< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there fell upon me there the inspiration of the Lord Eternal.
第六年六月初五日,我坐在家中;犹大的众长老坐在我面前。在那里主耶和华的灵降在我身上。
2 And I saw, and, behold, there was a likeness similar to the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, it was fire; and from his loins upward, it was similar to the appearance of a bright light, like the glitter of amber.
我观看,见有形象仿佛火的形状,从他腰以下的形状有火,从他腰以上有光辉的形状,仿佛光耀的精金。
3 And he stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by the locks of my head; and a spirit bore me between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to wrath.
他伸出仿佛一只手的样式,抓住我的一绺头发,灵就将我举到天地中间,在 神的异象中,带我到耶路撒冷朝北的内院门口,在那里有触动主怒偶像的坐位,就是惹动忌邪的。
4 And, behold, there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.
谁知,在那里有以色列 神的荣耀,形状与我在平原所见的一样。
5 And he said unto me, Son of man, do but lift up thy eyes in the direction toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes in the direction toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar [there was] this image of jealousy at the entrance.
神对我说:“人子啊,你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看,见祭坛门的北边,在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像;
6 Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great abominations.
又对我说:“人子啊,以色列家所行的,就是在此行这大可憎的事,使我远离我的圣所,你看见了吗?你还要看见另有大可憎的事。”
7 And he brought me to the door of the court: and I looked, and behold there was a hole in the wall.
他领我到院门口。我观看,见墙上有个窟窿。
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, do break [an opening] in the wall: and I broke [an opening] in the wall, and, behold, there was a door.
他对我说:“人子啊,你要挖墙。”我一挖墙,见有一门。
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing here.
他说:“你进去,看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。”
10 So I went in and saw; and behold there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all round about.
我进去一看,谁知,在四面墙上画着各样爬物和可憎的走兽,并以色列家一切的偶像。
11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.
在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立,沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中。各人手拿香炉,烟云的香气上腾。
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
他对我说:“人子啊,以色列家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的,你看见了吗?他们常说:‘耶和华看不见我们;耶和华已经离弃这地。’”
13 And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing.
他又说:“你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事。”
14 And he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz.
他领我到耶和华殿外院朝北的门口。谁知,在那里有妇女坐着,为搭模斯哭泣。
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other greater abominations than these.
他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了吗?你还要看见比这更可憎的事。”
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward to the sun.
他又领我到耶和华殿的内院。谁知,在耶和华的殿门口、廊子和祭坛中间,约有二十五个人背向耶和华的殿,面向东方拜日头。
17 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and they constantly repeat to provoke me to anger; and, lo, they stretch forth the branch to their nose.
他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了吗?犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小吗?他们在这地遍行强暴,再三惹我发怒,他们手拿枝条举向鼻前。
18 Therefore I also will deal in fury; my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare: and though they call before my ears with a loud voice, will I still not hear them.
因此,我也要以忿怒行事,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们;他们虽向我耳中大声呼求,我还是不听。”
