< 以西結書 25 >

1 耶和華的話臨到我說:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 「人子啊,你要面向亞捫人說預言,攻擊他們,
“Son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon, and you shall prophesy about them.
3 說:你們當聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華如此說:我的聖所被褻瀆,以色列地變荒涼,猶大家被擄掠;那時,你便因這些事說:『阿哈!』
And you shall say to the sons of Ammon: Listen to the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have said, ‘Well, well!’ over my sanctuary, when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel, when it was desolated, and over the house of Judah, when they were led into captivity,
4 所以我必將你的地交給東方人為業;他們必在你的地上安營居住,吃你的果子,喝你的奶。
therefore, I will deliver you to the sons of the East, as an inheritance. And they will arrange their fences within you, and they will place their tents within you. They will eat your crops, and they will drink your milk.
5 我必使拉巴為駱駝場,使亞捫人的地為羊群躺臥之處,你們就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will make Rabbah into the habitation of camels, and the sons of Ammon into the resting place of cattle. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
6 主耶和華如此說:「因你拍手頓足,以滿心的恨惡向以色列地歡喜,
For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stomped your foot, and have rejoiced with all your heart against the land of Israel,
7 所以我伸手攻擊你,將你交給列國作為擄物。我必從萬民中剪除你,使你從萬國中敗亡。我必除滅你,你就知道我是耶和華。」
therefore, behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will deliver you as a spoil of the Gentiles. And I will destroy you from the peoples, and I will perish you from the lands, and I will crush you. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
8 主耶和華如此說:「因摩押和西珥人說:『看哪,猶大家與列國無異』,
Thus says the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the Gentiles!’
9 所以我要破開摩押邊界上的城邑,就是摩押人看為本國之榮耀的伯‧耶西末、巴力‧免、基列亭,
therefore, behold, I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and from his borders, the famous cities of the land of Beth-Jesimoth, and Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
10 好使東方人來攻擊亞捫人。我必將亞捫人之地交給他們為業,使亞捫人在列國中不再被記念。
with the sons of Ammon, to the sons of the East, and I will give it to them as an inheritance, so that there may no longer be a remembrance of the sons of Ammon among the Gentiles.
11 我必向摩押施行審判,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will execute judgments in Moab. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
12 主耶和華如此說:「因為以東報仇雪恨,攻擊猶大家,向他們報仇,大大有罪,
Thus says the Lord God: Because Idumea has taken vengeance, so as to vindicate herself against the sons of Judah, and has sinned grievously, and has sought revenge against them,
13 所以主耶和華如此說:我必伸手攻擊以東,剪除人與牲畜,使以東從提幔起,人必倒在刀下,地要變為荒涼,直到底但。
therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will extend my hand over Idumea, and I will take from it both man and beast, and I will make it desolate from the south. And those who are in Dedan will fall by the sword.
14 我必藉我民以色列的手報復以東;以色列民必照我的怒氣,按我的忿怒在以東施報,以東人就知道是我施報。這是主耶和華說的。」
And I will issue my vengeance upon Idumea, by the hand of my people, Israel. And they shall act in Idumea in accord with my wrath and my fury. And they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord God.
15 主耶和華如此說:「因非利士人向猶大人報仇,就是以恨惡的心報仇雪恨,永懷仇恨,要毀滅他們,
Thus says the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their soul, destroying, and fulfilling ancient hostilities,
16 所以主耶和華如此說:我必伸手攻擊非利士人,剪除基利提人,滅絕沿海剩下的居民。
because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will extend my hand over the Philistines, and I will destroy those who destroy, and I will perish the remnant of the maritime regions.
17 我向他們大施報應,發怒斥責他們。我報復他們的時候,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will execute great vengeance against them, reproving them in fury. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will send my vengeance upon them.”
