以西結書 21
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 人子，你轉面向耶路撒冷，發言攻斥聖所，講預言攻斥以色列地域，
O son of humankind set face your against Jerusalem and prophesy against sanctuaries and prophesy against [the] land of Israel.
3 向以色列地域說：吾主上主這樣說：看，我要攻擊你，我要拔劍出鞘，剷除你境內的義人和惡人，
And you will say to [the] land of Israel thus he says Yahweh here I [am] against you and I will bring out sword my from sheath its and I will cut off from you [the] righteous and [the] wicked.
4 因為我要剷除你境內的義人和惡人，為此，我的劍從鞘內抽出，攻擊由南至北一切有血肉的人；
Because that I have cut off from you [the] righteous and [the] wicked therefore it will go forth sword my from sheath its against all flesh from [the] south [the] north.
5 這樣，凡有血肉的人都知道：是我，上主拔劍出鞘，決不再放回。
And they will know all flesh that I Yahweh I have brought out sword my from sheath its not it will go back again.
6 人子，你應哀歎! 應在他們眼前傷心痛苦哀歎。
And you O son of humankind groan with breaking of loins and with bitterness you will groan to eyes their.
7 假使有人問你說：你為什麼哀歎﹖你就說：是為了一個凶信，當這事來到，所有的心靈必要沮喪，手臂必要無力，精神必要頹唐，膝蓋必要軟弱如水。看，災禍來到時，必將如此──吾主上主的斷語。」
And it will be that they will say to you concerning what? [are] you groaning and you will say because of a report that [it is] coming and it will melt every heart and they will hang limp every pair of hands and it will grow faint every spirit and all knees they will go water there! [it is] coming and it will happen [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
8 上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
9 人子，講預言罷! 吾主這樣說：你要說：有一把劍：是一把磨快而擦亮的劍。
O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord say a sword a sword it has been sharpened and also [is] polished.
10 磨快了，是為大屠殺；擦亮了，是為閃爍發光。
So as to slaughter a slaughter it has been sharpened so as be for it lightning it has been polished or we will rejoice [the] scepter of son my [is] rejecting every tree.
11 把它拿去擦亮，好握在掌中；這把磨快的劍，這把擦亮的劍，是為交在屠殺者的手中。
And someone gave it to polish [it] to grasp [it] in the palm it it has been sharpened a sword and it it has been polished to put it in [the] hand of [one who] slays.
12 人子，你要哀號痛哭，因為劍擊在我百姓身上，砍在以色列的一切首領身上。他們同我的百姓都喪身刀下。為此你應擊股示哀，
Cry out and wail O son of humankind for it it has come on people my it [is] on all [the] princes of Israel thrown to [the] sword they have been with people my therefore slap a thigh.
13 因為已試過一次，這要怎麼辦﹖它連權杖都輕視了，以致不叫它存在──吾主上主的斷語──
For it has been tested and what? if also a scepter rejecting not it will be [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
14 人子，你講預言，且鼓掌罷! 那劍將是雙刃的，是屠殺的劍；那把大屠殺的劍向他們揮起，
And you O son of humankind prophesy and strike palm to palm so it may be doubled a sword a third a sword of [those] slain it [is] a sword of [the] slain great which surrounds them.
15 叫他們膽顫心驚，死亡的人加多。我將屠殺的劍尖指向他們所有的門戶上：劍擦亮了，是為閃爍；磨快了，是為屠殺。
So as - to melt a heart and [may be] many the stumblings at all gates their I have set a slaughter of a sword alas! made for lightning wrapped for slaughtering.
16 你的刀鋒無論轉向何方，或向左，或向右，都應是鋒利的。
Be sharp go to [the] right cause to set go to [the] left where? [is] face your set.
17 我也要親自鼓掌，以平息我的憤怒：這是我上主說的。」
And also I I will strike palm my to palm my and I will give rest to rage my I Yahweh I have spoken.
18 上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
19 人子，你應劃出兩條路，叫巴比倫王的劍沿路而來。這兩條路應由一地出發；又劃出一隻手，置於通往城市的道路起點。
And you O son of humankind make for yourself - two roads to come [the] sword of [the] king of Babylon from a land one they will go out both of them and a monument make at [the] beginning of [the] road of a city make [it].
20 你所劃的路，一條使劍至阿孟子民的辣巴特；一條使劍至猶大的堅城耶路撒冷。
A road you will make to come a sword Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and Judah in Jerusalem fortified.
21 因為巴比倫王站在岔路上，在兩條路口上占卜、搖籤、求問「忒辣芬，」窺察牲肝。
For he has stopped [the] king of Babylon to [the] mother of the road at [the] beginning of [the] two the roads to divine divination he has shaken the arrows he has enquired by the teraphim he has looked at the liver.
22 在他右手中出現了指向耶路撒冷的籤，他便下令屠殺，吶喊衝鋒，架起攻城門機，堆起高台，建造雲梯。
In right [hand] his it was - the divination Jerusalem to set up battering-rams to open a mouth for shattering to raise a sound with a war cry to set up battering-rams on [the] gates to pour out a mound to build a siege-wall.
23 可是在曾經發過誓願的以色列子民看來，那籤是假的。但他卻想起了他們的罪過，為使他們俯首就擒。
And it will be to them (as divines *Q(k)*) falsehood in view their oaths of oaths [belong] to them and it [will] bring to remembrance iniquity to be seized.
24 為此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們顯露了你們的過犯，在你們的行為上，現出你們的惡行，使我想起了你們的罪惡；你們既然使我想起你們的罪惡，你們必在他們手中俯首就擒。
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because brought to remembrance you iniquity your because were uncovered transgressions your to be seen sins your in all practices your because have been remembered you by the hand you will be seized.
25 你這無恥而萬惡的以色列首領，你的日子到了，犯罪的時候完了。
And you O profane [one] wicked prince of Israel whom it has come day his at a time of punishment of [the] end.
26 吾主上主這樣說：取下頭巾，摘去冠冕，一切都要轉變：卑下的要高陞，崇高的要降低。
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to remove the turban and to lift off the crown this not this the lowly exalt and the exalted to bring low.
27 我必要使他的國澈底滅亡，再也不能存在，直到那掌權者來到，我再交給他。」「
A ruin a ruin a ruin I will make it also this not it will be until comes [the one] whom [belongs] to him the judgment and I will give it.
28 人子，你應講預言說，吾主上主這樣攻斥阿孟子民和他們的侮辱說：你要說：有一把劍，拔出是為屠殺，磨快是為毀滅，擦亮是為閃爍──
And you O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh concerning [the] people of Ammon and concerning reproach their and you will say a sword a sword [is] drawn for slaughter [is] polished to contain on account of lightning.
29 那時人所給予你的，是虛假的異像，欺騙的占卜──是為砍在作惡犯罪者的脖子上，他們的日子到了，犯罪的時候完了。
When see for you falsehood when divine for you falsehood to give you to [the] necks of [those] profaned of wicked [people] whom it has come day their at a time of punishment of [the] end.
30 把劍插入鞘內，我要在你受造之地，在你生長之地裁判你。
Put back into sheath its in [the] place where you were created in [the] land of origins your I will judge you.
31 我要在你身上發洩我的怒氣，在你身上點起我的怒火，將你交在善於破壞的野蠻人手中。
And I will pour out on you indignation my with [the] fire of wrath my I will blow on you and I will give you in [the] hand of men brutish craftsmen of destruction.
32 你要成為烈火的燃料；你的血要傾流在國中，以後再沒有人記念你，因為我上主說了。」
For the fire you will become fuel blood your it will be in [the] midst of the land not you will be remembered for I Yahweh I have spoken.
