Ezekiel 28
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
人子，你要向提洛的王子說：吾主上主這樣說：因為你心高氣傲地說：『我是神，我在海心坐在神位上。』其實，你只是人，而不是神，你心中卻自以為是神。
3 You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
看，至於明智，你勝過達尼爾，任何秘密都不能隱瞞你。
4 Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
你憑你的智慧和聰明發了財，把金銀儲滿你寶庫。
5 You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
你在貿易上憑你的豐富智慧，不斷增加你的財富；因你的財富，你便心高氣傲，
6 So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
為此吾主上主這樣說：因為你心中自以為是神，
7 watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
為此，看我要率領外方人，即列國最蠻橫的人來攻打你，他們要拔出劍來攻擊你以智慧所得的美麗，玷污你的光華，
8 They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
將你拋入深淵，使你在海中遭受慘死。
9 Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
在殺戮你的面前，你還敢說『我是神』嗎﹖在擊殺你的人手中，你只是人，而不是神。
10 You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
你必在外方人手中死去，像未受割損的人死去一樣：這是我，上主說的──吾主上主的斷語。」
11 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
12 “Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
人子，你要為提洛的王子唱哀歌，哀悼他說：吾主上主這樣說：你原是一個完美的的模型，滿備智慧，十分美觀。
13 You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
你曾住在「伊甸」──天主的樂園內，有各種寶石作你的服飾，如赤玉、青玉、金鋼石、橄欖玉、紅瑪瑙、水蒼玉、藍玉、紫寶石、翡翠；衣邊和繡花是用金做的，在你受造的那天，都已準備好了。
14 I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
我曾立你為革魯賓，作光耀的守衛，在天主的聖山上，在烈火的石中往來。
15 You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
從你受造之日起，你的行為原是齊全的，直到你犯了罪之時。
16 You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
因你生意興隆，你就充滿了欺壓，犯了重罪，因此我從天主的山上將你趕走，從烈火石中將你這作守衛的革魯賓剷除。
17 You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
你因美麗而心高氣傲，為了你的光耀，你失去了智慧，所以我要把你拋在地上，叫你在列王面前出醜。
18 By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
因你罪過眾多，因你經商不公，褻瀆了你的聖所，所以我要使火由你中間冒出，將你燒毀，在眾目昭彰之下，使你成為地上的塵埃。
19 All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
萬民中凡認識你的，都因你而驚駭。你將成為恐怖的對象，且永遠不復存在。」
20 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
21 “Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
人子，你應面向漆冬，講預言攻擊她，
22 Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
對她說：吾主上主這樣說：漆冬，看，我要攻擊你，在你中間受光榮；當我對她施行懲罰，對她顯示我的聖善時，他們必承認我是上主。
23 I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
我要在她境內散發瘟疫，使血傾流在街市上，刀劍由四周向她襲擊，傷亡的人橫臥在她中間：這樣，他們必承認我是上主。
24 The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
以色列的四鄰中，為以色列家族再沒有刺人的荊棘和惱人的蒺藜，敢於輕視他們：這樣，他們必承認我是上主。」
25 This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
吾主上主這樣說：「當我把分散在各民族中的以色列家族聚集起來時，我要在異民前，在他們身上顯示為聖：他們要住在我所賜予我僕人雅各伯的地域內。
26 They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
他們要安全地住在那裏，建造房屋，栽植葡萄園；當我向一般輕視過他們的四鄰施行懲罰時，他們必平安地住在那裏。那麼他們必承認我，上主，是他們的天主。」
