以西結書 22
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要審問審問這流人血的城嗎？當使她知道她一切可憎的事。
“As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations
3 你要說，主耶和華如此說：哎！這城有流人血的事在其中，叫她受報的日期來到，又做偶像玷污自己，陷害自己。
and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,
4 你因流了人的血，就為有罪；你做了偶像，就玷污自己，使你受報之日臨近，報應之年來到。所以我叫你受列國的凌辱和列邦的譏誚。
you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
5 你這名臭、多亂的城啊，那些離你近、離你遠的都必譏誚你。
Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
6 「看哪，以色列的首領各逞其能，在你中間流人之血。
See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
7 在你中間有輕慢父母的，有欺壓寄居的，有虧負孤兒寡婦的。
Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
8 你藐視了我的聖物，干犯了我的安息日。
You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
9 在你中間有讒謗人、流人血的；有在山上吃過祭偶像之物的，有行淫亂的。
Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
10 在你中間有露繼母下體羞辱父親的，有玷辱月經不潔淨之婦人的。
In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
11 這人與鄰舍的妻行可憎的事；那人貪淫玷污兒婦；還有玷辱同父之姊妹的。
One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12 在你中間有為流人血受賄賂的；有向借錢的弟兄取利，向借糧的弟兄多要的。且因貪得無饜，欺壓鄰舍奪取財物，竟忘了我。這是主耶和華說的。
In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13 「看哪，我因你所得不義之財和你中間所流的血，就拍掌歎息。
Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
14 到了我懲罰你的日子，你的心還能忍受嗎？你的手還能有力嗎？我－耶和華說了這話，就必照着行。
Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
15 我必將你分散在列國，四散在列邦。我也必從你中間除掉你的污穢。
I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
16 你必在列國人的眼前因自己所行的被褻瀆，你就知道我是耶和華。」
And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 耶和華的話臨到我說：
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 「人子啊，以色列家在我看為渣滓。他們都是爐中的銅、錫、鐵、鉛，都是銀渣滓。
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
19 所以主耶和華如此說：因你們都成為渣滓，我必聚集你們在耶路撒冷中。
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20 人怎樣將銀、銅、鐵、鉛、錫聚在爐中，吹火鎔化；照樣，我也要發怒氣和忿怒，將你們聚集放在城中，鎔化你們。
Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
21 我必聚集你們，把我烈怒的火吹在你們身上，你們就在其中鎔化。
Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
22 銀子怎樣鎔化在爐中，你們也必照樣鎔化在城中，你們就知道我－耶和華是將忿怒倒在你們身上了。」
As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
23 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
24 「人子啊，你要對這地說：你是未得潔淨之地，在惱恨的日子也沒有雨下在你以上。
“Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of indignation, you are a land that has not been cleansed, upon which no rain has fallen.’
25 其中的先知同謀背叛，如咆哮的獅子抓撕掠物。他們吞滅人民，搶奪財寶，使這地多有寡婦。
The conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.
26 其中的祭司強解我的律法，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖的和俗的，也不使人分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的，又遮眼不顧我的安息日；我也在他們中間被褻慢。
Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27 其中的首領彷彿豺狼抓撕掠物，殺人流血，傷害人命，要得不義之財。
Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
28 其中的先知為百姓用未泡透的灰抹牆，就是為他們見虛假的異象，用謊詐的占卜，說：『主耶和華如此說』，其實耶和華沒有說。
Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29 國內眾民一味地欺壓，慣行搶奪，虧負困苦窮乏的，背理欺壓寄居的。
The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice.
30 我在他們中間尋找一人重修牆垣，在我面前為這國站在破口防堵，使我不滅絕這國，卻找不着一個。
I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.
31 所以我將惱恨倒在他們身上，用烈怒的火滅了他們，照他們所行的報應在他們頭上。這是主耶和華說的。」
So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
