< 以西結書 25 >

1 上主的話傳給我說:「
The word of YHWH came again unto me, saying,
2 人子,你面向阿孟子民,講預言攻擊他們,
Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy 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 unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Sovereign YHWH; Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
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。
Behold, therefore I will deliver 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 eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
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 stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am YHWH.
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 Sovereign YHWH; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced 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。」
Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am YHWH.
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 Sovereign YHWH; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto 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, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
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。
Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered 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 judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
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 saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon 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 Sovereign YHWH; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
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 lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
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 saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old 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 saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, 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 upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
