以西結書 6
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 人子，你要面對以色列的群山，講預言攻斥他們，
“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and you shall prophesy against them,
3 說以色列的群山，請聽吾主上主的話：吾主上主這樣對高山、丘陵、山溪、山谷說：看，我要使刀兵臨於你們，蕩平你們的丘壇；
and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and hills and cliffs and valleys: Behold, I will lead over you the sword. And I will destroy your exalted places.
4 破壞你們的祭壇，打碎你們的太陽柱，並使你們被殺的人倒在你們的偶像之前。
And I will demolish your altars. And your graven images will be broken apart. And I will throw down your slain before your idols.
5 我還要把以色列屍體放在他們的偶像前，把你們的骨頭散在你們的祭壇周圍。
And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before the face of your idols. And I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6 在你們居住的地方，城池變為荒野，丘壇遭受破壞，為叫你們的祭壇也成為荒涼，變為廢墟，偶像被粉碎，被消滅，太陽柱被打碎，你們所製造的東西都剷除淨盡。
In all of your habitations, the cities will be made desolate, and the exalted places will be torn down and scattered. And your altars will be broken and destroyed. And your idols will cease to exist. And your shrines will be crushed. And your works will be wiped away.
7 被殺的人橫臥在你們中間：如此你們要承認我是上主。」「
And the slain will fall in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
8 當我把你們分散到各國時，我還要把一些倖免於刀兵的人，殘留在異民中。
And I will leave among you those who will escape the sword among the Gentiles, when I will have dispersed you upon the earth.
9 你們被擄到異民中的遺民，必要想念我，因為我擊碎了他們好淫而背棄我的心，也擊碎了他們好淫而隨從偶像的眼睛，那時他們必要為了一切邪神所行的事而自怨自艾。
And your liberated shall remember me among the nations to which they were led away as captives. For I have crushed their heart, which fornicated and withdrew from me, and their eyes, which fornicated after their idols. And they will be displeased with themselves over the evils that they have done by all their abominations.
10 如此，他們會承認，我上主說要對他們施行懲罰，並非空話。」
And they shall know that I, the Lord, have not spoken in vain, that I would do this evil to them.”
11 吾主上主這樣說：「我要拍手頓足地說：禍哉! 以色列家，因了一切醜惡的罪行，她必要亡於刀兵、饑荒和瘟疫：
Thus says the Lord God: “Strike with your hand, and stomp with your foot, and say: ‘Alas, to all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel!’ For they will fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
12 遠處的要死於瘟疫，近處的要喪身刀下，剩餘而被圍困的，要死於饑餓，我必要這樣對他們發洩我的怒火。
Whoever is far away will die of pestilence. But whoever is near will fall by the sword. And whoever remains and is besieged will die by famine. And I will fulfill my indignation among them.
13 幾時被殺的人橫臥在他們的祭壇四周，在他們的偶像中間，在各高山，各山頂，在各綠樹下，在密茂的樟樹下，即在他們給各偶像獻香的地方，那時，你們必承認我是上主。
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain will be in the midst of your idols, all around your altars, on every exalted hill, and on the summits of all the mountains, and under every dense tree, and under every leafy oak: the places where they burned sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.
14 我要伸手打擊他們，凡他們所居之地，我要使田地變為沙漠和荒野，自曠野直到黎貝拉：這樣，他們必承認我是上主。」
And I will extend my hand over them. And I will make the earth desolate and destitute: from the desert of Riblah to all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
