< Ezekiel 35 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 “Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
人子,你要面向色依爾山,講預言攻斥它,
3 Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
對它說:吾主上主這樣說:色依爾山啊! 看,我要攻擊你,伸手打擊你,使你變成沙漠和荒野。
4 I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
我要使你的城市變成廢墟,你將成為沙漠:如此,你便承認我是上主。
5 Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
因為在以色列子民遭難時,在他們罪惡滿盈時,你懷著永不忘的仇恨將他們交於刀劍:
6 So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
為此,我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你既仇恨了血,血也必迫害你。
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
我必使色依爾山成為沙漠和荒野,由其中滅絕來往經過的人。
8 I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
我要使你的群山、丘陵、山谷和溪澗,堆滿傷亡的人,使刀劍傷亡的人橫臥其中。
9 I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
我要使你永久變為荒蕪,你的城邑再沒有人居住:如此,你們便承認我是上主。
10 Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
因為你說過:這兩個民族,這兩個地域應屬於我,雖然雅威住在那裏,我還要去佔領;
11 then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
為此,我指著我的生命起誓,──吾主上主的斷語──就如你怎樣懷著仇恨對待他們,同樣我也必以怒火和妒恨來對待你;當我懲罰你時,我叫你知道我在他們中,
12 You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
並要你知道,我上主聽見了你向以色列的群山所講的一切詛咒的話,說:它們已荒蕪了,已交給我們享用。
13 You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
當你們開口說大話攻斥我,說出許多凌辱我的話時,我都聽見了。
14 This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
吾主上主這樣說:當全地歡躍時,我要使你荒蕪,
15 Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
就如在以色列家的產業荒蕪時,你曾喜樂;同樣,我也要這樣對待你;色依爾山必變成荒野,全厄東必被消滅:如此,人必承認我是上主。」
