< Ezekiel 5 >

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife; a barber's razor shalt thou take; and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: and thou shalt take balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
“人子啊,你要拿一把快刀,当作剃头刀,用这刀剃你的头发和你的胡须,用天平将须发平分。
2 A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
围困城的日子满了,你要将三分之一在城中用火焚烧,将三分之一在城的四围用刀砍碎,将三分之一任风吹散;我也要拔刀追赶。
3 And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts;
你要从其中取几根包在衣襟里,
4 and thou shalt take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: from it shall a fire come forth against all the house of Israel.
再从这几根中取些扔在火中焚烧,从里面必有火出来烧入以色列全家。
5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries are round about her.
主耶和华如此说:这就是耶路撒冷。我曾将她安置在列邦之中;列国都在她的四围。
6 And she hath rebelled against my judgments in wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for mine ordinances have they refused; and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
她行恶,违背我的典章,过于列国;干犯我的律例,过于四围的列邦,因为她弃掉我的典章。至于我的律例,她并没有遵行。
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, nor [even] have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
所以主耶和华如此说:因为你们纷争过于四围的列国,也不遵行我的律例,不谨守我的典章,并以遵从四围列国的恶规尚不满意,
8 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations;
所以主耶和华如此说:看哪,我与你反对,必在列国的眼前,在你中间,施行审判;
9 and I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
并且因你一切可憎的事,我要在你中间行我所未曾行的,以后我也不再照着行。
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter to all the winds.
在你中间父亲要吃儿子,儿子要吃父亲。我必向你施行审判,我必将你所剩下的分散四方。”
11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also withdraw mine eye, and it shall not spare, nor will I have any pity.
主耶和华说:“我指着我的永生起誓,因你用一切可憎的物、可厌的事玷污了我的圣所,故此,我定要使你人数减少,我眼必不顾惜你,也不可怜你。
12 A third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, and shall be consumed by the famine in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死,在你中间必因饥荒消灭;三分之一必在你四围倒在刀下;我必将三分之一分散四方,并要拔刀追赶他们。
13 And mine anger shall be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon them, and I will comfort myself; and they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished my fury upon them.
“我要这样成就怒中所定的;我向他们发的忿怒止息了,自己就得着安慰。我在他们身上成就怒中所定的那时,他们就知道我—耶和华所说的是出于热心;
14 And I will make thee a waste and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
并且我必使你在四围的列国中,在经过的众人眼前,成了荒凉和羞辱。
15 And it shall be a reproach, and a taunt, an instruction, and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
这样,我必以怒气和忿怒,并烈怒的责备,向你施行审判。那时,你就在四围的列国中成为羞辱、讥刺、警戒、惊骇。这是我—耶和华说的。
16 When I send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for [their] destruction, which I send to destroy you, then will I increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread.
那时,我要将灭人、使人饥荒的恶箭,就是射去灭人的,射在你们身上,并要加增你们的饥荒,断绝你们所倚靠的粮食;
17 And I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, which shall bereave thee of children; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
又要使饥荒和恶兽到你那里,叫你丧子,瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那里;我也要使刀剑临到你。这是我—耶和华说的。”
