以西結書 25
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
2 人子，你面向阿孟子民，講預言攻擊他們，
Sonne of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophecie against them,
3 向阿孟子民說：你們聽吾主上主的話! 吾主上主這樣說：因為你譏笑我的聖殿說：『哈哈! 聖殿可受了褻瀆! 』對以色列地域說：『它可荒蕪了! 』對猶大家族說：『他們可被擄去了! 』
And say vnto the Ammonites, Heare the word of the Lord God, Thus saith the Lord God, Because thou saydest, Ha, ha, against my Sanctuarie, when it was polluted, and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate, and against the house of Iudah, when they went into captiuitie,
4 為此，看，我要將你交給東方的子民作為產業，他們要在你那裏設立自己的帳幕，在那裏定居，吃你的果實，喝你的奶。
Beholde, therefore I will deliuer thee to the men of the East for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eate thy fruite, and they shall drinke thy milke.
5 我要使辣巴成為牧放駱駝之地，使阿孟人的地方成為羊棧；如此你們必承認我是上主。
And I will make Rabbah a dwelling place for camels, and the Ammonites a sheepecote, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
6 因為吾主上主這樣說：因為你們對以色列地方所遭受的一切，曾手舞足蹈，滿心喜歡；
For thus saith the Lord God, Because thou hast clapped the hands, and stamped with the feete, and reioyced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel,
7 因此，看，我要伸手打擊你，將你交給異族作為掠物；我要從人民中剷除你，由各國中消滅你；我要使你滅絕；如此，你必承認我是上主。」
Beholde, therefore I will stretche out mine hand vpon thee, and will deliuer thee to be spoyled of the heathen, and I will roote thee out from the people, and I will cause thee to be destroyed out of the countreys, and I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
8 吾主上主這樣說：「因為摩阿布【和色依爾】說：看猶大家族與所有異民並無不同!
Thus saith the Lord God, Because that Moab and Seir doe say, Beholde, the house of Iudah is like vnto all the heathen,
9 為此，看，我要暴露摩阿布的山區，以及她邊垂的城池，暴露她全國的精華，如貝特耶史摩特，巴耳默紅和克黎雅塔殷。
Therefore, beholde, I will open the side of Moab, euen of the cities of his cities, I say, in his frontiers with the pleasant countrey, Beth-ieshimoth, Baal-meon, and Karia-thaim.
10 我要將他們同阿孟子民一起交給東方的子民作為產業，使他們在異民中再不被人提及。
I will call the men of the East against the Ammonites, and will giue them in possession, so that the Ammonites shall no more be remembred among the nations,
11 我要向摩阿布施行懲罰：如此，他們必承認我是上主。」
And I will execute iudgements vpon Moab, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
12 吾主上主這樣說：「因為厄東曾對猶大家族復仇雪恥，因對他們復仇而犯了重罪；
Thus sayth the Lord God, Because that Edom hath done euill by taking vengeance vpon the house of Iudah, and hath committed great offence, and reuenged himselfe vpon them,
13 為此，吾主上主這樣說：我要伸手打擊厄東，將人與走獸由境內剷除，使她成為曠野，從特曼到德丹的人都要死於刀下。
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, I will also stretch out mine hand vpon Edom, and destroy man and beast out of it, and I will make it desolate from Teman, and they of Dedan shall fall by the sworde.
14 我要藉我的百姓以色列的手替我報復厄東，他們要按我的怒氣和憤恨對待厄東，如此他們便知道這是我的報復──吾主上主的斷語。」
And I will execute my vengeance vpon Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall doe in Edom according to mine anger, and according to mine indignation, and they shall know my vengeance, sayth the Lord God.
15 吾主上主這樣說：「因為培肋舍特人以極殘忍的報復心來施行報復，為了他們的世仇，企圖消滅以色列；
Thus sayth the Lord God, Because the Philistims haue executed vengeance, and reuenged themselues with a despitefull heart, to destroy it for the olde hatred,
16 為此吾主上主這樣說：我要伸手打擊培肋舍特人，剷除革勒提人，毀滅殘留在海濱的人。
Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I will stretche out mine hand vpon the Philistims, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 我要在他們身上以盛怒的懲罰施行嚴厲的報復；當我在他們身上施行報復時，他們便承認我是上主。」
And I will execute great vengeance vpon them with rebukes of mine indignation, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance vpon them.
