¹ 第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说：

² 人子啊，你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地，

³ 说主耶和华如此说：埃及王法老啊，我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌。你曾说：这河是我的，是我为自己造的。

⁴ 我─耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊，又使江河中的鱼贴住你的鳞甲；我必将你和所有贴住你鳞甲的鱼，从江河中拉上来，

⁵ 把你并江河中的鱼都抛在旷野；你必倒在田间，不被收殓，不被掩埋。我已将你给地上野兽、空中飞鸟作食物。

⁶ 埃及一切的居民，因向以色列家成了芦苇的杖，就知道我是耶和华。

⁷ 他们用手持住你，你就断折，伤了他们的肩；他们倚靠你，你就断折，闪了他们的腰。

⁸ 所以主耶和华如此说：我必使刀剑临到你，从你中间将人与牲畜剪除。

⁹ 埃及地必荒废凄凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。因为法老说：这河是我的，是我所造的，

¹⁰ 所以我必与你并你的江河为敌，使埃及地，从色弗尼塔直到古实境界，全然荒废凄凉。

¹¹ 人的脚、兽的蹄都不经过，四十年之久并无人居住。

¹² 我必使埃及地在荒凉的国中成为荒凉，使埃及城在荒废的城中变为荒废，共有四十年。我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。

¹³ 主耶和华如此说：满了四十年，我必招聚分散在各国民中的埃及人。

¹⁴ 我必叫埃及被掳的人回来，使他们归回本地巴忒罗。在那里必成为低微的国，

¹⁵ 必为列国中最低微的，也不再自高於列国之上。我必减少他们，以致不再辖制列国。

¹⁶ 埃及必不再作以色列家所倚靠的；以色列家仰望埃及人的时候，便思念罪孽。他们就知道我是主耶和华。

¹⁷ 二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：

¹⁸ 人子啊，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵大大效劳，攻打推罗，以致头都光秃，肩都磨破；然而他和他的军兵攻打推罗，并没有从那里得甚麽酬劳。

¹⁹ 所以主耶和华如此说：我必将埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒；他必掳掠埃及群众，抢其中的财为掳物，夺其中的货为掠物，这就可以作他军兵的酬劳。

²⁰ 我将埃及地赐给他，酬他所效的劳，因王与军兵是为我勤劳。这是主耶和华说的。

²¹ 当那日，我必使以色列家的角发生，又必使你─以西结在他们中间得以开口；他们就知道我是耶和华。

¹ God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

² The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

³ Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

⁴ But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

⁵ I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

⁷ Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

⁸ God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

⁹ "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

¹¹ I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

¹² God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

¹³ I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁷ God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁸ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

²⁰ Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

²¹ He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

²² Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

²³ Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

²⁴ Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

²⁵ He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

²⁶ He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

²⁷ May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

²⁸ Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

²⁹ All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
