< 以西結書 22 >
Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto 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。
Now thou sonne of man, wilt thou iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloody citie? wilt thou shew her 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。
Then say, Thus sayth the Lord God, The citie sheddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against her selfe to pollute her selfe.
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。
Thou hast offended in thy blood, that thou hast shed, and hast polluted thy selfe in thine idols, which thou hast made, and thou hast caused thy dayes to draw neere, and art come vnto thy terme: therefore haue I made thee a reproch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys.
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 that be neere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art vile in name and sore in affliction.
6 「看哪,以色列的首領各逞其能,在你中間流人之血。
Beholde, the princes of Israel euery one in thee was ready to 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。
In thee haue they despised father and mother: in the middes of thee haue they oppressed the stranger: in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and the widowe.
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast polluted 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。
In thee are men that cary tales to shed blood: in thee are they that eate vpon the mountaines: in ye mids of thee they comit abomination.
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 thee haue they discouered their fathers shame: in thee haue they vexed her that was polluted in her floures.
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。
And euery one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euery one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne sister, euen his fathers 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 thee haue they taken giftes to shed blood: thou hast taken vsurie and the encrease, and thou hast defrauded thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith 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。
Beholde, therefore I haue smitten mine hands vpon thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the blood, which hath bene in the middes of thee.
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。
Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the dayes that I shall haue to doe with thee? I the Lord haue spoken it, and will doe it.
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。
And I wil scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countreys, and will cause thy filthines to cease from thee.
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 thou shalt take thine inheritance in thy selfe in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.
And the worde of the Lord came vnto 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。
Sonne of man, the house of Israel is vnto me as drosse: all they are brasse, and tinne, and yron, and leade in the mids of the fornace: they are euen the drosse of siluer.
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, thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye are all as drosse, beholde, therefore I will gather you in the middes of Ierusalem.
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。
As they gather siluer and brasse, and yron, and leade, and tinne into the middes of the fornace, to blowe the fire vpon it to melt it, so wil I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and wil put 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。
I wil gather you, I say, and blowe the fire of my wrath vpon you, and you shalbe melted in the mids thereof.
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 siluer is melted in the mids of the fornace, so shall ye be melted in the mids thereof, and ye shall knowe, that I the Lord haue powred out my wrath vpon you.
And the worde of the Lord came vnto 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。
Sonne of man, say vnto her; Thou art the land, that is vncleane, and not rained vpon in the day of wrath.
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。
There is a conspiracie of her prophets in the mids thereof like a roaring lyon, rauening the praye: they haue deuoured soules: they haue taken the riches and precious things: they haue made her many widowes in the mids thereof.
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 haue broken my Lawe, and haue defiled mine holy things: they haue put no difference betweene the holy and prophane, neither discerned betweene the vncleane, and the cleane, and haue hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am prophaned 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 princes in the mids thereof are like wolues, rauening the praye to shed blood, and to destroy soules for their owne couetous lucre.
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。
And her prophets haue dawbed them with vntempered morter, seeing vanities, and diuining lies vnto them, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God, when the Lord had 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 haue violently oppressed by spoyling and robbing, and haue vexed the poore and the needy: yea, they haue oppressed the stranger against right.
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。
And I sought for a man among them, that should make vp the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
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。」
Therefore haue I powred out mine indignation vpon them, and consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their owne wayes haue I rendred vpon their heads, sayth the Lord God.
