< 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 toward the mountains of Israel, and you shall 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。
and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and hills and cliffs and valleys: Behold, I will lead over you the sword. And I will destroy your exalted 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;
And I will demolish your altars. And your graven images will be broken apart. And I will throw 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。
And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before the face of your idols. And I will 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。
In all of your habitations, the cities will be made desolate, and the exalted places will be torn down and scattered. And your altars will be broken and destroyed. And your idols will cease to exist. And your shrines will be crushed. And your works will be wiped away.
7 被殺的人必倒在你們中間,你們就知道我是耶和華。
And the slain will fall in your midst. And you shall 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。
And I will leave among you those who will escape the sword among the Gentiles, when I will have dispersed you upon the earth.
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。
And your liberated shall remember me among the nations to which they were led away as captives. For I have crushed their heart, which fornicated and withdrew from me, and their eyes, which fornicated after their idols. And they will be displeased with themselves over the evils that they have done by 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 shall know that I, the Lord, have not spoken in vain, that I would do this evil to 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。
Thus says the Lord God: “Strike with your hand, and stomp with your foot, and say: ‘Alas, to all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel!’ For they will fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
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。
Whoever is far away will die of pestilence. But whoever is near will fall by the sword. And whoever remains and is besieged will die by famine. And I will fulfill my indignation among 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。
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain will be in the midst of your idols, all around your altars, on every exalted hill, and on the summits of all the mountains, and under every dense tree, and under every leafy oak: the places where they burned sweet-smelling 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。」
And I will extend my hand over them. And I will make the earth desolate and destitute: from the desert of Riblah to all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
