Ezekiel 24
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,
第九年十月初十日，耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 “Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
“人子啊，今日正是巴比伦王就近耶路撒冷的日子，你要将这日记下，
3 And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it,
要向这悖逆之家设比喻说，主耶和华如此说： 将锅放在火上， 放好了，就倒水在其中；
4 To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.
将肉块，就是一切肥美的肉块、腿， 和肩都聚在其中， 拿美好的骨头把锅装满；
5 To take the choice of the flock, And also to pile the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst.
取羊群中最好的， 将柴堆在锅下， 使锅开滚， 好把骨头煮在其中。
6 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum has not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it.
“主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，就是长锈的锅。其中的锈未曾除掉，须要将肉块从其中一一取出来，不必为它拈阄。
7 For her blood has been in her midst, She has set it on a clear place of a rock, She has not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上，不倒在地上，用土掩盖。
8 To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.
这城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上，不得掩盖，乃是出于我，为要发忿怒施行报应。
9 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
所以主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，我也必大堆火柴，
10 Make the wood abundant, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burned.
添上木柴，使火着旺，将肉煮烂，把汤熬浓，使骨头烤焦；
11 And cause it to stand empty on its coals, So that its bronze is hot and burning, Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, Its scum is consumed.
把锅倒空坐在炭火上，使锅烧热，使铜烧红，熔化其中的污秽，除净其上的锈。
12 She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, Her scum [is] in the fire.
这锅劳碌疲乏，所长的大锈仍未除掉；这锈就是用火也不能除掉。
13 Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, Because I have cleansed you, And you have not been cleansed, You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
在你污秽中有淫行，我洁净你，你却不洁净。你的污秽再不能洁净，直等我向你发的忿怒止息。
14 I, YHWH, have spoken, It has come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I regret, According to your ways, and according to your acts, They have judged you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
我—耶和华说过的必定成就，必照话而行，必不返回，必不顾惜，也不后悔。人必照你的举动行为审判你。这是主耶和华说的。”
15 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
16 “Son of man, behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come.
“人子啊，我要将你眼目所喜爱的忽然取去，你却不可悲哀哭泣，也不可流泪，
17 Cease to groan [and] make no mourning [for] the dead, bind your headdress on yourself, and put your shoes on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and you do not eat [the] bread of men.”
只可叹息，不可出声，不可办理丧事；头上仍勒裹头巾，脚上仍穿鞋，不可蒙着嘴唇，也不可吃吊丧的食物。”
18 And I speak to the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
于是我将这事早晨告诉百姓，晚上我的妻就死了。次日早晨我便遵命而行。
19 And the people say to me, “Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?”
百姓问我说：“你这样行与我们有什么关系，你不告诉我们吗？”
20 And I say to them, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
我回答他们：“耶和华的话临到我说：
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am defiling My sanctuary, The excellence of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, fall by sword.
‘你告诉以色列家，主耶和华如此说：我必使我的圣所，就是你们势力所夸耀、眼里所喜爱、心中所爱惜的被亵渎，并且你们所遗留的儿女必倒在刀下。
22 And you have done as I have done, You have not covered over the upper lip, And you do not eat [the] bread of men.
那时，你们必行我仆人所行的，不蒙着嘴唇，也不吃吊丧的食物。
23 And your headdresses [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled to one another.
你们仍要头上勒裹头巾，脚上穿鞋；不可悲哀哭泣。你们必因自己的罪孽相对叹息，渐渐消灭。
24 And Ezekiel has been for a type to you; according to all that he has done you do. In its coming in—you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
以西结必这样为你们作预兆；凡他所行的，你们也必照样行。那事来到，你们就知道我是主耶和华。’
25 “And you, son of man, is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the song of their soul—their sons and their daughters?
“人子啊，我除掉他们所倚靠、所欢喜的荣耀，并眼中所喜爱、心里所重看的儿女。
26 In that day the escaped one comes to you to cause the ears to hear.
那日逃脱的人岂不来到你这里，使你耳闻这事吗？
27 In that day your mouth is opened with the escaped and you speak, and are not silent anymore, and you have been for a type to them, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
你必向逃脱的人开口说话，不再哑口。你必这样为他们作预兆，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
