¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 人子啊，你要发预言说，主耶和华如此说：哀哉这日！你们应当哭号。

³ 因为耶和华的日子临近，就是密云之日，列国受罚之期。

⁴ 必有刀剑临到埃及；在埃及被杀之人仆倒的时候，古实人就有痛苦，人民必被掳掠，基址必被拆毁。

⁵ 古实人、弗人（或译：吕彼亚）、路德人、杂族的人民，并古巴人，以及同盟之地的人都要与埃及人一同倒在刀下。

⁶ 耶和华如此说：扶助埃及的也必倾倒。埃及因势力而有的骄傲必降低微；其中的人民，从色弗尼塔起（见二十九章十节）必倒在刀下。这是主耶和华说的。

⁷ 埃及地在荒凉的国中必成为荒凉；埃及城在荒废的城中也变为荒废。

⁸ 我在埃及中使火着起；帮助埃及的，都被灭绝。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。

⁹ 到那日，必有使者坐船，从我面前出去，使安逸无虑的古实人惊惧；必有痛苦临到他们，好像埃及遭灾的日子一样。看哪，这事临近了！

¹⁰ 主耶和华如此说：我必藉巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手，除灭埃及众人。

¹¹ 他和随从他的人，就是列国中强暴的，必进来毁灭这地。他们必拔刀攻击埃及，使遍地有被杀的人。

¹² 我必使江河乾涸，将地卖在恶人的手中；我必藉外邦人的手，使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉。这是我─耶和华说的。

¹³ 主耶和华如此说：我必毁灭偶像，从挪弗除灭神像；必不再有君王出自埃及地。我要使埃及地的人惧怕。

¹⁴ 我必使巴忒罗荒凉，在琐安中使火着起，向挪施行审判。

¹⁵ 我必将我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上，就是训上，并要剪除挪的众人。

¹⁶ 我必在埃及中使火着起；训必大大痛苦；挪必被攻破；挪弗白日（或译：终日）见仇敌。

¹⁷ 亚文和比伯实的少年人必倒在刀下；这些城的人必被掳掠。

¹⁸ 我在答比匿折断埃及的诸轭，使他因势力而有的骄傲在其中止息。那时，日光必退去；至於这城，必有密云遮蔽，其中的女子必被掳掠。

¹⁹ 我必这样向埃及施行审判，他们就知道我是耶和华。

²⁰ 十一年正月初七日，耶和华的话临到我说：

²¹ 人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂；没有敷药，也没有用布缠好，使他有力持刀。

²² 所以主耶和华如此说：看哪，我与埃及王法老为敌，必将他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打断，使刀从他手中坠落。

²³ 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。

²⁴ 我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力，将我的刀交在他手中；却要打断法老的膀臂，他就在巴比伦王面前唉哼，如同受死伤的人一样。

²⁵ 我必扶持巴比伦王的膀臂，法老的膀臂却要下垂；我将我的刀交在巴比伦王手中，他必举刀攻击埃及地，他们就知道我是耶和华。

²⁶ 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦；他们就知道我是耶和华。

¹ He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

² Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

³ Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

⁴ Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

⁶ Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

⁸ Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

⁹ Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹⁰ They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

¹¹ He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹² Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

¹³ Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

¹⁴ He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

¹⁵ Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶ The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
