Ezekiel 22
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its 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 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
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 You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
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 The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。
6 Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。
7 They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
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 You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
9 Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
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 One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
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 each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
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 They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
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 And behold, I have struck My hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
看，對對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。
14 Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [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 have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
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 you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
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 said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering 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 A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted 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 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
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 the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on 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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
24 “Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a 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 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
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 Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
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 Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining 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 its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has 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 have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
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 seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have 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 And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
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。
