Chapter 30

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。
