1The word of the LORD came again to me saying,
1耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2'Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Wail, 'Alas for the day!'
2人子啊，你要發預言說，主耶和華如此說：哀哉這日！你們應當哭號。
3'For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time [of doom] for the nations.
3因為耶和華的日子臨近，就是密雲之日，列國受罰之期。
4'A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her wealth, And her foundations are torn down.
4必有刀劍臨到埃及；在埃及被殺之人仆倒的時候，古實人就有痛苦，人民必被擄掠，基址必被拆毀。
5'Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword.'
5古實人、弗人（或譯：呂彼亞）、路德人、雜族的人民，並古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要與埃及人一同倒在刀下。
6'Thus says the LORD, 'Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol [to] Syene They will fall within her by the sword,' Declares the Lord GOD.
6耶和華如此說：扶助埃及的也必傾倒。埃及因勢力而有的驕傲必降低微；其中的人民，從色弗尼塔起（見二十九章十節）必倒在刀下。這是主耶和華說的。
7'They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.
7埃及地在荒涼的國中必成為荒涼；埃及城在荒廢的城中也變為荒廢。
8'And they will know that I am the LORD, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.
8我在埃及中使火著起；幫助埃及的，都被滅絕。那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。
9'On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secure Ethiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!'
9到那日，必有使者坐船，從我面前出去，使安逸無慮的古實人驚懼；必有痛苦臨到他們，好像埃及遭災的日子一樣。看哪，這事臨近了！
10'Thus says the Lord GOD, 'I will also make the hordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
10主耶和華如此說：我必藉巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手，除滅埃及眾人。
11'He and his people with him, The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain.
11他和隨從他的人，就是列國中強暴的，必進來毀滅這地。他們必拔刀攻擊埃及，使遍地有被殺的人。
12'Moreover, I will make the Nile canals dry And sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate And all that is in it, By the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken.'
12我必使江河乾涸，將地賣在惡人的手中；我必藉外邦人的手，使這地和其中所有的變為淒涼。這是我─耶和華說的。
13'Thus says the Lord GOD, 'I will also destroy the idols And make the images cease from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
13主耶和華如此說：我必毀滅偶像，從挪弗除滅神像；必不再有君王出自埃及地。我要使埃及地的人懼怕。
14'I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes.
14我必使巴忒羅荒涼，在瑣安中使火著起，向挪施行審判。
15'I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also cut off the hordes of Thebes.
15我必將我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上，就是訓上，並要剪除挪的眾人。
16'I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis [will have] distresses daily.
16我必在埃及中使火著起；訓必大大痛苦；挪必被攻破；挪弗白日（或譯：終日）見仇敵。
17'The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity.
17亞文和比伯實的少年人必倒在刀下；這些城的人必被擄掠。
18'In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.
18我在答比匿折斷埃及的諸軛，使他因勢力而有的驕傲在其中止息。那時，日光必退去；至於這城，必有密雲遮蔽，其中的女子必被擄掠。
19'Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the LORD.'''
19我必這樣向埃及施行審判，他們就知道我是耶和華。
20In the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,
20十一年正月初七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
21'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to hold the sword.
21人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；沒有敷藥，也沒有用布纏好，使他有力持刀。
22'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
22所以主耶和華如此說：看哪，我與埃及王法老為敵，必將他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打斷，使刀從他手中墜落。
23'I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
23我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦。
24'For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man.
24我必使巴比倫王的膀臂有力，將我的刀交在他手中；卻要打斷法老的膀臂，他就在巴比倫王面前唉哼，如同受死傷的人一樣。
25'Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.
25我必扶持巴比倫王的膀臂，法老的膀臂卻要下垂；我將我的刀交在巴比倫王手中，他必舉刀攻擊埃及地，他們就知道我是耶和華。
26'When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the LORD.''
26我必將埃及人分散在列國，四散在列邦；他們就知道我是耶和華。
