以西結書 6
1 耶和華的話臨到我說：
A message from the Lord came to me that said,
2 「人子啊，你要面向以色列的眾山說預言，
“Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains 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。
Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and 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 pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their 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 put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your 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。
Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.
7 被殺的人必倒在你們中間，你們就知道我是耶和華。
People will be killed all throughout your country. Then 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。
However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.
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。
Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.
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。
Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster 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: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.
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。
Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards 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 the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered 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。」
I'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
