Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
人子，你應開庭裁判這座流人血的城，叫她知道自己的醜惡。
3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
你應說：吾主上主這樣說：那流人血，使時辰迫近，製造偶像，自染不潔的城，是有禍的!
4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
因你傾流人血，自負血債；因你製造偶像，自染不潔，致使你的日子已近，你的年限已到；為此，我要使你成為萬民所侮辱，萬邦所恥笑的對象。
5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。
7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
在你中間有人輕視父母，在你中間有人壓迫外方人，在你中間也有人欺壓孤兒寡婦。
8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
在你中間有人誹謗，好傾流人血。在你中間有人到山上吃祭物，在你中間有人行淫亂。
10 In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
在你中間有人揭開父親的下體，在你中間有人玷污行經不潔的婦女。
11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
在你中間有人同鄰人的妻子行醜惡之事，有人姦污自己的兒媳，有人玷辱自己的姊妹，即父親的女兒。
12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
在你中間有人接受賄賂，以傾流人血。你收息金，放重利，用強力剝削你的近人，而你竟忘了我──吾主上主的斷語──
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
看，對對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。
14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and will do [it].
在我與你算賬的那天，難道你的心還能忍受，你的手還能堅強﹖我，上主言出必行。
15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
我要將你驅逐在異民中，將你散佈在各地，消除你的污穢。
16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
以後在異民眼前，我必再使你做我的產業：如此你要承認我是上主。」
17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] the dross of silver.
人子，以色列家族對我好像是渣滓，他們成了爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鋁，他們都成了銀渣。
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
因此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們都成了渣滓，為此，看，我必將你們聚集在耶路撒冷，
20 [As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it; ] so will I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and melt you.
就如把銀、銅、鐵、鉛和錫聚集在煉爐中，在上面吹火，使它們鎔化；照樣，我也要把你們聚集在我的怒火和憤恨中，將你們拋在裏面鎔化。
21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
我要聚集你們，在你們身上吹起我的怒火，使你們鎔化在耶路撒冷；
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
就像銀子在煉爐中鎔化，你們也照樣在城中鎔化：如此，你們就承認我是上主，是我在你們身上發洩了怒火。」
23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
人子，你應對此城說：你是一塊在震怒之日無雨無水之地。
25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
城中的王侯像司裂獵物的吼獅，他們吞噬人民，搶奪財物和珍寶，增加了城中的寡婦。
26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
城中司祭違犯我的法律，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖與俗，不辨明潔與不潔，且掩目不顧我的安息日，致使我在他們中蒙受褻瀆。
27 Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
城中的首長像撕裂獵物的豺狼，傾流人血，殺害人命，以圖謀不義之財。
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [morter], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
城中的先知還為他們掩飾罪過，所見的都是假異象，所說的都是欺詐的預言。他們說：吾主上主這樣說，其實上主並沒有說。
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
本地的人民蠻橫強暴，劫奪搶掠，欺壓窮苦貧困的人，迫害外方人，無法無天。
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
我在他們中找尋一個能修理城牆的人，能在我面前為保護本地，站在缺口處，免得我去破壞那地方的人；但我沒找到一個。
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
為此，我向他們發洩我的怒氣，用我的怒火消滅他們，把他們的行為報復在他們頭上──吾主上主的斷語。
