Eze 30:1-26.
英文原文
Eze 30:1-26.
CONTINUATION OF THE PROPHECIES AGAINST EGYPT.
Two distinct messages: (1) At
Eze 30:1-19,
a repetition of
Eze 29:1-16,
with fuller details of lifelike distinctness. The date is probably not long after that mentioned in
Eze 29:17,
on the eve of Nebuchadnezzar's march against Egypt after subjugating Tyre. (2) A vision relating directly to Pharaoh and the overthrow of his kingdom; communicated at an earlier date, the seventh of the first month of the eleventh year. Not a year after the date in
Eze 29:1,
and three months before the taking of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

2. 这日有祸了!——即“哀哉,这日!”
英文原文
2. Woe worth the day!--that is, Alas for the day!

3. 外邦人的日子——即向他们复仇的日子。对埃及的审判,是向神一切外邦仇敌施行普世审判的开端
(Joe 1:15; 2:1, 2; 3:1-21; Ob 15)。
英文原文
3. the time of the heathen--namely, for taking vengeance on them. The judgment on Egypt is the beginning of a world-wide judgment on all the heathen enemies of God
(Joe 1:15; 2:1, 2; 3:1-21; Ob 15).

4. 疼痛——字面作“如妇人生产时伴着战栗的阵痛”。
英文原文
4. pain--literally, "pangs with trembling as of a woman in childbirth."

无标题
5. 杂族人民——埃及从各地征募的雇佣兵,大多来自非洲腹地(参较
Eze 27:10; Jer 25:20, 24; 46:9, 21)。
古巴(Chub)——碑文上称为 Kufa 的民族[HAVERNICK],位于巴勒斯坦以北约相当距离之处[WILKINSON];或毛里塔尼亚的 Coba 或 Chobat 城[MAURER]。
同盟之地的人——这表达过于明确,不可能仅仅指“与埃及结盟之人”;更恰当的译法是“圣约之地的子民”,即迁往埃及、并带耶利米同去的犹太人
(Jer 42:1-44:30)。
连他们也必不能逃脱
(Jer 42:22; 44:14)。
英文原文
5. the mingled people--the mercenary troops of Egypt from various lands, mostly from the interior of Africa (compare
Eze 27:10; Jer 25:20, 24; 46:9, 21).
Chub--the people named Kufa on the monuments [HAVERNICK], a people considerably north of Palestine [WILKINSON]; Coba or Chobat, a city of Mauritania [MAURER].
men of the land that is in league--too definite an expression to mean merely, "men in league" with Egypt; rather, "sons of the land of the covenant," that is, the Jews who migrated to Egypt and carried Jeremiah with them
(Jer 42:1-44:30).
Even they shall not escape
(Jer 42:22; 44:14).

无标题
6. 从色弗尼塔(from the tower of Syene)——(见
Eze 29:10)。
英文原文
6. from the tower of Syene--(see on
Eze 29:10).

无标题
7. 在……列国中……荒凉——Egypt 的下场不会比他们更好
(Eze 29:10)。
英文原文
7. in the midst of . . . countries . . . desolate--Egypt shall fare no better than they
(Eze 29:10).
9
无标题
9. 使者……坐船……往 Ethiopia 人那里——
(Isa 18:1, 2)。
间隔他们与 Egypt 之间的瀑布不能拯救他们。Egypt 人“从我面前逃避”(在我施行审判之时),作为“使者”乘“小船”(“蒲草船”,
Isa 18:2)
沿 Nile 上溯至可航之处,宣告 Chaldeans 的推进。
如 Egypt 的日子——Ethiopia 的“痛苦”之日不久将临,正如 Egypt 的日子已临。
英文原文
9. messengers . . . in ships to . . . Ethiopians--
(Isa 18:1, 2).
The cataracts interposing between them and Egypt should not save them. Egyptians "fleeing from before Me" in My execution of judgment, as "messengers" in "skiffs" ("vessels of bulrushes,"
Isa 18:2)
shall go up the Nile as far as navigable, to announce the advance of the Chaldeans.
as in the day of Egypt--The day of Ethiopia's "pain" shall come shortly, as Egypt's day came.

10. 群众——即大量的人口。
英文原文
10. the multitude--the large population.
12
无标题
12. 河——从 Nile 引水灌溉的人工运河。这些河的干涸必导致谷物匮乏,从而为入侵者铺路
(Isa 19:5-10)。
英文原文
12. rivers--the artificial canals made from the Nile for irrigation. The drying up of these would cause scarcity of grain, and so prepare the way for the invaders
(Isa 19:5-10).
13
无标题
13. 挪弗(Noph)——即 Memphis,中 Egypt 的都城,也是“偶像”的堡垒。虽无记载说 Nebuchadnezzar“毁灭”了这些偶像,但我们从 HERODOTUS 等人得知,Cambyses 攻取 Egypt 的门户 Pelusium 时,将狗、猫等在 Egypt 视为圣物的动物置于军前,以致 Egyptian 不肯动手用兵器攻击它们。他杀了圣牛 Apis,并焚烧了 Egypt 其他的偶像。
不再有君王——指 Nebuchadnezzar 入侵之时,Apries 与 Amasis 内战中所行的无政府状态。Egypt 地必不再有统治全国的君王;或作不再有独立的君王。
英文原文
13. Noph--Memphis, the capital of Middle Egypt, and the stronghold of "idols." Though no record exists of Nebuchadnezzar's "destroying" these, we know from HERODOTUS and others, that Cambyses took Pelusium, the key of Egypt, by placing before his army dogs, cats, &c., all held sacred in Egypt, so that no Egyptian would use any weapon against them. He slew Apis, the sacred ox, and burnt other idols of Egypt.
no more a prince--referring to the anarchy that prevailed in the civil wars between Apries and Amasis at the time of Nebuchadnezzar's invasion. There shall no more be a prince of the land of Egypt, ruling the whole country; or, no independent prince.
14
无标题
14. 巴忒罗(Pathros)——即上 Egypt,其都城为“No”或 Thebes(以宏伟建筑闻名,至今仍有壮丽遗迹),与下 Egypt 三角洲内主要城邑 Zoan 或 Tanis 相对。
英文原文
14. Pathros--Upper Egypt, with "No" or Thebes its capital (famed for its stupendous buildings, of which grand ruins remain), in antithesis to Zoan or Tanis, a chief city in Lower Egypt, within the Delta.
15
无标题
15. 璣(Sin)——即裴鲁细(Pelusium),东北边境的堡垒,故称为“埃及的保障(即钥)”。它与在埃及另一端的挪(No)或底比斯(Thebes)相对;意即我要从一头到另一头击打埃及。
英文原文
15. Sin--that is, Pelusium, the frontier fortress on the northeast, therefore called "the strength (that is, the key) of Egypt." It stands in antithesis to No or Thebes at the opposite end of Egypt; that is, I will afflict Egypt from one end to the other.
16
无标题
16. 日日有苦难——MAURER 译作“白昼的仇敌”,即明目张胆的仇敌,并不等候黑夜的掩护才发动攻击(比较
Jer 6:4; 15:8)。
然而希伯来文虽罕见,有时也按英文译本译出(见
Ps 13:2)。
英文原文
16. distresses daily--MAURER translates, "enemies during the day," that is, open enemies who do not wait for the covert of night to make their attacks (compare
Jer 6:4; 15:8).
However, the Hebrew, though rarely, is sometimes rendered (see
Ps 13:2)
as in English Version.
17
无标题
17. 亚文(Aven)——意为“虚妄”或“罪孽”:借希伯来文名略作更改,用以指安城(On)或赫利奥波利斯(Heliopolis),暗指其偶像崇拜。日头之庙就在此地,故希伯来文称之为伯示麦(Beth-shemesh)
(Jer 43:13)。 埃及的象形文字称之为 Re Athom,即太阳,众神之父,具体显现于 Athom 或 Adam,即人类之父。
比伯实(Pi-beseth)——即下埃及(Lower Egypt)的布巴斯提斯(Bubastis),靠近尼罗河(Nile)的裴鲁细(Pelusiac)支流:因崇拜同名女神(科普特语〔Coptic〕作 Pasht)而臭名昭著,其庙宇的花岗岩石至今仍证明其昔日之宏伟。
这些城——更宜如七十士译本(Septuagint)作“那些妇人”,即亚文与比伯实的妇人,与“那些少年人”相对。照样在
Eze 30:18,
“女儿必被掳去” [MAURER]。
英文原文
17. Aven--meaning "vanity" or "iniquity": applied, by a slight change of the Hebrew name, to On or Heliopolis, in allusion to its idolatry. Here stood the temple of the sun, whence it was called in Hebrew, Beth-shemesh
(Jer 43:13).
The Egyptian hieroglyphics call it, Re Athom, the sun, the father of the gods, being impersonate in Athom or Adam, the father of mankind.
Pi-beseth--that is, Bubastis, in Lower Egypt, near the Pelusiac branch of the Nile: notorious for the worship of the goddess of the same name (Coptic, Pasht), the granite stones of whose temple still attest its former magnificence.
these cities--rather, as the Septuagint, "the women," namely, of Aven and Pi-beseth, in antithesis to "the young men." So in
Eze 30:18,
"daughters shall go into captivity" [MAURER].

无标题
18. 答比匿(Tehaphnehes)——得名于
1Ki 11:19
所提到的埃及王后。即裴鲁细(Pelusium)附近的大弗涅(Daphne),是法老们的王宫所在
(Jer 43:7, 9)。 称为哈内斯(Hanes,
Isa 30:4)。
折断……埃及的轭——即她加于列国之上的暴虐霸权。比较“他们所负的轭的绳索”
(Eze 34:7)。
云——即灾祸之云。
英文原文
18. Tehaphnehes--called from the queen of Egypt mentioned in
1Ki 11:19.
The same as Daphne, near Pelusium, a royal residence of the Pharaohs
(Jer 43:7, 9).
Called Hanes
(Isa 30:4).
break . . . the yokes of Egypt--that is, the tyrannical supremacy which she exercised over other nations. Compare "bands of their yoke"
(Eze 34:7).
a cloud--namely, of calamity.

无标题
20. 此处开始的较早异象,距离第二十九章的异象不久,约在耶路撒冷(Jerusalem)被攻取之前三个月,论及法老和他的国。
英文原文
20. Here begins the earlier vision, not long after that in the twenty-ninth chapter, about three months before the taking of Jerusalem, as to Pharaoh and his kingdom.
21
无标题
21. 打折……法老的膀臂——
(Ps 37:17; Jer 48:25)。
指法老合弗拉(Pharaoh-hophra)试图解耶路撒冷(Jerusalem)之围时,被迦勒底人(Chaldeans)击败的事
(Jer 37:5, 7); 也在法老尼哥(Pharaoh-necho)失去自埃及河(Egypt)到伯拉河(Euphrates)一切征服之地以前
(2Ki 24:7; Jer 46:2); 也指埃及在古利奈(Cyrene)的灾难。
英文原文
21. broken . . . arm of Pharaoh--
(Ps 37:17; Jer 48:25).
Referring to the defeat which Pharaoh-hophra sustained from the Chaldeans, when trying to raise the siege of Jerusalem
(Jer 37:5, 7);
and previous to the deprivation of Pharaoh-necho of all his conquests from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates
(2Ki 24:7; Jer 46:2);
also to the Egyptian disaster in Cyrene.
22
无标题
22. 膀臂——不仅已经折断的“一臂”
(Eze 30:21)
不得医治,连另外两臂也要折断。所指并非肉身的伤,而是法老权势的折断。
使……刀剑从……手中落下——剥夺他作战的资源。
英文原文
22. arms--Not only the "one arm" broken already
(Eze 30:21)
was not to be healed, but the other two should be broken. Not a corporal wound, but a breaking of the power of Pharaoh is intended.
cause . . . sword to fall out of . . . hand--deprive him of the resources of making war.
Eze 30:1-26。
针对埃及之预言的延续。
两段不同的信息:(1) 在
Eze 30:1-19,
是
Eze 29:1-16
的重述,细节更为生动具体。其日期大概不迟于
Eze 29:17
所记之后多久,即在尼布甲尼撒征服推罗之后、出征埃及的前夕。(2) 一段直接关乎法老及其王国倾覆的异象;传递的日期较早,为第十一年正月初七日。距
Eze 29:1
所记之日不出一年,比尼布甲尼撒攻取耶路撒冷早三个月。
