouble the waters with thy feet, And thou dost foul their flowings.

³主耶和华这样说：我必用多国的群众，把我的网撒在你身上，他们必用我的网把你拉上来。

³Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And — I have spread out for thee My net, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have brought thee up in My net.

⁴我必把你丢弃在地上，拋掷在田野，使空中的飞鸟都住在你身上，使地上所有的野兽都吃你而得饱足。

⁴And I have left thee in the land, On the face of the field I do cast thee out, And have caused to dwell upon thee every fowl of the heavens, And have satisfied out of thee the beasts of the whole earth.

⁵我必把你的肉丢在山上，把你高大的尸体填满山谷。

⁵And I have put thy flesh on the mountains, And filled the valleys [with] thy hugeness,

⁶我必用你流出的血浇灌地面，直到山上，水沟都必充满你的血。

⁶And watered the land with thy flowing, From thy blood — unto the mountains, And streams are filled from thee.

⁷我毁灭你的时候，必把天遮蔽，使天上的星昏暗，用密云遮盖太阳；月亮也必不发光。

⁷And in quenching thee I have covered the heavens, And have made black their stars, The sun with a cloud I do cover, And the moon causeth not its light to shine.

⁸我必使天上所有的光体都在你以上变为昏暗；我必使黑暗笼罩你的地；这是主耶和华的宣告。

⁸All luminaries of light in the heavens, I make black over thee, And I have given darkness over thy land, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,

⁹我使你在列国中灭亡的消息，传到你所不认识的列邦的时候，我必使万族的心感到不安。

⁹And I have vexed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in thy destruction among nations, Unto lands that thou hast not known.

¹⁰我在他们面前向你挥动刀剑的时候，他们必因你惊骇，他们的君王也必因你非常恐慌；在你倾覆的日子，他们各人都必为自己的性命时刻战兢。

¹⁰And I have made many peoples astonished at thee, And their kings are afraid at thee with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life — in the day of thy fall.

¹¹“‘主耶和华这样说：巴比伦王的刀必临到你。

¹¹For thus said the Lord Jehovah: A sword of the king of Babylon entereth thee,

¹²我必借着勇士的刀使你的众民倒下，这些勇士都是列国中最强横的人。他们必毁灭埃及所夸耀的；埃及的众民都必消灭。

¹²By swords of the mighty I cause thy multitude to fall, The terrible of nations — all of them, And they have spoiled the excellency of Egypt, And destroyed hath been all her multitude.

¹³我必从众水的旁边，除灭埃及所有的牲畜；人的脚必不再搅浊这些水，牲畜的蹄也不这样作。

¹³And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many waters, And trouble them not doth a foot of man any more, Yea, the hoofs of beasts trouble them not.

¹⁴那时，我必使众水澄清，使江河的水像油一样缓流；这是主耶和华的宣告。

¹⁴Then do I cause their waters to sink, And their rivers as oil I cause to go, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵我使埃及地荒凉，使这地失去它所充满的，又击杀其中所有的居民。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。

¹⁵In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And desolated hath been the land of its fulness, In My smiting all the inhabitants in it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁶这就是人为埃及所唱的哀歌，列国的女子必唱这哀歌；她们必为埃及和它的众民唱这哀歌。这是主耶和华的宣告。’”

¹⁶A lamentation it [is], and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations do lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.`

¹⁷十二年十二月十五日，耶和华的话临到我说：

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

¹⁸“人子啊！你要为埃及的众民哀号，要把埃及和强国的女子，与下坑的人一同送到地府那里。

¹⁸`Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It — and the daughters of honourable nations, Unto the earth — the lower parts, With those going down to the pit.

¹⁹你要对埃及说：‘你比谁更优越呢？你下去与那些没有受割礼的人一起长眠吧！’

¹⁹Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

²⁰他们必倒在那些被刀所杀的人中间；刀既拔出，埃及和它的众民都要被拉下去。

²⁰In the midst of the pierced of the sword they fall, [To] the sword she hath been given, They drew her out, and all her multitude.

²¹勇士中最强的必在阴间论到埃及和帮助埃及的说：‘他们已经下来了，他们与没有受割礼的，就是被刀所杀的人，一起长眠。’

²¹Speak to him do the gods of the mighty out of the midst of sheol, With his helpers — they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword.

²²亚述遭报“亚述和它的军队都在那里；他们的坟墓在它周围；他们都是被杀死的，是倒在刀下的。

²²There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, Round about him [are] his graves, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by sword,

²³他们的坟墓是放在坑中极深之处，亚述的众军都在它坟墓的周围，全是被杀死的，是倒在刀下的；他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地。

²³Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is round about her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living.

²⁴以拦遭报“以拦也在那里，它的众民都在它坟墓的周围，全是被杀死的，是倒在刀下的；他们没有受割礼而下到地府去；他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地，现在他们与下坑的人一同担当自己的羞辱。

²⁴There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Round about [is] her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth — the lower parts, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

²⁵在被杀的人中，有床为它和它的众民安设；他们的坟墓都在它周围；他们都是没有受割礼的，是被刀所杀的；他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地。现在他们与下坑的人一同担当自己的羞辱；以拦被安置在被杀的人中间。

²⁵In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for her with all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the pierced he hath been put.

²⁶米设和土巴遭报“米设、土巴和它们所有的人民都在那里；他们的坟墓都在米设和土巴的周围；他们都是没有受割礼的，是被刀所杀的；他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地。

²⁶There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living,

²⁷他们不都是与那些没有受割礼而倒毙的勇士一起长眠吗？这些勇士都带着兵器下到阴间，刀剑都放在自己的头下。他们的罪孽是在自己的骨头上。他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地。

²⁷And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living.

²⁸法老啊！至于你，你必在没有受割礼的人中被毁灭，与那些被刀所杀的人一起长眠。

²⁸And thou, in the midst of the uncircumcised art broken, And dost lie with the pierced of the sword.

²⁹以东遭报“以东也在那里，以东的众王和所有首领虽然英勇，还是与被刀所杀的人列在一起。他们必与没有受割礼而下坑的人一起长眠。

²⁹There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They with the uncircumcised do lie, And with those going down to the pit.

³⁰北方各族与西顿遭报“在那里有北方的众首领和所有西顿人；他们都与被杀死的人一同下去，他们虽然英勇，使人惊恐，还是蒙受了羞辱；他们没有受割礼而与那些被刀所杀的人一起长眠，与那些下坑的人一同担当羞辱。

³⁰There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, Of their might they are ashamed, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.

³¹“法老看见他们，就必为被刀所杀的众民，就是法老自己和他的全军，得了安慰。这是主耶和华的宣告。

³¹Then doth Pharaoh see, And he hath been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword — Pharaoh and all his force, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

³²虽然我任凭法老使惊恐散布在活人之地，他和他的众民必在没有受割礼的人中，与被刀所杀的人一起长眠。这是主耶和华的宣告。”

³²For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And he hath been laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With the pierced of the sword — Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!`
