以西結書 5
1 「人子，你拿一把快刀，當理髮的剃刀用，剃去你的頭髮和鬍鬚，然後拿一個天平，分開那些鬚髮。
And you, son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon your head and upon your beard: then take you balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 等被困的日子一滿，把三分之一在城內用火燒掉；再拿三分之一在城四周用劍擊砍；其他三分之一，要揚在風中，我要拔出劍來追趕他們。
You shall burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and you shall take a third part, and strike about it with a knife: and a third part you shall scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 但你要從鬍鬚中取出幾根來，繫在你的衣服邊上，
You shall also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
4 再從其中取出幾根投入火中，讓火燒掉；然後你向以色列全家說：
Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 吾主上主這樣說：這就是耶路撒冷! 我將她安置在萬民之中，使萬國環繞著她；
Thus says the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
6 但是她違背了我的法令，作惡甚於異民，違背我的法律甚於環繞她的列國，因為她們輕視了我的法令，沒有照我的法律行事。
And she has changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 為此，吾主上主這樣說：因為你們比環繞你們的異民更為叛逆，沒有照我的法律行事；沒有遵行我的法令，也沒有按照環繞你們異民的法律行事；
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because all of you multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
8 因此吾主上主這樣說：看，我要親自對付你；在你中間，在異民眼前實行懲罰。
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
9 為了你的一切醜惡，我要對你實習未曾實行過的，將來也不會實行的事；
And I will do in you that which I have not done, and unto which I will not do any more the like, because of all of your abominations.
10 在你境內，為父的要吃自己的兒子，為子的要吃自己的父親。我必如此在你境內實行懲罰，且把遺民分散到四方。
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and the whole remnant of you will I scatter into all the winds.
11 為此我指著我的生命起誓說：──吾主上主的斷語──因為你用你的一切可憎和可惡之物玷污了我的聖所，我必將你剷除，我的眼決不憐視，一點也不憐惜。
Wherefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD; Surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all of your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 你三分之一的人民要在你境內死於瘟疫，亡於饑荒；另三分之一，在你四周各地喪身刀下；其他三分之一，我要分散到各地。我且拔出劍來追趕他們。
A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 這樣，我的忿怒纔可以發洩，我的怒火在他們身上纔會平息，得到了報復；當我的憤怒在他們身上發洩時，他們要承認我，上主，在妒火中講了話。
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
14 我要使你成為荒野，使你在環繞你的異民前，和所有的過客前，成為辱罵的對象。
Moreover I will make you waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about you, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 當我大發憤怒，以嚴厲的懲罰在你身上施行裁判時，你就成為環繞你的異民凌辱、恥笑、警戒和警駭的對象：這是我上主說的。
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about you, when I shall execute judgments in you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
16 當我向你們射出饑荒的毒箭──射出毀滅的箭，毀滅你們時──我必使饑荒在你們境內更加嚴重，斷絕你們的糧源。
When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17 我必使饑荒和猛獸危害你們，掠去你們的子女，並使瘟疫和血案在你境內盛行，還有刀兵來打擊你：這是我上主說的。」
So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave you: and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I the LORD have spoken it.
