< 以西結書 6 >
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to 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 say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on 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 become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men 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 dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. 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 your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
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, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the 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。
Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in 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。
They will know that I am the LORD. I have not said 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。
“The Lord GOD says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the 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。
He who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on 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。
You will know that I am the LORD when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma 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 on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
