以賽亞書 19

¹論埃及的默示：看哪，耶和華乘駕快雲，臨到埃及。埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢；埃及人的心在裡面消化。This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.

²我必激動埃及人攻擊埃及人─弟兄攻擊弟兄，鄰舍攻擊鄰舍；這城攻擊那城，這國攻擊那國。“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

³埃及人的心神必在裡面耗盡；我必敗壞他們的謀略。他們必求問偶像和念咒的、交鬼的、行巫術的。Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.

⁴我必將埃及人交在殘忍主的手中；強暴王必轄制他們。這是主─萬軍之耶和華說的。I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of a harsh master, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

⁵海中的水必絕盡，河也消沒乾涸。The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.

⁶江河要變臭；埃及的河水都必減少枯乾。葦子和蘆荻都必衰殘；The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.

⁷靠尼羅河旁的草田，並沿尼羅河所種的田，都必枯乾。莊稼被風吹去，歸於無有。The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.

⁸打魚的必哀哭。在尼羅河一切釣魚的必悲傷；在水上撒網的必都衰弱。Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

⁹用梳好的麻造物的和織白布的都必羞愧；The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.

¹⁰國柱必被打碎，所有傭工的，心必愁煩。The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.

¹¹瑣安的首領極其愚昧；法老大有智慧的謀士，所籌劃的成為愚謀。你們怎敢對法老說：我是智慧人的子孫，我是古王的後裔？The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?

¹²你的智慧人在哪裡呢？萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意，他們可以知道，可以告訴你吧！Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.

¹³瑣安的首領都變為愚昧；挪弗的首領都受了迷惑。當埃及支派房角石的，使埃及人走錯了路。The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.

¹⁴耶和華使乖謬的靈攙入埃及中間；首領使埃及一切所做的都有差錯，好像醉酒之人嘔吐的時候東倒西歪一樣。The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.

¹⁵埃及中，無論是頭與尾，棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。There is nothing Egypt can do—head or tail, palm or reed.

¹⁶到那日，埃及人必像婦人一樣，他們必因萬軍之耶和華在埃及以上所掄的手，戰兢懼怕。In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.

¹⁷猶大地必使埃及驚恐，向誰提起猶大地，誰就懼怕。這是因萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意。The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.

¹⁸當那日，埃及地必有五城的人說迦南的方言，又指著萬軍之耶和華起誓。有一城必稱為「滅亡城」。In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.

¹⁹當那日，在埃及地中必有為耶和華築的一座壇；在埃及的邊界上必有為耶和華立的一根柱。In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.

²⁰這都要在埃及地為萬軍之耶和華作記號和證據。埃及人因為受人的欺壓哀求耶和華，他就差遣一位救主作護衛者，拯救他們。It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.

²¹耶和華必被埃及人所認識。在那日，埃及人必認識耶和華，也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他，並向耶和華許願還願。The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.

²²耶和華必擊打埃及，又擊打又醫治，埃及人就歸向耶和華。他必應允他們的禱告，醫治他們。And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.

²³當那日，必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及，埃及人也進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.

²⁴當那日，以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律，使地上的人得福；In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.

²⁵因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：「埃及─我的百姓，亞述─我手的工作，以色列─我的產業，都有福了！」The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
