以西結書 5
1 「人子啊，你要拿一把快刀，當作剃頭刀，用這刀剃你的頭髮和你的鬍鬚，用天平將鬚髮平分。
And you, son of man, take you a sword sharper than a barber's razor; you shall procure it for yourself, and shall bring it upon your head, and upon your beard: and you shall take a pair of scales, and shall separate the hair.
2 圍困城的日子滿了，你要將三分之一在城中用火焚燒，將三分之一在城的四圍用刀砍碎，將三分之一任風吹散；我也要拔刀追趕。
A fourth part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfillment of the days of the siege: and you shall take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part you shall cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 你要從其中取幾根包在衣襟裏，
And you shall take thence a few in number, and shall wrap them in the fold of your garment.
4 再從這幾根中取些扔在火中焚燒，從裏面必有火出來燒入以色列全家。
And you shall take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and you shall say to the whole house of Israel,
5 主耶和華如此說：這就是耶路撒冷。我曾將她安置在列邦之中；列國都在她的四圍。
Thus says the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.
6 她行惡，違背我的典章，過於列國；干犯我的律例，過於四圍的列邦，因為她棄掉我的典章。至於我的律例，她並沒有遵行。
And you shall declare mine ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes [to the sinful one] of the countries round about her: because they have rejected mine ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.
7 所以主耶和華如此說：因為你們紛爭過於四圍的列國，也不遵行我的律例，不謹守我的典章，並以遵從四圍列國的惡規尚不滿意，
Therefore thus says the Lord, Because your occasion [for sin has been taken] from the nations round about you, and you have not walked in my statutes, nor kept mine ordinances, nay, you have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus says the Lord;
8 所以主耶和華如此說：看哪，我與你反對，必在列國的眼前，在你中間，施行審判；
Behold, I am against you, and I will execute judgment in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
9 並且因你一切可憎的事，我要在你中間行我所未曾行的，以後我也不再照着行。
And I will do in you things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all your abominations.
10 在你中間父親要吃兒子，兒子要吃父親。我必向你施行審判，我必將你所剩下的分散四方。」
Therefore the fathers shall eat [their] children in the midst of you, and children shall eat [their] fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and I will scatter all that are left of you to every wind.
11 主耶和華說：「我指着我的永生起誓，因你用一切可憎的物、可厭的事玷污了我的聖所，故此，我定要使你人數減少，我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你。
Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord; surely, because you have defiled my holy things with all your abominations, I also will reject you; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.
12 你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死，在你中間必因饑荒消滅；三分之一必在你四圍倒在刀下；我必將三分之一分散四方，並要拔刀追趕他們。
A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine: and [as for another] fourth part of you, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of you shall fall by sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 「我要這樣成就怒中所定的；我向他們發的忿怒止息了，自己就得着安慰。我在他們身上成就怒中所定的那時，他們就知道我－耶和華所說的是出於熱心；
And my wrath and mine anger shall be accomplished upon them: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished mine anger upon them.
14 並且我必使你在四圍的列國中，在經過的眾人眼前，成了荒涼和羞辱。
And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of every one that passes through.
15 這樣，我必以怒氣和忿怒，並烈怒的責備，向你施行審判。那時，你就在四圍的列國中成為羞辱、譏刺、警戒、驚駭。這是我－耶和華說的。
And you shall be mourned over and miserable among the nations round about you, when I have executed judgments in you in the vengeance of my wrath. I the Lord have spoken.
16 那時，我要將滅人、使人饑荒的惡箭，就是射去滅人的，射在你們身上，並要加增你們的饑荒，斷絕你們所倚靠的糧食；
And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of your bread.
17 又要使饑荒和惡獸到你那裏，叫你喪子，瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那裏；我也要使刀劍臨到你。這是我－耶和華說的。」
So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I the Lord have spoken.
