Ezekiel 9
1 Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”
他向我耳中大声喊叫说：“要使那监管这城的人手中各拿灭命的兵器前来。”
2 I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to the bronze altar.
忽然有六个人从朝北的上门而来，各人手拿杀人的兵器；内中有一人身穿细麻衣，腰间带着墨盒子。他们进来，站在铜祭坛旁。
3 The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,
以色列 神的荣耀本在基路伯上，现今从那里升到殿的门槛。 神将那身穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人召来。
4 “Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”
耶和华对他说：“你去走遍耶路撒冷全城，那些因城中所行可憎之事叹息哀哭的人，画记号在额上。”
5 Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!
我耳中听见他对其余的人说：“要跟随他走遍全城，以行击杀。你们的眼不要顾惜，也不要可怜他们。
6 Kill the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.
要将年老的、年少的，并处女、婴孩，和妇女，从圣所起全都杀尽，只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他。”于是他们从殿前的长老杀起。
7 Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through the city.
他对他们说：“要污秽这殿，使院中充满被杀的人。你们出去吧！”他们就出去，在城中击杀。
8 While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”
他们击杀的时候，我被留下，我就俯伏在地，说：“哎！主耶和华啊，你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷，岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝吗？”
9 “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’
他对我说：“以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大。遍地有流血的事，满城有冤屈，因为他们说：‘耶和华已经离弃这地，他看不见我们。’
10 But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”
故此，我眼必不顾惜，也不可怜他们，要照他们所行的报应在他们头上。”
11 Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
那穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人将这事回复说：“我已经照你所吩咐的行了。”
