以西結書 6

1 上主的話傳給我說：「

And the word of Jehovah 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 thy face against the mountains of Israel, and 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 say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the plains and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring the sword upon you, and I will destroy your high 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 your altars shall be desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast 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 carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about 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 places where ye dwell shall the cities be laid waste, and the high places be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken, and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be destroyed.

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 shall fall in the midst of you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.

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。

Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall have escaped the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

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 they of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, when I have broken their whorish heart which departed from me, and their eyes which went lusting after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in 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。」

Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, and that I have not said in vain, that I would do all 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite upon thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence shall they fall.

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。

He that is far off shall die by pestilence, and he that is near shall fall by the sword, and he that remaineth and is preserved shall die by famine. Thus will I accomplish my fury upon 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。

Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, in every place where they offered sweet savor 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。」

So will I stretch out my hand against them, and make the land desolate; yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
