Isaiah 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.

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战兢；埃及人的心在里面消化。

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

海中的水必绝尽，河也消没干涸。

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.

江河要变臭；埃及的河水都必减少枯干。苇子和芦荻都必衰残；

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.

靠尼罗河旁的草田，并沿尼罗河所种的田，都必枯干。庄稼被风吹去，归于无有。

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.

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。

Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

用梳好的麻造物的和织白布的都必羞愧；

And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

国柱必被打碎，所有佣工的，心必愁烦。

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?

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

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.

你的智慧人在哪里呢？万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意，他们可以知道，可以告诉你吧！

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.

琐安的首领都变为愚昧；挪弗的首领都受了迷惑。当埃及支派房角石的，使埃及人走错了路。

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.

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

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

埃及中，无论是头与尾，棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。

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.

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。

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.

犹大地必使埃及惊恐，向谁提起犹大地，谁就惧怕。这是因万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意。

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.

当那日，埃及地必有五城的人说迦南的方言，又指著万军之耶和华起誓。有一城必称为灭亡城。

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.

当那日，在埃及地中必有为耶和华筑的一座坛；在埃及的边界上必有为耶和华立的一根柱。

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.

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 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.

耶和华必被埃及人所认识。在那日，埃及人必认识耶和华，也要献祭物和供物敬拜他，并向耶和华许愿还愿。

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.

耶和华必击打埃及，又击打又医治，埃及人就归向耶和华。他必应允他们的祷告，医治他们。

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.

当那日，必有从埃及通亚述去的大道。亚述人要进入埃及，埃及人也进入亚述；埃及人要与亚述人一同敬拜耶和华。

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

当那日，以色列必与埃及、亚述三国一律，使地上的人得福；

Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

因为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！
