< Ezekiel 7 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
2 And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is come, the end is come upon the four quarters of the land.
「人子啊,主耶和華對以色列地如此說:結局到了,結局到了地的四境!
3 Now is an end come upon thee, and I will send my wrath upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways: and I will set all thy abominations against thee.
現在你的結局已經臨到,我必使我的怒氣歸與你,也必按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
4 And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,卻要按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道我是耶和華。
5 Thus saith the Lord God: One affliction, behold an affliction is come.
「主耶和華如此說:有一災,獨有一災;看哪,臨近了!
6 An end is come, the end is come, it hath awaked against thee: behold it is come.
結局來了,結局來了,向你興起。看哪,來到了!
7 Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains.
境內的居民哪,所定的災臨到你,時候到了,日子近了,乃是鬨嚷並非在山上歡呼的日子。
8 Now very shortly I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I will accomplish my anger in thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy crimes.
我快要將我的忿怒傾在你身上,向你成就我怒中所定的,按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I shew mercy: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike.
我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,必按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道擊打你的是我耶和華。
10 Behold the day, behold it is come: destruction is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
「看哪,看哪,日子快到了;所定的災已經發出!杖已經開花,驕傲已經發芽。
11 Iniquity is risen up into a rod of impiety: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their people, nor of the noise of them: and there shall be no rest among them.
強暴興起,成了罰惡的杖。以色列人,或是他們的群眾,或是他們的財寶,無一存留;他們中間也沒有得尊榮的。
12 The time is come, the day is at hand: let not the buyer rejoice: nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the people thereof.
時候到了,日子近了,買主不可歡喜,賣主不可愁煩,因為烈怒已經臨到他們眾人身上。
13 For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.
賣主雖然存活,卻不能歸回再得所賣的,因為這異象關乎他們眾人。誰都不得歸回,也沒有人在他的罪孽中堅立自己。」
14 Blow the trumpet, let all be made ready, yet there is none to go to the battle: for my wrath shall be upon all the people thereof.
「他們已經吹角,預備齊全,卻無一人出戰,因為我的烈怒臨到他們眾人身上。
15 The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine.
在外有刀劍;在內有瘟疫、饑荒。在田野的,必遭刀劍而死;在城中的,必有饑荒、瘟疫吞滅他。
16 And such of them as shall flee shall escape: and they shall be in the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them trembling, every one for his iniquity.
其中所逃脫的就必逃脫,各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲,好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。
17 All hands shall be made feeble, and all knees shall run with water.
手都發軟,膝弱如水。
18 And they shall gird themselves with haircloth, and fear shall cover them, and shame shall be upon every face, and baldness upon all their heads.
要用麻布束腰,被戰兢所蓋;各人臉上羞愧,頭上光禿。
19 Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a dunghill. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul, and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
他們要將銀子拋在街上,金子看如污穢之物。當耶和華發怒的日子,他們的金銀不能救他們,不能使心裏知足,也不能使肚腹飽滿,因為這金銀作了他們罪孽的絆腳石。
20 And they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I have made it an uncleanness to them.
論到耶和華妝飾華美的殿,他建立得威嚴,他們卻在其中製造可憎可厭的偶像,所以這殿我使他們看如污穢之物。
21 And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it.
我必將這殿交付外邦人為掠物,交付地上的惡人為擄物;他們也必褻瀆這殿。
22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
我必轉臉不顧以色列人,他們褻瀆我隱密之所,強盜也必進去褻瀆。
23 Make a shutting up: for the land is full of the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.
「要製造鎖鍊;因為這地遍滿流血的罪,城邑充滿強暴的事。
24 And I will bring the worse of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they shall possess their sanctuary.
所以,我必使列國中最惡的人來佔據他們的房屋;我必使強暴人的驕傲止息,他們的聖所都要被褻瀆。
25 When distress cometh upon them, they will seek for peace and there shall be none.
毀滅臨近了;他們要求平安,卻無平安可得。
26 Trouble shall come upon trouble, and rumour upon rumour, and they shall seek a vision of the prophet, and the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
災害加上災害,風聲接連風聲;他們必向先知求異象,但祭司講的律法、長老設的謀略都必斷絕。
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with sorrow, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and will judge them according to their judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
君要悲哀,王要披淒涼為衣,國民的手都發顫。我必照他們的行為待他們,按他們應得的審判他們,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
