以西结书 29

Chinese New Version (Simplified)

将埃及地赐给巴比伦王

29 第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说： ²“人子啊！你要面向埃及王法老，说预言攻击他和埃及全地。 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。”

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。 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。” 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。 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。 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。

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。 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。 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。 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。’”

¹⁷二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说： 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，并没有从那里得到甚么报酬。 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。 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。 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。”

Prophecy Against Egypt

29 ^(A)In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: ²^(B)“Son of man, ^(C)set your face against ^(D)Pharaoh king of Egypt, ^(E)and prophesy against him and ^(F)against all Egypt; ³speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:

^(G)“Behold, I am against you,
    Pharaoh king of Egypt,
^(H)the great dragon that lies
    in the midst of his streams,
^(I)that says, ‘My Nile is my own;
    I made it for myself.’
⁴I will ^(J)put hooks in your jaws,
    and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales;
and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams,
    with all the fish of your streams
    that stick to your scales.
⁵^(K)And I will cast you out into the wilderness,
    you and all the fish of your streams;
you shall fall ^(L)on the open field,
    and ^(M)not be brought together or gathered.
To the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens
    ^(N)I give you as food.

⁶Then all the inhabitants of Egypt ^(O)shall know that I am the Lord.

“Because you^[a] have been ^(P)a staff of reed to the house of Israel, ⁷^(Q)when they grasped you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins to shake.^[b] ⁸Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(R)Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast, ⁹and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. ^(S)Then they will know that I am the Lord.

^(T)“Because you^[c] said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it,’ ¹⁰therefore, ^(U)behold, I am against you and ^(V)against your streams, and ^(W)I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, ^(X)from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. ¹¹^(Y)No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years. ¹²^(Z)And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. ^(AA)I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

¹³“For thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years ^(AB)I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, ¹⁴and ^(AC)I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to ^(AD)the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom. ¹⁵It shall be the most lowly of the kingdoms, ^(AE)and never again exalt itself above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations. ¹⁶And it shall never again be ^(AF)the reliance of the house of Israel, recalling their iniquity, when they turn to them for aid. ^(AG)Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”

¹⁷^(AH)In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁸^(AI)“Son of man, ^(AJ)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against her. ¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(AK)Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; ^(AL)and he shall carry off its wealth^[d] ^(AM)and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. ²⁰^(AN)I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me, declares the Lord God.

²¹“On that day ^(AO)I will cause a horn to spring up for the house of Israel, and ^(AP)I will open your lips among them. ^(AQ)Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

A Prophecy Against Egypt

Judgment on Pharaoh

29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me:^(A) ²“Son of man, set your face against^(B) Pharaoh king of Egypt^(C) and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.^(D) ³Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘I am against you, Pharaoh^(E) king of Egypt,
    you great monster^(F) lying among your streams.
You say, “The Nile^(G) belongs to me;
    I made it for myself.”
⁴But I will put hooks^(H) in your jaws
    and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
    with all the fish sticking to your scales.^(I)
⁵I will leave you in the desert,
    you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
    and not be gathered^(J) or picked up.
I will give you as food
    to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky.^(K)

⁶Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.

“‘You have been a staff of reed^(L) for the people of Israel. ⁷When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered^(M) and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.^[a]^(N)

⁸“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring a sword against you and kill both man and beast.^(O) ⁹Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

“‘Because you said, “The Nile^(P) is mine; I made it,^(Q)” ¹⁰therefore I am against you^(R) and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt^(S) a ruin and a desolate waste^(T) from Migdol^(U) to Aswan,^(V) as far as the border of Cush.^[b]^(W) ¹¹The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.^(X) ¹²I will make the land of Egypt desolate^(Y) among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.^(Z)

¹³“‘Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered. ¹⁴I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt,^(AA) the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly^(AB) kingdom.^(AC) ¹⁵It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.^(AD) I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. ¹⁶Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence^(AE) for the people of Israel but will be a reminder^(AF) of their sin in turning to her for help.^(AG) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.^(AH)’”

Nebuchadnezzar’s Reward

¹⁷In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:^(AI) ¹⁸“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar^(AJ) king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare^(AK) and every shoulder made raw.^(AL) Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre. ¹⁹Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king^(AM) of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder^(AN) the land as pay for his army.^(AO) ²⁰I have given him Egypt^(AP) as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(AQ)

²¹“On that day I will make a horn^[c]^(AR) grow for the Israelites, and I will open your mouth^(AS) among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(AT)”
