Ezekiel 7
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the people living in Israel: The end is here! The end has arrived throughout the country.
人子，你要說：吾主上主這樣對以色列地域說：結局到了，大地四極的結局到了。
3 Now is the end for you! I'm going to direct my anger against you. I'm judging you for your actions and will pay you back for the offensive things you've done.
現今你的結局已到：我要向你發洩我的憤怒，按你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
4 I won't have any pity for you, or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you'll know that I am the Lord.
我的眼決不憐視你，一點也不顧惜你；反之，我必按照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間；這樣，你們必承認我是上主。
5 This is what the Lord God says: Watch out! Disaster after disaster is coming!
吾主上主這樣說：「看，災禍，那唯一的災禍來了。
6 The end is here! The end has come, and it's coming for you! Watch out! This is the end!
結局到了，那對付你的結局到了，看，已來到目前。
7 You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.
當地的居民啊! 惡運已臨於你，時辰已到，恐怖的日子已近，山上再聽不到歡呼的聲音。
8 Very shortly I'm going to show you how angry I am with you. I will judge you by what you have done, and punish you for all your disgusting sins.
現今我就快要向你發洩我的憤怒，在你身上盡洩我的怒火，要按照你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
9 I won't have any pity for you or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is attacking you.
我的眼決不憐視，一點也不顧惜；反之，我要照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間：這樣你們必承認我是施罰的天主。」 「
10 Can't you see? The day is here! It has arrived! The consequences of your actions have come full circle—the walking stick has blossomed, pride has come into full bloom.
看，那日子確已來到，惡運已定，暴行開花，傲慢發芽。
11 Their way of violence has turned into a rod to punish them for their wickedness. None of them will survive—none of that whole crowd, and none of their wealth or honor.
殘暴興起，成為作惡的權杖；他們中將一無所存，他們的財富沒有了，豪華不見了，光榮一無所留。
12 The time has come; the day is here! Buyers, don't celebrate thinking you'll get a good deal; sellers, don't cry thinking you're going to make a loss—because punishment is coming to everyone.
時辰到了，日子近了；買主不要歡樂，賣主也不要憂愁，因為怒火要降在一切財富上。
13 Sellers won't ever get back the purchase price while they're still alive. I'm not going to change the plan I have revealed that applies to everyone. People who go on sinning won't survive.
賣主雖還活著，但不得再贖回他所賣的，因為懲罰一降在一切民眾身上，誰也不能再挽回。無人在罪惡中能保全生命。
14 Even though the trumpet call to arms has sounded, even though all the preparations have been made, no one is ready to fight, because I am angry with everyone.
你們吹喇叭，將一切準備便當；但無人出征上陣，因為我的怒火要降在所有人民身上。
15 Outside the city are armed attacks; inside are disease and starvation. Those in the countryside will be killed by the sword, and those in the city will be destroyed by starvation and disease.
外有刀兵，內有瘟疫饑荒；凡在鄉間的，要喪身刀下；在城中的，要死於瘟疫饑荒。
16 Those who do survive will escape and go to live in the mountains. They will sigh like the doves of the valley, each person thinking about their own sins.
那些僥倖逃亡的，到了山中，必像谷中哀鳴的鴿子，各人悲泣自己的罪惡。
17 Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go weak.
人人雙手疲憊無力，雙膝軟弱如水，
18 They will put on clothes made of sackcloth, and they will be totally terrified. They will all be ashamed and shave their heads in mourning.
身穿苦衣，都為恐怖所籠罩；每人面帶羞慚，頭頂完全剃光。
19 They will throw away their silver in the streets and treat their gold as if it's something unclean. Their silver and gold won't be able to save them when the day of the Lord's anger comes. Their money won't satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs. In fact this was the problem that caused their sin in the first place.
他們將自己的銀子丟在街頭，金子為他們成了污穢之物；他們的金銀，在上主發怒之日，不能拯救他們；金銀不能使他們充饑，不能填滿他們的肚腹，因為金銀是他們犯罪的絆腳石。
20 They were so proud of their beautiful jewelry that they used it to make their disgusting images and decorate their offensive idols. So I'm going to turn these idols into unclean things for them.
他們既然把自己華麗的裝飾品作為誇耀的東西，做成醜惡的偶像和怪物；
21 I'm going to hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked people of the earth, who will make them unclean.
所以我要使偶像成為他們的不潔之物，我要把它交於外邦人手中作勝利品，給本地匪徒作為掠物，而予以褻瀆。
22 I will look away as they make my precious place unclean. Men of violence will enter and make it unclean.
我要轉面不看他們，讓外人褻瀆我的寶藏，讓野人侵入而加以褻瀆，
23 Get the chains ready, because the country is full of blood being spilled by violent crimes, and the city itself is full of violence.
並用來製造鎖鏈；因為此地充滿了血債，城中充滿了殘暴。
24 So I'm going to bring the most evil of all the nations to take over their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the powerful, and their holy places will be made unclean.
為此，我必叫最兇惡的異民來佔據他們的房舍，消滅他們傲慢的勢力，並使他們的聖所受到褻瀆。
25 Absolutely terrified, the people will look for peace, but won't find it.
當恐怖來臨時，他們尋求救援，卻沒有救援。
26 Disaster after disaster will come down on them, and rumor after rumor. They will ask for a vision from a prophet, but there won't be any, and there won't be any instructions from the priests or advice from the elders either.
禍上加禍，噩耗接踵而來；那時人向先知要求異像，卻毫無所得；司祭失去了教言，長老沒有了主意，
27 The king will mourn, the prince will be devastated, and no one in the country will know what to do. I will do to them as they have done to others; I will judge them as they have judged others. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
君王失聲痛哭，王侯驚惶失措，當地居民的手顫動無力。我必按他們的行為向他們報復，照他們的功過裁判他們：這樣，他們必要承認我是天主。」
