エジプトについての預言
19 これは、エジプトについての神のことばです。
「見よ。わたしは速い雲に乗ってエジプトへ向かう。
エジプトの偶像は身震いし、
エジプト人は恐ろしさのあまり意気消沈する。
2 わたしが同士討ちをさせるので、兄弟は兄弟と、
隣人は隣人と、町は町と、州は州と争う。
3 知恵ある助言者も、
どうしたらよいかわからず途方にくれ、
あげくの果てに、偶像に助けを求め、
霊媒や魔術師や魔女に伺いを立てる。
4 「わたしはエジプトを、過酷な支配者に
引き渡す」と全能の主は告げます。
5 ナイル川の水は、いつものようにあふれて
土地をうるおすこともなく、水路は干上がり、
6 運河は水草が腐って悪臭を放ちます。
7 川沿いの緑の草々は枯れ、風に吹き飛ばされます。
あらゆる作物が立ち枯れ、死に絶えるのです。
8 漁師は仕事がなくて嘆き、
釣り師や網を打つ者は一人残らず解雇されます。
9 機を織る者は、亜麻や綿が手に入りません。
10 織工も労働者も大きな打撃に心を痛めます。
11 ツォアン（エジプト北東部の有力都市）の助言者は、
なんという愚か者でしょう。
エジプトの王に進言する策さえ、全く愚かなものです。
それでも、知識をひけらかすことができるのでしょうか。
王の前で、学者の家柄を誇らしげに言えるでしょうか。
12 エジプト王よ、あなたの知恵袋と呼ばれた賢者は、
どうしたのですか。あの知恵はどこへ行ったのですか。
彼らに知恵があるというなら、
主がエジプトに何をしようとしているかを、
彼らから聞けばよいのです。
13 ツォアンの博学者たちは頼りにならず、
メンピス（エジプト古王国時代の首都）の知識人たちも、すっかり惑わされています。
なるほど、彼らはあなたにとって
最高の策略家でしょう。
しかし、その浅はかな進言によって、
エジプトは滅んだのです。
14 主が正しく判断できないようにさせたので、
彼らは見当はずれのことばかり言います。
それを聞くエジプトは、
飲んだくれのようにふらつきながら歩きます。
15 どんなものも、エジプトを救えません。
エジプトに正しい道を示すことのできる者は、
誰ひとりいません。
16 その日、エジプト人は女のように弱くなり、振り上げられた神のこぶしを見て、恐れおののきます。 17 イスラエルの名を耳にしただけでおびえます。それというのも、全能の主の計画が知らされたからです。
18 その時、エジプトの五つの都市が全能の主に忠誠を誓い、ヘブル語を話すようになります。その一つはヘリオポリス（「太陽の都」の意）と呼ばれます。 19 その時代には、主の祭壇がエジプトの中心地に設けられ、国境には主の記念碑が立てられて、 20 主への忠誠のしるしとなります。彼らが迫害の中で助けを呼び求めると、主は救い主を送ります。この方が彼らを救い出すのです。
21 その日、主はエジプト人にご自分を示します。彼らは主を知り、誓願のためのいけにえと供え物をささげ、神との約束を守るようになります。 22 主はエジプトを打ちのめしたあとで、もう一度建て直すのです。エジプト人が素直に主を信じるので、願いを聞き入れ、すべてを元どおりにします。
23 その日、エジプトとアッシリヤは街道で結ばれて自由に行き来し、共に同じ神を拝むようになります。
24 イスラエルはこの両国と同盟を結び、三つの国が団結します。そしてイスラエルは、両国にとって祝福となるのです。 25 イスラエルとの親交によって、エジプトとアッシリヤも祝福します。主は彼らに言います。「わたしの民エジプトに祝福あれ。わたしの造った国アッシリヤに祝福あれ。わたしのものであるイスラエルに祝福あれ。」

A Prophecy Against Egypt
19 A prophecy(A) against Egypt:(B)
See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud(C)
and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians melt(D) with fear.
2 “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,(E)
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.(F)
3 The Egyptians will lose heart,(G)
and I will bring their plans(H) to nothing;(I)
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
the mediums and the spiritists.(J)
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king(K) will rule over them,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
5 The waters of the river will dry up,(L)
and the riverbed will be parched and dry.(M)
6 The canals will stink;(N)
the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.(O)
The reeds(P) and rushes will wither,(Q)
7 also the plants(R) along the Nile,
at the mouth of the river.
Every sown field(S) along the Nile
will become parched, will blow away and be no more.(T)
8 The fishermen(U) will groan and lament,
all who cast hooks(V) into the Nile;
those who throw nets on the water
will pine away.
9 Those who work with combed flax(W) will despair,
the weavers of fine linen(X) will lose hope.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected,
and all the wage earners will be sick at heart.
11 The officials of Zoan(Y) are nothing but fools;
the wise counselors(Z) of Pharaoh give senseless advice.(AA)
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise men,(AB)
a disciple of the ancient kings”?
12 Where are your wise men(AC) now?
Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
has planned(AD) against Egypt.
13 The officials of Zoan(AE) have become fools,
the leaders of Memphis(AF) are deceived;
the cornerstones(AG) of her peoples
have led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has poured into them
a spirit of dizziness;(AH)
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
as a drunkard staggers(AI) around in his vomit.
15 There is nothing Egypt can do—
head or tail, palm branch or reed.(AJ)
16 In that day(AK) the Egyptians will become weaklings.(AL) They will shudder with fear(AM) at the uplifted hand(AN) that the Lord Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified,(AO) because of what the Lord Almighty is planning(AP) against them.
18 In that day(AQ) five cities(AR) in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance(AS) to the Lord Almighty. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.[a](AT)
19 In that day(AU) there will be an altar(AV) to the Lord in the heart of Egypt,(AW) and a monument(AX) to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness(AY) to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior(AZ) and defender, and he will rescue(BA) them. 21 So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge(BB) the Lord. They will worship(BC) with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.(BD) 22 The Lord will strike(BE) Egypt with a plague;(BF) he will strike them and heal them. They will turn(BG) to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal(BH) them.
23 In that day(BI) there will be a highway(BJ) from Egypt to Assyria.(BK) The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship(BL) together. 24 In that day(BM) Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria,(BN) a blessing[b](BO) on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless(BP) them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people,(BQ) Assyria my handiwork,(BR) and Israel my inheritance.(BS)”

Isaiah 19
King James Version
19 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it.
22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
