Ezekiel 5
1 “As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
「人子，你拿一把快刀，當理髮的剃刀用，剃去你的頭髮和鬍鬚，然後拿一個天平，分開那些鬚髮。
2 When the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.
等被困的日子一滿，把三分之一在城內用火燒掉；再拿三分之一在城四周用劍擊砍；其他三分之一，要揚在風中，我要拔出劍來追趕他們。
3 But you are to take a few strands of hair and secure them in the folds of your garment.
但你要從鬍鬚中取出幾根來，繫在你的衣服邊上，
4 Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
再從其中取出幾根投入火中，讓火燒掉；然後你向以色列全家說：
5 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.
吾主上主這樣說：這就是耶路撒冷! 我將她安置在萬民之中，使萬國環繞著她；
6 But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
但是她違背了我的法令，作惡甚於異民，違背我的法律甚於環繞她的列國，因為她們輕視了我的法令，沒有照我的法律行事。
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
為此，吾主上主這樣說：因為你們比環繞你們的異民更為叛逆，沒有照我的法律行事；沒有遵行我的法令，也沒有按照環繞你們異民的法律行事；
8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
因此吾主上主這樣說：看，我要親自對付你；在你中間，在異民眼前實行懲罰。
9 Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.
為了你的一切醜惡，我要對你實習未曾實行過的，將來也不會實行的事；
10 As a result, fathers among you will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments against you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.’
在你境內，為父的要吃自己的兒子，為子的要吃自己的父親。我必如此在你境內實行懲罰，且把遺民分散到四方。
11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and abominations, I Myself will withdraw My favor; I will not look upon you with pity, nor will I spare you.
為此我指著我的生命起誓說：──吾主上主的斷語──因為你用你的一切可憎和可惡之物玷污了我的聖所，我必將你剷除，我的眼決不憐視，一點也不憐惜。
12 A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine within you, a third will fall by the sword outside your walls, and a third I will scatter to every wind and unleash a sword behind them.
你三分之一的人民要在你境內死於瘟疫，亡於饑荒；另三分之一，在你四周各地喪身刀下；其他三分之一，我要分散到各地。我且拔出劍來追趕他們。
13 And when My anger is spent and I have vented My wrath against them, I will be appeased. And when I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, the LORD, in My zeal have spoken.
這樣，我的忿怒纔可以發洩，我的怒火在他們身上纔會平息，得到了報復；當我的憤怒在他們身上發洩時，他們要承認我，上主，在妒火中講了話。
14 I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
我要使你成為荒野，使你在環繞你的異民前，和所有的過客前，成為辱罵的對象。
15 So you will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
當我大發憤怒，以嚴厲的懲罰在你身上施行裁判時，你就成為環繞你的異民凌辱、恥笑、警戒和警駭的對象：這是我上主說的。
16 When I shower you with the deadly arrows of famine and destruction that I will send to destroy you, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of food.
當我向你們射出饑荒的毒箭──射出毀滅的箭，毀滅你們時──我必使饑荒在你們境內更加嚴重，斷絕你們的糧源。
17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
我必使饑荒和猛獸危害你們，掠去你們的子女，並使瘟疫和血案在你境內盛行，還有刀兵來打擊你：這是我上主說的。」
