以西結書 35
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 人子，你要面向色依爾山，講預言攻斥它，
“Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:
3 對它說：吾主上主這樣說：色依爾山啊! 看，我要攻擊你，伸手打擊你，使你變成沙漠和荒野。
Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.
4 我要使你的城市變成廢墟，你將成為沙漠：如此，你便承認我是上主。
I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
5 因為在以色列子民遭難時，在他們罪惡滿盈時，你懷著永不忘的仇恨將他們交於刀劍：
For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
6 為此，我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你既仇恨了血，血也必迫害你。
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.
7 我必使色依爾山成為沙漠和荒野，由其中滅絕來往經過的人。
And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.
8 我要使你的群山、丘陵、山谷和溪澗，堆滿傷亡的人，使刀劍傷亡的人橫臥其中。
And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.
9 我要使你永久變為荒蕪，你的城邑再沒有人居住：如此，你們便承認我是上主。
I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 因為你說過：這兩個民族，這兩個地域應屬於我，雖然雅威住在那裏，我還要去佔領；
For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.
11 為此，我指著我的生命起誓，──吾主上主的斷語──就如你怎樣懷著仇恨對待他們，同樣我也必以怒火和妒恨來對待你；當我懲罰你時，我叫你知道我在他們中，
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.
12 並要你知道，我上主聽見了你向以色列的群山所講的一切詛咒的話，說：它們已荒蕪了，已交給我們享用。
And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’
13 當你們開口說大話攻斥我，說出許多凌辱我的話時，我都聽見了。
And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.
14 吾主上主這樣說：當全地歡躍時，我要使你荒蕪，
Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.
15 就如在以色列家的產業荒蕪時，你曾喜樂；同樣，我也要這樣對待你；色依爾山必變成荒野，全厄東必被消滅：如此，人必承認我是上主。」
Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
