以西結書 25
1 耶和華的話臨到我說：
A message from 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, face towards the Ammonites and prophesy against 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！』
Tell the Ammonites to listen to the message from the Lord God, for this is what the Lord God says: Because you said, ‘Oh good!’ when my sanctuary was made unclean, when the country of Israel was turned into a wasteland, and when the people of Judah were taken into exile,
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。
this is why I will make you subject to the people of the East. They will make camp and set up their tents right where you live. They will eat your fruit and 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。」
I will make Rabbah a camel pasture, and Ammon a sheep-pen. Then you will 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 this is what the Lord God says: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet in a celebration of hate over what happened to 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。」
this is why I will reach out and attack you, and hand you over to be looted by other nations. I will wipe you out so completely that you will no longer exist as a nation. I will destroy you, and then you will 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』，
This is what the Lord God says: Because the people of Moab and Seir said, ‘Look, the people of Judah are just like everybody else,’
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，
that's why I will open Moab's border to attack, including Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, the country's famous cities.
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。
I will hand Moab over to the people of the East for them to rule so that will no longer exist as a nation just like the Ammonites.
11 我必向摩押施行審判，他們就知道我是耶和華。」
This is how I'm going to punish the Moabites, and they will 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，
This is what the Lord God says: Because Edom committed serious sins by taking vicious revenge on the people of Judah,
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。
this is why the Lord God says: I will reach out to attack Edom and destroy all its people and animals. I will turn it into a wasteland. All the way from Teman in the north to Dedan in the south they will die 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。」
I will take revenge on the Edomites through my people Israel. They will deal with the Edomites so that they experience my anger. Then they will know what my vengeance is like, declares 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，
This is what the Lord God says: Because the Philistines in their hatred repeatedly took revenge on Judah, trying to destroy the people,
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。
this is why the Lord God says: Watch out! I'm going to reach out to attack the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those who are left along the 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。」
My revenge against them will be severe as I punish them in my anger. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when they experience my anger.”
