以西结书 28
1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊，你对泰尔君王说，主耶和华如此说： 因你心里高傲，说：我是神； 我在海中坐神之位。 你虽然居心自比神， 也不过是人，并不是神！
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 看哪，你比但以理更有智慧， 什么秘事都不能向你隐藏。
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
4 你靠自己的智慧聪明得了金银财宝， 收入库中。
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财， 又因资财心里高傲。
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 所以主耶和华如此说： 因你居心自比神，
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
7 我必使外邦人， 就是列国中的强暴人临到你这里； 他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物， 亵渎你的荣光。
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 他们必使你下坑； 你必死在海中， 与被杀的人一样。
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
9 在杀你的人面前你还能说“我是神”吗？ 其实你在杀害你的人手中， 不过是人，并不是神。
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 你必死在外邦人手中， 与未受割礼的人一样， 因为这是主耶和华说的。”
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 耶和华的话临到我说：
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “人子啊，你为泰尔王作起哀歌，说主耶和华如此说： 你无所不备， 智慧充足，全然美丽。
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
13 你曾在伊甸 神的园中， 佩戴各样宝石， 就是红宝石、红璧玺、金钢石、 水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉、 蓝宝石、绿宝石、红玉，和黄金； 又有精美的鼓笛在你那里， 都是在你受造之日预备齐全的。
You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
14 你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯； 我将你安置在 神的圣山上； 你在发光如火的宝石中间往来。
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
15 你从受造之日所行的都完全， 后来在你中间又察出不义。
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
16 因你贸易很多， 就被强暴的事充满，以致犯罪， 所以我因你亵渎圣地， 就从 神的山驱逐你。 遮掩约柜的基路伯啊， 我已将你从发光如火的宝石中除灭。
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
17 你因美丽心中高傲， 又因荣光败坏智慧， 我已将你摔倒在地， 使你倒在君王面前， 好叫他们目睹眼见。
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
18 你因罪孽众多， 贸易不公， 就亵渎你那里的圣所。 故此，我使火从你中间发出，烧灭你， 使你在所有观看的人眼前变为地上的炉灰。
By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
19 各国民中，凡认识你的， 都必为你惊奇。 你令人惊恐， 不再存留于世，直到永远。”
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 耶和华的话临到我说：
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “人子啊，你要向西顿预言攻击她，
“Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 说主耶和华如此说： 西顿哪，我与你为敌， 我必在你中间得荣耀。 我在你中间施行审判、显为圣的时候， 人就知道我是耶和华。
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
23 我必使瘟疫进入西顿， 使血流在她街上。 被杀的必在其中仆倒， 四围有刀剑临到她， 人就知道我是耶和华。”
I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 “四围恨恶以色列家的人，必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘，伤人的蒺藜，人就知道我是主耶和华。”
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
25 主耶和华如此说：“我将分散在万民中的以色列家招聚回来，向他们在列邦人眼前显为圣的时候，他们就在我赐给我仆人雅各之地，仍然居住。
This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 他们要在这地上安然居住。我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以后，他们要盖造房屋，栽种葡萄园，安然居住，就知道我是耶和华—他们的 神。”
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
