< 以西結書 6 >

1 耶和華的話臨到我說:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊,你要面向以色列的眾山說預言,
“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3 說:以色列的眾山哪,要聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華對大山、小岡、水溝、山谷如此說:我必使刀劍臨到你們,也必毀滅你們的邱壇。
You are to say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 你們的祭壇必然荒涼,你們的日像必被打碎。我要使你們被殺的人倒在你們的偶像面前;
Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
5 我也要將以色列人的屍首放在他們的偶像面前,將你們的骸骨拋散在你們祭壇的四圍。
I will lay the corpses of the Israelites before their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
6 在你們一切的住處,城邑要變為荒場,邱壇必然淒涼,使你們的祭壇荒廢,將你們的偶像打碎。你們的日像被砍倒,你們的工作被毀滅。
Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.
7 被殺的人必倒在你們中間,你們就知道我是耶和華。
The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8 「你們分散在各國的時候,我必在列邦中使你們有剩下脫離刀劍的人。
Yet I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.
9 那脫離刀劍的人必在所擄到的各國中記念我,為他們心中何等傷破,是因他們起淫心,遠離我,眼對偶像行邪淫。他們因行一切可憎的惡事,必厭惡自己。
Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.
10 他們必知道我是耶和華;我說要使這災禍臨到他們身上,並非空話。
And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.
11 「主耶和華如此說:你當拍手頓足,說:哀哉!以色列家行這一切可憎的惡事,他們必倒在刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫之下。
This is what the Lord GOD says: Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, who will fall by sword and famine and plague.
12 在遠處的,必遭瘟疫而死;在近處的,必倒在刀劍之下;那存留被圍困的,必因饑荒而死;我必這樣在他們身上成就我怒中所定的。
He who is far off will die by the plague, he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains will die by famine. So I will vent My fury upon them.
13 他們被殺的人倒在他們祭壇四圍的偶像中,就是各高岡、各山頂、各青翠樹下、各茂密的橡樹下,乃是他們獻馨香的祭牲給一切偶像的地方。那時,他們就知道我是耶和華。
Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and leafy oak—the places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.
14 我必伸手攻擊他們,使他們的地從曠野到第伯拉他一切住處極其荒涼,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
