Jezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
第六年六月初五日，我坐在家中；犹大的众长老坐在我面前。在那里主耶和华的灵降在我身上。
2 And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
我观看，见有形象仿佛火的形状，从他腰以下的形状有火，从他腰以上有光辉的形状，仿佛光耀的精金。
3 And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
他伸出仿佛一只手的样式，抓住我的一绺头发，灵就将我举到天地中间，在 神的异象中，带我到耶路撒冷朝北的内院门口，在那里有触动主怒偶像的坐位，就是惹动忌邪的。
4 And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
谁知，在那里有以色列 神的荣耀，形状与我在平原所见的一样。
5 And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.
神对我说：“人子啊，你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，见祭坛门的北边，在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像；
6 And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.
又对我说：“人子啊，以色列家所行的，就是在此行这大可憎的事，使我远离我的圣所，你看见了吗？你还要看见另有大可憎的事。”
7 And he brought me to the porch of the court.
他领我到院门口。我观看，见墙上有个窟窿。
8 And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
他对我说：“人子啊，你要挖墙。”我一挖墙，见有一门。
9 And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
他说：“你进去，看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。”
10 So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
我进去一看，谁知，在四面墙上画着各样爬物和可憎的走兽，并以色列家一切的偶像。
11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立，沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中。各人手拿香炉，烟云的香气上腾。
12 And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
他对我说：“人子啊，以色列家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的，你看见了吗？他们常说：‘耶和华看不见我们；耶和华已经离弃这地。’”
13 And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.
他又说：“你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事。”
14 And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
他领我到耶和华殿外院朝北的门口。谁知，在那里有妇女坐着，为搭模斯哭泣。
15 And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？你还要看见比这更可憎的事。”
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
他又领我到耶和华殿的内院。谁知，在耶和华的殿门口、廊子和祭坛中间，约有二十五个人背向耶和华的殿，面向东方拜日头。
17 And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小吗？他们在这地遍行强暴，再三惹我发怒，他们手拿枝条举向鼻前。
18 Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
因此，我也要以忿怒行事，我眼必不顾惜，也不可怜他们；他们虽向我耳中大声呼求，我还是不听。”
