以西結書 22
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 人子，你應開庭裁判這座流人血的城，叫她知道自己的醜惡。
Punish, punish, son of man, the city of blood, and show her all her abominations, and say,
3 你應說：吾主上主這樣說：那流人血，使時辰迫近，製造偶像，自染不潔的城，是有禍的!
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and makest idols to defile thyself!
4 因你傾流人血，自負血債；因你製造偶像，自染不潔，致使你的日子已近，你的年限已到；為此，我要使你成為萬民所侮辱，萬邦所恥笑的對象。
Through the blood which thou sheddest thou bringest guilt upon thyself, and through the idols which thou makest thou pollutest thyself, and thou causest thy days to draw near, and comest to thy years. Therefore do I make thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all countries.
5 那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee as infamous, full of confusion.
6 看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。
Behold the princes of Israel are engaged every one according to his strength within thee to shed blood.
7 在你中間有人輕視父母，在你中間有人壓迫外方人，在你中間也有人欺壓孤兒寡婦。
In thee they set light by father and mother; in thee are they guilty of oppression to the stranger; in thee do they oppress the fatherless and the widow.
8 你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
Thou hast despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 在你中間有人誹謗，好傾流人血。在你中間有人到山上吃祭物，在你中間有人行淫亂。
In thee are men who carry tales, that they may shed blood; in thee do they eat upon the mountains; in the midst of thee do they commit lewdness.
10 在你中間有人揭開父親的下體，在你中間有人玷污行經不潔的婦女。
In thee doth the son uncover the father's nakedness; in thee do they lie with a woman in her uncleanness.
11 在你中間有人同鄰人的妻子行醜惡之事，有人姦污自己的兒媳，有人玷辱自己的姊妹，即父親的女兒。
And one committeth abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another, with incestuous lewdness, defileth his daughter-in-law; and in thee another lieth with his sister, his father's daughter.
12 在你中間有人接受賄賂，以傾流人血。你收息金，放重利，用強力剝削你的近人，而你竟忘了我──吾主上主的斷語──
In thee do they take a reward to shed blood. Thou takest usury and increase, and thou hast enriched thyself from thy neighbor by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
13 看，對對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。
Therefore, behold, I have smitten my hands together at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at the blood which hath been shed in the midst of thee.
14 在我與你算賬的那天，難道你的心還能忍受，你的手還能堅強﹖我，上主言出必行。
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the day when I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 我要將你驅逐在異民中，將你散佈在各地，消除你的污穢。
I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thine impurity out of thee;
16 以後在異民眼前，我必再使你做我的產業：如此你要承認我是上主。」
and thou shalt through thyself be profaned before the eyes of the nations, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
17 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 人子，以色列家族對我好像是渣滓，他們成了爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鋁，他們都成了銀渣。
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me; all of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 因此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們都成了渣滓，為此，看，我必將你們聚集在耶路撒冷，
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all of you become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 就如把銀、銅、鐵、鉛和錫聚集在煉爐中，在上面吹火，使它們鎔化；照樣，我也要把你們聚集在我的怒火和憤恨中，將你們拋在裏面鎔化。
As men gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will place you there and melt you.
21 我要聚集你們，在你們身上吹起我的怒火，使你們鎔化在耶路撒冷；
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 就像銀子在煉爐中鎔化，你們也照樣在城中鎔化：如此，你們就承認我是上主，是我在你們身上發洩了怒火。」
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my fury upon you.
23 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 人子，你應對此城說：你是一塊在震怒之日無雨無水之地。
Son of man, say to her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 城中的王侯像司裂獵物的吼獅，他們吞噬人民，搶奪財物和珍寶，增加了城中的寡婦。
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her; like a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour the lives of men; they take possession of treasures, and precious things, and make many widows in the midst of her.
26 城中司祭違犯我的法律，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖與俗，不辨明潔與不潔，且掩目不顧我的安息日，致使我在他們中蒙受褻瀆。
Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and profane, and show not the difference between the clean and the unclean; and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 城中的首長像撕裂獵物的豺狼，傾流人血，殺害人命，以圖謀不義之財。
Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey. They shed blood, they destroy life, that they may get gain.
28 城中的先知還為他們掩飾罪過，所見的都是假異象，所說的都是欺詐的預言。他們說：吾主上主這樣說，其實上主並沒有說。
Her prophets daub for them with untempered mortar, seeing falsehood, and divining to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord Jehovah,” when Jehovah hath not spoken.
29 本地的人民蠻橫強暴，劫奪搶掠，欺壓窮苦貧困的人，迫害外方人，無法無天。
The people of the land are guilty of oppression, and practise robbery, and distress the poor and needy; yea, they oppress the stranger, and have no justice.
30 我在他們中找尋一個能修理城牆的人，能在我面前為保護本地，站在缺口處，免得我去破壞那地方的人；但我沒找到一個。
I have sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none.
31 為此，我向他們發洩我的怒氣，用我的怒火消滅他們，把他們的行為報復在他們頭上──吾主上主的斷語。
Therefore will I pour out my indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of my wrath; I will bring their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
