以西结书 29
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
预言审判埃及
29 第十年十月十二日,耶和华对我说: 2 “人子啊,你要说预言斥责埃及王法老和埃及全国, 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 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 丢弃在旷野。
你必暴尸野外,无人收殓。
我要让你成为野兽和飞鸟的食物。
6 “‘这样,所有的埃及人就知道我是耶和华,因为你不过是一根芦苇,以色列人无法依靠你。 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 “‘因此,主耶和华说,看啊,我要使刀剑临到你,消灭你的人畜, 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 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 四十年之内,这里必无人居住,人兽踪迹灭绝。 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,长达四十年。我要将埃及人驱散到列国,分散到列邦。’
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 我要把被掳的埃及人带回来,使他们回到故土巴特罗,成为一个卑微的国家, 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 埃及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 第二十七年一月一日,耶和华对我说: 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 所以主耶和华说,‘我要把埃及赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒,他必掳掠埃及的财富为战利品,犒赏自己的军队。 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 “到那天,我必复兴以色列[a],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。”

Profecia contra o Egito
29 No décimo ano do nosso cativeiro, no dia doze do décimo mês, o Senhor me disse o seguinte:
2 — Homem mortal, fale contra o rei do Egito. Diga-lhe como ele e toda a terra do Egito serão castigados. 3 Diga que o Senhor Deus está dizendo isto ao rei do Egito: “Eu estou contra você, crocodilo monstruoso deitado no rio. Você diz que o rio Nilo é seu, que você mesmo o fez. 4 Mas eu porei um gancho no seu focinho e farei com que os peixes do seu rio fiquem agarrados em você. Então eu o puxarei para fora do rio Nilo, com todos os peixes agarrados em você. 5 Eu o jogarei no deserto e todos aqueles peixes também. O seu corpo ficará largado no chão e não será sepultado. Eu o darei às aves e aos animais selvagens como alimento. 6 Assim todo o povo do Egito ficará sabendo que eu sou o Senhor.”
O Senhor diz ao Egito:
— Os israelitas se apoiaram em você, mas você foi um bastão fraco. 7 Quando eles se apoiaram, você quebrou, machucou o ombro deles e fez com que torcessem as costas. 8 Por isso, eu, o Senhor Deus, estou lhe dizendo que farei com que homens o ataquem com espadas, e eles matarão a sua gente e os seus animais. 9 O Egito vai virar um deserto vazio. Aí você ficará sabendo que eu sou o Senhor.
— Você disse que o rio Nilo é seu e que foi você que o fez, 10 e por isso eu estou contra você e contra o seu rio Nilo. Farei com que todo o Egito vire um deserto vazio, desde a cidade de Migdol, no Norte, até a cidade de Assuã, no Sul, e até a fronteira da Etiópia. 11 Nenhuma pessoa ou animal passará pelas suas terras. Durante quarenta anos, o Egito ficará sem moradores. 12 Farei do Egito o país mais deserto do mundo. Durante quarenta anos, as cidades do Egito ficarão arrasadas, mais arrasadas do que quaisquer outras cidades. Farei com que os egípcios se tornem refugiados. Fugirão para todos os países e viverão no meio de outros povos.
13 O Senhor Deus diz:
— Depois desses quarenta anos, trarei os egípcios de volta das nações por onde os espalhei. 14 Eu os deixarei viver no Sul do Egito, a região de onde vieram. Ali eles serão um reino pequeno, 15 o mais fraco de todos, e nunca mais dominarão outras nações. Eu os diminuirei tanto, que não serão capazes de dominá-las. 16 Israel nunca mais dependerá da ajuda deles. O que aconteceu com o Egito fará com que o povo de Israel lembre como estava errado em confiar nos egípcios. Então Israel ficará sabendo que eu sou o Senhor Deus.
Nabucodonosor conquista o Egito
17 No ano vigésimo sétimo do nosso cativeiro, no primeiro dia do primeiro mês, o Senhor falou comigo. Ele disse:
18 — Homem mortal, escute. Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, atacou a cidade de Tiro. Ele obrigou os seus soldados a carregarem tanto peso, que os cabelos deles caíram, e os seus ombros ficaram esfolados. Mas nem o rei nem o seu exército conseguiram nada como pagamento pelos seus esforços.
19 — Agora, eu, o Senhor Deus, digo isto: “Darei a terra do Egito ao rei Nabucodonosor. Ele vai pegar toda a riqueza do Egito e vai levá-la como pagamento para o seu exército. 20 Eu darei a Nabucodonosor o Egito como pagamento pelos seus serviços, pois o seu exército está trabalhando para mim. Sou eu, o Senhor Deus, quem está falando.”
21 — Quando isso acontecer, farei com que o povo de Israel fique forte. E a você, Ezequiel, vou dar licença para falar onde todos possam ouvi-lo, e assim eles ficarão sabendo que eu sou o Senhor.

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) 3 Speak 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.”
4 But 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)
5 I 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)
6 Then 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. 7 When 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) 9 Egypt 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)” 10 therefore 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) 11 The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.(X) 12 I 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. 14 I 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) 15 It 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. 16 Egypt 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
17 In 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. 19 Therefore 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) 20 I 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)”

New King James Version
Proclamation Against Egypt
29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, (A)set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and (B)against all Egypt. 3 Speak, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(C)“Behold, I am against you,
O Pharaoh king of Egypt,
O great (D)monster who lies in the midst of his rivers,
(E)Who has said, ‘My [a]River is my own;
I have made it for myself.’
4 But (F)I will put hooks in your jaws,
And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales;
I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.
5 I will leave you in the wilderness,
You and all the fish of your rivers;
You shall fall on the [b]open (G)field;
(H)You shall not be picked up or [c]gathered.
(I)I have given you as food
To the beasts of the field
And to the birds of the heavens.
6 “Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
Shall know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been a (J)staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 (K)When they took hold of you with the hand,
You broke and tore all their [d]shoulders;
When they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their backs quiver.”
8 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will bring (L)a sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast. 9 And the land of Egypt shall become (M)desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the Lord, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’ 10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, (N)and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, (O)from [e]Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia. 11 (P)Neither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years. 12 (Q)I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will (R)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.”
13 ‘Yet, thus says the Lord God: “At the (S)end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered. 14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a (T)lowly kingdom. 15 It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore. 16 No longer shall it be (U)the confidence of the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity when they turned to follow them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.” ’ ”
Babylonia Will Plunder Egypt
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (V)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre; every head was made (W)bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will give the land of Egypt to (X)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he shall take away her wealth, carry off her spoil, and remove her pillage; and that will be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they (Y)worked for Me,’ says the Lord God.
21 ‘In that day (Z)I will cause the [f]horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will (AA)open your mouth to speak in their midst. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”
