Ezekiel 29

1 In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 第十年十月十二日，耶和华对我说：

2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

2 “人子啊，你要面向埃及王法老，说预言斥责他和整个埃及，

3 Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’

3 你要告诉他，主耶和华这样说， “‘埃及王法老啊， 你这躺卧在自己河中的大怪物， 我要与你为敌。 你说这尼罗河属于你， 是你为自己造的。

4 But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.

4 但我要钩住你的腮， 使河中的鱼贴在你的鳞甲上， 把你连同贴在你鳞甲上的鱼一起从河中拉上来，

5 I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.

5 把你和你河中的鱼都丢弃在旷野。 你必暴尸野外，无人收殓。 我要让你成为走兽飞禽的食物。

6 Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.

6 “‘这样，所有的埃及人就知道我是耶和华，因为你不过是一根以色列人无法依靠的芦苇杖。

7 When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.

7 当他们用手握住你的时候，你就断裂，刺伤了他们的肩；当他们倚靠你的时候，你就折断，闪了他们的腰。

8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.

8 “‘因此，主耶和华说，看啊，我要使刀剑临到你，消灭你的人畜，

9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’

9 使埃及一片荒凉。这样，他们就知道我是耶和华。因为你说这尼罗河属于你，是你造的。

10 therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.

10 因此，我要攻击你和你的河流，使埃及从密夺到色弗尼，一直到古实的边界全都荒废。

11 No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.

11 四十年之内，这里必无人居住，人畜踪迹灭绝。

12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.

12 我必使埃及成为荒地中的荒地，让埃及的城邑沦为废墟中的废墟四十年。我要将埃及人驱赶到列国，分散到列邦。’

13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.

13 “主耶和华说，‘四十年之后，我要把分散的埃及人从各国聚集起来。

14 I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.

14 我要让被掳的埃及人返乡，使他们回到本土巴特罗，成为一个卑微的国家，

15 Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.

15 在列国中最衰微，再也不能雄居列国之上。我要使埃及国势衰弱，再也不能统治列国。

16 Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

16 埃及必不再是以色列人的指望，反而会使以色列人想起自己投靠埃及的罪。这样，他们便知道我是主耶和华。’”

17 In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 第二十七年一月一日，耶和华对我说：

18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.

18 “人子啊，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒派兵苦攻泰尔，以致士兵的头都秃了，肩也破了，却是徒劳无功。

19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.

19 所以主耶和华说，‘我要把埃及赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，他必把埃及的财富洗劫一空，用来犒赏自己的军队。

20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.

20 他和他的军队为我效力，所以我把埃及赐给他作为酬劳。’这是主耶和华说的。

21 In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

21 “到那天，我必复兴以色列 ，使你以西结在他们当中开口说话，这样他们就知道我是耶和华。”
