¹将埃及地赐给巴比伦王

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to 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 your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

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 say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and 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。

⁴I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.

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。

⁵I’ll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

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。

⁶All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been 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。

⁷When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs.”

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 says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.

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。”

⁹The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have 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, behold, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.

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。

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be 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。

¹²I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”

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。

¹³For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were 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 will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base 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。

¹⁵It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the 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。’”

¹⁶It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”’”

¹⁷二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：

¹⁷It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to 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。

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had 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 says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

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。

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the Lord Yahweh.

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 will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
