< 以西結書 28 >
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2 「人子啊,你對泰爾君王說,主耶和華如此說: 因你心裏高傲,說:我是神; 我在海中坐神之位。 你雖然居心自比神, 也不過是人,並不是神!
“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3 看哪,你比但以理更有智慧, 甚麼祕事都不能向你隱藏。
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 你靠自己的大智慧和貿易增添資財, 又因資財心裏高傲。
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
“‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7 我必使外邦人, 就是列國中的強暴人臨到你這裏; 他們必拔刀砍壞你用智慧得來的美物, 褻瀆你的榮光。
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8 他們必使你下坑; 你必死在海中, 與被殺的人一樣。
They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
9 在殺你的人面前你還能說「我是神」嗎? 其實你在殺害你的人手中, 不過是人,並不是神。
Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 你必死在外邦人手中, 與未受割禮的人一樣, 因為這是主耶和華說的。」
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12 「人子啊,你為泰爾王作起哀歌,說主耶和華如此說: 你無所不備, 智慧充足,全然美麗。
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 你曾在伊甸上帝的園中, 佩戴各樣寶石, 就是紅寶石、紅璧璽、金鋼石、 水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉、 藍寶石、綠寶石、紅玉,和黃金; 又有精美的鼓笛在你那裏, 都是在你受造之日預備齊全的。
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14 你是那受膏遮掩約櫃的基路伯; 我將你安置在上帝的聖山上; 你在發光如火的寶石中間往來。
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15 你從受造之日所行的都完全, 後來在你中間又察出不義。
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 因你貿易很多, 就被強暴的事充滿,以致犯罪, 所以我因你褻瀆聖地, 就從上帝的山驅逐你。 遮掩約櫃的基路伯啊, 我已將你從發光如火的寶石中除滅。
By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17 你因美麗心中高傲, 又因榮光敗壞智慧, 我已將你摔倒在地, 使你倒在君王面前, 好叫他們目睹眼見。
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18 你因罪孽眾多, 貿易不公, 就褻瀆你那裏的聖所。 故此,我使火從你中間發出,燒滅你, 使你在所有觀看的人眼前變為地上的爐灰。
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 各國民中,凡認識你的, 都必為你驚奇。 你令人驚恐, 不再存留於世,直到永遠。」
All those who know you amongst the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
“Son of man, set your face towards Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 說主耶和華如此說: 西頓哪,我與你為敵, 我必在你中間得榮耀。 我在你中間施行審判、顯為聖的時候, 人就知道我是耶和華。
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified amongst you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgements in her, and am sanctified in her.
23 我必使瘟疫進入西頓, 使血流在她街上。 被殺的必在其中仆倒, 四圍有刀劍臨到她, 人就知道我是耶和華。」
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24 「四圍恨惡以色列家的人,必不再向他們作刺人的荊棘,傷人的蒺藜,人就知道我是主耶和華。」
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
25 主耶和華如此說:「我將分散在萬民中的以色列家招聚回來,向他們在列邦人眼前顯為聖的時候,他們就在我賜給我僕人雅各之地,仍然居住。
“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples amongst whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy amongst them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 他們要在這地上安然居住。我向四圍恨惡他們的眾人施行審判以後,他們要蓋造房屋,栽種葡萄園,安然居住,就知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝。」
They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgements on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
