< 以西结书 5 >

1 “人子啊,你要拿一把快刀,当作剃头刀,用这刀剃你的头发和你的胡须,用天平将须发平分。
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and divide the hair.
2 围困城的日子满了,你要将三分之一在城中用火焚烧,将三分之一在城的四围用刀砍碎,将三分之一任风吹散;我也要拔刀追赶。
A third part thou shalt burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the fulfilling of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a third part, and cut it in pieces with the knife all round about: and the other third part thou shalt scatter in the wind, and I will draw out the sword after them.
3 你要从其中取几根包在衣襟里,
And thou shalt take thereof a small number: and shalt bind them in the skirt of thy cloak.
4 再从这几根中取些扔在火中焚烧,从里面必有火出来烧入以色列全家。
And thou shalt take of them again, and shalt cast them in the midst of the fire, and shalt burn them with fire: and out of it shall come forth a fire into all the house of Israel.
5 主耶和华如此说:这就是耶路撒冷。我曾将她安置在列邦之中;列国都在她的四围。
Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries round about her.
6 她行恶,违背我的典章,过于列国;干犯我的律例,过于四围的列邦,因为她弃掉我的典章。至于我的律例,她并没有遵行。
And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments.
7 所以主耶和华如此说:因为你们纷争过于四围的列国,也不遵行我的律例,不谨守我的典章,并以遵从四围列国的恶规尚不满意,
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you:
8 所以主耶和华如此说:看哪,我与你反对,必在列国的眼前,在你中间,施行审判;
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I myself will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the Gentiles.
9 并且因你一切可憎的事,我要在你中间行我所未曾行的,以后我也不再照着行。
And I will do in thee that which I have not done: and the like to which I will do no more, because of all thy abominations.
10 在你中间父亲要吃儿子,儿子要吃父亲。我必向你施行审判,我必将你所剩下的分散四方。”
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind.
11 主耶和华说:“我指着我的永生起誓,因你用一切可憎的物、可厌的事玷污了我的圣所,故此,我定要使你人数减少,我眼必不顾惜你,也不可怜你。
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God: Because thou hast violated my sanctuary with all thy offences, and with ail thy abominations: I will also break thee in pieces, and my eye shall not spare, and I will not have any pity.
12 你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死,在你中间必因饥荒消灭;三分之一必在你四围倒在刀下;我必将三分之一分散四方,并要拔刀追赶他们。
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee: and a third part of thee shall fall by the sword round about thee: and a third part of thee will I scatter into every wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 “我要这样成就怒中所定的;我向他们发的忿怒止息了,自己就得着安慰。我在他们身上成就怒中所定的那时,他们就知道我—耶和华所说的是出于热心;
And I will accomplish my fury, and will cause my indignation 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 shall have accomplished my indignation in them.
14 并且我必使你在四围的列国中,在经过的众人眼前,成了荒凉和羞辱。
And I will make thee desolate, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of every one that passeth by.
15 这样,我必以怒气和忿怒,并烈怒的责备,向你施行审判。那时,你就在四围的列国中成为羞辱、讥刺、警戒、惊骇。这是我—耶和华说的。
And thou shalt be a reproach, and a scoff, an example, and an astonishment amongst the nations that are round about thee, when I shall have executed judgments in thee in anger, and in indignation, and in wrathful rebukes.
16 那时,我要将灭人、使人饥荒的恶箭,就是射去灭人的,射在你们身上,并要加增你们的饥荒,断绝你们所倚靠的粮食;
I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather together famine against you: and I will break among you the staff of bread.
17 又要使饥荒和恶兽到你那里,叫你丧子,瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那里;我也要使刀剑临到你。这是我—耶和华说的。”
And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
