Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.
人子，你應開庭裁判這座流人血的城，叫她知道自己的醜惡。
3 And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!
你應說：吾主上主這樣說：那流人血，使時辰迫近，製造偶像，自染不潔的城，是有禍的!
4 You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.
因你傾流人血，自負血債；因你製造偶像，自染不潔，致使你的日子已近，你的年限已到；為此，我要使你成為萬民所侮辱，萬邦所恥笑的對象。
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.
那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。
6 See, the rulers of Israel, every one in his family, have been causing death in you.
看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。
7 In you they have had no respect for father and mother; in you they have been cruel to the man from a strange land; in you they have done wrong to the child without a father and to the widow.
在你中間有人輕視父母，在你中間有人壓迫外方人，在你中間也有人欺壓孤兒寡婦。
8 You have made little of my holy things, and have made my Sabbaths unclean.
你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
9 In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.
在你中間有人誹謗，好傾流人血。在你中間有人到山上吃祭物，在你中間有人行淫亂。
10 In you they have let the shame of their fathers be seen; in you they have done wrong to a woman at the time when she was unclean.
在你中間有人揭開父親的下體，在你中間有人玷污行經不潔的婦女。
11 And in you one man has done what was disgusting with his neighbour's wife; and another has made his daughter-in-law unclean; and another has done wrong to his sister, his father's daughter.
在你中間有人同鄰人的妻子行醜惡之事，有人姦污自己的兒媳，有人玷辱自己的姊妹，即父親的女兒。
12 In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.
在你中間有人接受賄賂，以傾流人血。你收息金，放重利，用強力剝削你的近人，而你竟忘了我──吾主上主的斷語──
13 See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.
看，對對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。
14 Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.
在我與你算賬的那天，難道你的心還能忍受，你的手還能堅強﹖我，上主言出必行。
15 And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.
我要將你驅逐在異民中，將你散佈在各地，消除你的污穢。
16 And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
以後在異民眼前，我必再使你做我的產業：如此你要承認我是上主。」
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.
人子，以色列家族對我好像是渣滓，他們成了爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鋁，他們都成了銀渣。
19 For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
因此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們都成了渣滓，為此，看，我必將你們聚集在耶路撒冷，
20 As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
就如把銀、銅、鐵、鉛和錫聚集在煉爐中，在上面吹火，使它們鎔化；照樣，我也要把你們聚集在我的怒火和憤恨中，將你們拋在裏面鎔化。
21 Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.
我要聚集你們，在你們身上吹起我的怒火，使你們鎔化在耶路撒冷；
22 As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.
就像銀子在煉爐中鎔化，你們也照樣在城中鎔化：如此，你們就承認我是上主，是我在你們身上發洩了怒火。」
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
24 Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.
人子，你應對此城說：你是一塊在震怒之日無雨無水之地。
25 Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.
城中的王侯像司裂獵物的吼獅，他們吞噬人民，搶奪財物和珍寶，增加了城中的寡婦。
26 Her priests have been acting violently against my law; they have made my holy things unclean: they have made no division between what is holy and what is common, and they have not made it clear that the unclean is different from the clean, and their eyes have been shut to my Sabbaths, and I am not honoured among them.
城中司祭違犯我的法律，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖與俗，不辨明潔與不潔，且掩目不顧我的安息日，致使我在他們中蒙受褻瀆。
27 Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.
城中的首長像撕裂獵物的豺狼，傾流人血，殺害人命，以圖謀不義之財。
28 And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.
城中的先知還為他們掩飾罪過，所見的都是假異象，所說的都是欺詐的預言。他們說：吾主上主這樣說，其實上主並沒有說。
29 The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.
本地的人民蠻橫強暴，劫奪搶掠，欺壓窮苦貧困的人，迫害外方人，無法無天。
30 And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.
我在他們中找尋一個能修理城牆的人，能在我面前為保護本地，站在缺口處，免得我去破壞那地方的人；但我沒找到一個。
31 And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.
為此，我向他們發洩我的怒氣，用我的怒火消滅他們，把他們的行為報復在他們頭上──吾主上主的斷語。
