以西結書 8
1 六年六月五日，當我坐在我屋內，猶大的長老門坐在我面前時，吾主上主的手臨於我。
And it was doon in the sixte yeer, in the sixte monethe, in the fyuethe dai of the monethe, Y sat in myn hous, and the elde men of Juda saten bifore me; and the hond of the Lord God felle there on me.
2 我觀望，看，有一個形像，形狀如人，在他相似腰部的下面，有一團火，在他腰部的上面好像有一道光輝，像發亮的金屬。
And Y siy, and lo! a licnesse as the biholdyng of fier; fro the biholding of hise leendis and bynethe was fier, and fro hise leendis and aboue was as the biholdyng of schynyng, as the siyt of electre.
3 他伸出一隻像手的形狀，抓住我的一綹頭髮，有一種神力把我提到天地之間，在神視中將我提往耶路撒冷去，到了內門的北門門口，在那裏供奉著引起上主妒火的偶像。
And the licnesse of an hond was sent out, and took me bi the heer of myn heed; and the spirit reiside me bitwixe heuene and erthe, and brouyte me in to Jerusalem, in the siyt of God, bisidis the ynnere dore that bihelde to the north, where the idol of enuye was set, to stire indignacioun.
4 在那裏出現了以色列天主的光榮，相似我在平原所見的異像。
And lo! the glorie of God of Israel was there, bi siyt which Y siy in the feeld.
5 他向我說：「人子，舉目向北方看! 」我遂舉目向北方看；看見在靠近祭壇的北門門口，有那引起上主妒火的偶像。
And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, reise thin iyen to the weie of the north; and Y reiside myn iyen to the weie of the north, and lo! fro the north of the yate of the auter the idol of enuye was in that entryng.
6 他又向我說：「人子，你看他們作的是什麼﹖以色列家族在這裏所行的極其醜惡之事，使我非離開我的聖所不可，但你還要看見更為醜惡的事。」
And he seide to me, Sone of man, gessist thou whether thou seest what thing these men doon, the grete abhomynaciouns whiche the hous of Israel doith here, that Y go fer awei fro my seyntuarie? and yit thou schalt turne, and schalt se grettere abhomynaciouns.
7 以後，他引我到外院的大門口，我看見在牆上有一個洞。
And he ledde me with ynne to the dore of the halle; and Y siy, and lo! oon hoole in the wal.
8 他向我說：「人子，把這牆穿一個洞! 」我遂在牆上穿了一個洞，出現了一道門。
And he seide to me, Sone of man, digge thou the wal; and whanne Y hadde diggid the wal, o dore apperide.
9 他又向我說：「你進去看一看他們在那裏所做的窮凶極惡的醜行。」
And he seide to me, Entre thou, and se the worste abhomynaciouns, whiche these men doon here.
10 我便進去，看見有各種爬蟲和走獸的像，都是可憎惡的；還有以色列家的各種偶像，都刻畫在四周的牆上。
And Y entride, and siy; and lo! ech licnesse of `crepynge beestis, and abhomynacioun of beestis, and alle idols of the hous of Israel, weren peyntid in the wal al aboute in cumpas.
11 以色列家族的七十長老，沙番的兒子雅匝尼雅也在他們中間，都站在那些像前，每人手中拿著香爐，燒的香煙如濃雲，正在上騰。
And seuenti men of the eldere of the hous of Israel stoden; and Jeconye, the sone of Saphan, stood in the myddis of hem, stondynge bifore the peyntyngis; and ech man hadde a censere in his hond, and the smoke of a cloude of encense stiede.
12 他對我說：「人子，你看見了以色列的長老在黑暗中，每人在藏神像的暗室中所行的事嗎﹖他們說：上主看不見我們，上主已離棄了此地。」
And he seide to me, Certis, sone of man, thou seest what thingis the eldere men of the hous of Israel doen in derknessis, ech man in the hid place of his bed; for thei seiyn, The Lord seeth not vs, the Lord hath forsake the lond.
13 他又向我說：「你還要看見他們所行的更醜惡的事。」
And the Lord seide to me, Yit thou schalt turne, and schalt se gretter abhomynaciouns, whiche these men doon.
14 以後，他引我到了上主的聖殿朝北的大門口。看，有些婦女坐在那裏，哀悼塔慕次。
And he ledde me with ynne, bi the dore of the yate of the hous of the Lord, which dore bihelde to the north; and lo! wymmen saten there, biweilynge Adonydes.
15 他向我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖但你還要看見比這更醜惡的事。」
And the Lord seide to me, Certis, sone of man, thou hast seyn; yit thou schalt turne, and schalt se gretere abhomynaciouns than these.
16 以後，他引我到了上主聖殿的內庭院內；看，在上主聖所的門口，在走廊和祭壇中間約有二十五個人，背向上主的聖所，面向東方，他們正在向東方朝拜太陽。
And he ledde me with ynne, in to the ynnere halle of the hous of the Lord; and lo! in the dore of the temple of the Lord, bitwixe the porche and the auter, weren as fyue and twenti men hauynge the backis ayens the temple of the Lord, and her faces to the eest; and thei worschipiden at the risyng of the sunne.
17 他又向我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖在這裏行的這些醜惡之事，為猶大家還不夠嗎﹖他們還將此地充滿了殘暴之事，時時惹我忿怒。看，他們還把枝條舉到自己鼻子上。
And the Lord seide to me, Certis, sone of man, thou hast seyn; whether this is a liyt thing to the hous of Juda, that thei schulden do these abhomynaciouns, whiche thei diden here? For thei filliden the lond with wickidnesse, and turneden to terre me to wraththe; and lo! thei applien a braunche to her nose thirlis.
18 我必大發憤怒，我的眼決不憐視，一點也不顧惜；極使他們在我耳旁高聲喊叫，我仍不俯聽他們。」
Therfor and Y schal do in strong veniaunce; myn iye schal not spare, nether Y schal do merci; and whanne thei schulen crie to myn eris with greet vois, Y schal not here hem.
