Jezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, thou, son of man, say,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 Thus saith the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.
人子，你要說：吾主上主這樣對以色列地域說：結局到了，大地四極的結局到了。
3 The end is come on thee,
現今你的結局已到：我要向你發洩我的憤怒，按你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
4 the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn nigh, not with tumult, nor with pangs.
我的眼決不憐視你，一點也不顧惜你；反之，我必按照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間；這樣，你們必承認我是上主。
5 Now I will pour out my anger upon thee near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on thee: and I will judge thee for thy ways, and recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
吾主上主這樣說：「看，災禍，那唯一的災禍來了。
6 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord that smite [thee].
結局到了，那對付你的結局到了，看，已來到目前。
7 Now the end [is come] to thee, and I will send [judgment] upon thee: and I will take vengeance on thy ways, and will recompense all thine abominations upon thee.
當地的居民啊! 惡運已臨於你，時辰已到，恐怖的日子已近，山上再聽不到歡呼的聲音。
8 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy way upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
現今我就快要向你發洩我的憤怒，在你身上盡洩我的怒火，要按照你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
9 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, the end is come.
我的眼決不憐視，一點也不顧惜；反之，我要照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間：這樣你們必承認我是施罰的天主。」 「
10 Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,
看，那日子確已來到，惡運已定，暴行開花，傲慢發芽。
11 pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.
殘暴興起，成為作惡的權杖；他們中將一無所存，他們的財富沒有了，豪華不見了，光榮一無所留。
12 The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.
時辰到了，日子近了；買主不要歡樂，賣主也不要憂愁，因為怒火要降在一切財富上。
13 For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.
賣主雖還活著，但不得再贖回他所賣的，因為懲罰一降在一切民眾身上，誰也不能再挽回。無人在罪惡中能保全生命。
14 Sound ye the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.
你們吹喇叭，將一切準備便當；但無人出征上陣，因為我的怒火要降在所有人民身上。
15 [There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.
外有刀兵，內有瘟疫饑荒；凡在鄉間的，要喪身刀下；在城中的，要死於瘟疫饑荒。
16 But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will slay all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.
那些僥倖逃亡的，到了山中，必像谷中哀鳴的鴿子，各人悲泣自己的罪惡。
17 All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.
人人雙手疲憊無力，雙膝軟弱如水，
18 And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.
身穿苦衣，都為恐怖所籠罩；每人面帶羞慚，頭頂完全剃光。
19 Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.
他們將自己的銀子丟在街頭，金子為他們成了污穢之物；他們的金銀，在上主發怒之日，不能拯救他們；金銀不能使他們充饑，不能填滿他們的肚腹，因為金銀是他們犯罪的絆腳石。
20 [As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.
他們既然把自己華麗的裝飾品作為誇耀的東西，做成醜惡的偶像和怪物；
21 And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.
所以我要使偶像成為他們的不潔之物，我要把它交於外邦人手中作勝利品，給本地匪徒作為掠物，而予以褻瀆。
22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.
我要轉面不看他們，讓外人褻瀆我的寶藏，讓野人侵入而加以褻瀆，
23 And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.
並用來製造鎖鏈；因為此地充滿了血債，城中充滿了殘暴。
24 And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.
為此，我必叫最兇惡的異民來佔據他們的房舍，消滅他們傲慢的勢力，並使他們的聖所受到褻瀆。
25 And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.
當恐怖來臨時，他們尋求救援，卻沒有救援。
26 There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
禍上加禍，噩耗接踵而來；那時人向先知要求異像，卻毫無所得；司祭失去了教言，長老沒有了主意，
27 The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
君王失聲痛哭，王侯驚惶失措，當地居民的手顫動無力。我必按他們的行為向他們報復，照他們的功過裁判他們：這樣，他們必要承認我是天主。」
