< Ezekiel 35 >
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:
2 “Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
“人子啊,你要面向西珥山发预言,攻击它,
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.
对它说,主耶和华如此说:西珥山哪,我与你为敌,必向你伸手攻击你,使你荒凉,令人惊骇。
4 I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
我必使你的城邑变为荒场,成为凄凉。你就知道我是耶和华。
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.
因为你永怀仇恨,在以色列人遭灾、罪孽到了尽头的时候,将他们交与刀剑,
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.
所以主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,我必使你遭遇流血的报应,罪必追赶你;你既不恨恶杀人流血,所以这罪必追赶你。
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
我必使西珥山荒凉,令人惊骇,来往经过的人我必剪除。
8 I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
我必使西珥山满有被杀的人。被刀杀的,必倒在你小山和山谷,并一切的溪水中。
9 I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
我必使你永远荒凉,使你的城邑无人居住,你的民就知道我是耶和华。
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,’
“因为你曾说:‘这二国这二邦必归于我,我必得为业’(其实耶和华仍在那里),
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.
所以主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,我必照你的怒气和你从仇恨中向他们所发的嫉妒待你。我审判你的时候,必将自己显明在他们中间。
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!’
你也必知道我—耶和华听见了你的一切毁谤,就是你攻击以色列山的话,说:‘这些山荒凉,是归我们吞灭的。’
13 You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
你们也用口向我夸大,增添与我反对的话,我都听见了。
14 This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
主耶和华如此说:全地欢乐的时候,我必使你荒凉。
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.”
你怎样因以色列家的地业荒凉而喜乐,我必照你所行的待你。西珥山哪,你和以东全地必都荒凉。你们就知道我是耶和华。”
