< 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 thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of 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 thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are 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 will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy 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 Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: 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 saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy 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 stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt 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 saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:
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 his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,
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。
To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations.
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 saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of 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 saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall 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 lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith 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 saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities:
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。
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
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 upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
