旧约 以赛亚书 第19章

第1段

论埃及的默示。看哪,耶和华乘驾快云,临到埃及。埃及的偶像在他面前山兢。埃及人的心在里面消化。
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.

第2段

我必激动埃及人攻击埃及人,弟兄攻击弟兄,邻舍攻击邻舍,这城攻击那城,这国攻击那国。
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.

第3段

埃及人的心神,必在里面耗尽。我必败坏他们的谋略。他们必求问偶像,和念咒的,交鬼的,行巫术的。
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.

第4段

我必将埃及人交在残忍主的手中。强暴王必辖制他们。这是主万军之耶和华说的。
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.

第5段

海中的水必绝尽,河也消没乾涸。

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.

第7段

靠尼罗河旁的草田,并沿尼罗河所种的田,都必枯乾,庄稼被风吹去,归于无有。
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.

第8段

打鱼的必哀哭,在尼罗河一切钓鱼的必悲伤,在水上撒网的,必都衰弱。
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.

第9段

用梳好的麻造物的,和织白布的,都必羞愧。
Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

第10段

国柱必被打碎,所有佣工的,心必愁烦。
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

第11段

琐安的首领,极其愚昧,法老大有智慧的谋士,所筹画的,成为愚昧。你们怎敢对法老说,我是智慧人的子孙,我是古王的后裔。
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?

第12段

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.

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.

第14段

耶和华使乖谬的灵,搀入埃及中间。首领使埃及一切所作的都有差错,好像醉酒之人呕吐的时候,东倒西歪一样。
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.

第15段

埃及中无论是头与尾,棕枝与芦苇,所作之工,都不成就。
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

第16段

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以上所抡的手,战兢惧怕。
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.

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.

第20段

这都要在埃及地为万军之耶和华作记号和证据。埃及人因为受人的欺压哀求耶和华,他就差遣一位救主,作护卫者,拯救他们。
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.

第24段

当那日以色列必与埃及亚述三国一律,使地上的人得福。
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

第25段

因万军之耶和华赐福给他们,说,埃及我的百姓,亚述我手的工作,以色列我的产业,都有福了。
Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
