以西結書 25
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of Yahweh came 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 sons of Ammon, — 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! 』
So then thou shalt say to the sons of Ammon, Hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh: Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh: Because thou saidst Aha! Against my sanctuary when it was profaned. And against the soil of Israel when it was laid waste, And against the house of Judah when they went into exile.
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。
Therefore, behold me! delivering thee up to the Sons of the East for a possession And they shall set their encampments in thee, And place in thee their habitations, They, shall eat thy fruits, 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 of Rabbah a home for camels, And the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 My Lord Yahweh, Because thou didst clap thy hands and stamp with thy foot, —and didst rejoice with all thy contempt in thy soul, against the soil 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。」
Therefore behold me! I have stretched out my hand over thee And will deliver thee for a prey to the nations, And will cut thee off from among the peoples, And will cause thee to perish from among the lands, — I will destroy thee, So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 My Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Lo! like all the nations, is the house of Judah.
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 me! laying open the side of Moab out of the cities, Out of his cities on his frontiers, The beauty of the land of 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。
To the Sons of the East [when they come] against the sons of Ammon, and I will deliver it up for possession, -to the end the sons of Ammon 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。」
Also upon Moab, will I execute judgments, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh.
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 My Lord. Yahweh, Because of what Edom hath done, in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, so that they have become guilty again and again and have taken vengeance 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 My Lord Yahweh, I will therefore stretch forth my hand over Edom, and will cut off therefrom man and beast, And will deliver it up as a desolation, from Teman, And they of Dedan, by the sword, shall fall,
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 put forth mine avenging against Edom, by the hand of my people Israel, And they shall deal with Edom, according to mine anger and according to mine indignation, - So shall they know mine avenging, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh,
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 My Lord Yahweh, Because of what the Philistines have done by way of vengeance, - In that they have taken vengeance with contempt in the soul, to destroy, with the enmity of age-past times.
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 My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! stretching forth my hand over the Philistines, And I will cut off the Cherethim, — And will cause to perish the remnant of the coast of the sea;
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 upon them great vengeance, with rebukes of indignation: shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I put forth mine avenging against them.
