< 以西結書 35 >

1 上主的話傳給我說:「
Moreover 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 prophesy against 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。
And say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.
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 lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, 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:
Because you have had a perpetual hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
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。
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall 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。
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passes out and him that 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 his mountains with his slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with 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 make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
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;
Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
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,
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I 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 am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
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。
Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
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 rejoices, I will make you desolate.
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。」
As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
