关于古实的预言

18 古实河外,船只彼此碰撞,

响声四起之地,有祸了!

这就是那经常差派使者,

在水面上乘坐蒲草船渡海的地方。

去吧!快行的使者,到那身躯高大、皮肤光滑的国去,

到一个远近都为人所惧怕的民族那里去,

这国是强盛和践踏人的,

他们的地有河流把地分开。

世上所有的居民,住在全地上的人哪!

山上竖起旗帜的时候,你们要注意;

号角吹响的时候,你们要聆听。

A Prophecy Against Cush

18 Woe(A) to the land of whirring wings[a]
    along the rivers of Cush,[b](B)
which sends envoys(C) by sea
    in papyrus(D) boats over the water.

Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,(E)
    to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive(F) nation of strange speech,
    whose land is divided by rivers.(G)

All you people of the world,(H)
    you who live on the earth,
when a banner(I) is raised on the mountains,
    you will see it,
and when a trumpet(J) sounds,
    you will hear it.
