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 The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

² Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day!

³ For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

⁴ A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

⁵ Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁶ Thus says Yahweh: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁷ They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁸ They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

⁹ In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.

¹⁰ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

¹¹ He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

¹² I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

¹³ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.

¹⁵ I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶ I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis [shall have] adversaries in the daytime.

¹⁷ The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these [cities] shall go into captivity.

¹⁸ At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁹ Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

²⁰ It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²¹ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up, to apply [healing] medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.

²² Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong [arm], and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²³ I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²⁴ I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

²⁵ I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.

²⁶ I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
