以赛亚书19：1～15
SHEN 要惩罚埃及
1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。
2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。
3埃及人的心 SHEN 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。
4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。
5海中的水必绝尽，
河也消没干涸。
6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；
7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。
8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。
9用梳好的麻造物的
和织白布的都必羞愧；
10国柱必被打碎，
所有佣工的，心必愁烦。
11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？
12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！
13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。
14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。
15埃及中，无论是头与尾，
棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。
A Prophecy Against Egypt
1A prophecy against Egypt:
See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud
and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.
2“I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.
3The Egyptians will lose heart,
and I will bring their plans to nothing;
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
the mediums and the spiritists.
4I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
5The waters of the river will dry up,
and the riverbed will be parched and dry.
6The canals will stink;
the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.
The reeds and rushes will wither,
7also the plants along the Nile,
at the mouth of the river.
Every sown field along the Nile
will become parched, will blow away and be no more.
8The fishermen will groan and lament,
all who cast hooks into the Nile;
those who throw nets on the water
will pine away.
9Those who work with combed flax will despair,
the weavers of fine linen will lose hope.
10The workers in cloth will be dejected,
and all the wage earners will be sick at heart.
11The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools;
the wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise men,
a disciple of the ancient kings”?
12Where are your wise men now?
Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
has planned against Egypt.
13The officials of Zoan have become fools,
the leaders of Memphis are deceived;
the cornerstones of her peoples
have led Egypt astray.
14The Lord has poured into them
a spirit of dizziness;
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit.
15There is nothing Egypt can do—
head or tail, palm branch or reed.
