以西結書 22
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came unto 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。
And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know 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 thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time [of sorrow] may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean:
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。
Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days [of destruction] to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
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 who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion!
6 「看哪，以色列的首領各逞其能，在你中間流人之血。
Behold, the princes of Israel were each [ready] with his arm within thee, in order 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 they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.
8 你藐視了我的聖物，干犯了我的安息日。
My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane.
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。
Tale-bearers [also] were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee.
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。
Their father's nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee.
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 one with his neighbor's wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughter-in-law with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee.
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。
Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.
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。
And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst 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。
Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do 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 will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of 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 be degraded through thyself before the eyes of nations, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
17 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 are become to me dross: they all are copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; the dross of silver are they become.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of 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。
As silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it: so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury and I will lay you down 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。
Yea, I will assemble you in a heap, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
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 the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord who have poured out my fury over you.
23 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed; [and] which is not rained upon on the day of indignation.
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 banded troop of her prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that teareth in pieces the prey: souls do they devour; wealth and precious things do they take away; the number of her widows do they increase in the midst of 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 violate my law, and profane my holy things: between the holy and profane do they make no distinction, and the difference between the unclean and the clean do they not make known, and from [the violation of] my sabbaths do they turn away their eyes, 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 princes in her midst are like wolves that tear in pieces the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to obtain selfish 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。
And her prophets plastered for them with unadhesive mortar, foreseeing falsehood, and divining unto them lies, saying, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal; 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 are guilty of extortion, and practise robbery, and the poor and the needy they defraud: and they extort from the stranger with injustice.
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 seek now among them for a man, that could erect a fence, and stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it; but I find 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。」
And I therefore pour out over them my indignation; with the fire of my wrath do I make an end of them: their own way do I bring upon their head, saith the Lord Eternal.
