Ezekiel 9

1 Then he called in mine ears with a loud voice, saying: 'Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.'

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 And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn on his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen 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 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and He called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn on his side.

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 And the LORD said unto him: 'Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.'

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 And to the others He said in my hearing: 'Go ye through the city after him, and smite; let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;

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 slay utterly the old man, the young man and the maiden, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.' Then they began at the elders that were before the house.

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 And He said unto them: 'Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain; go ye forth.' And they went forth, and smote in 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 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?'

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 Then said He unto me: 'The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wresting of judgment; for they say: The LORD hath forsaken the land, and the LORD seeth not.

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 And as for Me also, Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.'

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 And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn on his side, reported, saying: 'I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me.'

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。”
