Jezekiel 5
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sword sharper than a barber's razor; thou shalt procure it for thyself, and shalt bring it upon thine head, and upon thy beard: and thou shalt take a pair of scales, and shalt separate 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 A fourth part thou shalt burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfillment of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part thou shalt cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part thou shalt scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after 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 And thou shalt take thence a few in number, and shalt wrap them in the fold of thy garment.
但你要從鬍鬚中取出幾根來，繫在你的衣服邊上，
4 And thou shalt take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and thou shalt say 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 Thus saith the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.
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 And thou shalt declare mine ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes [to the sinful one] of the countries round about her: because they have rejected mine 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 thus saith the Lord, Because your occasion [for sin has been taken] from the nations round about you, and ye have not walked in my statutes, nor kept mine ordinances, nay, ye have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus saith the Lord;
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 Behold, I am against thee, and I will execute judgment in the midst of thee 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 And I will do in thee things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all thine abominations.
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 Therefore the fathers shall eat [their] children in the midst of thee, and children shall eat [their] fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter all that are left of thee 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] I live, saith the Lord; surely, because thou hast defiled my holy things with all thine abominations, I also will reject thee; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.
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 fourth part of thee shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of thee shall be consumed in the midst of thee with famine: and [as for another] fourth part of thee, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of thee shall fall by sword round about thee, and I will draw out a sword after 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 my wrath and mine anger shall be accomplished upon them: and thou shalt know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished mine anger upon them.
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 And I will make thee desolate, and thy daughters round about thee, in the sight of every one that passes through.
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 And thou shalt be mourned over and miserable among the nations round about thee, when I have executed judgments in thee in the vengeance of my wrath. 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 And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of thy bread.
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 So I will send forth against thee famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon thee; and I will bring a sword upon thee round about. 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。」
