以赛亚书 19
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
关于埃及的预言
19 关于埃及的默示：
看哪！耶和华驾着轻快的云，
来到埃及；
埃及的偶像在他面前战兢，
埃及人的心都惊怕。
2 我要激动埃及人去攻击埃及人，
他们就相争起来，各人攻击自己的兄弟，各人攻击自己的邻舍，
城攻击城；国攻击国。
3 埃及人的意志必消沉，
我要破坏他们的计谋；
他们必求问偶像、念咒的、
交鬼的和行巫术的。
4 我必把埃及人交在残暴的主人手中；
凶猛的君王要管辖他们；这是主万军之耶和华说的。
5 海中的众水必干透，
河床必枯竭干涸。
6 河道必发臭，
埃及众河流的水必消退干涸；
苇子和芦荻都必枯萎。
7 尼罗河旁、尼罗河口的草田，
以及沿着尼罗河所种的田都必枯干，
被吹散，不再存在。
8 打鱼的人必哀号；
所有在尼罗河上垂钓的必悲伤；
那些在水面上撒网的，必灰心难过。
9 那些用梳好的麻来纺纱的，
和那些织白布的，都必羞愧。
10 埃及的柱石必被打碎，
所有受雇的工人也必心里忧愁。
11 琐安的领袖非常愚昧，
法老那些最有智慧的谋士所筹算的，
都成为愚昧。
你们怎能对法老说：
“我是智慧人的儿子，是古代君王的后裔”呢？
12 你的智慧人在哪里呢？
万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意是怎样的？
就让他们告诉你，使你知道吧！
13 琐安的领袖都变为愚昧，
挪弗的领袖都受了欺骗；
那些在埃及支派中作房角石的，
使埃及人走错了路。
14 耶和华让歪曲的灵搀入埃及当中，
以致他们使埃及一切所作的都有谬误，
好象醉酒的人呕吐的时候，东倒西歪一样。
15 无论是头或尾、棕枝或芦苇所作的，
都不能为埃及成就甚么事。
16 到那日，埃及人必像妇人一样。他们必因万军之耶和华在埃及之上挥手而战兢恐惧。 17 犹大地必使埃及惊恐；无论谁向埃及人提起犹大地，他们都惧怕，因为这是万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意。
18 到那日，埃及地必有五座城的人说迦南的方言，又指着万军之耶和华起誓，必有一座城称为“毁灭城”（“毁灭城”或译：“太阳城”）。
19 到那日，在埃及地必有一座献给耶和华的祭坛；在埃及的边界上必有一根献给耶和华的柱子。 20 这都要在埃及地作万军之耶和华的记号和证据。埃及人因受人欺压向耶和华哀求的时候，他就差派一位拯救者和维护者到他们那里，他必拯救他们。 21 耶和华必被埃及人认识。到那日，埃及人必认识耶和华；他们也要用祭物和供物来敬拜他，并且向耶和华许愿、还愿。 22 耶和华必击打埃及，既击打、又医治，他们就回转归向耶和华，他必应允他们的祷告，医治他们。
23 到那日，必有一条从埃及通到亚述的大道；亚述人要进到埃及，埃及人也要进入亚述；埃及人要与亚述人一同敬拜耶和华。
24 到那日，以色列必与埃及和亚述一起成为地上列国的祝福。 25 万军之耶和华赐福给他们，说：“我的子民埃及，我手的工程亚述，我的产业以色列，都是有福的！”
Isaiah 19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
19 The mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Egypt: Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, every one against his brother and every one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of the Egyptians within them will become exhausted and emptied out and will fail, and I will destroy their counsel and confound their plans; and they will seek counsel from the idols and the sorcerers, and from those having familiar spirits (the mediums) and the wizards.
4 And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard and cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the Nile, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.
6 And the rivers shall become foul, the streams and canals of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up, the reeds and the rushes shall wither and rot away.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile shall become dry, be blown away, and be no more.
8 The fishermen will lament, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn; and they who spread nets upon the waters will languish.
9 Moreover, they who work with combed flax and they who weave white [cotton] cloth will be confounded and in despair.
10 [Those who are] the pillars and foundations of Egypt will be crushed, and all those who work for hire or who build dams will be grieved.
11 The princes of Zoan [ancient capital of the Pharaohs] are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become witless (stupid). How can you say to Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings?
12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now [if they are so wise], and let them make known what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt [if they can].
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis are confused and deceived; those who are the cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has mingled a spirit of perverseness, error, and confusion within her; [her leaders] have caused Egypt to stagger in all her doings, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Neither can any work [done singly or by concerted action] accomplish anything for Egypt, whether by head or tail, palm branch or rush [high or low].
16 In that day will the Egyptians be like women [timid and helpless]; and they will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts which He shakes over them.
17 And the land of Judah [allied to Assyria] shall become a terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom mention of it is made will be afraid and everyone who mentions it—to him will they turn in fear, because of the purpose of the Lord of hosts which He purposes against Egypt.
18 In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of [the Hebrews of] Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun or Destruction.
19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
20 And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a savior, even a mighty one, and he will deliver them.(A)
21 And the Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know (have knowledge of, be acquainted with, give heed to, and cherish) the Lord in that day and will worship with sacrifices of animal and vegetable offerings; they will vow a vow to the Lord and perform it.
22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt, smiting and healing it; and they will return to the Lord, and He will listen to their entreaties and heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship [the Lord] with the Assyrians.
24 In that day Israel shall be the third, with Egypt and with Assyria [in a Messianic league], a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 Whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands and Israel My heritage.
Isaiah 19
King James Version
19 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it.
22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
