< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
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 saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight 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 as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
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 God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that I had seen 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 your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
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, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
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 led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening in the wall.
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 in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one 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: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing here.”
他说:“你进去,看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。”
10 And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
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 there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
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: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. 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: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
他又说:“你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事。”
14 And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
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: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations than 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 led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of 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: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a branch to their nose.
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, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
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。”
