以西結書 20
1 七年五月十日，有些以色列長老前來求問上主，他們坐在我面前。
And it was - in the year seventh in the fifth [month] on the ten of the month they came men from [the] elders of Israel to consult Yahweh and they sat down before me.
2 上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
3 人子，你要向以色列長老發言，對他們說：吾主上主這樣說：你們是為求問我而來的嗎﹖我指著我的生命起誓：我決不讓你們求問──吾主上主的斷語──
O son of humankind speak with [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ to consult me [are] you coming [by] [the] life of me if I will let myself be consulted by you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
4 人子，你應開庭審問他們，叫他們知道他們祖先的醜惡。
¿ Will you judge them ¿ will you judge O son of humankind [the] abominations of ancestors their make known to them.
5 你向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：在我揀選以色列之日，便向雅各伯的後裔舉手起誓，並在埃及地顯示給他們，向他們舉手起誓說：我是上主，你們的天主。
And you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day chose I Israel and I lifted up hand my to [the] offspring of [the] house of Jacob and I made myself known to them in [the] land of Egypt and I lifted up hand my to them saying I [am] Yahweh God your.
6 在那一天，我曾向他們舉手起誓，要領他們出離埃及地，到我早給他們揀選的流奶流蜜的地方去，那是普世最肥美的地方。
On the day that I lifted up hand my to them to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt to a land which I had selected for them flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.
7 那時我向他們說：你們每人都該拋棄自己最喜愛的偶像，不要為埃及的神像所玷污：我是上主，你們的天主；
And I said to them everyone [the] detestable things of eyes his throw away and by [the] idols of Egypt may not you make yourselves unclean I [am] Yahweh God your.
8 但他們竟背棄我，不肯聽從我，沒有人拋棄自己所喜愛的偶像，也沒有人丟開埃及的神像。那時我本想在他們身上發洩我的憤怒，在埃及地域向他們盡洩我的怒氣。
And they rebelled against me and not they were willing to listen to me anyone [the] detestable things of eyes their not they threw away and [the] idols of Egypt not they forsook and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in [the] midst of [the] land of Egypt.
9 然而我為了我的名沒有這樣作，免得我的名在異民眼前，即在他們居留的地方，受到褻瀆，因為我曾在他們眼前顯示給他們，要領我的百姓離開埃及地。
And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which they [were] in midst of them which I had made myself known to them to eyes their by bringing out them from [the] land of Egypt.
10 我引他們離開埃及地，領他們到了曠野，
And I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and I brought them into the wilderness.
11 給他們頒佈了我的誡命，給他們啟示了我的法律：凡遵守那些法律的，便可賴以生存。
And I gave to them statutes my and judgments my I made known to them which he will do them the person and he will live by them.
12 我還給他們規定了我的安息日，作為我與他們中間的記號，為承認我就是祝聖他們的上主。
And also sabbaths my I gave to them to become a sign between me and between them to know that I [am] Yahweh [who] sanctified them.
13 但是以色列家族在曠野中背棄了我，沒有奉行我的法度，輕視了我的法律，即遵行的人可賴以生存的法律，並對我的安息日大加褻瀆；那時我本想在他們身上發洩我的憤怒，在曠野中消滅他們。
And they rebelled against me [the] house of Israel in the wilderness in statutes my not they walked and judgments my they rejected which he will do them the person and he will live by them and sabbaths my they profaned exceedingly and I said to pour out rage my on them in the wilderness to make an end of them.
14 然而我為了我的名，沒有這樣作，免得我的名在異民前受褻瀆，因為我曾在異民眼前將他們引領出來。
And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I had brought out them to eyes their.
15 甚至在曠野中我也親自向他們舉手起過誓，不再領他們進入我曾賜給他們那流奶流蜜之地，即普世最肥美的地方；
And also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to not to bring them into the land which I had given flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.
16 因為他們拋棄了我的法律，沒有奉行我的法度，並且褻瀆了我的安息日，因為他們的心隨從了他們的偶像；
Because judgments my they had rejected and statutes my not they had walked in them and sabbaths my they had profaned for after idols their heart their [was] walking.
17 但是我的眼睛還憐視了他們，沒有擊殺他們，也沒有在曠也中消滅他們。
And it looked with compassion eye my on them from destroying them and not I made them complete destruction in the wilderness.
18 以後，我在曠野中向他們的後代說：你們不要追隨你們祖先的習慣，不要遵行他們的慣例，也不要為他們的偶像所玷污。
And I said to children their in the wilderness in [the] statutes of ancestors your may not you walk and judgments their may not you keep and by idols their may not you make yourselves unclean.
19 我是上主你們的天主；你們應奉行我的法度，謹守我的法律，要一一履行；
I [am] Yahweh God your in statutes my walk and judgments my keep and do them.
20 要聖化我的安息日，作為我與你們之間的記號，承認我是上主，你們的天主。
And sabbaths my keep holy and they will become a sign between me and between you to know that I [am] Yahweh God your.
21 然而他們的後代也背棄了我，沒有奉行我的法度，也沒有遵守我的法律，即遵行的人可賴以生存的法律，並且也褻瀆了我的安息日。我本想在他們身上發洩我的憤怒，在曠野中盡洩我的怒氣，
And they rebelled against me the children in statutes my not they walked and judgments my not they kept to observe them which he will do them the person and he will live by them sabbaths my they profaned and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in the wilderness.
22 但是為了我的名我縮回了手，沒有那樣作，免得我的名在異民前受到褻瀆，因為我剛由他們面前將他們領出來。
And I turned back hand my and I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I brought out them to eyes their.
23 並且在曠野中我也親自向他們舉手起過誓，要將他們分散在異民中，將他們放逐在各國中；
Also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them among the lands.
24 因為他們沒有遵行我的法律，且輕視了我的法度，褻瀆了我的安息日，他們的眼目轉向了他們的祖先的偶像。
Because judgments my not they had done and statutes my they had rejected and sabbaths my they had profaned and after [the] idols of parents their they had been eyes their.
25 為此，我容許他們有不良的法度，和不能賴以生存的法律；
And also I I gave to them statutes not good and judgments [which] not they will live by them.
26 並使他們因自己的祭獻成為不潔，讓他們將頭胎所生的，予以焚化祭祀，為使他們滅絕；如此，他們要承認我是上主。
And I made unclean them by gifts their when made pass through every firstborn of a womb so that I may make appalled them so that this they may know that I [am] Yahweh.
27 人子，為此你應告訴以色列家族，向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：你們的祖先，連在這事上也褻瀆了我，對我背信違約：
Therefore speak to [the] house of Israel O son of humankind and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this they blasphemed me ancestors your when acted unfaithfully they against me unfaithfulness.
28 當我引領他們進入曾向他舉手誓許要賜給他們的地域時，他們無論看見那一座高丘，那一棵密茂的樹木，就在那裏祭殺犧牲，在那裏獻上甘飴的馨香，並在那裏行奠酒禮。
And I brought them into the land which I had lifted up hand my to give it to them and they saw every hill high and every tree leafy and they sacrificed there sacrifices their and they presented there [the] provocation of offering their and they made there [the] odor of soothing their and they poured out there drink offerings their.
29 我曾向他們說：「高丘」算是什麼﹖你們竟往那裏去；直到今日人還叫那地方為「巴瑪。」
And I said to them what? [is] the high place where you [are] the [ones who] go there and it has been called name its Bamah until the day this.
30 為此你要告訴以色列家族：吾主上主這樣說：你們仍追隨你們祖先的行徑而玷污自己，仍同他們的邪神犯姦淫；
Therefore say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ in [the] way? of ancestors your [are] you making yourselves unclean and after detestable things their [are] you? acting as prostitutes.
31 你們仍奉獻供物，火化你們的子女，為了你們的一切偶，像使自己受玷污直到今日。以色列家族，我還能讓你們求我嗎﹖我指著我的生命起誓：──吾主上主的斷語──我決不讓你們求問。
And when lift up gifts your when make pass children your in the fire you [are] making yourselves unclean to all idols your until this day and I will I let myself be consulted? by you O house of Israel [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if I will let myself be consulted by you.
32 你們幻想說：我們要像異民，像各地的的人民一樣敬拜木石，你們心中所想的決不能成功!
And the [thing which] comes up on spirit your certainly not it will happen [that] which - you [are] saying we will be like the nations like [the] clans of the lands to serve wood and stone.
33 我指著我的生命起誓：──吾主上主的斷語──我必以強力的手，伸出的臂，暴發怒氣，統治你們。
[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out I will reign over you.
34 我必以強力的手，伸出的臂，暴發的怒氣，把你們由萬民中領出，由你們所散居的各地聚集起來；
And I will bring out you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out.
35 把你們引領到異民的曠野中，在那裏面對面地懲罰你們。
And I will bring you into [the] wilderness of the peoples and I will enter into judgment with you there face to face.
36 我怎樣在埃及地的曠野中，懲罰了你們的祖先，也怎樣懲罰你們──吾主上主的斷語──
Just as I entered into judgment with ancestors your in [the] wilderness of [the] land of Egypt so I will enter into judgment with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
37 我要使你們在我的杖下經過，引你們受盟約的束縛。
And I will make pass you under the rod and I will bring you in [the] bond of the covenant.
38 我要從你們中分別出那些反叛和背棄我的人，我也要將他們由流徙之地領出，但是他們卻不得進入以色列地域；如此你們必承認我是上主。
And I will purge from you those [who] rebel and those [who] transgress against me from [the] land of sojournings their I will bring out them and into [the] land of Israel not he will go and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
39 你們以色列家族，吾主上主這樣說：你們每人去崇拜自己的偶像罷! 可是你們終於要聽從我，不再以你們的祭獻和偶像來褻瀆我的聖名，
And you O house of Israel thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh everyone idols his go serve and after if not you [will be] listening to me and [the] name of holiness my not you will profane again by gifts your and by idols your.
40 因為在我的聖山上，在以色列的高山上──吾主上主的斷語──凡住在本地的以色列家族，都要在那裏事奉我。我要在那裏悅納你們，在那裏等待你們的祭品，和你們一切聖物中最優美的祭物。
For on [the] mountain of holiness my on [the] mountain of - [the] height of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh there they will serve me all [the] house of Israel all of it in the land there I will accept them and there I will seek contributions your and [the] choicest of gifts your with all holy things your.
41 當我把你們由異民中領出來，由你們所散居的各地聚集起來時，我要悅納你們，好像甘飴的馨香；如此，藉著你們，我在異民眼前顯為神聖。
An odor of soothing I will accept you when bring out I you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will show myself holy among you to [the] eyes of the nations.
42 當我引領你們進入以色列地域時，即我舉手起誓要賜給你們祖先的那地方時，你們必承認我是上主。
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when bring I you into [the] land of Israel into the land which I lifted up hand my to give it to ancestors your.
43 在那裏你們記起你們的行為，及所有玷污自己的行事，你們自己對所作的一切醜惡，也必感到厭惡。
And you will remember there ways your and all practices your which you have made yourselves unclean by them and you will loathe faces your for all wicked deeds your which you have done.
44 以色列家族，為了我的名，我沒有照你們的惡行和敗壞的行為對待你們：如此，你們該承認我是上主──吾主上主的斷語。』
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when do I with you for [the] sake of name my not according to ways your wicked and according to practices your corrupt O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
45 上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
46 人子，你轉面向南，向南方發言，講預言攻斥乃革布地方的樹林，
O son of humankind set face your [the] direction south-ward and prophesy against [the] south and prophesy against [the] forest of the field [the] south.
47 向乃革布的樹林說：你聽上主的話罷! 吾主上主這樣說：看，我要在你那裏點火，燒盡你那裏所有的綠樹和枯木；燃起的火燄決不熄滅，必由南方到北方燒盡一切。
And you will say to [the] forest of the south hear [the] word of Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to kindle in you - a fire and it will consume in you every tree moist and every tree dry not it will be extinguished [the] flame of flame and they will be scorched by it all faces from [the] south [the] north towards.
48 凡有血肉的人都看到這火是我上主點燃的，決不能撲滅。」
And they will see all flesh that I Yahweh I have kindled it not it will be extinguished.
49 我遂喊說：「哎，吾主上主啊! 他們評論我說：這人只會說寓言! 」
And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh they [are] saying of me ¿ not making a parable parables [is] he.
